This is the day the Lord has made, let us be thankful for this day and I am grateful. For the rain that is badly need. For the air that smells so fresh and clean. For the bath that my car got. For the opportunity to be outside, no longer locked indoors from 8 to 5.
For the time to talk to my daughter and hear her cheerful voice. For the homework I have to accomplish. For my friends and family. For my kitties who keep me company and for all the blessings God has given me. No matter the weather I like to spend time outdoors.
To see the beauty around me. To talk to God and be silent so that I may hear his answers. Where I am at this point in time is right where I am supposed to be. God has seen to it that all my needs are filled and has given me a sense of peace I have never known.
The opportunity to learn a new vocation and the time to do it. Never before have I been so aware of my everyday and been filled with such gratitude. God has taught me so much. To slow down and to be more aware. To appreciate everything in my life.
To share the joy I feel and the deep love God has for all of us with others. That it is important to take time for God before anything else. That we don't need to struggle to have abundance. That we don't need a lot to feel grateful. That the more we share the more we receive.
That we don't need anything else but an open heart and a willingness to have faith, ask for guidance and be willing to listen and follow the path He puts before us. That there is no need to worry about the future for it is in God's hands and He know what is best for us.
That God loves to see His children happy and to hear from us. That He is never too busy. That He is everywhere including our spirit within. That we are part of the great-I-am and each of us has a purpose to fulfill. Something only we can do, and each day is perfect with God.

A day of peace
God brings us the abundance and prosperity we need in our lives not things but in love, in awareness, in personal growth of the self and spirit, of being closer ourselves with Him and in serving Him on this journey in life. He teaches us how to see and appreciate the beauty of the world and of all things and to know as we follow the path He sets for us that He will provide for our needs as that we may be secure in Him and follow our destiny.
God never leaves us but helps to teach us. To set aside time each day to communicate with Him, keeps us grounded in truth and faith and makes us aware of God's deep and unconditional love. When we ask God He can heal us physically, spiritually and emotionally.
He will give us the light to show us the way and provide abundantly for us on the way. The important things in life are not things, not acquisitions, although He will provide for those too, but what we do with our lives, the difference we can make just being here.
How we touch the lives of others and fulfill our destiny. We came here to learn, to grow, to serve and to touch the hearts and souls of others along the way. God's message is always one of love and forgiveness. Let us harbor no ill will toward anyone but be at peace with ourselves and with God.
Let our walk on earth be one of awareness, to live consciously every day with God at the center of our lives. Let us find the way to inner peace by seeking the serenity that only God can give. When we interact with others let us be is loving as our Father, not looking to find fault but to be examples of His love and caring.
He helps us to live in the light instead of struggling in the darkness. God is the source of our strength. He protects us, teaches us, helps us not just to survive but to grow through the many lessons we encounter along the way. God help me to have patience today and every day. To realize it is not as important to prove I am right as it is to see the uselessness of arguing.
Let others find their own truth through you but help me to be quiet when it is time for me to be, that I may speak through example. You can teach as much in silence as you can in words, especially when you are an example of loving kindness in action. Let today be one of peace among us as we try to create and pray for peace in the world and the universe. Peace in the hearts of all men is brotherhood.

In Talking To God
I do not pray so much as I just talk to God. I share my thoughts, ask for guidance and thank Him for the blessing of my life and of each day. I let Him know I appreciate the beauty in the world He created and the time to enjoy it.
I do not rush through the days but try to live consciously. To be outside, even briefly rejuvenates me. The brisk air is refreshing. Nothing should come before God. He has taught me so much these past few years. How to truly see and how to listen.
How to be quiet within and still without so that even the hummingbirds come right up to me. I have learned that worry is a useless commodity and serves no purpose except to cause anxiety and sleeplessness. To have faith brings peace and to rely on God in all things brings abundance.
I no longer feel alone but instead acknowledge the presence of the Angels around me. The holy spirit within me and God everywhere. I've begun to feel that He looks forward to our conversations as much as me. For God too likes to be acknowledged.
I have no concern for tomorrows for I know they are in God's loving hands and He will guide me on the path leading me to where I need to be and doing the work that I should be doing to make a difference. He knows best where that should be and is providing the teachers I need to learn from.
Life is good indeed. All that I need is being provided for me from my loving Heavenly Father. He has opened up my eyes, my ears, and my heart. I feel as if I am a different person leading a new and more fulfilling life. I now know that life can be filled with joy and promise instead of have-tos and what-ifs that ruled my life before.
A whole new door has opened and let in the light that faith brings. My desire now is to serve God in whatever way possible. To use the gifts He has given me to bring word of God's love to others. To spread enlightenment and the joy of living that is possible when we turn to God.

last harvest
I'm astonished
at my laughter of myself
it's seasonal... Or must be
like the fruit harvest
my ripened fruits
like eggplants
hanging from my chest
the strawberry blush
of my cheeks
they call women tomatoes
also known as the love Apple
someone plucked my cherry
years ago
leaving a bare twig
where once the ripest
fruit lay...

Islands of age
My island shrinks
as I forget
all that came before
my mind playing tricks
all my tomorrows spent
and remembering is a chore

One of the crowd
I'm going to have
my favorite photo you
blown up into and 8 x 10
so I can hang it among
my collection
in my bathroom
and parade in the nude
in front of all of you
how do you feel
being one of the crowd?

Listen, God Speaks
Let me be aware of your voice, Oh Lord. Let me take time to be silent and to listen. When God speaks He gives us only truths. When God guides us, He guides us on a path to greater purpose and service. He will provide for all our needs along the way. Have no fear for God is here.
God wants us to succeed so that we may be an example of His love. So that others may know that faith will enrich our lives and the lives of others we touch along the way. God provides the teachers and the means. He opens the doors for us to new destinys.
He lights the way for us so that we need not stumble along in darkness. He sets the table before us and provides the nourishment we need to keep going. God is in the sound of music and in the rustle of the wind. He speaks softly within as that small inner voice and at times shouts in the storm with roaring thunder if need be to get our attention.
When we don't know the answers all we need do is ask God. When we are uncertain He will show us the way. We can feel God's tears in every raindrop and the warmth of His love on a sunny day. He shows us the glory and His power in the rainbow, the sunsets, in the waves that crash against the rocks, in the majestic trees reaching toward the heavens.
There is nothing God cannot do and there is nothing we cannot accomplish through Him. He directs us to have the faith of a mustard seed and all things will be possible. He causes the sun to rise each morning and to set each evening.
When we start our day with God He smoothes the way that all else will fall in place before us. When we are anxious, He calms us. When we are troubled, He enlightens us. When we are joyful God smiles down upon us. And when we believe and have faith He rejoices in us.
God dwells not only in the world but within our spirit. We only need go within and quiet ourselves to feel His presence. We only need listen to hear Him speak. We need follow His guidance to find our way.
