It's a kind of madness

Who else could I love
when I still
belong only to you
it's a kind of madness
love is somehow
an insanity of sorts
maybe I should
consult a psychiatrist
"Doctor I have this
.... ah, er.... problem
you see I'm in love"
and hours after
your phone call
my heart is still pounding
pulse racing,
I could dance
on the ceiling
more or less feeling
why?

treasured daze

I will treasure these days
and all the memories made
until I'm lost in a haze
and yesterdays quickly fade

as I await

To see the glory of the angels
holding court just above me
as I await my final resting place

only on paper

Somewhere in my mind
I keep a photograph of you
filed away
with the rest of yesterday's
memorabilia
you're not as real to me
today
as you used to be
I would hardly
believe in you at all
except the void you created
and the aching feeling
left in me
like an amputation
a scale out of balance
the pain has been here
much longer
than you ever were
it was another lifetime
a time of laughter
and youthfulness
leaving me exposed
as a raw wound
now I write you into
reality...
only on paper
will you live on.... for me?
It's best to let
old wounds heal themselves
get a tourniquet someone
I'm bleeding.... again

Abundance Unlimited

Joy is a state of mind not a result of any material possessions. First we must learn to ardently seek a closer relationship with God. Abundance is a result of acknowledging that God is not limited, that He can and will provide what we need in life.

God did not create us to be either poor in spirit or in life, but to seek Him first and then all good things will follow. If we believe that God will supply us with abundance it is so. If we doubt that it is so then He will know our doubts instead, for God gives to us according to our beliefs.

God truly wants us to have a spiritually abundant life and as the inner reflects in the exterior of our life it manifests material abundance as well. Life does not need to be a struggle, but it is if we make it so and we do according to our beliefs and our fears.

If we fear we cannot get ahead in our work, we will not succeed but if we do our work for the joy of creating in itself we cannot help but succeed. What is it we are trying truly to accomplish. Look to your interior motivation.

The material itself will not satisfy us but what is an accessory of the spiritual will bring us joy. When we learn to see the beauty in life itself and in each thing around us, living in total awareness, we realize we are abundantly blessed.

We become a part of the bird's song, the strength of the trees, the freedom of flight, the rustle of the wind, the butterfly, the leaf falling, the flower seeking sunlight, the vastness of the sky and the seas, the star millions of miles away.

We realize we are part of all things and that nothing is impossible. We are all one creation by one Higher Power, which is God. And as He cares for each insect, each tree, each bird and mustard seed, so too does He care for us. And as God supplies for the needs of all things so too does He fulfill our needs in abundance and love.

In God's Hands

I realize the change in myself. The lack of fear or worry I feel when life throws me challenges. God put them into my life when I needed them and He has arranged that they be lessons for me to learn from. Releasing my problems into God's hands has helped me to deal with them better than ever before.

Energy of thoughts

Each day is filled with blessings we only need to choose to recognize them, acknowledge them, and be grateful for them. For it is what we see, give importance to, and give thanks for that we bring into our life. Our thoughts themselves are an energy and act as a magnetic field drawing to us that which we think of.

If we think upon our reasons to be grateful we will draw to ourselves more reasons to be grateful. If we are thankful for our abundance, no matter how small, we bring into our life a manifestation of abundance in all things.

If we put an importance on friendship we will always have friends. Our thoughts become our reality. What we believe truly is what we receive. However if we are always thinking of our lack, bad luck, loneliness, we will continue to have those misfortunes brought into our lives for we are drawing them to us.

Our outlook on our lives makes a world of difference. It is a declaration to the universe of our expectations whether we know it or not. God only gives to us that which we ask for. We send the messages out and receive back an answer.

If we only believe in material things we may have our lives filled with them but we will not be happy. But if our outlook is toward a full rich life of blessings we may have both. To live in appreciation, consciousness, and gratitude is living fully and experiencing more because we become part of everything around us and alive to each moment.

Things cannot replace that, money cannot buy it, but how we think and live our life can bring them to us. I live in a constant state of thankfulness and I never want, my spirit is filled. I have wonderful friends and a loving family, but most of all my life is harmonious and I am happy and aware of all the blessings God puts in my life. Yes, I was blind, but now I see.
