Feb. 16 - The Brain - Transformation

BRAIN

‘How do I know which side of the brain I am using?’

Listen to your right brain for it always tells the truth.

How do I know it’s my right brain for I haven’t any proof?

Your right brain is a feeler, it leads directly to the heart.

An idealistic lover, seemingly not so smart.

To trust this part inside you and allow yourself the truth,

often feels much harder as you journey from your youth.

But then you get much older and feel your old friend has returned.

You’ll find your right brain’s been there all along,

you had just stopped listening to its song

The space between the young and old need not be as I have recounted

Still your mind and listen and let your feelings be your guide.

Your spirit will be exulted by having both brains on your side.

A caterpillar scurried along a sleek tree branch. She had eaten leaves along this same branch many times. The connection between this caterpillar’s little feet and the bark upon the branch was strong. An energy passing between confirmed this familiarity. Neither the branch nor the tree which, the branch was connected to, felt hardship of any kind at having their leaves nibbled upon by their caterpillar friend.

Freedom was shared and felt between them all because the trust was strong. Nothing would be used that wasn’t needed. Only the necessities would be devoured and devoured they had been, those leaves upon the tree. Some so much so, that they could not remain and released their hold upon the tree allowing their skeletal remains to float away. It was a selfless act but easily done with no expectation of anything in return. Appreciation and joy was in the offering. So joyous was the caterpillar for such abundance that need and want never crossed her mind, never wanting, all was provided.

But on this day as our caterpillar friend scurried on her way with no thought of leaves nor branch nor tree crossing her determined mind. For something from a higher power called, ascending was by design. Twisting, turning, working hard on an objective not too clear but knowing that the call was heard, her mindless actions followed. Allow and trust - she had no doubt and hid herself away in the dark and when she woke she found herself the same in a different way. A simple creature yet so complex the transformation of life, when she woke she had wings to spread.

Her beauty was astounding, once dried by the wind she graced the tree and danced around its branchy countenance. In joy the celebration was emanated world wide, for this little friend of ours had ascended and with trust she flew along her way, wordlessly appreciating the tree forever.

Our transformation can be as simple. Let go and feel the joy, follow your truth and trust that all will be provided. The tree gives with no expectation, no thought of not but giving. Spirit does the same and compounds this with love so, allow and accept this gift. Nothing more is needed than to listen for the call. With compassion strong and your soul alight, feel your wings for ascension is assured.

Feb. 4 - Mother Earth - 3 Things - Simple - Not Separate

The earth – she holds so many lessons. Anything you want to learn about life, living and even humankind can be found in the wisdom of Mother Earth.

Teachings of growth, growth in all kinds of circumstances. Look at the desert, the rainforest: two extremes, life grows in all areas and in-between. Gaia always finds a way.

Resilience

Strength

and adaptation prevails and you can too.

With vibrant color, intense patterns and beautiful textures

the focused study of nature brings an exotic bounty of conditions.

Observation of the largest to the smallest aspects, the biodiversity, the microcosmic, and the bioclimatic astounds and amazes.

Yet within the human body all this is also manifesting for we are organic. We are an intrical part of Mother Earth. We are her children. 

Filled with lessons and wisdom she stands ready to guide, teach and assist.

The more knowledge we acquire the more we will be able to help and protect our Mother in return.

Although, believe me when I say she would be fine without us.

So what if you don’t want to know?

So what if you don’t want to grow?

I give this information just because

It doesn’t matter what it does

Someone may find it some others may not

You’ll soon remember it’s what you forgot

The spark is lit it’s here to find

Not all out there are walking blind

Grab a little bit of truth and stick it in your head

You’ll be surprised at just how much you’ll feel you have been fed

*

Simple --- Simplicity

That is the essence of my message

Let go of the drama

Allow the JOY!

Trust in the ease,

you may get less attention but you will feel more joy!!

Love yourself for with that you love all others.

In sincerity your love for self is love for others and love for God

We are all together as one.

 *

No need to hide within a hole. A spiritual being you are even within this earthly home. Rejoice and celebrate your humanness! Ground yourself in Mother Earth and allow commingling with your brothers and sisters.

Imbibe in the essence created by man inherent in this worldly journey and mix with that a strong dose of spiritual trust, balance and growth to create magic, mystery and enchantment.

Be of the world and in it.

Be in this world while allowing your spirit to sore!!

Be God incarnate.

 *

God is not separate – away from us

God is in, without and around.

There can be no separation

The spirit is steady and burns strong

Look in your eyes and see the glow

Look also in another’s eyes the glow is there as well.

A spark exists in everything.

There’s magic in all that dwells on Mother Earth

 *

Love yourself!

Be proud.

It matters not what others think if you think little of yourself.

Rejoice in ‘you’. Don’t judge. 

All these feelings of love and compassion, of appreciation you long to give another give to yourself!

Jan. 31 - Just One - Sweet Life

The world is made up of many beings but all create just one

Just one love

Just one peace

Just one creating all the time.

As we co-create this world we gravitate to each other.

Finding pockets of community strengths that make up a web of Shambala.

Open up and let others in.

Many will come in love

and in peace you’ll feel the strength of each other

and know the earth as one.

Just one is all and all is many.

The web becomes much stronger,

with a joyful exchange of the energy we share,

it just doesn’t get any better!!

 *

Around and around the mystery grows

while in the center the answer knows

It’s all right here within your view

open your heart and let love through

 *

Sweet is the life lived in joy

Compassion can lift a heavy heart

When feelings of anger, despair and frustration call you off your path,

slow down your beating heart and breath

Remember that we are all one

Remember that people do their best

Remember that you have made mistakes

Remember to feel compassion

Compassion for self relaxes your need to judge

Compassion for others comes from lack of judgment

Joy will be yours. Find your joy in compassion. 

*

Jan. 30 - Wings - Simplicity - Drama

Soar upon the wings attached

to your very soul.

For you can’t help but fuel

the embers in the coal.

Within your heart a burning desire

your path is lit as if by fire.

And lightly blowing

around the space,

the joy you feel

can be seen on your face.

The warmth within spreads out and around you

as the energy becomes all that is you.

From human body to God with wings,

the earth, the heavens and the mind all sings.

*

“So what do you think, can we make this work?”

This life of ours is truly simple. Yet somehow we feel more importance comes from complications.

How can meaning come from simplicity?

I tell you this: Find comfort in the simple joys, find pleasure in the peace and know beauty in the ease.

For struggle need not be the wave that carries us home.

Joy and compassion will rise us to the crest and carry us to a place of peace.

Give this same grace of compassion to all living things, for with compassion comes understanding and with understanding comes ease …

Ease into a new way of being, of growing and glowing with the spirit of God.

 *

Lets have a party

lets skip and jump

No matter our age

get out of the slump

Whoop and holler

and sing along

Find time to let go, find time to play

or old and decrepit, you’ll just decay

Sing songs of joy

of love and laughter

And we will all live

happily ever after.

“But someone has hurt me? They made me feel bad. I had my whole life planned.”

Yes, it had ‘them’ in it and they were a big part.

They had wrapped themselves around your heart.

So, what do you do now?

How do you feel compassion?

Let go, allow them to leave, to exit your heart.

Life’s all about growing and they served you well.

With compassion realize this for yourself and for others.

In truth you no longer want them to be responsible for your happiness.

In truth only you want that responsibility evermore.

Never again will you give yourself away to such an extent that another is in charge of your joy.

They may aid and inspire but never control.

It is YOU! Empower yourself to allow and be responsible for your own joy.

Had it not been for ‘them’ this you would not know.

Now without ‘them’ you can truly grow.

Say goodbye and thank you … You have served me well.

 A request from self: Let go of the drama

I make it sound so easy, I make it sound a breeze

And let me tell you it can be

both of these.

For life is a mystery, and we are in charge.

So call on the spirits that wander at large.

You are not alone,

spirit surrounds every being

and if you’d open up your eyes it would be you that you are seeing.

You are the master. You run your life

Trust in your wisdom and let go of strife.

I made it sound easy, I made it sound a breeze.

Stand in your power and live your life PLEASE!

Jan. 29 - Rejoice - Mastery

Open up and allow the human experience

Observe and engage in the game of life 

Be joyous that you have been made aware and know more

Can you see the joy of humankind? We have all been there.

Celebrate our humanity. The basic thread of achieving basic needs.

Glorious it has been to grow as we have created ourselves into more

and more of all that we are.

Joyous is the human who sees himself in all other beings.

Love all parts of human consciousness

For it is a scale of musical bravado unlike anything ever heard.

There is a song and it is ascending

Rejoice and breathe it in for it is your birthright!

 *

You are a Master

Feel it, sweet surrender

Be at peace with all you are

Allow others to withdraw and new beings to gather for you are no longer bound to old patterns

Be your Master self and take along who ever will come

but, don’t allow any to hold you still and never wait for others to catch up!

There is no waiting in Mastery

Be you ---- Be YOU ----- BE YOU

Relax and release all those who are unable to keep up

for it is not your place to coddle.

Stand as an example and let others be.

There is no judgment in this

It just is …
