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. 26 - Banter - Peace

 

Banter from a busy mind

“Smart is the one who can sit in stillness”

Busy mind: When I try to sit in stillness my mind knowing of my intent begins a procession of thoughts that can not be contained

“Clever is the one who can still his mind”

Busy mind: When the procession begins I try to focus my intent and call for stillness in my mind but my mind doesn’t seem to listen.

“At peace is the one who allows his process”

Comfort from the breathing mind

The average human breathes 20 times a minute. Breathing in oxygen in exchange for waste (carbon dioxide).

To breathe in air and feel the life it brings to you is more magical then you know. Breathing in brings not only life but the empowerment of all those who have exhaled before. The spirit of each human soul upon this planet has taken in the air. Then it has been sent back out and exchanged/cleaned by nature (Mother Earth, Gaia), but it never leaves the earth. This air circulates around that world – Do you see it is something thing we all share.

In breathing out we expel all that would be unnecessary, releasing what’s not needed. This happens naturally, your body sloughs off the useless air that does not harmonize and detoxifies.

Breathe in and take all that you need.

Breathe out what’s left behind.

Find calm comfort, listen to your breath. It is ancient air that surrounds the earth filled with everything you would ever want to know. Fill your lungs with life, wisdom and knowing and exhale what doesn’t matter.

Your busy mind loves to play this game, it will feel empowered as you breathe.

• Health in
• Ill out

• Wisdom in
• Dullness out

• Love in
• Hate out

• Abundance in
• Lack out

• Strength in
• Weakness out

Everything is on offer in the air you breathe!

There are so many ways for busy mind to breath. You will love this diversion and it can be played any time day or night.

How many hours of a human life has it been reported that you are waiting?  And what do you do to still your mind during the times that you are resting? Relax into your breathing and take these chances for conscious breath and you will feel peace in your busy mind.

Opportunity lies in your breath; it’s something you can’t do without so you might as well direct it!

 PEACE

To feel at peace is to experience the grandeur of life.

But what can bring about such peace?

COMPASSION is the key for with it comes:

Understanding – You can place yourself in another’s shoes and know what they are feeling. This may not be you but it might have been, everyone has their reasons.

Trust – Knowing there is a divine plan and within each soul divinity is planted. Everyone does what they do because they think it’s right for them. We all want to feel good but have different ways to get there.

Hope – The knowledge that all can be whole and well, to feel life without pain, to know freedom in mind, body and spirit.

And most of all LOVE -- When you share the rest, when you understand, trust and have hope your compassion is filled with love.

True love = compassion

Once you know compassion you KNOW the grandeur of all we are and can see a spark in every soul.

This is peace!

 *

So not everything will be a rhyme

not everything not every time.

My wisdom can be in prose or not

for I am filled with quite a lot.

My knowledge expands beyond with my mirth

and they will praise your very birth.

A little ditty here and there

it helps to lighten up the air.

But don’t you worry little one

my story tellin’s just begun

Relax your mind and let it out

you’re the vehicle through which I spout.

Jan. 19, 2012

Once upon a time, there was no time.

The feeling, the space, the energy was one. A little girl walked out upon a field and raised her hands up to the sky, “I am all of this” she said knowing the truth of it, and with that she became a master!

For we all are masters of our own reality yet to be claimed.

It is simple from the perspective of a child yet complex from space of ADULT.

Even in your adult state lies the seed of the child. You feel it, remember it.

The vulnerable place of trust and belief in your guidance.

1.    A simple exercise is to grab a crayon (pencil, pen or marker of any color) and scribble. Allow and feel the perfection of innocence.

2.     Spin yourself in circles - round and round. A silly, stupid thing that brings JOY! Float in your mastery upon the clouds of divine inspiration. Allow yourself to be anything.

3.      Clap your hands to the beat of your heart, clap, skip and jump to the rhythm. Feel the JOY! Move your body.

 

To play is to be alive. Reinvent the child within. Know the master. Remember your name!

 *

Forever we feel the call to source poking, needling – “something’s here, something’s here”

Stop and listen for a story is being told. A story of a time when dreams were free and enchantment ran amuck! ‘Pick me’ the story line called. We were young and the road ran in myriad directions.

Why did we think we had to choose for changing never changes and can always be done.

Don’t hold on to stiff ridged standards. Allow yourself to be – allow yourself to change, to grow and become.

The world awaits, for you are the painter of this masterpiece which is your life! 

 *

Awaken you little tiny seed 

felt both in mind and heart. 

For you are not just a seedling 

but a great gigantic start.

An epic voyage – a journey 

to thoughts seemingly far away.

To lands that lie inside my mind 

And become my me today!

*

 

A rich and noble man once said

‘I am greatness because of my deeds’

A poor and humble man once said

‘I am joyful because of my deeds’

And so they were.

Who is the judge but yourself and who cares for the noble or humble, but he who is in that space and judges it against another.

You are the judge. It is you that must find completion in yourself. Beyond compare for the thoughts of both the ‘rich and noble’ and the ‘poor and humble’ have no bearing on the worth of you.

It is as you believe.

So why not believe in your greatness, believe in your joy!

For you are all that! And great, joyful deeds will follow!

*

Around the corner lies a mystery

In a box, taped up under a table.

You look and ponder ….. ‘is it worth it?’

How can you know for it is a mystery.

Desire drives the mind to seek

Mystery drives the mind to wonder

But what is it that drives the mind to action?

KNOWING!

Knowing that something will be found!
