Feelings of the day

In those special times

Have I not been like a blade of grass moving and bending gently in the breeze?
In those times when my ego was being bruised I still tried to please
Did I not try to make acceptance for my imperfections
Was I not happy to follow all your directions?
Did I not close my eyes and hold my tongue?
So as not to express any judgement when they were doing me wrong
Did I not try to look the other way with unseen tears in my eyes?
When truly it was only the Spirit that could hear my silent cries
As others laughed and ignored my shadow on the wall
In those times did I not try to walk with my head high and tall?
Did I not try to ignore the whispering of my name a thousand fold?
How alone I felt as if I were standing outside in the cold
Weaving your web to hold me down
I smiled with a mask the frown of a clown
I hid myself beneath the cloak of the night so that you could not see
How I long to be loved and long to set myself free
In my realization, my error was to focus on them and their actions
When I should have been more aware of my own re-actions
I thank you all for the opportunity that you have given me
As I travel forward on the spiritual life journey.

Deep Within

Somewhere deep inside my heart, within a cloak of mist
A most amazing and wondrous old Friend resides and exists
I see Him standing beneath a crystal astral dome
Whispering softly to me to return to my heavenly home
The fragrant breeze moves as My Lord opens my door
Speechless in my silver silence as I enter the golden core
How beautiful He looks adorned with a flowering crown
Dressed in a silken white vibrant flowing gown
My Beloved the exuberant essence of Your Love is Divine
Your sparkling celestial eyes gaze intensely into mine
Let my enlighten soul emerge and rise higher
To live in Your Presence is my goal and my desire

Something Inside of me.

Stare at the the four black dots in the image for about 30 seconds, then close your eyes tilting your head very slightly back.

A Letter from Jesus. A beautiful letter ... thought provoking.


"Did you think that I didn't hear you when you cried out to Me in your time of need?
Truly, I did hear you. If I hear the final cry of every sparrow that falls in death, would I not hear you?

"Did you wonder if I was listening when you prayed to Me for an answer to the troubles that weighed you down? Indeed, I was listening. If I listen intently for the very heartbeat of every baby conceived in the womb, would I not listen when that child prays?

I listened, and I remember precisely the instant that your heart took it's first beat; the moment that you took your first gasping breath upon leaving the security of your mother's womb; the contented sigh of relief at your first belly full of warm milk. And, though you've grown up, I still listen for every word spoken in My direction.

"Do you think that I don't know when problems come into your life? I know everything there is to know about you! Even the very hairs of your head are numbered! I've watched you daily, from those first tentative steps and groping words to your very first love; and I was there, cheering you on, though you never knew it.

"Did you think that I was unconcerned because you didn't receive an instantaneous answer to your prayer? My dear child, I am more concerned for you than you will ever know. If I were not, would I have sent my son to earth in the flesh and allowed your kind to mock Him, spit on Him, beat Him, and nail Him up on a cross for all to see? He gave His life for You! He poured out His very life's blood in order t

Rescue Your World

Come Rescue Your World


I pay you homage with outstretched arms my Sweet Lord
No more struggling time to cut the illusionary cord
In awe and wonder of my being here, and your almightiness
Seeing the beauty of your gift, its immense fragility and uniqueness
To view the this world with crystal clear vision
In hope to see its true wondrous transition
Who are we, that destroys the beauty of your created Earth?
We travelled through all eternity to be here for our birth
The vision of the rising sun, the moon and the sparkling stars
A beautiful garden, an expression of You, the choice was ours
Who are we that allow unloved children to starve and roam?
Their tiny hands reaching out, searching for warmth of home
Helpless wandering little angels lost and kept out of sight
Churches, Mosques, and Synagogues do nothing to help their plight
Destroying forests, polluting the waters and the ever decreasing land
We are guilty of folly, the slow erosion of what God had planned
Let no one point the blaming finger in anger at your brother
For we are not separate from one another
Become awaken to nature, become alive, and see
To help us to make this a better world, full of love and for all to be free.

My Friend

My friend

I thought I would call on an old friend today

He resides a couple of blocks away

As I neared his place

I caught a glimpse of his face

I was filled with joy that he was still there after all this time

The old timer, looking wonderfully good, grand and fine

Standing majestical, strong and tall

I felt his spirit winter, spring, summer and fall

He stood on a carpet of leaves coloured rusts and golds

Within his soul the mystery of life it holds

The cycle of Trees

BREATHE IN ... BREATHE OUT

WE GIVE LIFE TO OUR TREES AND IN TURN THEY GIVE BACK

CHARACTERISTICS OF ADVANCING AGE IN MEN AND TREES

Trees that have a tendency toward intolerance get more intolerant as they grow older. For instance, the seedlings of the White Pine, which is not so intolerant as some of its relatives, will do very well for a few years in the shade of older trees, but after a while you see a difference. Their leaves, no longer that deep lustrous green which marks the healthy tree, turn pale yellow, and the buds begin to look small and discouraged. So, using the word "intolerance" now in the same sense it is applied to trees, we know that people as they get on in years are more sensitive to their surroundings, less able to put up with things, than they were in their younger days. "My growing love of easy shoes, My growing hate of crowds and noise, My growing fear of taking cold, All whisper, in the plainest voice, I'm growing old!" Yet, taking the meaning of "intolerance" as it is usually used when speaking of human beings, youth is often more intolerant than age, more sure that its opinions are absolutely right and all opposing opinions absolutely wrong; while those who keep their minds open and "incline the ear to instruction" grow more mellow, broad, and tolerant with the advancing years.

Free Will

FREE WILL






IS A GIFT






THAT ALLOWS US TO MAKE CHOICES




There are many beliefs about life, love, and will. Yet people get so confused ... confusion is the normal state of the human world. If God did not allow us this gift OF FREE WILL we would all be automatons, but, we are not. Free will allows us to make choices.

Thus, choose a worthy path ... and let all else flow from this.
And, what is the choice of path?
It is choice of Being
This is ultimately, what choice is really about.

Quotes

Jean Nidetch
It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny.

Zig Ziglar
Every choice you make has an end result.

Quote submitted by Ed Hillenbrand
It's not a matter of can or cannot, it's a matter of will or will not, everything is a choice, choose
wisely.

Leo Buscaglia
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.
