Better Days

One has seen better days

Yet still smiling ‘cuz

Many more are to come

In hours of fallow haze,

Releasing what one was

As the work has just begun

Mingling among inner ways

As a loner often does

Seeking what he will become

Snapshots caught within a daze

Simply flicker, as it was,

For the days are not done

Hearts now lit ablaze

As is what Spirit does

For the All is in One

One will see better days

And continue smiling ‘cuz

All return to which he’s from

The Gem Within

It is easy to get caught up in human dogma. One such is the meaning of words/terms. The translation or interpretation can entirely change the meaning of an idea. Words carry power as humans attach intention behind the selection. If one listens to this usage through his heart center, it is seen without emotion. One may analyze the content in his head but must weigh it in his heart for clarity. Humans often misconstrue meanings because they allow their emotions to lead the way. When one analyzes why he feels a certain way, he allows himself to see past emotion and to its intent or purpose. Therefore, he gets to the root of the situation. By exploring emotions, one enables himself to remove old patterns, belief systems, and things no longer needed. He frees himself to move on. Inner exploration is crucial to inner growth/maturity/wisdom. Outside sources might encourage inner exploration, but these sources, in and of their own, will not do the work. One must do this work on his own. Within is where one’s treasure is buried. For the jewel hidden within is his Divine Essence. This is the treasure one must seek. This is truth. This is love. This is you.
