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
We live in a world of variety. Each person is gifted with an individual expression comprised of his/her own values of truth, love, and freedom. This authenticity of one’s soul/spirit guides one along the path of it’s Divine Purpose. This essence is creative in nature whether one is making art or living life. I have found the things I enjoy currently in my life are the things which brought me joy as a child: nature, sewing, collecting rocks, making things from found objects, and writing. Throughout the years this list has greatly enlarged. I feel a connection with Spirit when I engage in creative activities. It is important to nourish oneself; heart mind, body, and soul/spirit. When one honors the Sacred Self, one honors the Divine in all. I find that whether I am sitting in meditation, journaling, taking photos, painting a picture, or communing with nature I am connecting with the Sacred. What activities in your life feel Sacred? Do you view creativity as a Sacred Act? Do consider gratitude and kindness as nourishing to your Soul? How do you honor your Sacred Self?
*Channeled Message “One need not separate from his or her tribe to be independant. One need only be his/her authentic self. For love respects our differences as well as our similaritities. Pour your essence into every relationship. You need not be who others want or expect you to be. Be who you are in the service of love. Be YOU. This IS your job, to claim that which speaks within you and express it through your body, through words, actions, movement, art-however it wishes to speak through you; from Spirit to matter. Fear not who you are as this is your Spirit grounding/merging with Earth. This is your purpose. It need not be your vocation, yet its individual style will work its way into your every day. For this is what is called the way. The ‘way’ is not a group activity. It is a personal quest, your way to Source. It is your Sacred connection. This is WHO you are! Your indiviuality, your authenticity…this is Your truth, Your power. For it is in the service of Higher Love we find our true selves. It is the very Sacredness of you that rises from deep within, grasping for the light. For it IS the Light, rising forth to merge and shine brightly!”
“The deeper one digs the more lost one might feel yet the closer he gets to finding what has been lost. Much is buried beneath many layers-truth and treasure. Your truth is your treasure. It is the route to both freedom and abundance. Self exploration leads to connections; to the past, to others, but more importantly to Spirit and self. Your truth within manifests into abundance around you. A time of fallow precedes a time of fruit. Each period is of importance. It is good to remember what one does for self he does for others. That reverberation reaches and extends and continues. The echo from the mountain is heard across the valley and so on. Lift your voice to sing and your foot to dance. It will always reach another of the same beat/resonance. Together healing occurs. No one does it all or alone. The saying ‘takes a village to raise a child’ goes the same for saving humanity/the world. Every being plays a part that fits into others until all hands are joined. Each is a link in the chain/circle. We are here to connect, to commune, to recognize the tribe who helps us find our way, what makes us feel complete. This can be strictly in relationship or can be work, creative endeavors, joy, or adventure inspired, whatever makes one ‘tick’. It is in the ‘coming alive’ where one finds self-connection to Spirit-a sense of purpose. To live with purpose is to live with intention. That essence is known to small children but is often lost through outside influence. When one regains this essence and lives from this center this authenticity, this truth, leads him with his purpose, his desire of experience. This places his mark on the world, whatever it is and in whatever form it takes-for that is his purpose-to find it and use it. For it will lead him home. And that is the beauty of the quest.
In the beginning there was love. The act of creation was an act of love, so this very essence of love was expressed in every creation as was its foundation. The same applies now for all that is created from the heart. That which is created from ego is not of lasting value and will eventually crumble, wither away. The breath of life is a creation of love, thus why it is eternal. Man argues it is mortal. They fail to acknowledge the circle of life which is such as physical incarnations. Those of awareness know this and connect the breath as that of Source, knowing it to be eternal in the heavens and sent to earth in various expressions to experience knowledge in many ways and forms. The connection of man in his physical embodiment to that of his spiritual nature is his sole purpose. Though he plays many roles and has many jobs and talents throughout his incarnations, his purpose remains the same. It is through the accumulation of these experiences he gains the wisdom of his true essence. Genius. Mastery. Attunement. Awareness. Ascension. Transformation. Completion. The word which is used for that of a human uniting with his spirit is of no matter. Remember who you are. Use your gifts. Be the shining sun you are. The path is lit before you. Your own heart is shining the way. Use your light to ignite the flame in others. Help them find the way out of the darkness as you have. They will use their flame as you did to search within. May your love and peace spill upon others and encourage their pursuit.
As one delves into the dance, he must keep his step. The secret is the body must listen to the music and respond accordingly. He must sync his energy with his partner. If the particular dance is a waltz, it will be smooth and fluid. It’s ok for one to study the steps, so to speak, but he must continue to hear the music to stay in tune. Every relationship involves entaglement. Every action and reaction is entanglement. The dance is entanglement. Entangelment is energy. And energy is life. The soul and essence are interwoven like purpose and mission. Your essence is your purpose or being. The soul is your mission, the vehicle to carry out these means. Whoever/whatever touches your life is part of this entanglement. What type of dance does your life resemble? Are you in step with the tune?
Art is a necessary expression of both life and love. It is the exploration of one or many mediums on a personal level which affects multitudes of layers – a unique expression of the whole. And yet, that expression/essence is ever evolving. Change is inevitable, a necessity for growth. Simply put, art is the process of which one takes what is within and projects it to the outside world. Art, in whatever form, is a release for human emotion, a creative journal of sorts. Art can be a means for a voice otherwise hidden. It is a healing endeavor for the creator of such works, be it a poem, painting, book, photograph, sculpture, musical piece, and so on. It is Spirit/energy traveling from heart to hands. Creativity is the right of the human. We are each a creator, envisioning our world. Art is a sacred surrender to the creative urges of one’s soul.
