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 Way of the Heart

“When a door closes, there is always another one to open. Be willing to step inside and see the possibilities before you. There will be doors within doors and the choice will be yours to open, close, or embark upon what is offered. There are no rights or wrongs, only opportunities of exploration, experience, expansion. Your heart will know your way. Let go of fear, of doubt. Bask in the wonder the Universe offers. There seems to be a darkness with endings but yet it is simply a germination of new beginnings. The cycle continue whether or not one is aware or understands. As the seeds flower be patient for the bearing of fruit, for it occurs in many ways and not necessarily in the way one expects. Divine Purpose runs deep, and as it rises to the surface it may be more complex or even quite simplistic than one’s sensations led him to believe. You only need to believe, to know with your entire being, every cell of your physical body, that your Spirit knows, guides, and delivers you to your destiny. Whatever path it leads you is the right one, whether or not it is what you imagined. Even though one connects with the Sacred as he brings Spirit into his physicality it is still somewhat conditioned by the perception of its physical nature. Though Spirit is not confined it still works within the limitations of its vessel. Remain open to what you receive as much beauty and love are currently within you and await you, for you to receive and share. See the beauty of love in that which has passed, what is now, and what will come to be. To feel and share the love in every moment; this is existence, this love, This is beauty. This is truth. This is where true power can be felt-what you take from your heart and find your special way to place it in the world around you. Know others are hurting though they may express it differently. Allow them that space. But know their pain, their expression, is not yours to bear. Speak your truth. Stand your ground. But do so with love in your heart. That does not mean to allow yourself to be trampled upon. The freedom to walk away is yours, but do it in love for yourself not in contempt of another. Allow them their truth as you have yours, even if they do not honor yours. Remain in your heart, true to yourself. The dust will settle, but do not settle for anything less than your own truth which is your love, your way. When you honor the Divine as it shines through you, you honor all others-this is living your truth, your Divine existence.”

The Humanity of Family

”All things come full circle. Pain that was caused/endured is healed in another incarnation. This is the way, the wisdom of experience. In physicality a person learns lessons in a lifetime, but these are also ancestral lessons as well – the essence may inflict, cause, or be affected by that of which his soul returns to heal, to close a cycle of a particular familiar trauma or hardship in order to advance/expand the experience/wisdom of a soul family. The many positions of a family unit gives perspective of that trauma/hardship. While it can be particularly difficult on a human level it is enlightening on a spiritual level of learning and on the advancement/expansion of humanity. The pain felt physically is not that on a spiritual level for it is merely a school of learning. Values of compassion, empathy, nonjudgment, connection, and stewardship, among others are learned. It is important to remember physicality is fleeting while spirituality is that in which one returns for it is only a portion of which is embodied. The human implications are not the same as the spiritual realm. The human mind is quite inquisitive, but the emotional body gives the experience a distinct viewpoint from another with like experience. It takes much reflection and inner work for a person to override emotion and view and experience from many angles to understand the motives of both motion and emotion. Humanity within society is complex. While there can be tremendous difficulty, there is also opportunity of great beauty in connection, shared moments of love, experience, and validation. One often learns the joy is found in the most simplistic of ways, those of which does not involve materialism, the acquisition of things, but in just being and sharing the experience of living.” 

Perception of Truth

The chaos and not knowing, though frustrating, is a normal function as the human mind is limited and only has perceptions of the spiritual mysteries – this is where one’s “truth” is established. It is simply that person’s point of view or understanding, what they need to know at the time to benefit their current stage of unfolding or awareness. There are no wrongs or rights in what one perceives as it is the lesson of that soul’s spiritual development. It is not to be judged, downplayed, or praised – only to be accepted with neutrality. One may resonate with another’s truth; perhaps they accept it as their own or take bits of it until another layer is added or shed in their expansion. Again, no right or wrong, simply different as it is dependent upon the individual.

Sharing A Message

I haven’t posted lately, but I received a message from one of my guides and feel it worthy to share as it can apply to anyone. I hope you find it as uplifting as I do. Perhaps this is a nudge for me to share these messages and my own words more often.

“Do not be afraid of who you are. Embrace your power. Freedom is the acceptance of your gifts. You have unexplored gifts. Have the courage to tap into them. Many of which you’ve touched the surface but go much deeper. The discovery of a gift is NOT the gift. The blessing is its potential of goodness – how it may heal, expand, elevate not only self but others. It is the touch of sacred, the beauty and grace of its wisdom. It is the acceptance of “knowing” and allowing it to work in your life. Breath is a balance of passion, play, and pursuit – Live, explore, seek, and enjoy!”

In the Raw

 Releasing what needs to be let go is like cleaning up the encampment, shooing out what needs to go which doesn’t benefit The All. Every bit of your being stretched across the fence line. Face to the sun, back against the wind. It is in this fight one realizes home is not where he is looking but what he is within. And that is what one is to use to build his nest. The Tree is his support but not his being because he IS. He simply IS. You live in the shakedown, breathing in existence because you ARE that love which creates the now. From the beginning we are the end, for the end is the beginning. And yet we evolve along this spiral. Being is the expansion of all that IS. The agreement of Honoring self and Honoring others is the unification of what can Be.
