Six Days

Posted on by

And on the 7th day God rested?
Really?
Does the Universe need a rest?
If I dared to have an opinion,
It is doubt.

I highly doubt
God needs a rest.
If God rests,
If the Universe rests,
Then vibration, creation, movement, evolution
Stop!
On the dime so to speak.

And knock on wood –
The Universe is still going!

So, in my very humble opinion,
God did not rest after 6 days.

He looked at all the creations,
Contemplated them,
Truly saw them, every one!
And He said:
I am there
And there
And in that thing
And over there
And here too
And everywhere!
And it is good!

Contemplation –
Knowing something,
Knowing yourself in something,
And knowing you know,
Deep and gentle,
Still and quiet,
Just knowing…

And so God knew Himself
To be in each creation
And knew one creation
To be His own likeness,
So it could contemplate itself
And God within itself.

That last creation,
That contemplative, creative creation
Is His Child of Light –
YOU!

Now,
Contemplate that!

This post from Purplerays inspired today’s
NaPoWriMo entry.
Thank you!

Challenge

Something to give
And good to receive.
Things to let go
And blessings to keep.
Challenge is change
But not what it seems.
Draw from the Spirit within.

Something to pick
And new life to grow.
Things to transform
And colors to show.
Challenge is work
Much more than we know.
Draw from the Spirit within.

Something to drop
And good to take up.
Things to pour out
To refill this cup.
Challenge is flowing
So don’t hold it up!
Draw from the Spirit within.

Somewhat like
Haiku,
a “lune” is a poetic form with 3 lines. This variant is 3-5-3 words, rather than syllables.

Unless you’re writing one, these are best read and used in meditation or contemplation, and not analyzed! 😮

From the daily prompt for
NaPoWriMo!

Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen!

Posted on by

Based on mystical meditation and Aquarian Gospel 150, Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11: The Triumphal Entry.

Some Christian denominations take a break from the word (and hymn if they use one) Hallelujah during Lent, and “resurrect” it at Easter. Metaphysics has no preference, as many Metaphysical ministers don’t even use the word. I, however, like the way “Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen!” sounds, so it’s included here.

Today is Palm Sunday, as well as Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere, and Full Moon is in 3 days! May we cooperate with the God-within, Source and Creator of all nature!

Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen! – Lyrics

Note: My usual recording device is on the fritz; I apologize for this poorer quality.

Instrument: Nell – Long Neck Soprano Ukulele
(Reentrant Bb tuning)

Refrain:
Hosanna! Son of David,
Lord of hosts, and king of kings!
He’s come to love;
Above all heav’n and earth we sing!

Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen!

1. Riding on a donkey,
But not sitting on a throne,
Jesus showed the world
How the kingdom can be won.
Refrain:

2. “Hosanna in the highest!”
In joyful voices raised.
With open hearts and minds,
The little children sang and praised.
Refrain:

Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen!

3. Humbly Jesus came to earth
To do the Father’s Will.
And humbly does the Christ unfold,
Our purpose to fulfill.
Refrain:

4. If we don’t sing His praises,
But choose to keep our peace.
The stones will start to cry out;
May His glory never cease!
Refrain:

Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen!
Hosanna! Hallelujah! Amen!

Good to Be Green

Instrument: Caera –
Mahogany Tenor Ukulele in 5ths Tuning

1. A famous frog once lamented,
“It’s not easy being green.”
It’s loud and bright and memorable,
A difference clear to see.
You cannot be invisible,
You glimmer with a sheen,
And it’s good, it’s so good to be green!
Refrain:

2. We don’t all have to look like
Other froggies on the scene.
We’re loud and bright and memorable,
A difference clear to see.
We cannot be invisible,
We glimmer with a sheen,
And it’s good, it’s so good to be green!
Refrain:

3. The Spirit is inside us,
And It guides us how to be.
It’s loud and It’s bright, and It’s memorable,
It’s a difference clear to see.
It cannot be invisible,
It glimmers with a sheen,
And it’s good, it’s so good to be green!
Refrain: (Twice)

Refrain:
Green! The color of vibrant life.
Ground what is old; let the new take flight.
Be who you are; don’t apologize.
‘Cause it’s good, it’s so good to be green!

Kick off Our Blankets

Posted on by

Instrument: Tempo – Seagull Excursion Folk Acoustic Guitar
(Capo 2)

1. The Winter’s had us all wrapped up in blankets, you know,
Swaddled from the snow and dark and cold.
We kick ’em off and celebrate the Springtime and flow,
Uncovering our Spirit bright and bold!
Refrain:

2. And all of those emotions we’ve been hiding? You know,
They’re covered up but cannot be denied.
They’ll tear a hole in every single layer and flow,
Until we let them see the Light inside!
Refrain:

3. The thoughts we think are habits long established, you know,
The blanket statements thrown across our mind.
It’s time to give the upper room a cleansing and flow
To thinking of the great, inspired kind!
Refrain: (Twice)

Refrain:
So, let us kick off our blankets;
We don’t need their shelter now!
The Light within emerges
As we let It show us how.
The Spirit is our Comforter,
As gentle as a cloud.
So, let’s kick off our blankets;
We don’t need their shelter now!

Have shone since ancient days
To wish, protect, and to direct

Reflect the depths of time
And help to show the lives that flow
Within Eternal Mind.

That travel through the sky
And shimmer long as we go on
The Spirit’s path of life.
Refrain:

O may we

Sparks of God’s wondrous Light,
And Love that wakes the inner Sight!
O [ending: We] shine, shine, o stars of night!

Dance, get up and dance!
Move your body joyfully and prance!

Harmony surrounding you.

Offer up your voice to speak.
Spread your hands and raise your power.

In yourself is all you seek.

1. On earth and sea and in the sky,
We live and move and breathe.
Yet taking from them as we do,
We separate the three.
The Tree of Life and all its limbs
Are rooted in the Deep
Creative Mind where all abides,
Including you and me.
Refrain:

2. The body, mind and spirit,
Your holistic sacred three,
Yet even as we care for them,
We look at specialties.
The body of the physical,
The mind’s activity,
The precious soul that’s yours alone
And makes your life complete.
Refrain:

3. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The Christian Trinity,
Yet who they are and what they do,
Not everyone agrees.
If we would look inside and trust,
Then we might plainly see
The greatness of the boundless Love
That brings it all to be.
Refrain:

O keep in mind the oneness link
Connecting every part.

Refrain:
We specialize and criticize,
Just knowing one small piece.
We label, compartmentalize,
And work to find relief.
But there’s a kink in what we think
And every box we mark.
We fast forget the oneness link
Connecting every part.
