Children

Posted on by

These are little ones before they become “adult” and prone to judgment, prejudice, hate, narrow-mindedness–need I go on? You know, all the things they learn from the rest of us…

Instead of conforming them to our molds and “raising good kids,” wouldn’t it be better for all of us, and the world, if we conformed more to their unadulterated standards?

Children have a beauty
That’s within them; it is true.
Children have a beauty
And an innocence that’s pure.

Children love all people,
And they bring great joy and peace.
Children love all people,
And they teach us many things.

Children are quite special,
And they fill our hearts with love.
Children are quite special,
And we thank the Lord above.

I love little children,
For they’re gentle, good, and kind.
I love little children;
They delight my heart and mind.

—
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them, and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
–Matthew 18:1-4

Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.” He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
–Matthew 19:13-15

Butterfly

Posted on by

A lesson from a well-known symbol of transformation–the butterfly. Change happens in animals, seasons, and each of us; may we flow with it, embracing the natural desire to expand!

Passionate, determined
Building her cocoon
The caterpillar works.

Resting, changing
Deep within
Transformation begins.

Persistent, at work
Giving up is no option
Moving onward, ever upward…

Soft and fluttering
Fragile in the wind
The new butterfly tries.

Gently opening
Spreading to the sky
Her wings lift…

She soars
A Spirit renewed
Unfolding, evolving…

She is divine
And she knows it, lives it
With all her being.

Tiny, powerful, beautiful
Well-created, well-loved
Just like you, just like me!

Self-love: Can it Last?

Posted on by

If Real and if True
And shining within,
Then Love for yourself
Is blessing and bliss!

If on the outside
For all that you do
And how you appear,
That love isn’t True.

If all that you see
Is what’s in your mind;
If, seeking self-love,
That’s all you can find,

Then seek in the space,
The Voice True and small,
Transcending your thoughts,
Beyond, to the All.

The Love from the One,
The Source of all Life,
This infinite flow
Is your Divine right!

This Love for yourself
And All that You are
Is safe and secure,
Eternal, by far.

It’s Real and it’s True
And shining within;
This Love for your Self
Is blessing and bliss!

The Key

Posted on by

Because the essence of Music, Love, and God is The One.

In any key of music
the first note of the scale
is 1.

In any key of music
the last note of the scale
is 1.

A perfect octave
is the distance
from 1 to the next 1.

Same pitch, same name
just higher or lower
and still the 1.

That’s why it’s called perfect
the 1 is the beginning
and the end.

In any key of music
the real key is
oneness.

The true key is
wholeness
completeness.

The 1 returns to itself
alpha and omega
beginning and end.

In any key of music
the 1
is first and last,

root and octave,
1 and 8,
in the image of God.

And the key
is oneness
in his Presence.

Deliverance

Posted on by

Deliverance came all wrapped up
Nice and neat
With a big red bow on top.

Love came all warm and cozy
Clear and bright
Like a blanket and a prism all at once.

Peace came like a tidal wave
Knocking over all strife and struggle
Replacing it with calm ripples.

If you believe this
You’re more delusional
Than even the clinically insane!

It doesn’t work like that
But how we wish it did!
The Knight in shining armor, the Prince, the POOF! And all is well!

No, but there is a way
A way of peace
A way of Light.

The way of Life
Is going deliberately, persistently, consciously
Through it all.

The path of Light
Is the journey through darkness
To our own center, which is Life’s core.

The Truth of Life
Is Choice
Awareness, of, and radiating from the Spirit within.

Choose from that Spirit
Not from the intellect, the fear, the reasoning
Let that Spirit guide these “children.”

And be your Self, a blessing, blessed
Be your Truth, a Light, enlightened
Be your fulfillment, a Love, beloved!

Be it right here, right now
For now is the hour of deliverance
And You are your Deliverer!

Not by your own power and might,
But by God who lives and reigns within you
Always!

The Gift of Self

Posted on by

I give You these hands
You’ve given to me
To pass on Your Spirit
And help them be free

I give You this heart
That beats loud and strong
To sing for Your glory
And teach them the song

I give You this soul
You made for my own
To guide and fulfill
The purpose You’ve shown

I give You the Love
You’ve planted in me
To flourish and grow
To shine so they see

I give You the praise
Creator of all
In faith I say yes
And answer Your call.

But all that I give
Is already Thine!
And now may I be
A branch of Your vine!
Amen!

Let There be Light!

Nothing from nothing is nothing
Creations create in the space
Destruction transforms in the darkness
And Light is the Truth in its place.

Spirit is God breeding passion.
Faith in the Truth does the works.
Love creates wealth that is lasting.
And the soul is a child God birthed.

God is Intelligent thinking.
Hope is Self-knowing at night.
Order’s the Force that is linking.
And the soul is made whole by the Light.

Nothing from nothing is nothing
Creations create in the space
Destruction transforms in the darkness
And Light is the Truth in its place.

The Cost of Happiness

Posted on by

Pay the bills, feel incomplete,
And buy more things in your defeat…

Overdraw and feel depressed.
Then look outside for confidence…

Get more money if you can,
And somehow do it all again…

For that’s the way of this old world,
Where happiness is bought and sold…

But Happiness is deep inside
Like nothing you can get or buy…

We know this, yet we all still try,
‘Cause maybe it could work this time!

But when it fails, remember this:
You hold the key to Happiness!

It’s not out there as a reward,
But born in you, a child of God!

Mind-questions

Posted on by

Where am I going?
Where have I been?
What is outside me?
And what is within?

All of this flowing,
Growing and change
Moves me toward something,
But also feels strange.

I stop and examine
Life to this spot,
Seeing the moments
That come to a lot.

Places behind me,
Memories past,
People from back then;
I let go at last!

Giving up nothing,
Embracing the now,
The Spirit within me
Is showing me how.

How will I make it?
Where will I go?
What is my purpose?
I thank God, He knows!

Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Questions outside me,
And God is within!

Behold, the Star!

Posted on by

Shining bright,
A point of Light
That shimmers through the darkness deep
Guides the way
To perfect Day –
To dawn from slumber, wake from sleep!

And by far
The bless’d Star
That pierces through the gloom so dim
Fills the Soul
To know it’s whole,
Because the Christ is born within!

Radiate
Through every state
Of mind that comes to human thought;
May the Light
Remain in sight,
Reminding us what God has brought!

The Gift of Love,
Not just above,
But here for every precious Child;
Given birth
Through us on Earth
To spread the heav’nly Light that smiles.

A star so bright,
A holy night,
A song for e’er and ever sung!
For in our hearts
We’re all a part
Of God who lives within His own!

Shining bright,
A point of Light
That shimmers through the darkness deep
Guides the way
To perfect Day –
To dawn from slumber, wake from sleep!
