Economy

Posted on by

Be careful
Invest wisely
Don’t invest at all
Play the lottery
Or don’t
Because no matter what

It’s bad, it’s doomed
The final word is gloom!

Worry
Pay your debts
Or create more
Get another job
Or don’t, after all, there are none left
Because no matter what

It’s bad, it’s doomed
The final word is gloom!

They say it’s flat
I say it’s round
They say it’s recession
I call it opportunity
They analyze what could help us
I turn within
Because no matter what

The bad, the doom,
The final word of gloom?

It’s just THEIR word!
For I have heard
A still, small voice
That says, “Your choice!

The Truth within?
Or hopeless spin?
Expanding Life?
Or toil and strife?

The depths of peace?
Or desperate pleas?
You choose The One
Or think there’s none.

For I am here
To free and clear
The path that winds
Within your mind.

I give you Light
Thru day and night!
But you must take
And let it make
Reality
In what you see!

For Good is yours…
Eternally!

Presence Within

Instrument: Walnut Concert Flea Ukulele

Your Presence within each creation
Is the blessing.

In each manifestation,
You abide.

You take care of Your own,
Of Your own accord,
In Your own time,
By Your own means.

The limited mind cannot know Your ways.
But by Your Power,
We rise to Christ Mind!

Here we know
We are one
Creator-Creation,
Blessing-Blessed,
Love-Beloved,
In Essence “atonement,”
At-one-ment.

Oh that we can be aware of this oneness,
Live in it,
Act within it,
Speak from it,
Know because of it,
More of the time we are here on Your Earth!

For as one,
In You,
We live
And move
And have our very being!

Without You we are nothing.
But because of You,
We are beloved!

For this we give You thanks
And bless Your Presence within us!
And so it is!

Rhythm and Rhyme

Posted on by

Rhythm and rhyme are truly sublime.
But you do not know just what makes them so?

I tell you the truth: the heart that’s in you
Is beating all day to music God plays.

And every night God’s thoughts from the Light
Expand in your mind till gently in time…

You know the song and start singing along!
The music of love is yours to live from!

Your heart beats pure, and its rhythm is sure
By God’s design, his rhythm, and rhyme!

Rocks and Rivers

Posted on by

God is the Rock of the ages
The Beginning, the Middle and End
He is the book and the pages
The River that ripples and bends

Life is a series of trials
To see if we’re flowing or not
With every step, leap and mile
We either go forward or stop

God is the Presence within us
Not out there, so high we can’t see
God is the Source that will win us
The Life of a blossoming seed

If rivers don’t flow they go stagnant
If seeds don’t keep growing they rot
If we do not change we are ragged
And block all the Life that is ours

God is the Rock of the ages
Foundation of all that will last
The Peace that is ours and the sages’
Where Life happens now;
Not in future or past!

Welcome, Springtime!

Posted on by

Welcome, Springtime!
youthful splendor;
Sweet renewal
Flowing free.

Welcome, Springtime!
Stirring Lifeforce,
Singing, dancing
In and through me.

Welcome, Springtime!
Equal daytime
Sharing space with
Equal night.

Welcome, Springtime!
Balance weighing;
Harmonizing
Dark and Light.

Welcome, Springtime!
Bringing forward
Light that kindles
Deep within.

Welcome, Springtime!
Now in Christ we
Lift our hearts in
Resurrection!
–Amen!

3 Lucky Limericks

Posted on by

Whether this particular form of poetry is Irish or not, here are 3 that bring the often uncouth, naughty Limerick to another level. And why not? The rhythm and rhyme are irresistible, so we may as well use them for good!

There was a young girl named Mercedes
Who lived on the river Euphrates.
When she started to think
She created a stink,
And the clay of her mind became Hades!

There was once a young lady so “nice”
That she took everybody’s advice
Till the effort to please
Brought her soul to its knees
And she chose all its flavor and spice!

You are where you are and that’s that.
And wherever you go that’s a fact.
You are here by design
In this place at this time
So don’t wait! Just be great where you’re at!

And so it is!

I think a thought,
And so it is!
I may not see it now.
But at some time
The God of Mind
Will bring it back around.

So with each thought,
Which is a prayer,
I let God reign in me:
Thought manifests
To take or bless;
Which do I choose to see?

I think a thought
And may it be
From Higher Consciousness!
And when it’s mine
To have in time,
The good will manifest!
–And so it is!

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!
