Who will hold the light for us?

“Don’t you know yet? It’s your light that lights the world.”
― Jalaluddin Rumi

In the end who will hold the light
for us
and show us the way out?
Who will lead us from this darkness
end this loveless drought?

If it’s not you
it must be me,
let’s speak in words of unity!

Bring our voices back
into harmony
where no distance exists!
Let’s be a band
of joyful humans
celebrating the shift…

Let’s Live in dreams,
dreams
of another life,
drawn from the breath of song.
Raised by grace
with the earth’s vibration,
one with heaven’s throng…

And joy and peace will be the tempo
that brings us back to life,
formed in the image
of Her holiness,
a most glorious design!

Meeting Joshua…

We are on a road-trip to Cape Town to meet Joshua, our first Grandchild, I hope to post pictures and catch-up soon….

Be love…

Would you become a pilgrim on the road to love?
the first condition is that you make yourself as humble as dust and ashes….
― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

There are many opinions
they differ
do not let them divide you
that is what they want
so that they can rule you,
because you will fight each other
and they must come like parents
and separate you…

Be always united in love
that is the key to our survival on this planet…
Let your differences go
be one with the glory and the bounty
of everything
of nature
of the cosmos…

Did the bee say to the flower
your colors are all off
you are too spikey
your fragrance is lacking
no, he loved her anyway…

Share what you have with others
for your things are merely on loan to you
for the short time you have here…
And while you are here
let your light shine,
though mists may come up and startle you
and seek to separate you
keep shining
and you will spill through the mists
like a wondrous glow…

See light in every human
words must not separate you
for only God knows all things…
Do you know the truth of everything?
Have you got proof?
Each opinion matters in the scheme
of all things,
if our opinions are tempered by love
they become a medley of conversations
a coming together to understand better
to solve the suffering in this world…

Who knows for sure what is right?
we have been deceived for so long by the powers that be!

Be silent in the knowing
be peace and love always…
If hatred divides, it is wrong
for love is the answer to all things…
Be love
be love
be love
I cannot emphasize it enough!

I have searched for love my whole life
and where do you think I found it?
not on the tongues of the oppressors
or in the minds of right-fighters
but In rooms where desperate people meet
on the streets with outcasts,
among the brokenhearted,
from the mouths of babes,
and in the eyes of the wounded….

I have found love in unassuming fellowships of light….

People don’t let our opinions divide us!
For it is true that love is patient and kind
it does not envy
it does not boast
it does not dishonor others
it is not self-seeking
it is not easily angered
it keeps no record of wrongs
love does not delight in evil
but rejoices in the truth
it always protects
always trusts
always hopes
always perseveres
for love NEVER FAILS…
1 Corinthians 13 v 1-8

Tattoo these things on your heart…

I walked past…

I walked past the deliciousness
of everyday life,
past the flavors
and popular designs… I walked past,
wondering
if the world
can really change,
past the abundance
of retail remains… I walked past the wealth
of racks of clothes,
I came to a knowing,
that our hearts
are being exposed… I walked past the memories
of lunch at cool cafés,
I felt a longing
that doesn’t go away… I sensed a mastery
growing in my bones,
that through the turbulence
we are being rezoned… I saw the hungry
waiting in long lines,
I gained an awareness
that we are all divine… I walked past the people,
the ones we used to be,
a strange evolution,
a time to be set free,
to appreciate
the miracles
of circadian life,
to re-emerge with love
as our constant guide… to put aside
squabbles,
the need for material things,
to experience
the exhilaration
that generosity brings… to spread our light
to the far corners of the earth,
to relearn the pleasure
of nature’s lavish mirth… I walked past
in transformation
of everyday life,
and became immersed
in the most sacred design…

Counting stars…

we counted the stars
at moonrise,
some lay within
our reach,
they remained part
of our fragments,
many had light to teach…

We remembered the glow
within us,
from whence
we came,
the radiance of our memories,
we’ve never
been the same…

We come from the dust
of distant stars,
we are rising suns,
our quest is to shine
brightly,
and learn to live as one…

A sacred celebration…

“We’re all just walking each other home.”
― Ram Dass

There’s a field of love around us,
an energetic pull…
a momentous feeling,
of grace alive
in full…

Angels cry holy
and anthems can be heard,
in sacred celebration
of consciousness
in the world…

A wave of joy greets us,
the unseen
appears,
a mystical awakening
it’s music to our ears…

And we dance
to the silence,
singing in between,
despite all our brokenness,
kindness intervenes…

the enlivenment
of our senses,
a glorious shift,
a divine intervention,
an incarnate gift…

It’s the call
to remember
from whence
we have come,
earthbound for a moment
we coalesce
with the son…

Sentient beings
among us
breaking
the silence,
speaking out truth,
with love and grace
to guide us…

Something real…

The tinsel decorations have been put aside,
tiny Santa’s,
and golden baubles
now gather dust in forlorn boxes…

The meaning has been questioned,
over and over,
played out
and misunderstood…

If it does not taste of Love it has no flavor…

Symbolically,
all she wanted was simplicity,
just a few lights,
and the soft glow
of something real…

Zebras enhance the view…

I’m passing through
Elysium fields,
where only my breath
quietly yields,
to the intensity
of blues,
and zebras enhance the view…

Side-effects…

And when your eyes freeze behind the grey window
and the ghost of loss gets into you, may a flock of colors,
indigo, red, green, and azure blue come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.
― John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

the script
has written me
in other lands,
where the weight
of loss
makes the heart ♡ expand…
and love’s blessings ricochet,
and move
and dance…and elevate…
in crimson auras
on cloudless days,
it’s a side-effect
of divine praise…
