SHARING

God is love.

He is love created,
She is love creating
All that is,
The source.

I sat to meet with God.
I silenced my mind and opened my heart.
In a moment of time
I felt the eminence pour down upon me
all around me and from within me.
The forms unlimited
dwarfed me in this sea of life.
I felt as if I were smaller than an atom
being hugged from all around.
The love
So much love!
I could not believe how much was coming from inside!

I opened myself to take into my being all that I could.
I was filled to the brim in a heartbeat
Feeling myself radiant
with strength, with power,
with passion.
The beauty,
beaming from the essence of my soul.

As I sat there in the aftermath of the meeting
I began to move my mind to those who are close to me.
Feeling the power and the love
I yearned to share,
To give of myself completely.
To Father God, to Mother,
I moved my opulent heart,
To my love,
To my children,
To you.

Jai-ma!

GOD'S YEARNING

A baby will move, feel the calm, know of trust.
A child looks to Mom for the same.
She reaches for discipline so she can learn.
It puts her ahead of the game.
She wants to know how to make use of her touch.
To feel good is surely the aim.
But there's so many places where sensation falls,
Her senses she must learn to tame.

The flowers she touches,
                         the smell hits her nose.
The candy she sucks on,
                         the taste makes her glow.
Her fingers run over the strings of the harp.
The music vibrates her ears to her heart.
In every direction sweet color abounds.
Life reaches out to touch her.
It comes from outside her, it comes from within,
All wonder, so much to be found.

And yes there is pain here, to body and mind,
It beckons to her everyday.
Please learn from what you have attained in your life,
Be aware of an alternate way.
Use your mind to put yourself where you want to be,
You can learn from the children at play.
Strive to make all that you do to be fun and be free,
A kind word to your family will pay.

Loving meditation will grow your mind strong,
Ponder on love throughout the day long,
And be aware of the inner song,
The movement will show you the way.

When I Close My Eyes

When I close my eyes,
I can go swimming.
I breathe the water deep into my lungs,
And when the water enters,
It feels as though I am making love to the water.
It's really the only way to swim.
Flying, is just a whisk of my mind.
I'm soaring
And soaring,
And then diving and turning, looping and twirling so fast…
And then so calm.
And then it's up through the stars and the planets I go,
To ride on a comet
Or dive into a star.
It's just a whisk of my mind!
There are waterfalls a thousand feet high,
And deep pools to bathe in,
And sunspots to laze in,
And there are lots of pretty people to play with,
And it's always fun.

To Delight

In the cathedral of our hearts,
Rest a place not so far from here,
In a time and place only a blink away in our minds eye.

Within that time and place,
The billowing clouds of yesterday's sun
Will accelerate by colored light
Just to make it rain.

You and I can feel the water,
Dripping off our noses,
     Cleansing our bodies,
          Cleansing our souls,
                                   And splashing through our toesies.

To delight in such a simple thing,
It makes you want to blink a lot.

(whisper)
Through love is the wisdom of God.
Love sustains the soul.
Soul is the treasure of life.
Dance for the soul.

 

Dear God,

I love to see the you in me,
It makes me feel so high.
The wonder of all you do for me,
It makes me want to try
To be the best that I can be
For every moment that goes by.
I feel your love growing in me
I love us, you and I.

THE MOVEMENT

All of the people are moving 'round
Driven on by what they've found
To drive them on, it's so profound,
This movement they are on.

Don't do this, don't do that,
Mom will tell you where it's at,
Dad will drive you with a pat,
This movement on and on.

Talk will guide you, guilt will last,
What we are comes from our past.
To question this you'll see at last,
The movement.

The movement works this way, you see,
You slow down time, you learn to free
Yourself from thought, you learn to be
The movement.

It's meditation, state of mind,
Where all is new, so much to find.
We'll grow our will through loving mind,
This movement on and on.

The Dolphins Play

I remember the time
When the three of us went swimming,
Rolling in the waves,
Diving in the weeds.

It is comforting to know
That the time we share is keeping,
Forever in the memory,
To use in lives to come.

In future time we will look back.
Our hearts will glow in that time too,
And we will smile upon the days past
Of rolling in the waves
And diving in the weeds.

 

The atmosphere
                    Create to be
Fast for fun
                    Slow to see
Your body is a part of mind
                    Slow it down
                    And you will find
The way to loving days and nights
                    A path of God
                    To higher heights
Go on to that comfort place
                    And loving meditation.

To Shine

Smile God's love through heart and face,
Love and serve our human race,
Capture giving of God's grace,
Live the state of honor.

Study God through day and night,
Live through wisdom, soul delight,
Heed the call, heart warriors might,
Live your life in love.

 

The Dedication

In a time in your life
You may come to know
Engage Love
To be your love.

You may want to make a dedication.

It's in your heart,
It's in your mind,
It is all that you want to do.

It will resonate with you,
Like a snowflake floating through the clear crisp sky,
Landing,
And in a glorious moment
Becoming one with the river,
Floating to the ocean.

Knowing,

A moment when you know you're going home,
You've found it's your way home.

So you slip God's ring upon your finger.
The ring on your hand
                  There for all to see.
Tells of your heart's embrace.
Wrapped around God's face,
Smiling,
Loving to be the best that you can be.
To live in love
Forevermore.

To passionately live in God.

As surely as the body is created from the earth, used for life and then returned to the earth, so then does a soul shoot forth from God as an expression of God, to learn and grow and love her/his way back home. Flying home. Going home.

And you and I climb crossing the shapes of the morning,
And you and I reach over the sun for the river,
And you and I climb closer toward the movement,
And you and I reach out for reasons to call.
