Enter 2024
As we enter a new year with our usual hope for change……
Let us remember that our outer world is but a reflection of our inner world….so
When we want to see peace in the world let’s lose interest in conflict
When we want to see justice in the world let’s make sure we own our own injustices
When we want to see cooperation in the world let’s grow our ability for inner harmony
When we want to see compassion in the world let’s start with forgiving self
When we want to see acceptance for diversity let’s make sure we accept all aspects of ourselves
When we want to see love in the world let’s grow to unconditionally love ourselves and all others
let love win
Did you ever have someone bring up a long-ago past?
A past you thot you had forgiven?
A past when you were certain you were a victim?
And all the old feelings came rushing in:
The anger of betrayal.
What do you do with those almost forgotten grievances?
Your heart speaks its solution: give love to it.
You try to obey
Sending all the love you can muster into the dark quagmire.
Then in stillness watching the bubbling up of Light
Emerging from the dark. So many bubbles of bright Lights
Till all there was was Light.
Whew! Willingness allows Love to win once again.
freedom
My eldest son just turned 60 (3/23/21) and I asked him how it felt to be entering a new decade. “I am not sure yet. You tell me how you feel since you turned 80”. My first response was “freedom”. Later that day I gave thought to what I meant.
I have the freedom of life unfolding.
I have the freedom of not having to know.
I have the freedom not to fear the future.
I have the freedom to bless rather than regret the past.
I have the freedom of mindfulness.
I have the freedom to choose wonder over worry.
I have the freedom to not identify myself with my productivity.
I have the freedom to know physical issues do not define me.
I have the freedom to feel the fullness of gratitude throughout the day.
I have the freedom to view the world with love.
Don’t wait till you’re 80 to JOYn me
the voice
Do you listen to your Inner Voice?
The One you came into this life with?
The Voice that is wise and attentive?
The One we neglect for our intellect?
might I……
Might I, rather than striving to be Love, to become Love,
might I allow the unfolding of what I already am?
Might I, rather than striving to be more of something
or less of something, might I, in the acceptance of all of that I am,
be the continuing expansion of Divinity?
grateful
Have you ever been so full of gratefulness that it pours out of your pores?
When you feel gratitude for one thing... then another
thing shows up and you feel gratefulness all over again?
And you don’t have to have everything you want to feel this feeling?
You need only one thing — like….
I am aware I am somehow part and parcel of the Oneness….
or ...I have a full tummy.
