Unlimited Possibilities
Here I am
On Retreat
an offering of The New Life
through Silence My body exhausted
I was gifted with
The Forgiving Light
and the everyday practice
of Gratitude Enter Unlimited Possibilities A Miracle
Your music inspired me
I had a dream
You are a part of me,
We are connected
You are my gentle side,
my tenderness
my quiet resolve
I fear you, yet I love you
You are my self esteem
my failures, my successes
my innocence
Going deeper
becoming intimate
with self
with spirit
I am excited by your presence
God-sent
Every thing, a gift
A Miracle
Purpose
We live in a world of uncertainty
anger and frustration keep us there
We gain knowledge through books
but true understanding comes from
feeling the pain
The deeper we go,
the more joy we allow in our lives
Only then will we be able
to reach our spirit’s purpose
Co-Creation
The joining of matter and energy
Union
The bringing of love into matter,
physical experience into energy
Through separation, love
through love, forgiveness
through forgiveness, balance
through balance, oneness
Co-creation
Confusion
Mixed messages
--tangled schemas
External expectations
--internal conformation
Creativity, passion, feeling
--jumbled, excommunicated, hidden
Capitalistic politics,
materialistic society,
market economy
Democracy
--Forever...(?)
Emotions
3 dimensional sense-ability
Joy to sorrow, peace to anger
Polar feelings on a continuum
Emotions bring cause and effect into consciousness
They allow us to plumb the depths and stretch to the heights of physical experience
They build within compassion for others and understanding of the human condition
Emotions are the key to existence and the doorway to spiritual enlightenment
Children of the Light
Children of the Light
Beacons Unto One Another
Shed Your Light on Thee
Open the Doors of Perception
Lead All Forth Out of Darkness
to Fear No More
There is Only Light
All Is Eternal
There Is No Evil
In Truth
In the Name of God
Amen

The Mirror
Life is a mirror. My likes and dislikes.
Projections of my own thoughts and fears. What is reality? What is it that I fear? What do I love?
What judgements do I make?
How do these relate to my life?
Who do I reject? Why? What do I embrace?
To what do I hang-on? Is that which I put out there what I get back?
The judgements I make for or against others,
are they for or against my self?
Is this is the way of the physical world,
the egoic world of opposites? I wish to cleanse and let-go of fear,
to be aware of my feelings,
to witness my emotions,
to see me in the other
and treat others as if they are me. And not let my mind carry me away
to becoming what I might think I perceive. Wholeness
A homeless person approached me today.
She was sick and cold, and asked for a coffee;
she couldn’t stomach a bowl of soup.
While Michael got her hot drink,
I was moved to give her Reiki.
She could feel it in her leg...
...a few moments of peace from the pain
of ‘cellulitis’, dislocation, non-compassion,
shame.
She cried a little,
then the three of us embarked
on our respective ways,
I gave her five dollars for later,
she gave me a hug.
Balance, honesty, integrity, impeccability, humility—
these words lie at the same point of being.
The basis of physicality and spirituality,
they include mindfulness, caring, compassion.
The more I am able to embrace these words as my way of being in the world,
the more peace I feel,
the more I can hear
—and follow—
that still small voice inside;
the more peace I spread to others,
the more I am able to transcend my ego
...my fears...
to the space where wholeness and spirit reside.
The Challenge
The challenge in life is learning to discern the difference between conditioning and truth. Conditioning is that who we have become in response to our environment, that is, who we think we are. Conditioning is that which we see in
ourselves, and others...both good and bad. It is the judgements we hold, the patterns and habits we adopt, the feelings and illnesses we emulate.
We have choices to make. We can view the world as a threatening place, or we can use our experiences to move through our fear, to come to the place where love resides. We can fear life, people, food, things, death, spirit, or we can embrace it all with love...and
compassion.
Through recognizing our patterns, investigating our thoughts, beliefs, and judgements about ourselves and others, and paying attention to our intuitions and the synchronicities that present themselves in life, we can gain much insight into our
identities, our circumstances and experiences, the choices we make in life, and the direction in which we need to proceed.
The route to truth, joy, and health is to find the balance between opposites. This comes through forgiveness of self, and forgiveness of others.
Healing the World is an Inside Job
Everything in life is connected.
Dis-ease is connected to emotions, thinking, and spirit, and our expression of these in the world.
Understanding and awareness come from watching our reactions and responses to the experiences life offers us.
They come from recognizing our judgements, our defences, our patterns.
Healing starts within, here, right now.
It comes through acceptance and forgiveness, through knowing that each of us is doing our best with the resources we have.
Yet the focus needs to be on self rather than other.
Give what you truly wish to receive.
Rediscover yourself: Follow your intuition;
Challenge your fears...Find purpose in life.
What makes life meaningful?
What would truly add meaningfulness to your life?
Be that change: See what happens.
Faith
We live in a 3D world
we eat, sleep, work, play
our perception is that we have a physical reality
but what of the rest of existence
what of the things we cannot see
space, energy, spirit, consciousness, unity
everything is as it is
yet we distrust the ones who truly feel they have everything they need
we exercise power over the physical to feel we have control
we fear death because we must let go and venture into unknown territory
we have choice
--yet we are here and the unknown is here--
we are in relationship, together
and with faith
we can have it all

Feed My Soul
You feed my soul
soft and pure
—everything—
light and dark
Consciously shifting the focus Love feeds my spirit
here with my Women & Men Friends
The Haven touches my being
integrating body, heart, and mind
—once again—
taken out into the world
to blend with All Oh, how I love
How I love to love
How I love to be loved The mystery of the circle
lets go pre-conceived ideas and
Presence lights me up like the sun —the Gift of Love— Feed my soul Reality
Who are we
to think we are
intelligent?
Look at the world we have created,
conflict and struggle,
competition,
control and power.
It's time we give that which we wish to receive.
It's time we had compassion
for others, for ourselves,
no matter what we may think.
It's time we put
our judgements aside
and looked beyond our perceptions
to the heart, soul, and light
that Is
--in truth
--inside.
See others for who they are,
not whom we think them to be.
Realize that what you see
in them
is
your fear.
All that I perceive
is the mirror
reflecting me
back
to myself.
I have a choice:
respond with love or
react out of fear.
Now.
This is real.
This becomes reality.
One Spirit
We share our lives on earth
We live—we love—we laugh—we learn
Individuals
yet a family
Connected by senses and abilities
that go beyond human understanding
Separate
yet together
Each presence is important
Each life, a gift to the whole
In my search for peace and harmony
your spirit touched my heart
the wolf
a symbol of
wisdom and courage
gives us sensitivity
in expressing our emotions,
the willingness to look within,
the wisdom
to accept our experiences
as opportunities for growth,
the courage to challenge our fears,
and the power to change.
Truth
Truth finds us
It awakens us from deep sleeps and leaves us
questioning
It prods us out of denial and propels us into
action
It nags us when we least expect
It brings to us experiences from which to grow
It underlies judgement and belief and
heals disease
Truth finds us; it lies
within
Innocence
Excitement with life
in awe of, in wonder
Enthusiastic, fascinated
caring, understanding
Compassionate an unabridged edition, extended
Forever Light
Be light oh fair one.
Be light and shine forth.
Let your light shine on Thee...
The All and the One...
There is no other...
only that which is now
...and forever...
