One Day You Will Ask...


 


“One day you will ask me which is more important?
My life or yours?
I will say mine
and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.” 
 
Kahlil Gibran

A Window to the Divine is Held Open...


A window to the divine is held open
in a particular way at this time
and we can be even more receptive to the Miraculous.
The mind can think us away from this,
but the inner world knows it strongly.
Mervyn spoke of this inner knowing
and it's power to alter our course,
if we remain open.
Gardens are such a wonderful paradigm
for this process of awakening,
 but we must be open
to an inner knowing of which "season" we are in,
both personally, and as a school.

Presence Brings Us to the Open Space...

 
 
 
Presence brings us to the open space
where we connect to the spirit,
where the truth of our efforts
can be seen and where there is no judgement.
The higher help meets us to assure that we are accompanied by it,
never alone.
Always under the wings of God.

Where is My Heart...


Where is my heart this morning?
Looking through my eyes
The state of love flows
reaching strangers
who instantly become lovers when we connect.
The harsh world does not penetrate me.
I am solid in my morning awareness.

Grateful for the magic touch.

A Potted Plant...




A Potted Plant

I pull a sun from my coin purse each day.

And at night I let my pet the moon
Run freely into the sky meadow.

If I whistled,
She would turn her head and look at me.

If I then waved my arms,
She would come back wagging a marvelous tail 
Of stars.

There are always a few men like me
In this world

Who are house-sitting for God.
We share His royal duties:

I water each day a favorite potted plant
Of His--
This earth.

Ask the Friend for love.
Ask Him again.

For I have learned that every heart will get
What it prays for
Most.

Birth of Venus...



"Birth of Venus" by Botticelli

It truly is a visual tutorial on how to live and awaken in this life... 
Her face is beyond lovely...
gazing into her left eye she gazes into ours and I am present.
She comes from a higher plane to be the reminder 
that love of beauty can bring us to an awakened state...through love.

God Speaks to Each of Us...


God speaks to each of us as he makes us,

then walks with us silently out of the night.

These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,

go to the limits of your longing.

Embody me.
Flare up like a flame

and make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.

Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don't let yourself lose me.

Nearby is the country they call life.

You will know it by its seriousness.

Give me your hand.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

This Path to God...




This Path to God
Made me such an old sweet beggar.
I was starving until one night
My love tricked God Himself
To fall into my bowl.
But all I ever want to do 
Is keep emptying out My emerald-filled Pockets
Upon This tear-stained World.

We are Always in a State of Love...



We are always in a state of Love 
and always loved by the Higher .... 
we just need to remember and we are there. 

I find I am constantly reminded of this when I fall still 
or find the I's stopping ... 
there is love waiting for me to connect. 

It is a form of rising in love .
rising in vibration to meet what is already "mine" .. 
so amazing to be lucky enough to be a school to keep reminding us.

I Look Through My Eyes...

Thomas Cooper Gotch

I look through my eyes, not with them.
