I

what is it
about the change of the seasons
is it the warm sun
shining on your back
is it the breezes
in your face
can it be the changing sky
that makes you turn inward
and be thankful

 

II

the wind whispers change
change is growth
take a deep breath
and inhale
the freedom
never changing
never resting
how beautiful it is
to be alive

Onliness is not Lonliness

10 Wednesday Aug 2011

Posted by Charlie Riverman Bergeron in Musings

≈ Leave a comment

A young boy was looked upon as sad and alone for he had no friends with whom to play. He was left to his own on the streets of a large city in which he felt so small and insignificant.
 As he played by himself he noticed that all of nature was inviting him to join in its celebration of beauty and that everywhere he went it surrounded him. Not only in the natural state of things but in the creations of mankind which rose up to emulate all the wondrous facets of Nature’s ways.

The trees and flowers, the squirrels and birds, even the fish in the river always seemed to notice him and would come and play. 

Those who did not understand him would look and say, “How sad this child is all alone?”
Yet he was in the company of those who showed him so much more than could ever be taught by them. 
Unaware of his onliness he felt a Oneness until somebody told him it was loneliness from which he then began to see separation.
 
Now some 60 years later he would say that the Love he felt as a child came rising up through the cracks in the concrete and pavement, through sandy spaces around the bricks on which he walked and kept him dancing in a world which others refused to see. So happy again to return to the simple wonder of it all!

Vulnerability

10 Sunday Jul 2011

Posted by Charlie Riverman Bergeron in Museography, Musings

≈ Leave a comment

Vulnerability is an illusion.
It closes us off to an infinite well of possibilities.
It is mistaken for the action of surrender.
Surrender allows to experience your endless potential.
Through the action of surrender, you create divine connection.
For you are always divinely guided and protected.
~ Jennifer Longmore @ Soul Journeys

Artwork – Jennifer Ravsten / Poem – Charlie Riverman Bergeron 6-7-11
Synergy 14 ~ Love

There are times when I write and just don’t have an idea that seems to be fitting to showcase the words; when this occurs I usually place them in a folder named Musings or Unfinished Work. They become a part of a collection that doesn’t get read or seen and so their energy is not dispersed, the seeds that are left on the shelf.

This verse is an example which has now been transformed by Jennifer Ravsten who started a Facebook page ~ஐ~Artworks~ஐ~….The purpose and hope of this page is to promote all artistic forms, to feature artists and give them a place to discuss their individual talents. We want only original music, art, writing, video and any other creative medium available to shine on this page. It is for Creative Minds At Work!

I have created many times in response to another poet’s work and or taken pictures, artwork, or videos and placed with my own as inspirations which work both ways. This is the first time where it has been an intentional collaboration and I am looking forward to more.

Thank you Jennifer!

Galaxies of Love

Let’s think of ourselves as collapsing stars as we start each day. 

Let us set out to rearrange everything we have come to understand.
Let each of us create a new universe and weave galaxies of Love.

Silent Communion

23 Monday May 2011

Posted by Charlie Riverman Bergeron in Musings, Photography

This Photograph by George Risho Robertson, London UK
was the inspiration for the verse. Thank you George for allowing me to share your wonderful work.
Silent CommunionFor to be found
within your awareness
nestled among
the shadows of lightbeams
illuminating
the delicate structure
of my inner presence
has given new life
to our silent communion

At Peace Now

Message from Charlie H
May 21,2011

 

when we know it is our time to leave
we will give back all that we have been given
and return to our original presence
knowing that we have been in the garden


received by crb  5/21/11

Today a loving husband, father, grandfather and amazing human being left this world after a 10 month journey of having a brain tumor.  The memories he has left behind will continue to be a part of this world, for his presence and laughter will not be soon forgotten.I sat here at my computer tonight having returned from visiting his beloved wife of 50+ years

and as I usually do before I write my musings I humbly ask for those who want to speak through me to guide me in my writings.I placed my fingers on the keyboard and started to type out the beginning of a verse and my fingers were soon deleting what I had written and the above message was typed just as it appears, no editing, no misspelling, no hesitation or pausing to think about it.

Thank You Charlie, glad you made it home!

Joyous Waiting

16 Monday May 2011

Posted by Charlie Riverman Bergeron in Musings, Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

Joy is not “something” that eludes us; 
it is we who elude Joy!

 


Buried deep within us,
below the radar of our thinking,
waiting in silence,
Joy awaits our return.

Just For Today

21 Thursday Apr 2011

Posted by Charlie Riverman Bergeron in Musings

≈ Leave a comment

 

As a Reiki Master I am very familiar with the daily meditation on the Reiki Principles and the importance of establishing ground rules for daily practice by our intentions. 

Reiki Principles
Just for Today, Let Go of Anger.
Just for Today, Let Go of Worry
Just for Today, Do your work honestly.
Just for Today, Be Kind to all Living things.

While sharing on a facebook group I belong to, SHINING AND INFUSING OUR LIGHT AND LOVE, there was a posting which read as follows:

“You can’t control everything and have a smooth life. You can control some things, so what can you let go of to let life flow TO YOU? How can you surrender? When will you give-up on chasing the things you want in your life? Are you willing to stop chasing them away? What can you do to get yourself ready to let it start coming TO YOU?” ~ KC

As it caught my attention and I began reading the loving responses, I was compelled to add my own to the growing list. The responses continued and I could see how the power of the words we were using called me to extract them from the sentences and showcase them in their full glory.

I was reminded of the power of affirmation and the message of Just for Today,  and so I began to write.

Just for Today
I will be more flowing,
I will surrender,
I will practice unconditional giving,
I will unattach from my shoulds and what ifs,
I will focus on allowance,
I will open my Heart,
I will practice letting go,
I will embrace freedom, harmony, love, and light,
with full acceptance and gratitude.

© Charlie Riverman Bergeron 4/20/11

Blessings of Peace, Light and Love to each of you,
May the flowing always be gentle,
May we always be grateful.

Harmonic Fullness

10 Sunday Apr 2011

Posted by Charlie Riverman Bergeron in Musings, Poetry

≈ Leave a comment

Fullness
Within the sound of the bell
lives the harmonic vibration
that levels all of existence
to a oneness of creation;
never not unfolding,
never not expanding,
never not evolving.
Charlie Riverman Bergeron 2/28/11
There are times when I let go of the activities of the world, 
that harmonic sounds just reach into my soul-self, 
and whisper gently… I Love You. 
and to you in Fullness 

I say with an open heart… 

I Love You
