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 in Musings
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.

Blessings of Peace, Light and Love to each of you,
May the flowing always be gentle,
May we always be grateful.
Are We Not These
20 Wednesday Apr 2011
Posted in Poetry
Myself and six others just spent an amazing weekend of unconditional love in a Shamballa 13Dimensional Master Healer course and I am reminded of this…
Are We Not These
Magical adepts,
Light warriors,
Children of the Sun,
All of these are we.
Heavenly sent,
United in source,
Distinct in form,
All of these are we.
Wondrous beings,
Enchanted energies,
Life restoring,
All of these are we.

Harmonic Fullness
10 Sunday Apr 2011
Fullness
Within the sound of the bell
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
Cosmic Opportunity

When we walk
upon the shores
of a strange land
there is an apprehension
a keen awareness
It is the quickening
of our senses
into a single point
a narrowing
of focus
We place ourselves
in a state of limitedness
of being not fully present
of defensiveness
This is the moment
of realization
in which
we can open ourselves
Allowing the brilliance
and power that we are
to fully evolve
into the newness
To take on the energies
as they present themselves
and move into the unknown

Uncertainty
A precious moment
Of uncertainty…
Casts a shadow of doubt
To be faced and overcome
Each one is a gift…
Truth in disguise
Laid before us
An opportunity
To choose again.

There is a solace
In the rise of the full moon
A tender caress
Blessing each of us
With renewal of Passion
Love and Devotion

Walk with me now
as we turn away
from the light of day
Let us remember
the joy and warmth
we have been blessed with
Let us hold hands
in the darkness
and know that we are not
in the shadows
For they too
only exist in the Light.

PARADISE
In our search for paradise
we forget to open our hearts
looking for something
we cannot see
we forget to feel the vibration
of the music
we cannot hear
paradise the eternal song
surrounds us
in loving refrains
lifting us out of these bodies
caressing us tenderly
so precious we are
…. her children

A Melting Vigil
Always keeping vigil,
heart open – receiving…
At the ready, to welcome
the seemingly vast,
yet tiny portal.
That, One Moment,
rising up from within
a flicker of Light,
Expanding in brightness
until it reflects us all,
no separation, no need,
no suffering, no fear
Melting away
the wax figurine…
Revealing our treasure…
Consciousness…
Immortal Awareness.
