This morning I was greeted by an email from a friend in Australia with this beautiful picture.She also included a poem by Rumi…

The Way Things Should

What will
our children do in the morning?

Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings
should?

Will they have dreamed the needed flights and gathered
the strength from the planets that all
men and women need to balance
the wonderful charms of
the earth

so that her power and beauty does not make us forget our own?

I know all about the ways of the heart – how it wants to be alive.

Love so needs to love
that it will endure almost anything, even abuse,
just to flicker for a moment. But the sky’s mouth is kind,
its song will never hurt you, for I sing those words.

What will our children do in the morning
if they do not see us
fly?

My response to this was immediate as it was such a moment in which the words just began to flow as if they were the water dripping from the feathers of the rising bird seeing his reflection.

Rising from the waters our hearts sink
until the beating of our wings lift us up
there in flight we move into soaring

Observing from horizon to horizon
seeking again becomes the passion
which makes the heart sing love songs

It is Morning and We Are the Children
cRb 4.14.16

Have a Blessed Day  and allow your inner child to come out and play!

Embracing One Heart

Compassion=Happiness

Sometimes the words we write
return to us as a distant memory
forever imprinted in someone’s heart

They unite us just beyond our daily drama
as miracles performed unintentionally
creating a genuine sense of happiness
which is unsurpassed by any other

One Heart Embraced and Radiating
Recognizes those who need to remember

A Morning of Reflection

06 Wednesday Apr 2016

Tags

, , , , ,

Fours years ago the picture and words are now but a reflection
yet we are still on the same journey of the reclamation of our sovereignty.

Let us begin
to understand ourselves
and each other
restoring the grace
that each of us will reflect
as we move towards unification
within our hearts
dispelling the illusions
of our separation
cRb 4.6.16

May today be
your day of deliverance,
one of freedom and love,
celebration and joy.
For in your darkest hour,
face to face,
with all of humanity’s ills,
the light you will see,
is the small but omnipotent,
torch of liberation and salvation.
cRb 4.6.12

Inspired by this photo by Trini Lind this morning…

In the glow of our dawning New Earth
the blur of Light reveals the glory of life

Every whisper of revelation softly embraces us

Moments of bliss entwined with delicate surrender
remind us to continue opening our hearts

Allowing the gentle mists of Love to be diffused
breathing them into the rivers flowing within and without

Exhaling loudly our heightened sense of unity

That we may give and receive our blessings
of harmony and balance, peace and understanding,
to dissolve separation and welcome us all back home

Choice for the Future

2016_03_29_1188_cRb Morning Sunrise 3.29.16 York, Maine

I was triggered this morning by a political meme and as much as I do not wish to play in that energy, it is sucking the life out of all of US.

Yes, WE are being played as if WE were pawns in a chess game and the Kings and Queens have millions of US to play with.

The wonderful news is that each of US are awakening to OUR truth,
which is that WE are sovereign beings,
WE have a choice that changes the world and the history of humanity,
when WE unite as a collective through OUR ability to choose.

The choice WE make for today
is the road WE will take to the future
is the everyday of OUR children and their children.

The choices… are clearly aligned for each of US to see the separation within OURselves.

WE are being called to heal the wounds of thousands of years of the hatred, mind control, and the economic corruption… there are no saviors.

WE are voting for the future of humanity not just this moment…
WE will move forward by preparing the world for the future generations…
this is OUR choice… not just an election.

WE are ONE FAMILY that has been given the name HUMANITY and WE now have the greatest challenge of our history since we chose separation…
To return to harmony and balance!

Let US choose Unity rather than Separation
so that the wounds of OUR ancestors may be healed
and the future generations will know
that THEIR ancestors chose to stand up in THEIR HONOR.

WE have been taught that family is just related to our siblings, parents, grandparents and never look beyond that concept.

However, when WE begin to understand more about the larger collective of souls here on this beautiful Mother Earth we begin to understand the nature of the family of HU-manity.

It is time now to remember that Greater Family which is beyond the visible and dwells within each of us, regardless of all attributes of physicality.

Now moving in joyous synchronicity towards unification, defying separation and restoring Perfect Peace, Light and Love into all of life.

The Breath of Life becomes the River of Life which will gather in ponds and lakes on its return to the Ocean of our Existence as it was in the beginning and as well for evermore.

My 67th Birthday Message

10 Thursday Mar 2016

2

The journey of a lifetime begins in the water of our Mother’s womb
Even before entering the water we were consciously aware
although not in a form that would be recognizable
It is there we begin to receive the codes and energies
which would be our vehicle for this incarnation

Let us all remember that we are so much more than these bodies
Each unique and specific, regardless of our physical structure
We are travelers to this far away dimension of density
from our Source of Peace, Light and Love
wherein Unity and Oneness was not ever questioned

We have chosen many lifetimes and created many forms
in which we have moved out of polarity and into duality
aligning with chaos in its primordial essence
in our attempt to define who we are

It is time now to remember…
“when did we chose to separate, thinking it would be fun”

Let us return to our original Heart Resonance
clearing, cleaning, restoring and unifying
the energy of all forms in Harmony and Balance
so that who we are is never questioned again

Light of Newness

2016_03_10_1132_cRb

Awaken for Mother Earth has turned
and the Light cannot be hidden…

cRb 3.9.16

With the New Moon and a Solar Eclipse now behind us it seems that there has been a shift of energies that is challenging at best to put into words. I can only grasp at the word ‘Newness’… yet it cannot be held in its ephemeral form.

Before the Sun appeared over the horizon it was cloudy and I wondered if the day was going to be overcast. (I don’t tune in to the weather as I would rather it unfold before me)

My first cup of coffee in hand and my emails to be read I began my day. The first email from a dear friend in Australia contained my 1st Glance of Light only to be crowned in the glory of the moment, captured in this photograph over an hour later.

Here was her gift…

Poem by John O’Donohue

Light

Light cannot see inside things.
That is what the dark is for:
Minding the interior,
Nurturing the draw of growth
Through places where death
In its own way turns into life.

In the glare of neon times,
Let our eyes not be worn
By surfaces that shine
With hunger made attractive.

That our thoughts may be true light,
Finding their way into words
Which have the weight of shadow
To hold the layers of truth.

That we never place our trust
In minds claimed by empty light,
Where one-sided certainties
Are driven by false desire.

When we look into the heart,
May our eyes have the kindness
And reverence of candlelight.

That the searching of our minds
Be equal to the oblique
Crevices and corners where
The mystery continues to dwell,
glimmering in fugitive light.

When we are confined inside
The dark house of suffering,
That moonlight might find a window.

When we become false and lost
That the severe noon-light
Would cast our shadow clear.

When we love, that dawn-light
Would lighten our feet
Upon the waters.

As we grow old, that twilight
Would illuminate treasure
In the fields of memory.

And when we come to search for God,
Let us first be robed in night,
Put on the mind of morning
To feel the rush of light
Spread slowly inside
The colour and stillness
Of a found world.

Synchronous Journey

17 Wednesday Feb 2016

2016_02_17_Orchids Open

The third bud on my orchid has finally opened after so many ears of dormancy. Perhaps it was the change of location that has inspired Her to finally blossom, being now in the morning light or perhaps I have become worthy of Her beauty.

I also found a poem written by Nancye Sims which I had saved, titled “A Creed To Live By”.
I never knew the name of the poem and so I had to look it up. When I read it again I felt as though the synchronicity of the orchid and the message were linked within my Heart.

Since I tend to live what I call a Synchronous Journey, these two moments could not be a coincidence.
So I send them out to the world as a declaration of how each of us are always passing through phases of our lives which appear fruitless.
Yet they are not to be dismissed or cast away, for when we are ready to blossom once again…
We will be Glorious…

A CREED TO LIVE BY
written by Nancye Sims)

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your live by saying it’s impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget
not only where you’ve been, but also where you’re going.

Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Dawning Promise

02 Tuesday Feb 2016

2016_02_02_dawn

It has been a while since I wrote a Morning 1st Glance reflection; so here we go!

It has been a very strange Winter here in southwestern Maine with very little snow and only one week of real cold. Now the 2nd of February and it feels as if Spring really is possible this early.

Yet as you can see in the picture from my porch, just before sunrise, there is a beauty that I see as a Promise. One might ask of what and I would have to respond in many, perhaps abstract ways, of how on some level we all make many promises to ourselves.

Yet in the movement of the Earth which creates the illusion of a rising and setting Sun, we too get caught in illusions of our own creation. Many times we are just unaware and in a state of innocence, awed by all that life brings to us. Then at others, we fail to acknowledge our true passion for life, out of which we made those promises.

So this morning when I saw this beautiful image in the distance, I realized that the field of possibilities is always showing us our capacity to choose again. To re-align with our hearts and those promises we carved on the walls of our mind.

The Promise to live Life
fully and without fear
To reach out and touch
the World we are created in
Create from the pure Love within us
a welcoming experience
One which touches the lives
of all other living beings
Knowing that in that moment
We are powerful Creators
of Peace, Light and Love
