Keeping It Real
As we embrace this New Moon and Chinese New Year we are called as well by the energies of change within us all.
2017 has begun to be a coming out party for millions who have been hidden within their own ideas of self.
This is a mass expansion of the Heart.

Allow the poem and photo of my beautiful Rhododendron remind us that reality is based on showing up, coming forth or being exploded into view.

The Flower cannot show us its beauty without the bush from which it extends…
there is no separation
The bush cannot remain and grow without the soil in which it is planted…
there is no separation
The soil cannot feed the bush without water or the sun’s energy…
there is no separation

We cannot embrace the beauty of the flower
or the New Moon or each other
without Showing Up
Keeping It Real
and Being in Unity
…there is no separation…
except in the mind
creating its own reality
an illusion of self grandeur
that denies the Heart

2

Dear little one

remember you are LOVE

flying in the depths

of your innermost Self

let us never forget again

the heights to which we can soar

or the depths into which we dive

for there is amazing beauty

which arises within us

as we set ourselves free

in the ‘Living Breathing Light’

~riverman 1.26.17

Everyday presents  opportunities to refresh and nurture our inner child.
The challenge for most of us is to somehow find the time to do that and be creative enough to make it last.

The energies that swirl around us as the world expands and contracts is very hostile at times. It threatens our sense of stability and presence… who we are and what we are doing.

Yet there is always a haunting memory that “once upon a time” we had no fear, no concerns… that we were innocent.

This photo of me taken by my father almost 68 years ago is very dear to me as I look at my innocence. Yes I had it as I lay there with my father recognizing his own innocence as he gathered his tripod and camera. Little did he know how precious he was in that moment but he caught a glimpse of it for a brief moment.

This is how we begin to recover from all that we somehow became defining in our lives. The defining which was placed before us and of which we drank until we forgot.

We were Peace before we were born
We were Light before we were born
We were Love before we were born
We are all that still…

AS “Living Breathing Light”

Spend some time remembering that you are precious and beautiful, that you are love beneath all of the chaos and that peace will arise in you as you remember.

~riverman

PS… thank you to GrandMother AH’LU’SHa’Mah: “she who is at one with all universes in song, prayer and being” for the inspiration I received through her words “Living Breathing Light”

Inspiration Day 9

66a54-heavensentglow

Heaven sent glow
Fire of the West
Fill our hearts with Hope

Wave upon wave
wash us in your Glory
fill our minds with Love

Here in the Harmony
between shore and sky
fill us with Peace

Oh Divine Light
Fire of our Souls
spill forth

Dispelling the darkness
filling us with Grace

cRb

Let us look at some of the words in this poem… Hope, Glory, Love, Harmony, Peace, Grace. These are some of the building blocks with which we can create a balanced and co-creative society.
One that is balanced and regenerates itself based on the continual filling and pouring out of  abundance.

We have been living in fear and lack for so long that we have forgotten our ability to be the truly powerful individual seeds from which those building blocks become manifested.

Yes, we are the pure potential for change… living and breathing building blocks, which when aligned with each other create wonder and beauty.

As in my photo above of a sunset while on the Atlantic Ocean the darkness encroaches and limits our view of the Sunlight. Yet, it is not sustainable for it has no real power.

So too, we have been encroached upon by many well-meaning ideologies and wonderful speakers that have slowly taken away our own ability to create in unity.
And so let us ask once again…

Here in the Harmony
between shore and sky
fill us with Peace

Oh Divine Light
Fire of our Souls
spill forth

Dispelling the darkness
filling us with Grace

~riverman

Daily Inspiration 8

Forgiveness

Let us meditate on the word forgiveness as we become more aware of the world around us.
The World which brings us so many opportunities to forgive.

It can be a great challenge to us all to hold a space open in our hearts for those who appear as threatening or overpowering. Yet it is within our minds that the recognition is made and connected.

So much is made of the process of forgiveness that we tend to believe that it may be impossible. We somehow suffer silently and cannot possibly surrender and release those painful feelings.

Instead we protect and guard our vulnerability and become so vigilant so that we begin to perceive everything as a threat.

Is the World really a threat to us… or only to our perception of it, our belief about it, or is it just our trapped emotional energy held so tightly in our hearts that creates this.

Let us surrender and release a little everyday
Let us begin with ourselves
Let us unlock the shackles of our own prison
Let us begin to Love and Forgive

~riverman

Fabulous

Let us be Fabulous…
Many times we arise in the morning and not only is it gray and chilly outside but in our own bodies as well.
The world around us has not so silently maneuvered its way into the very core of our essence. Somehow a pall over the truth of who we truly are.
Pansies are a reminder with their happy faces that life gives us a very short time to be Fabulous.

WE
begin all curled up
waiting to open
blossoming into radiance
and bruise around the edges

Yet in each of those stages of our lives it is being Fabulous that connects us to each other in Harmony and Grace…

Everyday

Inspiration Challenge Day 6…

Unification is an alignment which invites us all to welcome each other.
To fight against this gathering force is a struggle we create within ourselves and can only end in suffering at some level.

Daily Inspiration Day 5

21 Saturday Jan 2017

Winter Sun

Where but in the mists of time
where the grayness rises to greet you
can we seize the opportunity
to shed the backpack of life’s burdens

As the fog erodes the snow and ice
here we are freed from the coverlet
of teachings and beliefs of limitation
which no longer serve humanity or Earth

This is the ascension of which I yearn
expanding the wonder of awareness
to encompass the thinner air of elevation
in which the freedom of diversity reigns

A wall of seemingly insurmountable fear
attempts to build itself to block our path
yet there will be no searching for a way around
nor any false prophet to advise or show us the way

We will sit and quietly, allow it to swallow
each and every question how or why
and as the illusions of life disappear into vapor
we become tethered no longer and rise.

cRb 1.21.13

Conscious Awareness

Inspirational Quote Day 4…

Everyday is an amazing opportunity to explore dimensions of ourselves which have been previously inaccessible. Here on Earth the view from the 33rd floor is much different than the 3rd and likewise here in our multi-dimensional Self. ~riverman

Day One of the Inspirational Challenge…
Having been challenged on facebook to post something inspirational for 7 consecutive days, I decided to accept.

I decided to post my own which have over the years been a part of my Museography; taking one of my photographs and marrying it with my words.
Most of these have been posted here over the years but as we move in such fast waters it is a challenge to capture all that is coming into our field of resonance.

Light of New Dawn
Day 2 of the Inspirational Challenge…
I decided on day two that I would not only post my quotes which have become Museography but I would write something new as I contemplate those messages.

Let us be the morning light
which rises above the stillness
and ignites compassion
within each others hearts
~ riverman

Compassion=Happiness

Day 3 of the Inspirational Challenge…

Compassion is that divine energy which motivates the heart into actions that speak louder than words. It enables us to align and reveal our core values which the thinking mind can only list and not feel.

Morning 1st Glance 1.14.17

happiness-i

Bright Colored Houses, a Lighthouse on the Coast of Bermuda and a quote from Mahatma Gandhi.

This picture taken from a Cruise Ship several years ago as we approached Bermuda always makes me smile. Then when I read this quote, the marriage was made.

So many times we get stuck in thought forms that are not vibrant expressions of who we truly are. We move through life with our heads down and everything has a grey tone as if being hidden by a fog of confusion.

2 weeks of a New Year have elapsed and there has been so much cleaning and clearing in all of our lives. We sometimes don’t notice it until we look up from our sorting and tossing of what no longer serves us.

Happiness is when
what you think,
what you say,
and what you do
are in harmony.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

What a Beautiful Morning, as the thought of living in a such a world of vibrancy and diversity dances through my energetic body.

The time we have to share with each other is to not be defined by our busy-ness.

It is in the briefest moments that we can share our joy and alignment and shine brightest.
It is a brand new moment that carries us into the opportunity to co-create wonders.
It is the compassion and love we can embrace each other with that creates the beauty.

Let us not look back at the Ocean we have crossed to be here Now
Rather to thank it for teaching us that the journey is always a test of balance
which we can release whenever we remember our commitment to our Self

Blessings of Happiness to you
Riverman
