A Scintillating Tender Heart

Beloveds,

When we walk
with a scintillating,
tender heart
we often share mysterious
moments of intimacy
and divine grace
as we quell
demons of despair

and develop acumen
to flourish
as beings in harmony!

Imagining Possibility

Beloveds,
More often than not,
I have no answers to how or why
---only more questions that allow me
to embrace my faith.
Faith, I am discovering
creates a deep well of hope.
Through hope we can continue
imagining the possibility that comes
only through love.
Imagining love; becoming love
is perhaps the greatest answer!

Voyeur

Beloveds,
Our news media has made us
voyeurs of war
and of crime and corruption.
Instead of focusing on good
we come to expect the charge of fear
that pumps our adrenalin.
Today, spread the message of hope.
Be inspired by a smile
or the whisper of the wind
that brings the message
of eternal love.
Build understanding.
Be a voyeur and giver
of compassion and kindness.
Together we can make and share
the Divine News as we walk
and live with love!

Yesterday Is Today---Tomorrow!

Beloveds,
Let us live well together today.
Yesterday is today-- Tomorrow.
Today we can nurture each other,
and make time for play.
Let's enjoy each other
and say I love every day.
For when an Angel beckons us
to return to Heaven,
we will not take our money
or any material thing.
All we will take and what we will leave
should be the eternal memory
of joy and love.
Yesterday is today-tomorrow.
Let us live well together today!

Honoring Malcolm X---Stand for Good

Beloveds,

Malcolm X (El- Hajj Malik El Shabazz),
a great American human rights activist
and world citizen once said
"If you don't stand for something,
you will fall for anything."


Today we can honor Malcolm X
by remembering to stand for freedom,
equity, education, healing and
a loving, sustainable peace.

Please, Stand for Good!
Malcolm X was assassinated
on February 21, 1965
while speaking at the Audubon Ballroom
in Harlem, New York.

His beautiful, brilliant, supportive wife,
Dr. Betty Shabazz and their daughters were present.

When You Is Me

Beloveds,

Only when we truly believe that
you is me---you is me---
only then will we find harmony
in an age of discord!

To believe that You Is Me
is to bring us together in harmony!

Resolving Our DifferencesThrough Love

Beloveds,

We will have many differences.
Some differences we will
live with and tolerate.

Others we must learn to resolve
through a fairness doctrine.

Always though, we must learn to
have respect for each other
in a peaceful, non-violent way.

Gather together. Share your opinions.

Stand strong together in love.

Offer deep love for those with whom
you have differences.

Be patient.

Good Change Will Come Through Love.

Full Moon/Peaceful Path

Beloveds,

Full moon today
so certainly it is good
to breathe deeply,
ask for guidance
and find humor in every situation.

Do you know why the monkeys stopped
playing cards at the zoo?

The truth is, there were just too many cheetahs!

Well there are cheaters/cheetahs everywhere
so today be flexible but don't get caught up
in a losing game.

Be polite, be bold, embrace and listen
to your inner voice.

Now is the perfect time to begin
to chart your own special, peaceful path
into a Divine Destiny of Joy!

Share a Moment of Laughter

Beloveds,

Recently I stopped to help a homeless man.
He said
"I have a gift for you too....
tell me, do you know where the goldfish
keeps all his money?".

"No, where does the goldfish
keep all his money?"' I said.

"On the riverbank!" he replied....

And I laughed and laughed because
I thought I was sharing with him,
and he had a special gift of laughter
to give me!

Today share a moment of laughter!

Nurture a Friendship

Beloveds,

A friend is there on the sunny days
and through the storms of life.

Time may have sent us both
in different directions
as life moved on.

Still friendship is a precious gift
that remains always in our hearts.

It is good to cherish our friends,
and nurture our friendships
through all the seasons of our lives!

Re-Calibrate

Beloveds,

The heart that learns stillness
breathes deeply, re-calbrates
and re-members divine will.

The deeper the breath,
the more rooted we become;
and with sure footing as our hearts open---
more oxygen travels into our brain.

This gift of the breath and oxygen
allows our minds and hearts
to connect in clear diamond consciousness.

It is through our breath that we are able
to re-calibrate and as we become more aware,
we move forward into our destiny with ease.

The heart that learns stillness
breathes deeply and re-calibrates often.
This is the gift of Divine Grace.

A Day for Love...Every Day

Beloveds,
If the one you thought was your enemy
asked for your forgiveness
will you say yes?

Forgiveness comes only through love.
Each nanosecond contains the love
needed to heal many wounds.

All beings can be healed through love.

Today are you willing to say
"yes, I forgive you."?

Love offers respect, seeks understanding,
shares resources, unites hearts
and brings peace to war torn nations!

Are you ready to love always---
with compassion and forgiveness--
especially on this day and every day?

Then please--- share hope and love,
love, love!

Always Love!

Being an Instrument

Beloveds,

Life can be an Orchestra.

The Divine Conductor may call on you
to be a sax, a piano, a drum, a bell,
a violin, a flute, a cello, a trombone
or a clarinet.

You may be any one of many instruments
that enjoys a passionate solo.

There is no time to audition,
we often must feel the rhythm
and follow the tune of love
with the divine orchestra.

Love is always presence and working in our lives.

No matter who we are, we all have the potential
to be instruments of divine love!

Luxury

Beloveds,

For me luxury is allowing
the love within my heart
to simmer and seep
like a pot of fresh hot ginger tea---
and then having the desire
to add a little honey
and share it with All
who need hope and healing!

What is luxury to You?

Be Clear

Beloveds,

The beauty of life
is often evident
in the reflection
of a clear pond.
Who are you in that reflection?

Are you at ease and going with the flow
or have you decided it is time
to stir things up for good?

Whatever you decide,-- be clear,
compassionate and full of peace!

Today walk lovingly with Divine Intention.

Live and Say Thank You!

Beloveds,
Think of the whole E
arth
as a Sanctuary of Grace.

Here we are given the gift of life
every day when we awaken.

Breathe and say thank you
to the sun that gives you vitamin d
and to the plants and trees that put
oxygen in the air we breathe.

Listen to the songs of the birds
as they say hello and try to honor
all members of our sentient Earth family.

In this new day, embrace the not knowing.

Enjoy the mystery of each moment.

Express your gratitude.

Offer solace to others.

Share hope.

Live and say thank you many times every day!

Asking Why

Beloveds,

When people begin to ask why---
to question unfair laws
and want more
for themselves and their children,
they become motivated by love.

Love brings unity
and a strong sense of purpose.
Love gives us courage
to make good changes so that all
share collectively in a bountiful harvest!

Love says yes to compassion,
understanding and unity.

The seemingly impossible becomes
most probable only through love!

Benevolent You

Beloveds,

I saw in your smiles a caring,
and a respect for others.

I saw in your eyes an appreciation
for the joys and struggles of life.

And then when you extended your hands,
I looked into your hearts.

Therein rested the dream
of a Benevolent World.

Benevolent You, you are not alone.

Be a tender, understanding Benevolent You.

Live the Divine dream.

Sing your song of hope and loving compassion.
Today each act of kindness
will help All awaken in Love!

Thank you, Benevolent You!

Our Promise

Beloveds,

A very wise man was asked a question
and his answer was simply--
"Continue to share your love for life".

Therein lies the message of a deep Divine Gift.

Moment to moment, day by day, year by year,
we must promise ourselves
to try to see love in all
and share our love for life.

When we make this promise of love
we are given the gift of eternal hope.

And in trying to always share
our love for life, ----

Love Itself,
becomes an infinite refuge
and a place of healing and peace.

Sunday, February 6, 2011

Love More

Beloveds,

How can we Love More?

We can re-member to have
more listening, more kindness,
more sharing, more acceptance of truth,
more healing, more hope and more faith
as we embrace the Divine in each of us.

Today let us dig deeper, and Do More.

Love More!

Let us ask more of ourselves
as we joyfully meet each other in Grace--
and walk side by side, heart to heart
with a powerful, illuminating, peaceful Love!

Song of a Sinner

Beloveds,

Love was all around me everyday--
in the smiles of the children,
in the melody of a song,
in the dance of the trees blowing in the wind,
in the light of the moon,
in the warmth of the sun,
and even the roar of the ocean.

Love was before me everywhere.

But my ego needed control and in control,
I destroyed it all.

Then empty and alone, my heart became
broken and scattered throughout the Universe.

And in the emptiness of eons beyond time,
I was filled with the benevolent
mercy of our Creator.

It was then, beyond the desire
of my selfish ego that even me,
the worst of sinners
was forgiven and born again in Grace.

Having learned that lesson,
now I am able to offer Only Love!

Friday, February 4, 2011

Love Is...

Beloveds,

Love is the patience
that pours
like a waterfall
and offers us
understanding and clarity
so that we can see
throughout the vastness
of the universe---
the stars of hope that light the sky!

Managing Confusion

Beloveds,
As we face confusion,
we must calmly
bring our best selves forward
so that we are able to act
with mercy and grace.
We must be patient and ask
Divine Spirit for a loving solution.
This is the way to become
healing bridges of hope,
humility and love.
When our faith allows us to
embrace loving intentions
we are given new resolve!
Today please offer a prayer
for the good future of our world
and see all people
coming together in love.

Show Up

Beloveds,

Even when it difficult,
we must try to show up
for ourselves and others.

We must be present in the moment.

When we are present,
we learn to listen.

Our hearts assist us
by offering understanding,
hope and compassion.

When we just show up
and are present in the moment,
we are able to offer
our hands in courage

---to walk a difficult path
with dignity and respect.

Most of all, we are able
to re-member the joy
and the bliss of sharing love!

FInding Solace

Beloveds,

I wonder if you too are grappling
with the big questions of truth and justice.

I find no good reason for poverty,
homelessness or starvation.

I find no good reason for greed
or continuing acts of violence
against eachother.

I look for solace and joy.

I see hope in the eyes of our children.

Today, as I move beyond dogma
and embrace the teachings of my heart
I find solace in a social activism that heals
and moves us collectively forward in love.

Will you join me?
