Be the Peace!

Beloveds---

There is a common expression that says "It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It!".  

People will have disagreements and some will raise their voices, point their fingers in your face, or even call you a liar.

These are the bullies of the World. They are looking for Love. Forgive them and continue to listen deeply, be kind, firm and respectful. Life allows for disagreement.

Breathe Deeply Four Times. Commit to live your practice of Kindness. Breathe and remember "It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It!".  Breathe Deeply.  Listen Carefully.   Speak Gently.   Be the Peace!

Love Is Relentless!

Beloveds---

Love is relentless and determined.
It can be felt across the oceans of time and existence;
or through a flower that brings a sweet fragrance of joy.

 Love lives in the tears of loss and suffering;
and in every smile that opens a heart
 and offer moments of hopeful understanding.

Love lives in the minuscule and the grande;
it can be heard and felt even through the roar
of confusion and bring harmony
 and balance to any day.

 Love is intuitive; travels with fluidity
and answers every question;
including the ones you were afraid to ask.

I Breathe Deeply Ten Times
and empty my heart of judgment.

Only Love offers a good answer.

I walk throughout the day with Love.
I walk and Breathe with patient, relentless hope
and offer Loving Respect to all!

 I walk and Breathe.

 Because my every thought,
deed and action are aligned;
 Love, determined and relentless Love
brings the gift of balance and harmony into the day!

Why Am I Here?

Beloveds---

Yes, I have been disappointed and frustrated by all that was wrong in the World. I have been discouraged by evil and for a time lived like a prisoner on Earth. I have asked "What is my Purpose? Why Am I Here?"

We are here to do good and stop the devil from over riding our Precious Earth-Heart.   I am here to develop and share my gifts and talents; and to learn to live and prosper in peace through Love.

I Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  In Discipline and Courage to grow in Love.   Out Generosity and Wisdom with Love.

The Joy of Compromise

Beloveds---

Too often, we refuse to compromise. 

Just when something great might happen,
our ego takes control and we walk away
with the few precious marbles we have left. 

I still my thoughts and let go
of my egoic need for control. 

I Breathe Deeply Six Times. 
With each breath I feel a
willingness to compromise. 

With kindness, I share
my marbles with all who are present. 

I Breathe Deeply and offer my sincere humility. 

Life then opens a door I hadn't seen.  
I Breathe as it opens.

The room is filled with
marble like pearls of Wisdom and Love
that we all can share with JOY!

In the Forgotten Familiar--- HOPE

Beloveds---

When Genius and Compassion came to live among us,
they did not ask to be billionaires;
for they knew that greed and love of money
was destroying the Earth.

Genius and Compassion asked for a willingness
to see the beauty in the Forgotten Familiar.  

In every sunrise and sunset; in every fruit,
flower and tree; in every birth, death and re-birth;
through every storm or violent unnecessary war,
Hope has become the Forgotten Familiar that makes
it possible to live and honor the power of Abiding Love.

Remembering that Genius and Compassion live within me,
I Breathe Deeply Six Times. 

I open my heart and see the beauty in the Forgotten Familiar.

 Hope lives in trees and flowers and mountains and oceans.
 Hope grows with trust and in every child offers
 its smiles of Love.

To even the unworthy among us,
Hope, the Forgotten Familiar
is the Master Creator's
constant offering of Forgiveness
so that we may learn to live, work and prosper
together in peace with Abiding Love!

Dreams Still Deferred

Beloveds, 

How many Children like Imani, Jacob, Khalid, Sarita, Tenzin or Xiou Min, live in the shadow of freedom with the dreams of Gwendolyn Brooks or Langston Hughes, still deferred?   

How many Children of all Faiths and Cultures will arrive at Martin's mountaintop to discover only the soot left by guns, drones and chemical warfare because of our selfishness and greed; and somewhere in our hearts we did not believe that right would win?   

Today, I Breathe Deeply Six Times. In each breathe I say "Right Will Win!"   

I ask that with the help of the Blessed Creator; we All do what we can to live our Best.  

May We Share our Best with Others so that Right Will Win; and Our Children's, Children's,  Children inherit a Loving Earth with No More Good Dreams Deferred.
