Beloveds,
My life is a work in progress. The picture painted in my heart is still
incomplete. The vibrant blues and greens
and oranges show my many failures that lead way to greater successes. The red,
purple and yellow hearts remind me of all that I have lost, and each time I
have fallen. Humility drew the hearts as she helped me up and taught me Love's
Truth. Compassion, Forgiveness, and Mercy teach me how to move through the
tunnels of Sorrow; and know both Joy and Peace.
My life is a colorful work in progress.
It has a beautiful texture of
hope; and through every storm, Faith becomes My Rainbow of Understanding!

Work In Progress
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."

Some Sing in A...
Beloveds,
Some sing in A, others in B but we learn the base line melody in C. It is then Harmony travels across the Oceans and Heart Seas. D, E and F bring You to Me! G-D makes it LOVE, a Universal Song. LOVE comes in different tones and complementary rhythms where we all belong. Love helps me see the You in Me. Love teaches me to hear, listen and feel every heart. LOVE is the Creator's Song, a Love Song that Allows Us All to Joyfully Sing Our Part!

You will discover that You live in the Heart of the Blessed Creator of Love and that Love Lives in You!
Today, Let Love turn You Upside Down so you can look at life from the Inside--- Out!

Making Mistakes
Beloveds,
I do not deny that I have made mistakes. I have made many through my lack of vision and understanding.
Poor Judgment has served to teach me valuable lessons and helped me learn to retrace my steps back to G-d's Grace.
Forgiveness stood by my side and taught me to love myself through it all.
Today I have learned that I am not my mistakes. I Am the Good Potential that Lives In My Heart waiting always to be Used More.
I have found my way home to Kindness.
I Am Love.

Blossom In Beauty
Beloveds,
Just as the sun, the moon, the stars, the waters and ecosystems, the flowers, trees, plants and vegetables are inspired and nurtured by the Harmonic Convergence caused by the Master Creator; Love has and is inspiring our Collective Awakening. As we look around at the Earth and see her trees and flowers blossoming in beauty, or hear birds singing in praise and delight, we too can feel a part of the Symphony birthing a Harmonic Convergence. We too can Blossom In Beauty. We too can celebrate, honor and become ONE with the Eternal, Everlasting Energy of Divine Grace We Call Love!

All Paths of Love help us embrace and honor Universal Truth as a Gift of Love Everlasting. Today, and every day Listen an Care Fully. Be Love in Action. Allow yourself to Live in Truth!

Beloveds,
Every good meal we prepare or share with care-- nurtures our soul, offers food for hope, gives new strength, brings new joy, honors courage, provides us with new nourishment for our bodies, promotes unity in spirit and can be an everlasting gift of love!

Resources for Our Children
Beloveds,
We say we want the best for Our Children. We say we want to live in a World that Blossoms in Peace, with Understanding and Love. Yet every day since 2001 in the name of National Security, we have allowed our government and tax dollars to fuel rivalries with drones, missiles, guns and precious lives lost. Experts say that in the past 11 years, the approximate Cost of War has been 1 Trillion, 323 Billion, 112 Million and 978 Thousand Dollars. When will we let go of our Fear and Begin Building Bridges of a Sustainable, Loving Peace? If we only continue to create mis-understanding through Fear and Violence, what Resources will we have left for All the Children of the World to Grow in Safety, and Prosper with Good Health, Creativity, Education and Love?

Harmony
Beloveds,
Earth is the Heart
of the Blessed Creator.
The breath of Love
is the oxygen
in the air we breathe
that also helps the flowers,
plants, and trees grow;
and birds sing.
Love swims through every ocean,
river and lake that helps sustain us
as the ripples and waves
sing the love song of the Uni-Verse.
Harmony teaches us to live
and sing the nurturing,
loving song with peace
and joy in our hearts!
Being in Harmony means that
we care for and respect
all sentient beings
of the Creator's Heart.

Make way for a Fresh Start! First create space for reflection in your Garden of Possibility and Hope. Ask for and honor your New Vision. Then tenderly till the soil of Gratitude and plant new ideas.

Embrace, Reclaim and Reveal YOU!!!!
Beloveds,
During every inward journey, we will examine, re-balance and restore ourselves. In having courage to do so, we embrace, reveal and reclaim the authenticity and truth within our hearts.

Good Choices
Beloveds,
Why is it that when we have a bowl of beautiful, succulent fruit to eat or make into a delicious drink, many of us are still craving a the unnatural charge we get when we drink Coca Cola. Life allows us the gift of Choice. We can enjoy the natural sweetness of the fruit of our lives and heal; or we can go seeking the poison that will harm us. Life allows the gift of Choice. Today You
Will Be Given Opportunity to Make Good Choices!

Every New Day
Beloveds,
The Sun was shining with Hope. It was a beautiful day to meander through the park of joy, swim in the water of understanding or journey into the foothills of awareness and Faith. The Seeker, stuck in guilt and yesterdays woes, did not hear the birds singing and could not feel the breath of love that caused a gentle breeze in the air. Still, G-d was ever-present patiently waiting; hoping the Seeker would awaken without fear, and have the Courage to experience the Mystery of Love hidden in Every New Day!

Gil Noble Ascension/Archives
Beloveds,
Earlier today I attended Legendary African American Journalist Gil Noble's funeral at Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem. Randy Weston, Leon Dorsey and more than ten drummers dressed in white offered beautiful musical tributes.
There were heartfelt testimonies from many, including Rev. Dr. Calvin Butts, former Mayor David Dinkins, Dave Davis, WABC President, City Councilman Charles Barron and Dr. Leonard Jeffries who spoke of the Family's Love and great sacrifice in sharing Gil Noble with the World.
Susan Taylor, Danny Glover, Gil's daughter Lisa and attorney of 20 years, Joseph Fleming made touching tributes. Minister Louis Farrakhan in speaking about Gil offered beautiful life
wisdom and said "There is No Retirement. Stay At Your Post As Long As You
Can!".

Say Hello to Possibility
Beloveds,
Sometimes we hold on to our Yesterdays and want to travel back in time. Truth will often remind us that Yesterday has ended. It is Gone. We grow in wisdom when we Say Goodbye with appreciation.

She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity.

Old Friends
Beloveds,
When we lose our jobs, or our homes; when we learn that we are ill and can not be cured; or when we say our final goodbyes to a loved one-- we discover what it feels like to be broken. Sorrow is forever knocking at our door. How do we pick up the pieces of our broken lives? We open the door to Love. With Love will come old friends Compassion and Mercy. They are like Sunshine to the Clouds of Sorrow. And then there are the tender moments and times of healing that bring the Rainbow of Joy. Rarely in life does one travel without the other.
Even when Sorrow comes, Joy is ever-present to see us through the difficult times; and hold us tenderly with Love!

Please Wake Up! Resurrect YOU!
Beloveds,
You have heard the song of Love sung by cats, dogs, birds and dolphins. You have heard the echo of Love and felt it tingling in your heart as it traveled through the wind whistling and summoned flowers and trees to dance. Our Creator has whispered and shouted to you from every mountain of your difficulties to the depths of every ocean of your despair. Wake Up! Your history is just the narrative of Yesterday's Mistakes! It Is NOT You Are! Stop repeating and re-living the Nightmare of fear and selfishness. Please, Wake Up! Today Resurrect the Loving You. Don't go back to sleep. Wake Up. Give Thanks. Listen with Compassion. Offer Forgiveness. Assist with Healing. Sing. Dance. Live. Love. Hope. Have Faith. Embrace the Creator's Mystery. Together Love, and Give Thanks!

The Melody of MORE
Beloveds,
Today my heart sings a Melody of More---more understanding,
more compassion, more willingness to share the fruits of our labor.
Let us ask more of ourselves as we meet eachother in Grace,
and walk side by side, heart to heart.
Let us have more listening, more kindness,
more truth, more hope and more faith
as we embrace the Divine in each of us.
This Is the Melody of MORE!

LOVE filled Every Home and the People began to Prosper with New Hope!

Embracing Dignity

True Justice
Beloveds,
In a society where Injustice has found an unlikely home, we can be silent; wallow in our sorrow and lose ourselves in despair or we can choose to Stand Up for Goodness and actively promoting equity, fairness and Justice. True Justice is Just Us learning to live with dignity by raising our voices and offering assistance to our neighbors. Give True Justice a Home! Stand Up! Be the Hope and Good Change needed for our children to prosper in peace and prosperity.

Reclaimimg Goodness
Beloveds,
Compassion, Forgiveness and Mercy become difficult in a mean spirited society. It is often easier to say or do what everyone else does, even when it is unkind. To speak the feelings of your heart with Goodness takes Courage and Strength. Having Faith in the power of Love allows us to offer Compassion, Forgiveness and Mercy. Reclaim Your Goodness and Be a Powerful Shining Light of Love!

Love Is Like Rain/When Love Reigns
Beloveds,
Love is like rain dancing across rooftops.
First we hear a Pit Pat.
Then we hear a Pitter Patter.
Then we feel a Pit Pat,
Pitter Patter! Swoosh, Swoosh!
And the next thing we know,
everyone present is joyfully dancing in the rain!
When Love Reigns,
it sounds and feels
like rain dancing across rooftops.
Pit, Pat! Pitter Patter!
Swoosh, Swoosh! LOVE!
