Harmonics As A Gift of Love!

Inspired by the teachings of Elizabeth A. Hin 

Beloveds, 

First there is a gentle touch, then an embrace, next a re-membering, and another, and another, and another re-membering until we fully Awaken into compassion, humility, hope, integrity, patience, and understanding, embraced by Divine Grace & Love.

This is the dance, the song, and the Gift of Love that each being has to share.

Perhaps then, for each of us, the true miracle lies in our willingness to allow, appreciate, and honor the uniqueness, and freedom of each sentient being to sing the song of their heart.

And these songs, so glorious, simple, and profound create a new Harmonic Rhythm of Divine Grace which gives us a pathway HOME.

Home is Heaven On Mother Earth.

Home allows us the gift of respecting the gardens of others, admiring ALL soul vibrations; and creating our own melodies which complement all others.

 

Listen to the pitter-patter of raindrops falling, the whistling leaves as the wind flows through; the bubbling brooks and birds singing.

Have you heard dolphins, whales and sea lions calling, dogs barking; cats, cheetahs, and cougars mewling or wolves howling? 

Do you listen to the bears, camels, giraffes and horses chuffing, huffing and neighing or the frogs croaking, and fish swishing.

Every sentient being has a sound that contributes to the Harmonics of Love into Infinity.

Silence too is a sound.

The beats of the Sun, the Moon and the Ocean create the Symphonic Movements of Time.

The wind speaks through a gentle breeze that calms and soothes, as well as through tornadoes, and hurricanes that join with rain to announce Mother Earth’s hurt and anger at our disregard for our Oneness.

Is it possible that we desire to journey into the pathway of the Uni-Verse?

When will we collectively Awaken into attention, with a willingness to heal, to dance, to sing, to receive, and share the Gift of LOVE?

My Beloveds, 

the Conductor Is Waiting; 

the Time to Join the Uni-Versal Orchestra is NOW.

Always, Melony

Thank You!

Thank You!

Beautiful People, 

Thank You All for the Beautiful New B'Earth Year Wishes!I Appreciate and Value You All! 

I am so encouraged and grateful for the hundreds of comments on social media that honored Mom Betty J. Tilman, founder of the Good Neighbor Project Committee in Pittsburgh, PA.  It is a reminder that we must tell our own stories less those who write forget us!  Thank You!

The photo you see was created by Thierno Diop, age six and one of godsons.

Here are a few of your responses to my message....

"Well stated. Your mother Betty J. Tilman is truly special. I know from, and take pride in knowing her. It was your mother who convinced me that I could get my then employer, Gulf Oil Corporation, to make one of the first major contributions to the establishment of the African Heritage Classroom at the University of Pittsburgh! 

We did this through sponsoring a visit to Pittsburgh by Alex Haley when he was attracting large audiences while doing the research for what would become the book, Roots. 

We had him at a couple of major African Heritage Classroom fundraising events. Not only did this raise money, but it also heightened the focus on how important such a classroom at the University of Pittsburgh would be.

Eternal Harvest...

Beautiful People, 

The Seeds of Peace 

have been planted with reason.

I await your return

season after season.

I send you

offers of contemplation

and multi-colored leaves falling. 

Will you walk with patience and joy

with me on a snowy day?

Can you smell 

the newness of spring

as you open your heart

to begin again?

Do you hear 

my whispers of compassion 

in the wind?

I Will Love You Always!

Will you allow me

to embrace you 

with my tears of forgiveness through the rain, 

my warmth through the sun 

and my joy through the glistening stars?

Have you yet noticed

my infinite compassion and understanding 

as the ocean tide

converses with the  moon?

The Seeds of Peace

have been planted with reason.

With Hope, 

I Await Your Return

Season after Season.

Take a Moment to Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times...

Now, Please Re-Member. ...

Peace Is Possible through Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Creativity, Deep Listening, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Hope, Humility,  Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Respect, Understanding and the Gift of Love!

Always, Melony

Turning 63--My New B’Earth Year Reflection!

Turning 63--My New B’Earth Year Reflection!

I Breathe and Exhale Ten Times In Gratitude and Love.  

In this Lifetime, I came to the Earth section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 4:28am on October 22nd in the year of 1954.  Though I come from Eternity and will return to Eternity, in Earth time, I am 63 years old.

Today I Thank the Creator for the opportunity to learn, grow and serve. I dedicate this day to My Precious Mother who birthed me, guided me, nurtured and Loves me.  I invite you in joining me in celebrating My Mom, Betty J. Tilman.

Here are the feelings and words of my Heart for My Mother.  Maybe you will share your memories with your Mother!

 Dear Mom--I feel so privileged to have you as a Mother and to have journeyed with you in this lifetime. Looking back on this 63 years on Earth/Heart, my life has been one of learning, adventure and more Joy than I thought imaginable. 

From the Dr. Seuss days of “Green Eggs and Ham” and the rhyming poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, to my rebellious teenage years where I sought solace in everything "Black" from  Ebony and Jet Magazine, to the poetry of Langston Hughes, Sojourner Truth and Gwendolyn Brooks, as well as the writing and film making of Gordon Parks, the music of Roberta Flack,  James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ashford and Simpson and so many and much more--- to my rocky  mistakes and disillusionment of young adulthood-You Exposed Me to the Best! 

Sometimes I was fearful.   You pushed and pushed and told me that I had a right to walk any path I choose in the World.   So often I felt that I was not good enough and unworthy of these great gifts.

People whispered behind your back and made fun of me when I articulated with my extensive vocabulary.   They said I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. 

Looking back, it was funny how some of the relatives and community associates or so called friends looked for ways to undermine your authority and convince me to go right when I should have gone left.  

What I thought I wanted was to be "normal".  I didn't understand that being different and unique was a Great Gift. 

Though I tried to run away from all you had taught me, it was so imprinted in my mind and my heart and my Soul that the further I ran, the closer I came to it.  

In 1970 you sent me to West Africa by way of Europe for a few months. Today travel is like eating chocolate.  I Love it!  Travel has helped me become a person who respects and learns from people of all different cultures and religions.  I honor all Faith Traditions and continue to explore the Divine Essence of MotherFatherG-D through Love.

I look at myself now and know that I am a product of Your Magnificent Efforts!    Thank You for All You have done for me.  Your goodness inspires me.  Your toughness helped me learn how to survive in a World that would say "Who do you think You Are??", instead of "How Can I Help??". 

Thank You for teaching me to say "YES I Can" from the time I was a child--- long before the campaign days of President Barack Obama. 

Thank You for the square dancing and swimming at the YWCA, dance and drama at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, camp in Maine at Blueberry Cove and studying musical instruments like the violin and recorder.  I never did master either but at least I love music! 

Thank You introducing me to Khalil Gibran, Shirley Chisholm, Harry Belafonte, Maya Angelou, Danny Glover, J. California Cooper, Jomo Kenyatta, Nelson Mandela, members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcom X, Nelson Mandela and so many Heroines and Heroes who have walked this Earth, un-named here, but never forgotten.

Thank You for teaching me to walk with integrity, to use my voice for positive change, and to Love and support others on their life journeys.

Mom Betty J. Tilman, I feel so privileged to have you as a Mother and to have journeyed with you in this lifetime. Looking back on this 63 years on Earth/Heart, my life has been one of learning, adventure and more Joy than I thought imaginable.   

I Am Humbled with Love, Grateful and Happy to Be Your Daughter! 

Always, Melony

A Special Request: Celebrating Melony's New B'Earth Year!

A  Special Request: Celebrating Melony's New B'Earth Year!

Beautiful People, 

First I'd like to Thank All of You for Your Compassion and Beautiful Support.

And Yes, I Still Believe in Miracles!  More than 15 years ago I met Dr. Carolyn Goodman on the 1 Train in NYC.  She shared the story of her son Andy and how he had been murdered in Mississippi by the Ku Klux Klan during Freedom Summer in 1964.  

Dr. Goodman invited me to an event honoring Andy's life where I met Sylvia Golbin Goodman,  beloved wife of David, Andy's brother. This family embraced me, have supported my spiritual growth and work.  What a Beautiful Miracle that resulted from a train meeting!

Fast Forward...On Tuesday, October 3, 2017,  The Andrew Goodman Foundation honored Bishop Dr. William J. Barber II with a 2017 Hidden Hero Award for "Courageously Defending the Moral Values of American Democracy." 

Bishop Barber received the award from AGF Advisory Board member and actor, Danny Glover at an intimate ceremony in New York City.

Dr. Barber reminded us that We Must Work Together for Good!

In Celebration of My New B'EARTH YEAR on Oct 22nd,  I am Speaking to Everyone Everywhere and Asking That You Support  the Andrew Goodman Foundation and the VOTE EVERYWHERE Initiative on College Campuses.  

http://www.andrewgoodman.org/

These are very challenging times and we All must remember to  be mindful, to focus on issues and not get caught up in senseless rhetoric.  Yes, the devil is very busy causing division but the good news is that we are facing the hard truth about who we are  as individuals and collectively.  

Even in the darkest hours, We Must Have Hope.  We must also work harder to be Our Best Selves.

On the political landscape, even now many of us don't see the urgency of working together and VOTING in every election.   This is a difficult lesson but We Must Remember that We Are the Designated Agents of Cooperation and Hope with Good Change!

 In my New B'Earth Year, I will contine to talking to people About Andrew Goodman who was murdered during Freedom Summer in 1964 by the Ku Klux Klan and encouraging others to live the tenets of our democracy.   

Please, Let's All Help Preserve Our Fragile Democracy by Helping Train Young Leaders and Encouraging Everyone Everywhere to VOTE!  

In Honor of My BDay, Please Make a Donation to Support the Important Work of AGF Vote Everywhere Program and Let Me Know So I Can Thank You!  

Always,  Melony

Being Overwhelmed!

Being Overwhelmed!

Beautiful People,  

Have You Been Overwhelmed by Our Collective Inability to Genuinely Re-Connect in Love? 

I have, and it is difficult at moments to see, feel and Breathe in Love; Honoring the Good in All.

Our selfishness has brought forth a tremendous imbalance throughout our Earth/Heart.  

Only Good Intent and actions of Love can return the Balance. 

Please re-member that as we undergo these violent arguments in our hearts, our communities and our nations... 

There is a Uni-Versal struggle between the forces of Loving Cooperation versus ego, fear, hate and the desire or perceived need for materialist power & control. 

If we are to create a Better, Sustainable World, then we must learn to re-activate our inner listening and use compassion in all negotiations... 

Be it family, friends, corporations, society or nations in conflict!

Our goal should be to Do No Harm and to Share our resources to Educate, Uplift and Inspire.  

Our goal should be to learn to resolve conflict without weapons, as well as to Nurture and and Open Doors of Healing for Eachother.    

We must be committed to Do More Good!  

This is the Way, the Divine Call and Truth of Love! 

Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.  

In Compassion and Gratitude.  Out Patience and Respect..... 

Only Our True Compassion, Honest Respect and Integrity Can Restore Balance & Hope on Our Earth/Heart. 

Today,  Please ---Take a Few Moments to Feel, See, Live, Commit to, and Breathe In Love! 

Always, Melony 

Peace Is Possible through Compassion, Cooperation, Courage  Creativity, Faith, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Hope, Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Respect, Understanding and the Gift of Love!
