Needing MORE

A Spring Note from Miss Mellie Rainbow...

Celebrate Global Love Day May 1, 2008
with me at Hue-man Bookstore in NYC from 3pm -5pm

My Beloveds,
Angels sang to me this morning and awakened me from a lovely slumber.
Today I pray for each beautiful sentient being throughout the Universe.
I visualize us enveloped in a world of peace, with equanimity, and joy.

Still, my heart cries at our need for violence,
at our rationale for killing, at our thoughts of the inevitability of war,
and economic collapse.
Painfully I address the lack of opportunity,
literacy and safety for those in the United States ,
and extend my thoughts globally.

There is no reason or need for poverty of mind, body or spirit
---other than the desire for a few to have MORE.

More money, more land, more stocks, more fun in the Alps ---MORE.

Though I am grateful for each of my blessings,
today I too am asking for MORE.

My more is in direct relation to a desire for equity for all people,
the sustainability of our Earth, and the healing of all disease.

My more is hope, joy, compassion, and understanding.
My more is a world filled with conscience intention and love.
My more is a request to ask that we honor our seniors,
share them with our precious children
and provide them with the best of ourselves.

MORE. My more is a dream of humility,
respect and diplomacy as we learn to interact with eachother heart to heart.

MORE. My more is for us to vision and create
a world of cooperation where we allow others
the dignity of returning to their homelands
instead of creating political obstacles to peace.

Yes today my heart sings a melody of more
---more understanding, more compassion,
more willingness to share the fruits of our labor.
I believe our potential of greatness.
I believe in a society that says right NOW
---let’s redefine our commitment to eachother.

Please, let us remember the voice of the Great Spirit.
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 My Request of MORE!

Please Share/Debate/Denzel

Dear Mr. Denzel Washington,

I ended 2007 by seeing the movie The Great Debaters. Please know that I believe you are a profound director/actor/human being.You are walking as a being of Divine Grace. I was so touched by the truly beautiful lesson of hope, faith and perseverance that I decided to take a young friend from Jordan to see the movie. For me it was a re-membering of a past life--- a pathway, and a road that my earthly anscestors had taken. It was the reason that I desired we find a place to hold and cherish eachother with One Heart.

I cried during The Great Debators---big crocodile tears. I cried tears of horror and shame at a public lynching for a crime unknown. I cried tears of hope for sharecroppers working together regardless of the color of their skin. I cried for the bravery, and brilliance of James Farmer Sr. and Melvin B. Tolson who both stood as a testament of excellence, faith and hope in the days of Jim Crow. I honored and respected their wives for their brilliance and the support of their husbands; as well as the love they transmitted to all. These women were the glue that created chapels of hope. It was these women who opened their hearts, and nurtured all who passed through their homes.

I honored and respected the students, and journeyed with them in hope, in despair and fear---still somehow believing that all were one. I saluted Howard, Fisk, the school in Oaklahoma, and Harvard University for promoting education as the right of every citizen.

I was reminded that some of today’s children have forgotten our history and don’t understand the importance of pursuing excellence. My heart was heavy but joyful, because I realized we are living in a time where truly we do have a potential opportunity to look beyond race or class into one’s heart. But still, the truth is, we are not there yet.

I then asked my young Jordanian friend---born of Palestinian parents and living in a land where even though her birthplace was Jordan, all of Palestinian ancestry are considered second class citizens. I asked her if there was anything in the Great Debators that touched her heart. She was quiet for a moment, and her eyes swelled with tears. “Yes”, she said. “You know that man hanging from the tree”, her voice faltered. “That is what the Israelis did to my grandfather.”

I stood for a moment, shocked by the revelation. My heart was filled with compassion for she too knew the pain of separation in a very real way.

Herstory/ mystory / yourstory/ ourstory------ in Gaza/ in Rwanda / in the Congo /in Kenya / in Tibet / in China / in Harlem / in Chicago / in LA / in Caracas / in Port Au Prince /in Buenos Aires / in London--- in every place throughout the world--- in our heads and in our hearts, we are challenged to stop promoting and creating poverty and fear based societies.

When will we see our differences as a field of beautiful flowers? This is my question? When will there be equity, and equanimity?

Right now, as I release my shame at our anger/our fear/ and our violence towards each other, there is nothing left in my heart but love, hope and a desire for compassion and understanding.

In my minds eye, I vision a world beyond war, and poverty-- a world that lovingly supports, and accepts the greatness of each being.

I thank everyone involved with the movie The Great Debaters for helping me explore the depths of my ancestoral pain, my personal courage, my hope, and my faith!

With Appreciation,

Melony McGant missmellierainbow@yahoo.com

Struggling With Duality

Duality

Beloveds,
Many of us laugh,
as we cry tears of joy.
Many of us laugh as we cry tears of despair.
This duality is puzzling to me.
Do you understand duality?
As I attempt to understand,
sometimes I feel as if my heart is broken
only to be mended together by thoughts of LOVE.
Universal LOVE.

How can we look into the eyes of our children
and not want to create Universal LOVE???

Often I imagine a new world, a better world.
Do you ever imagine a world
without fear and envy or manipulation….
a world of equity and peace?

Throughout the centuries,
many have forged a way of LOVE.
I re-member and am encouraged.

Perhaps we could join together in a Circle of LOVE.
Let us build our Rainbow Bridge
across the Earth and create ONE HEART.

Right now, in this moment,
imagine that our bridge embraces all people, all cultures.

The Sun rises feeling glorious
and travels around Earth sharing warmth and light.

The Moon smiles as she rocks us to sleep at night.

We, all of us are committed
to educating our children, honoring our seniors,
curing all disease, nurturing all people,
celebrating all cultures,
and finding new ways to heal our hearts and our planet.

We are embraced by A Singular Divine Thought.
Hands are extended. Hearts are open.
Forgiveness is asked for and given.
Knowledge is shared. Healing transpires.
LOVE is reborn. JOY is recreated.
There is nothing but LOVE.

Perhaps you too share this dream.
I imagine that you are smiling right now.

And I become more hopeful.

Re-Membering Ancient Grandmothers

Re-Membering Ancient Grandmothers
----Inspired by the Teachings of Elizabeth A. Hin

The sun shone on a crisp Fall day,
and the wind blew so that leaves
danced as old friends, and eternal lovers.
Even now the music plays in my head.
A drum beats steadily
as bells create joyful melodies of Grace.

It was then that many were reborn.
Reborn with the understanding
that love is patience in the knowing
and feeling of humility, and compassion.
Many were re-born knowing
love is all there is, and ever was.
And therefore it is no surprise
that today we find ourselves
amongst the fallen red/orange/yellow/green leaves
and gather them tenderly
as if they are our most precious possessions.
For these leaves represent
the passage of time---a settling,
an understanding,
an appreciation of Grace.
Ancient Grandmothers are surprised, really,
that we don’t re-member
to fully embrace the breath of our hearts.
It is a breath as sweet as jasmine,
as salty as an ocean breeze,
as light and refreshing
as the smell of trees when it rains.
The breath is all things
that allow us a new understanding of the old.
We often have reason for celebration
for we are ancient in our desire,
in our faith, and our understanding.

And re-member, since the beginning of time
Grandmothers have said that
peace is a pathway that lies
beneath each thought, feeling, and action.

Peace is an opportunity
to create a world of tranquility
filled with hope, and manifested by healing.

Peace is the smile of joy
on a child’s face as she or he
holds the hand of a grandparent
and adoringly they say to eachother,
I love you!

Peace is each of us re-visiting our anger
and forgiving ourselves through love.
Peace is honoring the healing process
and holding a space for the joy
that can come after.

Peace is each of us walking tranquilly
with no guns, no weapons of mass destruction,
and no more red buttons in the white house
created to annihilate the world.
Peace is hope, day and night
illuminated by hard work, and the quest
for cures of all the ills of our society.
Peace is illuminated by each step into grace
and the reconciliation of differences
that now serve to plant
new seeds in our Universal Garden.
The Ancient Grandmothers are surprised, really,
that we don’t re-member harmonics
as the flowers of Grace which eternally
have formed new bouquets of hope,
of infinite healing, of courage,
of solutions to age old challenges.

These bouquets honor and salute
our entire sentient family
and reflect a unique understanding
of the future of the Universe.
Ancient Grandmothers
are asking us to become
more aware of a special sense of order.
Rebirth, transformations,
endings, beginnings again, and again
remind us that there is always cause for celebration,
always an opportunity to expand our vision,
and our hearts.
Ancient Grandmothers are asking
Us to pay more attention;
to walk in the field of miracles,
to embrace the newness of leaves
fallen with hope, appreciation and courage.
What if in this moment we imagine
a potential new healing
supported by angels, masters and spirit guides
as well as trees, mountains, oceans,
sea lions, eagles, doves, dolphins and whales.
Ancient Grandmothers tell us that
truth is the constant re-minder
and the unearthing in the Now.
truth is the intuition and courage
within each of us.
Truth is the desire to live, hope and dream
of love---of a tranquil world with opportunity,
healing, food, equity,
and the fulfillment of good dreams for all.
Truth is a new song created by the symphony.
The chords are stronger, the harmony intensified.
Surety is the reality.
Resistance too is a part of the song.
Together it all becomes a symphony of love
within the passage of time.

Love is traveling through unknown pathways.
Love is with new purpose.
Love is with new meaning.
It is a song where fear is transformed
into hope with the courage to take
a solo of compassion created by humility.
The symphony of love creates a
New Infinite Harmonic
that carries us beyond; in this time,
and beyond, the beyond, the beyond!
Ancient Grandmothers remind us
that Joy is in the be-ing,
in the recognizing, in the acceptance of love.
As breathing creates the pathway
for the journey of love
into new sound vibrations of Harmonic Grace.
The sun shone on a crisp Fall day,
and the wind blew so that leaves
danced as old friends, and eternal lovers.
Ancient Grandmothers, and Grandfathers
are surprised; really,
that we don’t re-member harmonics
as the flowers of Grace which eternally
have formed new bouquets of hope,
of infinite healing, of courage,
and solutions to age old challenges.

My Birthday Reflection

My Birthday Reflection
22 October 2007

Something happens when we experience terror, and cross over to safety. After my hysterectomy in 1996 I felt as if I couldn’t live. I questioned who I was as a woman, and what I would bring to a relationship. I was angry with God, and didn’t understand why this had happened to me. I was a rebel who supported all the right causes, and constantly fought battles. I lost it all---my business, my great position as a successful entrepreneur, and ---- myself, or rather the me that was directed by ego. After my surgery, I dreamed of dolphins often, for years,--- and still do. Dolphins have saved my life. They led me to open my heart--- and I began to release my big ego.

It’s taken me more than ten years to rebuild my life. Now I am on a new journey of hope inspired by Gandhi’s invitation to “Live simply so that others may live.” Along the way, I continue to travel through many tunnels of despair, and have found disillusionment in myself, others, and the inequity in the world. I have been aided by dolphins, doves, eagles, wolves, flowers, and trees. Our Blessed Divine Mother sends angels, masters and spirit guides to support me. I have been the recipient of honest compassion and assistance from many, many people. I have cried more tears than I thought imaginable. I still cry. Now more often, I cry tears of joy. I have thrived, and am learning to live and flourish with courage, hope, faith in humanity, and love.

Today I am conscious of finding joy in the moment, of reconnecting to the Mother Earth=Heart, and the glorious sun, the sensuous moon, and the glisten stars. I imagine I have lived many lifetimes.

Perhaps I have been an angel---a murderer, a thief, a courtesan, or a warrior. It’s possible---and probably true. It doesn’t matter though, because who I was is yesterday news. Who I AM is what’s important. Each day through my meditation and prayer, I always have the opportunity to begin again. Every moment I am given a choice to show up in love. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I’ve passed on great opportunities to be of service. My ego self steps in to call for attention. And the journey continues. I’m learning to forgive myself for all my mistakes, and to forgive others. I work to move on. I work to live in the Now Time—moment to moment, joyfully in the NOW.

Today, I embrace the continuing disappointment of my ego. I ask to have more courage to live my life in service, as a being of love. In my heart I believe that humanity can re-connect to create a tranquil, loving existence in harmony.

There have, and continue to be ego, and financial challenges. Ultimately though, everyday I ask to show up for myself, and others,--- to offer my understanding, compassion, my hope and my faith in just BE-ING.
Publish Post
What I am discovering is that though I don’t always show up completely----every day, I show up more!

Harmonics as the Gift of Love

Miss Mellie Rainbow on Harmonics as the Gift of LOVE…
Inspired by the teachings of Elizabeth A.Hin


My 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, joy, 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 including
the pitter-patter of raindrops falling,
the whistling leaves as the wind flows through,
the bubbling brooks, birds singing
dolphins, whales and sea lions calling
dogs barking; cats, cheetahs, and cougars mewling; wolves howling
bears, camels, giraffes and horses chuffing, huffing and neighing.
frogs croaking, 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 give the gift of LOVE?

My Beloveds, the Conductor is waiting, the time to join
the Uni-Versal Orchestra is NOW.

Joyfully written by Miss Mellie Rainbow
