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.

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!

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?
