My Journey

As I reminisce
Old thoughts creep into my mind
Giving me great pleasures
Giving me great sorrows
Allowing me to see my journey
The journey I took
As I stand on my path
Wondering what is my next step
A wash of love sweeps over me
Lifting the curtain that blurred my vision
In this moment, I can see so clearly
I know that I have journeyed
To the most beautiful place
For I have united with all that is
All that ever will be
And all that I can become

Singing

Stepping out of my comfort zone
Gives me shivers
Gives me hope
Gives me success
For when I am internal
I see things from my point of view
Yet when I look at the world
Through the lens of Spirit
I see
I feel
I comprehend
All that has made that Spirit sing
Singing is a misnomer for feel
For when I feel I will sing
And when I sing I will rejoice
And Holy be to God
For I am

Friendships

True friendships are scarce
You think friendships are what you expect them to be
Or not
For when you are in a friendship
All should be equal
Yet, what in life is truly equal
Only that what you give to yourself
If you allow yourself
The pleasure of being a friend to yourself
Life opens up
Odd as this seems
We generally put ourselves on the back burner
And let others lead the way
To overcome, always think of yourself first
Bring in the light to you
For when you bring in the light
And stay open in your heart
The friendship that you so seek
Is burning within

My Traits

Single out one trait of yourself
As you do, honor yourself
First for being so honest
Second for allowing yourself to step into your personal space
Third to hold your trait in the palm of your hand
This is one of the most precious gifts
You could ever give yourself
For when we search for traits
We often go for the ones that are not pleasant

Yet as we hold them
And observe them
We find that our trait is rather pleasant
Not cynical as we first believed, Bravo
Thank your trait for being a part of you
Gently place it back where you found it
Now, congratulate yourself on being you and only you

Growth

Single out just one thing about yourself

That you are in touch with

Take this one thing and hold onto it dearly

For when you adjust your vision

To the one thing that is about you

Growth will happen

You will grow into the abundance you so desire

Forever

Forever seems so far away
But the moment you think of Forever
Is when it starts and there is no ending
This is the beginning
For this moment
Is now
This moment you and I are connected
We are connected in love
We are connected in light
We are connected in the Glory of God
In this Moment the Universe is wrapping its arms
So gently, yet so strong around us
Making me feel so SECURE and LOVED
