“…my cup runneth over.”  Psalm 23:5

Abundance greets me everywhere

The blossoms on the trees

ReMind me of the Plentitude

That dances on the breeze

More Good than I have ever held

More Joy than I’ve yet known

More Peace than I have understood

These higher States I’m shown

The State of Gratitude and Grace

The State of Clarity

The State of Calm Connection

The State of Purity

The Purity of Spirit

The Purity of Soul

The Purity of Living life

And Knowing Overflow 

For everything is given

In Gratitude receive

Allow yourself the Clarity

That comes as you believe

More Good than you have ever held

More Joy than you’ve yet known

More Peace than you have understood

These higher States you’re shown

It Is So and So It Is

Believe

Peace & Blessings

“I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.”  Khalil Gibran

We learn our lessons, day by day

And nothing here is “wrong”

The contrast provides food for thought

And Thoughts bring us along

Each day brings Light into the dark

And Breath, a vacuum fills

We stand upon a mountaintop

That rises from the hills

And Oceans touching many shores

Meet rock as well as sand

They wash away the dross of life

Perfection is at hand

The contrast is astounding

Variety abounds

Diverse, yet singular are we

As Gratitude is found

Our teachers, they are many

When open eyes can see

For often it is contrast

That truly sets us free

We learn our lessons, day by day

And nothing here is “wrong”

The contrast provides food for thought

And Thoughts bring us along

It Is So and So It Is

Peace & Blessings

“To love is to know Me, My innermost nature, the truth that I am.”   The Bhagavad-Gita

Like petals that fall from the blossoming tree

Blessings are showering me now

Like sunbeams that warm the morning dawn

Love simply provides the “how”

Like song birds that soar on the gentle breeze

Melodies now fill the air

Like butterflies, transformed and taking flight

Love simply always is there

To Love is to Know the Heavenly One

Your innermost nature, it’s true 

Present within, released throughout

Love simply becomes your “do”

Immersed in Love, I’m loving

Seeing Love where’er I go

Seeking the Good in each and all

Love simply provides Life’s flow

It Is So and So It Is

Peace & Blessings

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.”  Helen Keller

A heart that can listen

A heart that can feel

A heart that sees everything

Touches the Real

This heart is open

This heart is clear

This heart is laughing

Bringing Joy near

A heart that is giving 

A heart that is kind

A heart that’s expansive

Linked with One Mind

This heart moves mountains

This heart breathes Peace

This heart’s Forever

Love does not cease

Now feel with this heart

Now see beyond veils

Now touch the Divine

As everything pales

For this is our mission

Our purpose, our call

To live in our hearts 

Connected to All

It Is So and So It Is

Peace & Blessings

” I see humanity now as one vast plant, needing for its highest fulfillment only love, the natural blessings of the great outdoors, and intelligent crossing and selection.” Luther Burbank

In Love you’ll find the answer

 For questions as they sprout

 Like plants that seek the sunlight

 It’s Love they need, no doubt

 Fear is hiding in the corner

 Shrouded in the dark

 Love comes forward, as a Light

 And fear leaves not a mark

 Breath will calm the thinking mind

 Allowing in the Light

 Now sprouting questions open

 Find Love a welcome sight

 Just as the sprout loves sunlight

 And gentle rains to grow

 Our questions are no different

 And Love will guide, we know

 

It Is So and So It Is

Peace & Blessings

“…he leadeth me  in the paths of righteousness…”  Psalm 23:3

A wise mind and a loving heart

Balanced, poised am I

Walking the road of Peace today

With ease, no need to “try”

A wise mind and loving heart

Together, hand in hand

Receiving Good along the way

To share across the land

A wise mind and a loving heart

Right thinking does reveal

An inner strength to Know

And Trust just what I feel

A wise mind and a loving heart

Wisdom wrapped in Love

Divinity awakened

Life lived Here as above

It Is So and So It Is

So BE It

Peace & Blessings

“With flowers, with bright skies, with the divine manna of Joy in happy minds, with souls full of wisdom, with songs of the birds, with divine melodies in the hearts of men, my Beloved is calling me to retrace my footsteps to His home of peace within.”   Paramahansa Yogananda

 

A melody is playing

   Can you hear it?

 A song is being sung

   Are you listening?

 A symphony is chorusing

   Can you hear it now?

 

 A picture is being painted

   Can you see it? 

 A canvas is filling

   Are you watching?

 A masterpiece is revealing

   Can you see it now?

 

 A mind is quieting 

   Can you feel it?

 A door is opening

   Are you entering?

 A heart is overflowing 

   Can you feel it now?

 

 A path has been made

 Retrace your footsteps

 Come Home

 Now

 It Is So and So It Is

Peace & Blessings

“…  he leadeth me beside the still waters.”  Psalm 23:2

Led to the waters

Be still and know

Quiet your thinking

Allow Peace to grow

The stillness runs deep

Refreshing the soul

The quiet you find there

Beyond mind’s control

The world that you’re seeing

Established in Peace

Has order and rhythm 

And with it, release

Confusion is gone now

Disruption’s been stilled

Harmony emerges

With calm you are filled

Beside the still waters

All Goodness is known

It’s Peace that enriches

It’s Love that is shown

It Is So and So It Is

Peace & Blessings

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”  Albert Einstein

Joy is a foundation

Joy a platform makes

Joy builds walls with windows

Joy is all it takes

Igniting every Passion

Lighting every flame

Guiding each decision

From Joy, creation came

Joy creates an attitude

Joy uplifts all hearts

Joy expands the limits

Joy is where it starts

The art of teaching anything

To wake the Joy within 

To set it free, to sing life’s song

To take flight and begin

It Is So and So It Is

So BE it
