The Subject Is Love

The Subject Is Love Love is no respector of persons. Love shines its blinding light on the just and unjust, alike. I am confused. You showed up, and completely filled my vista. Your light blinds me to so much when you come near. When you're not here your light comes from within. Oh Holy One, What am I to do? It is you who direct and dance in my dreams. How long will you stay away? Come, Oh joy of my soul, Come and hold me. Come, let me whisper in your ear. Our mission together calls. Can you... Sign in to see full entry.

Moments of Truth

Moments of Truth We have all had them, these moments of truth. Time stops. Ego dissolves. Unity and Oneness prevail. Joy fills. Life rejoices. Knowing is complete. Peace predominates. Mind quiets. From this mountain of love and light, we must return. Fear not, friend. You have been given this precious gift to share, to bless, to be leaven in the loaf. Like Moses, come down the mountain to be blessing. Shams says, "Don't worry; this mountain is not going anywhere, and you are learning new ways to... Sign in to see full entry.

Four A.M.

Four A.M. It is four a.m. and the only sound is the sweet, soft patter of a gentle rain caressing the earth. The rose gold light of the streetlamp glistens and sparkles in droplets on leaf and wire. I am left in silent awe. All I can add is my thankful witness. It is enough, a perfect addition of appreciation. This is how today's day begins. Shams says, "I share this word painting that your day may be blessed too." Sign in to see full entry.

Children of the Earth and Sun

Children of the Earth and Sun You, my friend, are a child of the earth and sun. The fascinating thing is this: We share this parentage with every living creature. Less apparent, perhaps, is the ongoing activity of love making. Observe the green beings reaching upward toward the sun. Feel sun's blessings on your skin. Without this earth; without this sun, Life would not exist. Even the rocks dance with life. This dance has been a blessing from the beginning of time. This symphony of life's...

Charles Manson

The summer of 1969 Charles Manson declared that he was Christ, returned. that a race war was eminent, Not satified with that, he convinnced his devotees to commit heinous murders of innocent souls. Dear friend, do not think to separate yourself in self-righteous judgement. There is a Charlie in each of us. Do not be fooled; we are the ones we fear and the ones we love to...

Blessed Are the Poor

Blessed Are the Poor Matthew said, 'blessed are the poor in spirit.' Luke, describing the same event, said, 'blessed are the poor.' Both are true. Today, the poor are abused and used by our system of greed. We would do well to remember this: that in God/dess's economy, the poor hold a special place. Let us not forget Christ's story of Lazarus and the rich man. Why do we make it twice as hard for those struggling materially, to get a leg up? We give easy credit to those who already have more than... Sign in to see full entry.

Nightmares Are a Gift

Nightmares Are a Gift Nightmares are God/dess's gift to bless you. They wake you with a start. You made up these horrors merely to grab your attention. Do not fear looking at their message. Do you need to make a shift? Do you have a dream, unfulfilled? Is there an issue to address? Spend some time with this night drama. Let it reveal its truths. You are the writter, director of your movie. Ask your soul to unpack your scenes. Commit to act on the night's revelations, and truth will open to you.... Sign in to see full entry.

Skin

Skin I was suning myself after a swim. Suddenly, I really experienced my skin. I could feel the warming sun, I felt breath flowing back and forth through every pore. I could almost feel the vitamin D being manufactured. The largest human organ, this skin is a miracle. When wounded, it works with blood and air to form a scab, a manufacturing facility to close the wound and knit itself back together. This skin can sense he slightest touch, and subtles of tempurature change. This skin desires your... Sign in to see full entry.

Remembering Young

Remembering Young I have a young man staying with me these days. So, I could not help remembering my younger days. I remember joy-fuled days of young enthusiasm, bad decisions, and life revisions. And, I remember days of deep depression and angst. Then, there was the breakdown with its crazy days and sleeplessness nights. The good news is this: I lived past those days of being young, Lessons learned, I grew into the awesome being before you, Shams says, "if you are hurting now, relax into these...

Drizzle

Drizzle The rain is falling gently, this pre-dawn. The earth is receiving mucho rain as it caresses Her slowly. The rivers, being already over full, requested this restful rain pace. All Life is storing up this agua for hotter times. I am learning how to walk between the droplets. I have become the wind. I am dancing to the symphony of morning bird song. Shams says, "May I have this dance?" Sign in to see full entry.

Breeze Before Dawn

Breeze Before Dawn I Can Hear the breeze in the trees across the street. The Buddhist prayer flags across my front porch dance with this invisible partner. As if cutting in, the now silent breeze, kisses my face. Pilgrim, you have heard of the breeze at dawn? This is the night breeze before dawn. Its secrets are deeper yet,.... and quieter. I, in my rocker, move to its silent beat. I have fallen to the place where, resting in my Creator, makes all circumstances the same. They are just my... Sign in to see full entry.

Something's Amiss

Something's Amiss Hey! Something's not right. Can you feel it? Manifesting as an emptiness in the center of your heart, This dis-ease is no phantom. Nor is it real. You are merely looking in the wrong direction. Repent, Friend. Turn and witness the perfection which surrounds and infuses you. Look with these new eyes. Look and see with these eyes of Love. See the harmony and beauty which surrounds and infuses you. Shams says, "Rejoice that you are held lovingly, in the Hand of God/dess." Sign in to see full entry.

When the Road Seems Long and the Way Is Hard

When the Road Seems Long and the Way Is Hard Face it, friend. Sometimes life is a struggling pain, a seeming cruel game.

In your darkest hour, take a moment to feel this breath of life filling and revivifying you. If you return here often enough, you will discover the Light that has never left you.

I Am a Simple Man

I Am a Simple Man On this, my seventy second revolution around our Sun, I have stopped struggling to BE something. I have finally begun to accept that I was molded in my Mother's womb to be a perfect me. God/dess created me to be best for All. My only assignment here is to clear all that hides my naked pristine Self. Shams says, "I let my light shine, that Creator may be glorified for such Beauty." Sign in to see full entry.
