I Am Done

I Am Done I am done with pretending. I tire of those who are faking it. I long to meet you here, beyond right and wrong doing orthought. I was forewarned of your subtrifuge. I will not add to this drama that would make us separate. No on in their right mind would do that. I wander this earth, looking for souls awake. Life has become easy when games are ignored in favor of our unity in truth. Shams says,:Let’s dance in this tango of bliss.” Sign in to see full entry.

Awaken

Awaken Awaken, Sweet Heart. Your dreams seem sweet, But, the nightmare is just around the corner. Let those still deep in sleep, Get the rest they need. But, we saw you stirring And took pity. Taste this love and be glad your sleep is over. Of course, now you will be called on by love To help others awaken. Just remember, it is a sin to awaken Those who are sleeping deeply. Shams says, “Fill your cup with this fullness That comes with awakening.” Sign in to see full entry.

Words of a Sermon that No One Will Hear

Words of a Sermon that No One Will Hear I read the holy scriptures of all Faiths. I am preparing a sermon to myself. Dearest, you are welcome to listen in. If we fly high enough; If we dive deep enough, then these words will speak life. I am just the messenger. Must I be crucified for these words? Perhaps my silence would serve us better? Let those who have hearing ears rejoice in what they hear. These words from The Spirit of Guidance have birthed their own effect. Shams says, “Hey No One,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Want Nothing

I Want Nothing There is no thing that I want. Less desire is the game I play. There is no quid pro quo with the God/dess I serve. The ‘I’ that was always wanting has become a distant memory in the light of this Self that excludes nothing. There is no turning back, no desire to return to that smallness. I am the blessing Creator birthed here. Shams says, “Come near, that I may whisper this secret in your ear.” Sign in to see full entry.

Alone With You

Alone With You I am sitting alone In a rocking chair In front of our local café. Your face appears Before me, smiling. I hunger to taste Those sweet lips, again. Closing my eyes, You appear again, Naked and inviting. We make love For hours. We are still learning. Sign in to see full entry.

Sacrifices

Sacrifices Nature, the Original Scripture of God/dess, Has given us examples of sacrifices For the sake of Life, Truth, and Beauty. What Mother would not sacrifice her life For the sake of her offspring? And every tree that sacrifices itself To the lightening of a dancing Creator, Becomes sustenance for all denizens of the Forrest. All sacrifice is a blessing. I have accepted the path of sacrifice. I gladly accept this sacrifice of poverty For the blessing of playing my part In the incredible... Sign in to see full entry.

The Rock of Salvation

The Rock of Salvation Breath is the rock of my salvation. Chi is the currency of my realm. Sober Bliss is the light that directs my way. Love is the lens focusing my gifts. Hunger for The Almighty is my purpose. Peace is the friend knocking at my door. I am here on loan from Creator. Shams says, “Go forth into the world, Rejoicing in the power of The Holy Spirit.” Sign in to see full entry.

The Wholly, Holy Provision of Nature

The Wholly, Holy Provision of Nature Wholly, Holy, Only Thou art Holy. Heaven and Earth are full of Thy Glory. Thy Living Works, declare the Beauty of Thy Name. Beauty is our calling, beauty is our joy. Beauty is the Light that blesses our path ahead. And consecrates our past and Holy Present. Wholly,Holy, Holy Wholly; God’s power is our Might. Only Thou art Holy. And Glorious is the Beauty of Thy Name. We bow, to play Thy Game. This breath, in Joyful Thanks we rest. Shams says, “I cannot say,... Sign in to see full entry.

Allah Ho Akbar

Allah Ho Akbar Allah Ho Akbar, the most mistranslated Arabic phrase. Translated, ‘God is great!’, misses the mark and richness. God is the greatest is a bit closer, but still, not it. ‘Oneness is highest/greatest’, may begin to capture the sacred truth. There is nothing Beyond or other than Creator. Nothing outside of God/dess exists. Nothing of God’s can be threatened. Herein, lies the Peace that is beyond our understanding. Thus, it would be true to say, “Allah Akbar means Peace is power.” Sign in to see full entry.

The World Is Hungry For ….

The World Is Hungry For …. The world is hungry for sustenance safety peace joy life purpose I know a place where that is just what they serve. They took me in, a stranger in their midst. Every week, we gather to share a holy meal. The fellowship we share after is just as holy too. I guess we’ve kept it secret, cause seldom do we see hungry new faces looking to be fed. WHo’s in charge of the invitations? Shams says, “We all are.” Sign in to see full entry.

If You Ever Find Me Dead

If You Ever Find Me Dead If, three days from now, a friend discovers my body, please know I am at peace and in the moment of now. In this place, I rest in my Holy Breath. If this my wedding day, then celebrate my joy. Allow this Sacred Joy to heal our grief. Shams says, “This Love is Eternal.” Sign in to see full entry.

This Perfect Moment

This Perfect Moment You have arrived. Nothing more to do. Salvation has come to your house. This moment is perfect. Nothing to change, nothing to do. Watching in awe, the unfolding of this perfect moment. A thought intrudes, “How long can this moment last?” The desire to stay here has cast you out. This too, was necessary. The question birthed the desire to stay in this empty moment, this perfect, present moment. Shams says, “Be ye perfect, even as your Creator is perfect.” Sign in to see full entry.

Health Care

Health Care Profit has no place in human health care. It crucifies the very purpose of health care, to promote and ensure healthy humans. Is not health our birthright? Of course it is! Some would say, “We have gone down the profit path too far. It is too late!” No, everyday we continue down this flawed path we vote for dis-ease and against health. Let’s vote for humanity, not against ourselves. Shams says, “Universal Human Healthcare is our right.” Sign in to see full entry.
