DANCING IN THE LIGHT

Dancing,, dancing in the light
Makes one's life so shiny bright
Hearts expanded, love gold-banded
Shades of magic in the night

Dancing, dancing in the light
Heavenly music of such might
As Bach or Chopin, Mozart too
Waltzing to the Strauss in sight

Dancing, dancing in the light
Rising to the magic height
Topping Everest with our steps
The rising sun is sparkling bright

Dancing, dancing in the light
Let us do this day and night
Always being light and free
On the rainbow healing light

Depth of wonder burning bright
Shades of magic in the night
Taking one beyond the limit
Dancing, dancing in the light

THE SUNNY HEART

The heart it smiles just like the sun
It jumps for joy when having fun
With much delight it shares around
All its love it gives profound

The sunny heart is so much pleasure
To be around in times of leisure
Yet also too it seems to soothe
And life is lived completely smooth

Radiant heart of golden peace
Surrounding all it gives release
From all the trials that life extends
The peaceful heart doth make amends

The smiling heart it seems to say
Come peacefully with me and play
At life and let the soul renew
The beauty perfectly to view

A golden heart is ever light
The countenance so ever bright
The smiling heart it seems to say
My joy you see, this is the way

MOVING MOUNTAINS

Like the ant commumity
We're being encouraged
To work together
Co-operatively, patiently
Moving forward
Shifting mountains
As a team in harmony
We, the race of humans
Are, like the ants
Coming together more
And more, in harmony
Love and peace to be
The change in order
That the change becomes
Manifest in form more
And more, moment
By moment; as the ants
Teach through example
Let us too share more as
The ant community
Patiently, co-operatively
In communion, as one
Moving mountains

GRACE IS HER NAME

Grace is her name
Grace is her game
Grace in the heart
Her quality in frame

Grace for to be
Grace for to see
Grace is the beauty
Sharing the glee

Grace is serene
Grace never mean
Grace is so calm
A wondrous gleam

Grace be the aim
Grace joy proclaims
Grace from above
Forever remains

Grace.... you're beautiful

PURITY OF HEART & MIND

Purity of heart and mind
Worthy aim within to find
Observing carefully what is thought
Feelings to in time be caught

A thought creating future life
Best be one not causing strife
Feelings also best to be
One's of love and harmony

The pure heart is full of grace
A loving, kindly, gentle space
A mind that's clear will ever see
The truth as it should really be

Mind as one creates with ease
Living life becomes a breeze
Adding then a heart of love
And so within is as above

Vesting in this pure aim
Becomes a joy for all to claim
A pure heart, a pure mind
Pending future peaceful kind

Pure intent to gratify
End result will testify
Purity of heart and mind
Worthy aim within to find

EMBRACING THE GOOD

Embracing the good
Let go of the rest
This now has become
The challenging test

The time is now ripe
The mind to renew
For in not doing so
Will see truth askew

The image of God
We are so it seems
The god of us all
The god of our dreams

This image is real
Its time for to be
Manifested as form
The truth for to see

If God equals good
Then why do we wander
We are all there is
No more time to squander

The good is divine
This image is ours
Lets claim for to be
The magic it flowers

Embracing the good
Let go of the rest
This now has become
The challenging test

RESPECT

What is respect
But walking the talk
For talking the walk
Is no more than squawk
We seem to demand
Of others to be
As we would expect them
And like them to be
Yet unless we are like
That which we command
'Tis no more than falseness
So no more demand
Respect it is earned
By example not talk
As others they see us
Walking our walk
So rather than talking
Let's get on with being
The respect then is earned
The result in the seeing
So what is respect
But walking the talk
For talking the walk
Is no more than squawk.

OUR STORY ABUNDANCE

If poverty be his story
Then wealth must be her story
That being so
Then there's one way to go
The truth therefore is
Let's get past the fizz
The idea is sharing
The process then caring
So no more redundance
Our story abundance

INDEPENDENCE

True independence
Is inner dependence
To be self-reliant
No longer reliant
No longer in need
At last one's own steed

Outer dependence
Stifles transcendence
Control and condition
Resulting rendition
The basis is fear
No longer adhere

Inner dependence
Results in transcendence
Life then is victory
The past now is history
The moment is now
Result being wow

Acceptance renditional
Love unconditional
Life lived in freedom
Peace in the kingdom
True independence
Is inner dependence

LIFE'S PROCESS

Life
A process
Day, night
Orderliness
Methodical
Rhythmical
Sun up, down
Moon new, full
Spring, summer
Autumn, winter

MANY PERCEPTIONS

It can be said
That all is perception
How we see the truth
What is right for me
May not be for you;
Consider this:
I think therefore I am
Or - I am therefore I think
Maybe - All there is, I am
Or - I am all there is
Perhaps -I am therefore you are
Or - Your are therefore I am
Then - I am or Your are
The sum total of
My or Your thoughts
Or -My or Your thoughts
Are the sum total of me or you
Even - All is One, al-one
Or - One is All, all-one
So where does this leave us
On the journey of truth?
Right where we are as
All just is as it is; any moment
Any time, any how, anyway
In being who or what we are
And allowing others
The same privilege
No judgment, no comment
Just loving acceptance
Of self and others being
As you and they are
Yet with understanding
That all is well and
As it should be;
No need to change the world
That is happening anyway
As is our own world
No need to do, just be in
A happy knowing that
All is well. All just is
Freely being without doing
All is all. That is all.

PATIENCE - LET IT BE

What is patience?
Patience is waiting
Allowing, giving
Accepting, observing
Watching as life happens.
Solitude; on one's own
Being together separately
At one with oneself
Yet with all else together
Patience is allowing life
To progress as and when
Flowing with the river
Not against the tide
So, what is it with patience
That it causes so much strife?
Why is it that we allow
Others to bother, concern
Burn us deep inside?
In truth there is nothing
That needs concern us
None of our business in fact
Except how it reflects upon
Us as ourselves mirrored
Patience - allow things to be
All is well after all; nothing
Need be different than it is
Why then do we concern
Ourselves with making it
To be as we want it to be?
Comfort zones perhaps?
Not wanting to change?
Patience, let it be
So said the Beatles
Very wise words....
Let it be, let it be
Patience. All is well.

THE INNER VIEW

The camera takes an inner shot
Of love upon the heart
And then it turns and sees another
View, so then it starts
It snaps the soul in joy, and then
The inner child at play
It sees so many wondrous views
It then decides to stay
The inner view, a lovely sight
E'er worth the film exposed
A careful focus, then a click
Another pic reposed
The inner view so beautiful
So worthy of record
The inner smile, a heart of love
Whoever would be bored
By photos joyful, peaceful scenes
Of inner beauty taken
No longer hidden, now out there
Whoever would be shaken
The scenes of inner wonder are
A timely sight to see
The inner eye recording all
As it should really be
So let the camera record all
Posterity of past
The now for to the future comes
Its time to have at last
The video cam recording
A published landscape view
Of inner mysteries now becoming
Known to all so true
The camera takes an inner shot
For all eternity
To see it all - a life of love
And grace and dignity.

A LOVE LETTER

Dear One,

I love you…

Life is a journey which when shared with another of like mind is a splendid and blissful experience. The heart of the matter is love, and that is the expansive essence within us all which when shared can explode into all the wonders of the mystical, the omnipotence, the glory, the beauty – heaven (or haven) on earth, so to speak…….

Heaven is what we have when we let go of all restrictions and in gay abandonment live in the moment of ecstasy. We can explode in its fullness and experience or we can pull back and remain in the limitations of the old… why do we do that? Fear perhaps, desirous of staying in our comfort zones, wanting to be not seen to be different.

But pushing limited boundaries aside brings us to the innocence and purity of all there is within each of us. We must continue to push, to explore, to experience, to feel, to love all there is in its entirety to the ends of the earth and beyond.

Feelings are the powerful vehicle which allow us to “go for it”, to be our most beautiful selves, to see for ourselves the beauty in another, the sharing of what we are and who we are and in doing so, letting the explosion of life be experienced in the oneness of sacred union, with life, with self, with each other.

Feelings are the moment of truth; they can be so pure and potentially overwhelming. The warmth, tenderness, caring and sharing are all part of the expansive mood. It can fairly be said that neither have been here before and that could cause fear, enough to want not to go further…. But why not… further and yonder and farther and future all in the moment. Oh such pleasure if only we have trust in each one to go the whole journey.

Trust is the security blanket which protects us with a knowingness that all is well despite appearances which may attempt to say otherwise. It envelopes one like the arms of a loved one who graces one with the surety of peace, of contentment, of knowing that all is well.

All is love and in that there is only one course and that is of course more love. A bursting heart and soul is desirous of sharing this love in an outward expression of sacred physical union, and all that that permits.

Distance is eliminated by the sharing of minds and hearts and the communication through these vehicles the perfection of the other, as well as acknowledging the perceived imperfections also. In these perceived imperfections is the opportunity to learn to accept the other but also to see the gift presented to honour one’s own beauty being expressed in mirror fashion.

Oh the glory and the gift that is being experienced at this moment. I give thanks with every cell of my being for such a heavenly opportunity, the love, the joy, the beauty, the warmth, the laughter, the happiness… all part of a wonderful journey of love and life.

I ask the other to be blessed by what is happening. God only knows where the road may lead….. home perhaps… but what is home anyway?

Home is a state of mind, of heart, of soul, of love. It is the ultimate expression of contentment, happiness… it is where the heart is. So home is more than a physical structure. And the ultimate home is where two become one. So sacred is that it is mind blowing, it is powerful, it is …….all there is…….

Let the blessing of the true home bless each one in this journey of oneness. Home sweet home.

Again I give thanks from all of my being to all of yours

In sweetness and joy and love

I am,

Yours.
