A Call to The Spirit

Help me find enough love
to gift myself some slack

Help me see that I am
Enough every single day

Help me hold onto the sense
Of beauty surrounding me

Hold me close when I dive
Into my deep unending darkness

I fear at times I will
Forget the way out

I fear at times that I know not
What is truly good for me

Help me connect to Divine Love
When it sometimes feels like two ordinary words

Help me see love and kindness
In every direction regardless of swirling emotions

Bring me into a space of peace
When I cannot create it myself

Hold me in the Light
When I can only focus on the bitterness

Keep me safe from despair
And open to infinite grace

Be my partner in this life
When at times I feel alone

Heal my heart of continuing sadness
With gentleness and strength

Hold my hopes for delivery
Until I can manifest them myself

Grant me the next steps into the Light
I have been wallowing in darkness too long

The Heart of the Nation

The heart of the nation is raw
With fear and violence
Burning anger and rage
Beatings, smashing, and killings

And still we do not see
That we are part of the cause
We are the blinded ones
We are hiding from the darkness

We live in safe communities
And hope the discomfort
Quickly passes us by
With little disruption to our lives

Let others do the marching
Let others deal with the fall out
Surely this will “return to normal”
Sooner than later, as swiftly as possible

But the images are so bloody
What if we were one of those
Being singled out for our skin color
Being chased and killed through hatred

We want protections from this happening
We want everyone to make this go away
We want the cops to stop being racist
We want those killings to cease and desist

But it is not only the killings
It is living in abject fear of being singled out
Living with constant need to keep one’s head down
Every single day in public and never feeling safe

This causes entrenched resentment
Deep anger, righteous indignation
Mistrust and more segregated communities
Mistreatment for all while everyone lives in fear

When one among us is at risk
We are all at risk because we tolerate
Those among us who are at risk
And go about our lives as if we are separate

Nothing works when this is the response
No one learns to change, when isolated
No one practices compassion unless
Closeness is personal and meaningful

Beware, our feeling bad does not change a thing
The compassion felt from TV news touches no one
The shaking of one’s head and returning to normal
Leaves those at risk, still at risk

All have to stand for justice
For freedom, for goodness for all
For opportunities for all
For good systems available to all

This has to be the way forward
To stem the flood of sorrow and grief
Beyond simply patching up the brokenhearted
All have to banish racism in all forms

Then all become truly safe and whole
No other way works for all people
And so it is, for now and for always
With determined hearts, so it can be.

There is another reality you can know if you clear away the darkness
That energy is God energy, Love energy, Balanced energy
That energy is always present but when dissonance persists
You lose the connection and can begin to feel alone, unconnected

This spiritual reality can sometimes be seen in others
For you though, it can primarily be felt in your heart
That reality is Love vibrating larger than any other feelings
That Oneness energy is calling you to your own true self

Ah, the darkness you carry and the heartache you endure
This is all on the path to knowing Divine connection
Unless you struggle with your fears and angst, and win
The spiritual reality gets buried over by unhealed feelings and experiences

Connecting with The Oneness has to become a daily ritual
Like getting dressed, brushing your teeth, and having breakfast
Otherwise the repetitive irritations overwhelm your intentions to be at peace
The imbalanced thoughts and doubts overrun you as if they were real

The only lasting energy is Love, Kindness, Compassion and Divine Source
All else shows itself, masquerading as real, demanding your reactions
Commanding you to attend to the dissonance not because it is lasting
Because it is the way forward to Peace and a solid connection with Love

In the end though the choice is yours and yours alone
You can live your life with a lukewarm connection with Spirit
Hey! lots of people do this their entire lifetime, actually every lifetime
Or you can resolve to clear the persistent marauders out of your energy field

Faith and believing can carry you part way to Divine connection
You can stay there your entire life, lifetimes in fact, over and over again
Or you can face the bedeviling feelings within Sacred Space
And make progress in letting go of all your fears and doubts

Underneath the fears and doubts, is the Peace of All That Is
Truly it is always waiting for you to become better connected
So go into those negative self-perceptions you have and cast them out
Release the jealousies, the anger, the prideful comments, and accusations

Every single time you release some dark feeling that is temporarily demanding
You take a step closer to Divine Source, your consciousness of Divine Love expands
One negative released energy at a time, ad infinitum, continuously and
Through the fog, the Divine Love of self and others emerges out of the chaos

Face Your Fears

Face your darkness
As much as you don’t want to do it
Do it anyway
It is calling you to your own true self

There is an inner knowing
Of the goodness and of the darkness within
Holding onto the darkness causes illness
Sorrow, pain, heartbreak, and suffering

The only way out of the suffering
Is to face it down, command it out
Refuse to settle, name your fears
You are stronger than you can possibly imagine

You are made of the Oneness
Everything that is not going well
Is calling you to your own best self
To a different reality where there is peace

But you have to make the choice
For truth, determination, for love
And wholeness, some of every day
Don’t hide another day

Name the fears, one by one
Be ruthlessly honest with yourself
Do not take “I can’t” for an answer
Work daily to let one fear go after another

And work with Divine Source not against it
Name all that you are unhappy with
Call in the healing you need
Knowing it will come to you in perfect timing

If you are a beginner to this,
Give yourself some slack
Be sure to call in patience for yourself
Because this journey is eternal

Face the root fear of all unspoken fear
That your deepest fears are truly who you are
That if you go deeply you will find more darkness
That you are really profoundly flawed

Better to keep pretending
Because the truth will be awful
You might not be able to swallow it
You might drown while trying

Take a step back, this is truly inaccurate
Your set of fears is humanly created
They are illusions with no lasting heft
Merely thoughts you have given your power to

What awaits you is a new understanding of your magnificence
The unraveling of all fears and conditioning
The replacing of every single negative self perception
With profound grace and love for self and others

The fear you feel is the part of you
Calling for change, rebalancing
Re-centering, courage, and grit
Again and again, the call to your true self is eternal

You are more splendid that you can image
You have more love to give than you can ever grasp
Your life here is to discover the love that is your essence
Unearthing the fears reveal the doorways to lasting love and balance

Oh Wondrous Being!

Oh wondrous being, you are loved beyond anything you can imagine
It is hard to believe this when you have not experienced bountiful Love
Especially if you hurt, are grieving, feel mistreated and abandoned, or insufficient
Nonetheless, this Love is always accessible just outside your busy human self

Love is ever with you no matter what is happening to you or your loved ones
This Love created all that is beautiful, kind, imaginative, and lasting
This Love created you both in human form and in eternal formlessness
This Love continues to beckon you to go within and know unconditional Love

You may have to try repeatedly to enter that Silence within to receive
You have huge amounts of fear and dissonance that have not been attended to
You have an entire value system that daily values doing over being
You are perhaps fearful of what will be revealed and that it will be bad

However, this planet and all therein were created in profound Love
Even when you stray from this Love for eons, you still get the chance to heal
You are never abandoned even as you may be engaged in paying chronic debts
Even when you have rebelled against Love and Kindness for lifetimes

You are always being pointed in the best direction for you
You are always being given cues about what would serve you well
Even when you have taken the guidance and the experience was gut wrenching
You are always guided to where you need to grow and expand next

I know this from numbers of lifetime experiences all over the globe
I know this from thousands of hours in Silence clearing my own imbalances
I know this because I have lived in the depths of despair and risen
I know this because every time I have needed help, it has been given

The paths you need come when you decide to be kindness and seek peace
The people you need arrive when you clear all the fear and darkness you carry
The experiences you seek manifest when your inner dissonance disappears
The love you desire arrives when you know what you truly love about yourself

Being in the center of profound Love always calls you to your best self
Still you have to choose this repeatedly through your thoughts, words, and actions
You have to find the courage to face your good and not so good self
Activate your courage to trust that at your essence you are truly the Love you seek
