Reflection of the Heavens


Every cell in our bodies has a
sun
moon
and stars

We are the universe

This personal universe corresponds with our external one
We are mere reflections of the heavens

The Beach Meditation


Soft ocean breezes against my cheek
My body is filled with salty ocean air as I inhale
I am invigorated
In front of me is a turquoise ocean painted upon a turquoise sky
A white Adirondack chair catches a graceful scarf swaying in the ocean breeze
I twirl with my arms out from my side feeling free and light
I can feel my laughter rise
I walk towards the chair
Sit there for a moment and feel kissed by the sunlight
I feel the warm, white sand beneath my feet
Breathe
I feel my heart beat and listen to it synchronize with each wave’s crest
I can see and feel the earth’s heart beat  
I stand and walk towards the ocean
Entering the warm ocean waters
I float and concentrate on my good health
I am free and calm

Unleash Our Burdens


Happiness starts with gratefulness.
Unleash our burdens into this warm summer’s breeze.
Hear its whispers on the treetops.
Feel its motion on our cheeks,
in our hair,
in each nostril as we breathe.
Let our thoughts find their home...
A place of forgiveness, peace, serenity and joy
A place of compassion and true love.

Waiting For My Guru


And I wait for my guru...
Is my teacher the breeze in the treetops?

Swaying, swaying, saying
follow your natural flow
interact with what surrounds you
loose and easy
calm and graceful

Endless Ripple


My child’s love is the seed falling into the pond
causing an endless ripple through my soul
transcending time and space.

forever in the hearts
of her children

Meditation Conclusion


As I end my meditation:

I open my hands and feel a soft, pure light enter through the palms of my hands which enables me to feel the warmth from all that I have ever touched.

Then I touch my hips and let myself feel proud of who I am and what I believe in, as I stand tall.

Then I touch my heart and let myself feel a greater ability to love with each beat of my heart.

Then I touch my head and let myself feel a greater ability to think clearly and wisely.

Then I raise my hands above my head and can feel my highest power raising me with a greater sense of hope, faith and compassion.

Be thankful for all.

Then I open my eyes to the light of a brand new day.

Marriage



Marriage is woven in yarns of give and take
even though the hues may differ greatly
together a beautiful tapestry is created

contrast enhances its design 

children are the threads that bond each stitch
strengthening the fabric
enriching us with a deeper sense of love and joy

G-d's Love


G-d’s love is
within the soft white ray of light
which warms our bodies
and enables us to see all the beauty which surrounds us,
from the gift of hope within each morning’s sunrise
and the gift of passion within each evening’s brilliant sunset
to our joyful feelings
within the summer’s lush grass carpet beneath our bare feet
and the spring awakening of gentle flora and fauna,
all calming our very soul.
G-d is everywhere. G-d’s love is everywhere.

Embrace

Note: I was on vacation for 2 weeks this month and was unable to post. Now I am happy to return to my daily posting. The journal continues...

Each religion has a gift to offer mankind.
May we embrace them with honor and respect.

Israel



I have come to you like a child must run to its mother
You are my refuge
You give me hope

You make me feel peace
Yet as I
Stand
At this meditation spot
Even though there is talk of disease, vermin and hunters
I still come to you

The mosquitoes may bite my ankles
Ticks may be in the brush
There may be a rapid animal in the forest
I may even hear the wushhh of a hunter's bullet in the distance

I still come to you

Oh Israel
There may be terrorism
There may be fear
There may be suicide bombers

Yet I still come to you

For when I look upon your waters
Jordan River
Dead Sea
Sea of Galilee... 

I feel your love and peace emanating from the earth
within
each beat
of
my
heart

A Stone's Tale of Woe


I was taken from a gurgling stream and
brought for the sake of beautifying a human’s landscaping to their front lawn
  
I am situated next to an oak surrounded by pebbles, mere fragments of my brothers and sisters
I yearn for the rushing waters of yesteryear which have molded me into what I am today
I listen to the land as it shares with me its stories from its of wild trees, grass, bushes and flowers to Stories of Native Americans, European Americans, present day
 
I listen patiently but in my heart I long for my brothers and sisters
I miss the flowing stream
Yet I wait patiently with
hope
that one day the waters will come and reunite my family once again

First*


If I only knew one thing
it would be...
 
never leave your seeds
without nurturing
them first
