HEALING WATERS

Way up in the ether's above a brilliant spark of light flashes. From this flash forms a single droplet of crystal clear water.  The droplet is motionless at first yet it falls gracefully to a lagoon of water directly below it which is encircled by a sheer rock wall bathed by a bountiful waterfall and surrounded by a densely forested jungle.  A simple peaceful and pristine watering hole in a tranquil lush forest paradise.  At the center of this small warm lagoon you float in complete acceptance of the love nature has to offer on this magnificent day. The gift from the heavens falls to its destiny cascading unto the silent water below causing a ripple of to spread outward caressing all the waters edge.  The energy transpires from water to land harmoniously and echoes a clarion call to action of all surrounding life forms.  The blades of glass slowly begin to sway back and forth.  The petals of flowers begin to flutter.  The leaves begin to shimmer.  Creatures begin to crawl in unison.  The birds bellow out beautiful melodies.  Delicate animals arrive adding they're individual melodies and healing energies forming a collaboration of deer, rabbits, and squirrels joined together in perfect harmony creating a masterpiece orchestra emanating a celestial resonance radiating an immense harmonic magnitude throughout the woodlands focusing their vibrations into a crescendo of pure loving energy transforming the lagoon into a perfect healing pool blanketing every part of you in it's tender embrace caressing and washing away all transcendence and lightening your entire essence unto higher states of grace and a peaceful and blissful existence.

 

THE FOREST
Sparkling rays of light cascade ever so softly down upon the still earth gently warming everything they touch.  The branches and leaves reach skyward in earnest of every ounce of the life sustaining energy provided from the heavens above.  The evidence of this richness abounds deeply among the growth all around me.  Time stands still in this heaven on Earth.  As far, low, and high as the eye can see all has been touched from the life force from afar.  The roots are deeply dug and the trees stand tall and powerful as they grow in awesome proportions.  Over the years from seedling to towering giants have the redwoods grown.  Their density is tremendously thick and solid yet soft and tender to the touch.  They stand to resemble what has long been lost but still remains unseen amongst us.  We learn the lesson that great power, size, and massive density may truly shine in unison with the humbleness, softness, and tenderness of true beauty.  The majestic beauty that endlessly surrounds me in all directions shows how all things combine cohesively together as one from individual integration.  Everything has its place in this natural masterpiece.  The cool water trickles continuously on its path to no end.  The multicolored rocks stand motionless as the splattering streams caress them.  The fallen ancients slowly disintegrate providing richness for the soil so that others may replace them again someday.  Within the chilly and damp shade beneath the fallen giants are little signs of life reaching towards the brilliance from up above. One may stand here in silence and behold pure peace and tranquility in all that is beautiful.  The forest preaches for all to see that there is beauty in all things.  For in beauty one finds the true richness of all that is life.

A Force From Afar
It begins, far beyond the visible horizon, farther than any eyes are able to perceive.  The invisible force is created and thrust forward.  The journey begins in an instant and may travel great distances.  Along it's destined path the force travels at a constant rate touching vast amounts of the ocean.  Waves are created from this energy that has immersed from an indescribable void.  The energy progresses forward and is affected by winds, by gravity, and by the depth of the sea.  As the waves transverse they develop into a rage or simply transgress forward like a delicate summer breeze.  Eventually this energy must end its journey and be released.  The waves of great magnitude increase in size and fling off pieces of energy into what may be perceived as white caps to the onlooker.  The gentle waves continue on their set course as well and reach their own fate.  What happens when this force is transferred from one vessel to the next?  The water may slam into the sand and quickly retreat unto itself, or it may reach as far as it can across this new territory until it is naturally pulled back to begin again at this new frontier.  The sand embraces the water as it crashes and blankets each particle that is touches.  As the water caresses the sand, it turns moist and becomes softer over time.  We can experience the affects of this interaction between the sand and the great sea.  The end result is the shaping of the beaches we are honored to walk upon and are able to feel the softness and delicate creation this initial force has eventually created. We too have energy that begins far beyond our visible horizons.  Our energy travels far, along many paths that we cannot see but only may be able to feel.  Our thoughts, our emotions, our actions are like the waves of the sea traveling great distances ending up causing either a release of extreme force or gentleness.  We can affect others through this release.  We can create beauty, softness, and gentleness, or we can unleash a tremendous force and create havoc to those who we interact with.  May your seas be calm and always create beauty in all things you interact with.

Storms of Life
What is the journey of life but a never ending, ever-changing moment?  From one seamless moment to the next we exist.  In these moments we experience a multitude of thoughts, feelings, and emotions all ranging to opposite sides of their individual spectrum's.  In a moment of despair we feel fear, agony, and hopelessness all while thinking of the worst possible outcome.  Seemingly out of a void a blessing unbeknownst to us causes the tides to turn, the waves pour crashing in upon us, and the following calm sea wipes away all transgressions.  The resounding effects are similar to the eye of a hurricane where peace, stillness, and solitude reside, all while surrounded in what seems to be a solid wall of chaos.  Yes, we know the sun yet still shines brightly upon us in the eye of the storm and on the outskirts of the storm. In that blessed moment we find security, hope, and even a brief moment of bliss.  All aspects of existence are cohesive and yet posses integral individuality.  For would we not know the peace and tranquility in the middle of the storm if we had not transgressed through the storm?  A storm that tears at our very thread of existence, pulling and pushing us in ways unimaginable and even at times indescribable.  For words are limiting, are they not?  Right when we think the worst is at hand, the terror and fear subsides, and we are elevated to yet a higher level of existence.  In this new existence we can quietly reflect upon our previous experiences and honor what it has allowed for us, a new level of awareness, and an expansion of our very own singular yet multidimensional consciousness.  The journey takes us along a path of individuality, yet in truth are we not all but one?  As the relentless storms continue to rain down upon us in every aspect imaginable, we must hold close to the truth, the truth of our very own existence, the joy and love that we really are.  We must not let the fogs cover our eyes forever, but strive constantly to achieve clarity.  We must know that what resides within us is the warmth, the peace, the bliss and joy that is always there for us, in many shapes and sizes.  For we must be aware, always take note, and acknowledge all of existence and by doing so the truth shall be revealed in its own time.

Light of Love
On one side is darkness and on one side is light, but in the darkness light shall soon shine through.  Just as the Earth turns into the light, the light shall come forth and spread its warmth and love.  As we all go forward into the light, it blankets us,  it lifts us up into its sweet embrace  and fills our hopes, dreams, and joys.  As stars sparkle in the heavens,  as waves cascade onto the shores,  as winter withdraws and spring arrives with new birth, so shall the light of love always enter hearts that are open.  As the mountains are high, the ocean is vast, unto the ends of all the galaxies,  this eternal light starts from within and  grows brighter and more magnificent with  each and every moment.  Therefore, go forth, be a light unto the darkness and spread the love of all that you are  and blanket the world and rejoice together as one.

The Wonders of
the Night

The sun slowly sets and the moon begins to rise.  The twinkle from the stars grows brighter and brighter.  The day comes to an end and night slowly comes to be.  With the night comes a period unlike the preceding day.  Night brings forth a time of rest, a time for silence, and a time for wonder sanctified with the possibility of endless dreams.  As you lay there, drifting further and further away, your body becomes translucent and turns lights as air.  The worries of the day gone past fade fast away.  A new reality is upon you in this time of apparent motionless.  For as you lay there tender and gentle as a feather, you travel through time and space.  Your soul rejoices in the wonders of dreams dancing joyfully through the heavens absorbing love.  Your soul experiences rebirth and brings to you compassion, peace, and love.  You travel here, you travel there.  Images flash rapidly before you delicately and tenderly.  As the night fades away, light comes forth and presents you with a new beginning.  Rise as such like a phoenix from the ash and experience all the potential joy, love, and happiness before you.  Spread like wildfire that with which your dreams of love and light have filled you.  Be a light unto the darkness and see with true clarity forever more. 

Through the Eyes
of Babes

Wonderment is what prevails in their worlds.  With eyes as huge as saucers they look upon the world with great stretches of imagination, curiosity beyond limitation, and innocence as pure as truth itself.  Laughter, playfulness, and lightheartedness are attributes young children display so effortlessly portraying an essence that is most often forgotten but not lost from all for they are within us all.  A child's world is a kingdom in which we can transcend the austere aspects of life and reclaim our true beauty and purity that patiently awaits our remembrance of our greater self.  Reclaim the attributes of youth and aspire passionately to your hearts greatest desire.  Do not despair, nor be downtrodden by life's trepidations, for there is always hope.  Heaven shall manifest on earth.  Reclaim the innocence of youth and embrace its sweet purity.  By staying steadfast, withholding all judgment and honoring all things, one's own light shall evolve unto a crescendo of luminescence.  With the unwavering faith of a child, be forever resolute always seeking the higher choice of all potentialities.  Hold true to the course of compassion and understanding known solely from within.  Be a vanguard unto others, a beacon of light forever illuminating the way points along the pathway home for wayward souls.   For all shall ultimately blossom into a quintessential existence, an eternal state of grace.

Snowflake
One by one they fall, slowly turning,
spinning, and dancing through the sky.  An
orchestrated dance of beauty, yet a dance
of both similar and individual beauty.  Their
beauty is precise, pristine, and perfect.
One is not at all like the other. They dance
through the sky ever so gently, blanketing
the Earth with their perfection.  Everything
touched turns to pure white, a pureness only
revealed in true love. They bring a new
beginning, a new hope to all whom behold
their glory.  They transform the world into a
white winter world playground.  You too, are
a snowflake.  You have your own individual
beauty.  You are a light of brilliance unto
the world.  You bring forth love and all
rejoice in your presence and experience joy.
Go forth then, shine brightly for all the
world to rejoice.

Happy New Year
The birds sing, the sun's warm rays blanket the tender earth, and the air is cool and calm.  The world slowly rejoices as it stretches, yawns, and awakens to the age of a new dawn.  For, today, is not any ordinary day.  It is the day of new beginnings.  A day for new possibilities, new excitements, new joys, new pleasures, new wonders, for yes, today is the first day of the New Year.  The energy in the air is magnificent.  Loved ones speak to their beloved family members dear and near and also to those yet so far away, but close in their heart.  Deep from within springs outward a heartfelt message of joy and rebirth.  It is a message to go forth, take that which is before thee, and do wondrous things, for it is New Year's Day, "Happy New Year" they cry out and their love is set forth ever more from this day.  The hearts of many are uplifted as they gaze upon destinies horizon and reflect in awe of the potential to what may lay ahead whilst deep in their souls they know this year will be grand.  As they venture forth, they raise their spirits in anticipation of the wonders that are before them.  And, as you, one of the many beautiful and wondrous souls among us, I wish and pray that your New Year will bring forth all the beauty, wonder, peace, and joy that you desire and more.  I wish for you that this year will truly be a most blessed and "HAPPY NEW YEAR"

Conquering Fear

You stood atop a small sliver of rock, a mere cliff upon a mountain most high gazing upon the vastness before you.  For as far as your eyes may roam you see no end in sight.  The magnificent blue hue of the day sky is painted on the endless canvass above you.  Beyond your eyes reach is the horizon beckoning for you to come forth and explore.  A cool breeze is nudging you in all directions causing your hair to dance in an uncontrolled frenzy.  In all directions you perceive the creators grandeur in rolling hills and bountiful valleys filled with potentials yet to be explored but stood in doubt as how to reach such treasures.  Yet you stand on this edge whilst you look down and see below this cliff is a gorge with an unimaginable depth questioning as to whether or not there is an end at all and ponder how it is you shall traverse this unimaginable crevasse of angst and possible turmoil.  Though in a moment of uncertainty deep from within the core of your essence you called forth a most prominent strength that shall in some way carry you over that which appears impassable.  In the moment that you let faith prevail, a moment in which you bring forth trust in truth and allow acceptance to come forth you step unto this unfathomable void with resolute strength. You step forward unto the crevasse of the unknown and for this choice you are truly blessed.  The bantering wind subsides.  As if out of nowhere a path that was once invisible is presented to walk upon step by step and you are fully supported.  There is a peace that overcomes you that carries you aloft into a state of transcendental awareness with immense clarity and resolute knowing for you have now traversed the valley of fear.  A multitude of luminescent beings amass around you and blanket you with a most harmonious melody in majestic reverence further uplifting you into a state of grace for the path you choose to now walk.  You made a choice to let go, to trust, to accept, and for this you are truly blessed.  Up on high you shine as a brilliance that is magnificent to behold.  You radiate as a beacon of light enlightening for all a path of potential pointing towards home for if they so choose to perceive the magnificence that you have become and hopefully realize this exists as well within all so they can freely choose a grand path as well.  May your journey always be bright and may the winds of destiny carry you effortlessly upon the wings of love, peace, and joy henceforth and forever more.

I Am that I Am

I am the Captain of my own ship.
My vessel consists of interwoven mind, body, and soul.
I sail upon the seas of destiny with destination unknown.
My passion sets the course
of my compass,
Winds of potential caress my
sails of intent,
My heart assures my voyage is true,
My path is freely chosen and shall see all things through.
With precision I pierce any perils set forth by barriers of time,
For my purpose is assured with love from the divine.

The Beach

Motionless you stand whilst your feet ever so gently sink into the delicately soft warm sand.  Your eyes are open wide with steadfast wonderment as you gaze upon gods bounty that abounds all around this secluded and sacred spot on a world that may often seem to turbulent and steadfast to comfortably reside within.  Words fall vastly far from description upon that which you behold in this near perfect moment.  You gaze upon a vast body of water spanning unto the horizon delicately awakening and welcoming the warmth of the outstretched loving rays of a radiant morning sun.  Brilliant sparkles of golden light dance joyously in orchestrated unison upon a deep emerald green ocean.   Gentle waves emerge forth from the depths of the sea cascading towards a cauldron of froth and bubbles at its journeys end caressing the white sanded beach.  You walk forward unto where the warm sand meets the cold moist ocean and allow yourself once again to slightly sink into this blessed piece of paradise.  You close your eyes.  The warmth of the suns rays upon your skin begins to melt away any uneasiness throughout your body.  A light summer breeze whispers in your ear and playfully pulls ever so gently at your hair.  You decide to let go even further.  You sit down and lay back upon the delicate sand which humbly welcomes you in its warm sweet gentle embrace.   You lie motionless relaxing deeper as Mother Nature coddles you as a child of its own.  The fresh moist salted air helps to purify your lungs.  The warmth from the heated sands radiates throughout your being helping to release tension and turmoil transcending your mind and body into a state of immense relaxation and comfort.  The cascading water strokes your feet helping to release any further tension into the surrounding sands.  Upon complete relaxation the choir of bountiful blessed sounds of nature helps to rejuvenate and uplift your state of being. The ebb and flow of the gentle waves embrace you as a mother sways a baby in her arms singing a song of unconditional love.  The delicate whisper of the winds reminds you of the vastness and lightheartedness of your soul.  The entire yet simple experience transpires you into a cocoon of peace where in which you attain a state of transcendence and peace that radiates throughout your mind, body, and soul.  May the blessed rays of unconditional divine love from such a setting permeate your entire being and bring forth a new state of centeredness, bliss, and tranquility that surpasses any possible description.
