It has been a loooong time

Bright Blessings!

I feel I must apologize to those of you out there who follow my blog of ramblings and inner thoughts. I have to admit that no matter how hard I try I have issues igniting my creative side in the late Spring and Summer. I am one of those who is most inspired in the fall, winter and early spring. Strange as it may seem, LOL.

Now that the energy has shifted and we are heading toward the darkening time of the year. I feel my inner muse awakening.

I hope to write some inspirational poems, articles, and ramblings for you to enjoy. My ultimate hope is that you too will become inspired to follow your heart.

Have a great evening out there in cyber space and I hope to have something for you soon.

Spring time come and with it the Sun.

Spring time come and with it the sun.

The light within is burning bright as we dance by the fires at midnight.

Peace and stillness that I find brings me close to heart and mind.

Truth be near as I seek my path within the trees. Divinity within I seek to please.

The light within is burning bright as we dance by the fires at midnight.

Spring time brings a sense of peace and urgency. In my heart the words I kept, as inspiration once slept.

Spiraling power let it grow, the inner Magick that I know.

God: Universal Power, Universal Influence, and Universal Teacher.

I do not think of God as a being, or one who resembles the personality and emotions of a human. God is absolutely more than that!

God is a Universal power. One who knows all, see all, and understands what really matters. I find God in every form, male, female, animal, plant, and mineral. God is Goddess, and Goddess is God. A Universal power filled with love and hate, peace and chaos, creation and destruction. Universal Power is well balanced, serving the greater plan. Someday we might understand this plan, but not just yet.

I leave my fears, worries, and needs in the metaphoric hands of the Universe, as I know it will provide what I need when I need it. I do my best to live in each moment, fully. I strive to remain a positive beacon of light, which will absorb and create more positive change in my life as I live my life wholly and freely.

    The Universe knows my limits, my strengths, and my weaknesses. I will be tested as I am given the opportunity to grow. I will be encouraged to step outside my "comfort zone", where I will be shown a new level of existence and harmony with the Universe. There will be times when I question what I believe. There will be times when others challenge my beliefs and ideals. As these questions and challenges take to my path, I will indulge them and I will grow stronger on my path as I am led to my greatest potential.

I will refrain from judging others who judge me as I walk my path. I will remain true to the one who matters most on my path. This is my own journey.

Positive change and growth is my mantra. I will speak it when I rise. I will remember it as I make my way through each day and I will speak it again before I sleep.

Live Each Moment

The present moment is all that matters. The past does not... The future does not.

What you experience here and now, feelings, thoughts, and judgments, are all up to you.

Our perceptions are colored by our thoughts. The endless inner chatter that floods us and takes over is what clouds our true ability. Once we take back the present moment, we begin to understand what we lost.

Everything depends on us, as a collective. We are united if we choose. We are one people searching for the greater good, if we so choose!

If we choose to love instead of hate, we be it!

If we choose to help instead of hinder, we will achieve it!

If we choose flexibility over rigid uniformity, we will become tolerant of one another.

If we choose peace over violence, we will at last become peaceful.

The answer is in each moment as we experience them. As we live each moment, we have renewed and endless opportunity.

Nothing matters, except this moment, right here and right now. The past does not... the future does not. Here and now is where it all begins.

Coffee and Clouds

As the sun struggles to peek through the clouds, I find myself thinking deeply about many things. I think thoughts of community, friendships, heartaches, spirituality, relationships, and more. In my thoughts, I find myself questioning why people and community are so important to me. I wonder this because more than enough times my fellow patrons of this community have slashed me, discarded me, spoken ill about me, and worst of all… the closest of those to me have abandoned me.

So why should this community mean something to me? Why should I care? Why do i continue to reflect and ask?

The answers are fleeting like puffs of cloud racing on the wind. With my coffee warm in my hands, I hold it hoping the warmth will stir the answers within, bubbling answers fourth like a tasteful drink of clarity.

Reflection is a necessary evil when one wants to grow. Sometimes the reflection can be negative in nature, but if allowed it will open the reflectors eyes to new possibilities previously over-looked. It is important to remember how we obtain balance... without light we would not have dark. Without sadness we would not know happiness. A continual ebb and flow is necessary when finding balance and maintaining balance.

Each of us is a being in himself and a being in society, each of us needs to understand himself and understand others, take care of others and be taken care of himself. ~Haniel Long

Warrior of Light

I am open
I am seeking
Light come to me
As I sleep
As I walk the plane of mist and visions.
Light visions let me see with my willing heart.
From darkness I emerge into another life
Surrounded by the veil covered by my tears
Light break through the darkness
I am a warrior of peace
I am a warrior of light
I am a warrior who moves beyond time
Peace come to you from your inner womb,
sooth me away from doom
Come to the brilliance and away from despair
Come to me your soul I shall prepare
