To feel the thrill of an unclouded vista
and not fear or fret about bombs
muddying the picture.
To imagine the grace that can light a heart
and not sink into despair
creeping in the dark.
To know that it ends all too soon
and not worry about the hours
spent staring at the moon.
To wonder about love and the hope it brings
and not take it for granted,
richer than kings.
To feed your mind before it slips free
and not become too sated.
Filled with awareness. How to be.
Exuberance
gushes
in a waterfall
of tranquil
zest.
Who can predict what will come into our lives at a particular moment, ready to bring a splash of colour? Who can foresee what marvels await? Who can foretell the wonders lurking around the corner? Who can prophesy the love that will arrive quite suddenly and flood every atom of our consciousness? In truth, no one can. We are all stumbling through the dark. When the light arrives, exult and treasure it with both hands. Life doesn’t withhold for those whose hearts remain alive to magic, alert to possibility, attentive to affectionate grace.
Loss
is inevitable
in life
but love
is the lifeboat
that will keep
the body
afloat.
In the eye of the cloud
there is a light
discard the chains
marvel in might
Thoughts are passing
sprung from the same well
be still, be soft
listen to the heart’s bell
Spirits will come
with gifts of gladness
unstitching the dark
soothing the sadness
Hug today
everything is change
root to flower
in a mellow exchange
Your radiance is a jewel that can never lose its lustre, if you care for it and pay heed to its intrinsic beauty. When you are happy with who you are, what you do, and the manner in which you astonish the world, then people will notice your light that glows and will be possessed with a hunger to replicate it. Never lose sight of the power you possess, for it is unique. You have immense gifts to offer, wherever you go. And when you combine your incandescence with another person, the magic you create will sustain and enchant you, for as long as you have breath. Brightness is your natural habitat.
To respond with care is one
of the most beautiful qualities
we can nurture. To ourselves,
to others, to the planet. Care
is at the root of what it means
to be human. Being caring and
attentive is an act of love. It shows
devotion to the wellbeing of our
soul, which is so critical to a life
well lived, filled with light,
vitality, and joy.
When you break it all down, you come to a peaceful awareness that it’s the little things in life that truly matter. Like the smell of grass on a fresh summer’s day; rain hammering on the roof at night while you’re safely inside, cocooned in a well of blissful ease; conversation that enriches the soul; the healing touch of a lover, any season, any time of the day; the twin gifts of sunrise and sunset; the thrill of reaching out and making someone smile; natural wonders that dazzle the senses; a job well done; dancing into a state of rapture; tapping into a carnival spirit where vitality reigns; loving this world and realising that this moment, right now, is as good as it gets. Simple pleasures rule.
As the sun rises with carefree rapture,
may its light fill you with deep gratitude.
As the breeze kisses the nimble trees,
may its freshness wrap you in a luminous calm.
As summer rain nurtures the dusty earth, may its reprieve imbue you with soulful presence.
As the sea mingles with the grateful sand, may the spirit of affection wash you with sacred longing.
As hope holds you like a lover’s caress, may your thoughts shimmer with unhindered brilliance.
As beauty welcomes you with unfeigned elegance, may the doors of desire remain attentive to the abundant gifts.
As the elements blend in contented grace, may your heart unfurl with peaceful passion.
As words touch you with wholesome longing, may you drink from the well of sweet devotion.
As joy flows through your trembling soul, may your mind stay open to the glistening moments.
As serenity bathes you in a tender embrace, may your body burble with radiant acceptance.
As blessings connect all that is to all that will be, may the love you receive be a beacon of bliss.
As your life bends to the shape it is destined to take, may your path be paved with playful delights.
As the sun sets with welcome relish,
may kindness remain your guiding star.
There comes a time when you feel the urge to truly let go. This isn’t “let go” in the sense of going completely untethered and dancing naked beneath a full moon. Though neither of those things need be considered nefarious actions. This is “let go” when you feel you have reached an equilibrium that you can jettison thoughts, ideas, people, emotions that have been troubling you. When it comes, you will know it. You will sense great waves of tenderness welling up from the pit of your stomach. You will sense a sun shining bright in the recesses of your mind. You will sense a breeze clearing away the debris that had been blocking your spirit. It is quite extraordinary. It is quite natural. It is exquisitely delicious. You will realise how nothing matters. You will also realise how everything matters. In essence, what you will realise, and this perhaps is the greatest truth that we can expose ourselves to over and over, is that once you let go, all that truly matters is this moment. Not what has gone before. Not what will come. But now. Always now. Infinity in the present moment. Awareness of grace. Awareness of serenity. Resting in love.
