Breath More Life Than You Swallow

If it turned around and it made you smile,
Would you say it was all OK ?
Or would you change your mind,
Take your place in time and wait for another wave ?
If I was to say infinity,
Would you believe in the word itself ?
Or would you wait for a sign,
From the depths of your mind,
To remind that it means something else.
What if you said the word happiness,
And smile as you say it out loud,
Would it lift the weight ?
Could it change the fate of this feeling you have in you now ?
What makes you happy ?
Is it strength in numbers ?
Is it a quietness of mind ?
Is it making love under the moonlit sky ?
Is it running with horses ?
Is it bathing in wine ?
Whatever “it” is just give “it “ it’s time,
And then a smile will follow.
Whatever it is just give it it’s rhyme –
And breath more life than you swallow.
I know that it is hard not to point the blame,
It’s in our nature to complain.
I feel your pain – cause mine’s the same –
But if you were asked , could you give it a name ?
Or is it changed by time, like any good whine,
and forgotten the very next day.
Whatever the case – it’s a part of this place,
So I guess we all have to deal.
How you choose to let go,
Only you can know –
Only you decide what is real.

Spring

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

Percy Bysshe Shelley ~ " The Sensitive Plant "

When Love Matters Most

There is always something left to love.
And if you ain't learned that,
You ain't learned nothing.
When do you think is the time
To love somebody the most;
When they done good
And made things easy for everybody?
Well then, you ain't through learning --
Because that ain't the time at all.
It's when he's at his lowest and can't believe in hisself
'Cause the world done whipped him so.
When you starts measuring somebody,
Measure him right child, measure him right.
Make sure you done taken into account
What hills and valleys he come through
Before he got to wherever he is.

Lorraine Hansberry

An Open Message

On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You wont see us on the T.V.
You wont read about us in the newspaper
You wont hear about us on the radio
We don’t seek any glory
We don’t wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites ~ Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness…
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you choose to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don’t have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you choose to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open.

Let Your Own Light Shine

There is nothing enlightened
About shrinking
So that other people
Won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God
That is within us.
It is not just in some of us,
It is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously
Give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated
From our own fear,
Our presence automatically
Liberates others.

Marianne Williamson
