If you let God speak through your Heart, what must be done, will be done.

He will give you the Strategy.

I Only Hold the Light


I only Hold the Light. 

Do you see this flame I carry in my hands?
Do you see this fire that rises from the depths of my palms?

This is Light in my hands. 

I can only hold the Light. I do nothing else. 

My hands cannot hold swords or daggers or
pens or weapons while I hold this Light. 

I am occupied all Day, all Night

holding this Light. 

Even if you come at it, you will not be able to destroy it.

A knife cannot slash this Flame. You cannot murder it. 

This is Light in my hands. 

I only Hold this Light.

Simple Thoughts of Gratitude

Sometimes my heart fills with so much Joy,
so much Felicity,
Ecstasy,
I can't help fear that my chest will split open.
and that I may die of Happiness.

Once in a while, I stroll down the hiking paths of nature and
I ask God what I have done to deserve these Eyes -
eyes that have the ability to see the majesty of Mother Nature,
the splendor of Life's Roses and Thorns.

What have I done to earn the total Bliss that comes from
listening to birds sing songs of Tranquility.
beneath every leaf and stone I turn over on the ground with the
toe of my shoe, I find a Love Offering -

No matter what Path I choose in this Life,
no matter how long it takes toward my Goals,
I know I can always take a break at the roadside.
I can stop and sit for a time on a boulder and
watch the Sun set in the Mountains.

Maybe I can ask the Horizon for a story.

Most importantly, I know I can kiss the clouds with the
glimmers of my eyes and say a prayer of Gratitude.

For at the end of every long journey, there is another
yet to be started.

And as I near the end of a Journey of a long Dark Night,
I rest in Peace on a rust-colored Boulder and
say from deep within the crevices of my ancient Heart -

Thank you.

A Lightening of the Spirit

Wisps of onyx hair waving wistfully in 
ivory breezes.

Brows of pearled blossoms arching coyly in 
chromed curves.

Lavender-jade eyes squinting softly at 
silver glaciers.

Caramel-amber skin glistening divinely on 
opal snows.

Amethyst-ruby lips grazing truffles and 
copper chocolate.

Curious silent toes skimming tips of 
emerald stones.

Rays of saffron sapphires falling gently on 
topaz irises.

Trickles of diamond dust settling gingerly on 
sable lashes.

Joy

Whose tears am I crying?

I wonder whose thoughts are in my mind.

This joy that I feel – 

is it mine?
Or is it yours?

It feels like it might not matter whose 
tears or thoughts or joy it is.

It's as if some God out there 
ripped our bodies to shreds,

took our minds and 
cracked them open as if they were 
coconuts.

There is only Light shining through.

Let's Laugh.
Let's Love.
Let's Celebrate.

Let's Live.

Stillness

Why, God, a life of such blessing.

Amidst the blunders of persona and the
blood and bones I am,

You love me.

I trample on paths strewn with blemishes yet
You bestow wishes from within.

from the frailty of my choices and the
threads of reasoning I cling to,

You lead me,
 
through the mazes of mind and 
follies of soul.

Justice

Justice isn’t delivered in the Courts.
Justice isn’t delivered in Temples or Churches.
Justice is not delivered with your ego.

The Universe Delivers Her Justice.

You will bow down to the Universe.

We will bow together.

We are Not Any of this

We are not our life situations.
We are not our bodies' turmoil. 
We are not an obsessive strategy. 
We are not karma's tragedy. 

We are not this arduous journey. 
We are not our heart's craving needs. 
We are not the minds' love triangles. 
We are not some dirty poverty. 

We are not an authority's expectation. 
We are not a lover's whims. 
We are not a culture's histories. 
We are not a religion's offspring. 

We are not the ego's disastrous conflicts. 
We are not a collection of sins and bones. 
We are not this world's suffering and sorrows. 
We are not an identity yet to be followed.
 
We are something Beyond.

All of Us.

I am Not Any of this

I am not my life situation. 
I am not my body's turmoil. 
I am not an obsessive strategy. 
I am not karma's tragedy. 

I am not this arduous journey. 
I am not my heart's craving needs. 
I am not the mind's love triangles. 
I am not some dirty poverty. 

I am not an authority's expectation. 
I am not a lover's whims. 
I am not a culture's histories. 
I am not a religion's offspring. 

I am not the ego's disastrous conflicts. 
I am not a collection of sins and bones. 
I am not this world's suffering and sorrows. 
I am not an identity yet to be followed. 

I am something Beyond.

Mermaid

Deep within the glimmers 
of my Eyes,
 
swims a Mermaid in 
Cosmic Oceans, 

who sees his Mystic Shadow,
secret and probing,

hidden in
distant Waters.

Prayer

~ I rest my tired heart at the
feet of destiny and pray that
I be led to the shores of love in
peace and tranquility ~

I don't remember who I was yesterday.

I know not who I will be tomorrow.


All I know is that a guitar plays next to me, its strings playing in my heart.

And as I clap my hands in palmas and feel the beat of the cahon beneath me,

I know that this is all I need.


This is my utterly magnificent peace.

This joy is beyond words.
You're not scared of me.

You're not scared of what I create.

You're not scared of the consequences.

You're not scared of getting hurt.


You're not scared of dying.

You're not scared of living.

You're not scared of sorrow.

You're not scared of unhappiness.


You're scared of your Self.
You're not hiding.

Don't delude yourself.

Everyone can see You.
