Two Reasons.

Two Reasons

Two reasons for living

and two reasons for giving. 

Two reasons for hope

and my determination to cope.

Gods Grace.

God's  Grace. 

This life's an adventure, 

every split seconds, 

a part of our indenture. 

It's not a race to the finish,

it's a race to diminish. 

We get lost to the now, 

we've forgotten somehow,

that the only thing that's important,

is don't get lost to the moment. 

We must be aware and accepting, 

in every God given breath,

that there is only this instant,

no birth and no death. 

When we put G(od) in front of race,

then we'll receive God's Grace. 🙏 

When we put the G in front of race,

we can no longer feel...displaced. 

Give

The more that you give,

the more that you live. 

The more that you flow,

the more that you grow. 

The more you let go,

the more that will flow. 

The less that you crow,

the more that you glow. 

Born in Me (this truth has set you free)

Born in me,

your heart is finally free. 

There is nothing left to find,

 you've left your fears behind. 

In this moment trust your heart,

learn to be 

and play your part. 

There is nothing left to do this day,

just smile and laugh

and point the way. 

You're free to live your life out loud,

to shout and scream

and soar above the clouds. 

Nothing else matters

but how you treat each brief second. 

Live it and breathe it,

for your spirit has been beckoned. 

You can see past the traps,

that the ego has laid. 

And you've put in the footwork,

to see that love stays. 

Nothing else matters,

when only love matters. 

When only love matters,

then everything else scatters. 

You were born in Me,

this truth has set you free. 

You were born in Me

and you know this truths,
the key..!

Silence

The teacher sits in silence. 

His teaching is silence. 

And the disciples' doubts are cleared.

A True Mystic.

   A true Guru is beyond interpretation, because he is beyond explaining himself. 

   A true Mystic is beyond acknowledgement, because he is beyond being praised. 

   He is beyond protecting, for he no longer seeks protection. 

   He is one who is beyond suffering, for he no longer fears suffering. 

   He doesn't seek perfection, he lives it. 

  When you least expect an answer, he will answer you. 

  When you most expect an answer, the answer will be silence. 

  When you hear the words from within, "Why are you digging holes and hiding your secrets in them, when you could fly with me?" That is your Guru speaking to you. That is God speaking through you, urging you to awaken.

  Being with a Guru is like being in a shed at night with no light. You're looking for something that you really want. You keep looking and soon get frustrated, you're ready to give up and finally you cry out in exasperation. 

   The Guru appears with a light and solves your immediate problem, and you get what you want. 

Then begins the journey, for what you really need. 

Loves Moved In - the Pilgrimage.

As I flew above the phosphorescent, ultra violet clouds, high above the criss crossed Earth below, love filled every cell of my being.

I was overwhelmed with gratitude and peace, a blissful resignedness rested awhile, upon my soul. 

Our spiritual journey to India had opened my heart, wide open. I still can't find the words to properly express it. It doesn't matter, it's living it that matters. 

So many beautiful souls surround me and guide me. Nothing else counts but my thankfulness. 

Stories from Arunachala, Puttapharti, Isha  and Shirdi play out in my mind as I sit back with my eyes closed, in the darkened cabin. 

2 weeks had felt like 2 months, so many amazing experiences, packed into such a short time. 

Seeing every day as a pilgrimage, was my lesson, my practice. To be patient, to be trusting, to go inward and to accept everything equally. 

I was realizing that change was needed and that by filling my life with devotion, there would be no room for any nonsense. 

Total awareness in the moment at hand, was the key. With total awareness and prescence , here and now, I realized there could be no room, for the fear I have of suffering. 

As the planes wheels bounced across the tarmac and the brakes shuddered, struggling to slow the plane, I was jolted from my daydreaming. 

I've always been a dreamer but now I am awake to the possibilities, of dreaming into reality, a life I've always wanted, 

I'm excited about the creation. The creation of love that is expanding inside of me. A big smile plays across my lips. 

I know there will be some tests and some challenges and there'll be some victories and some failures. But the failures, as well as the successes, will both pull me closer, to realizing my truth. 

Nothing is Enough.

The show goes on,

with the journey devoid of meaning. 

The end is never ending,

even with all our intervening. 

If we could taste,

the meaning of life

and describe it  with all it's flavours. 

It would have our senses reeling,

as we tried to characterize our Saviour. 

The Saviour of our life,

has helped us to realize who we are. 

That we are not the little drama,

or the actors playing their well read parts. 

We are the moment ,

that is now 

and from nothing, 

are we apart. 

Nothing is enough

and enough is nothing. 

Nothing is enough

and enough is only some thing. 

The only thing we need to get,

is to give it all we've got. 

To give it our very best

and to smile and laugh a lot. 

Beyond.

When I was ready to be saved,

then my God appeared.

When I was ready to behave

and listen to my Guru's words,

so clear.

Nothing could block my path,

now that I felt that God was near.

I could feel a rythym from within,

as my heart beat fell in line.

With the rythym of the universe,

that was beyond our man made time.

Instead of feeling lost

and wanting happiness at any cost.

I felt this bubbling from within,

that reached beyond my guilt and sin.

Happiness had snuck right in,

through a crack,

in my tough and leathery skin.

Through my stubbonous to win,

to succeed in finding,

the love within.

God had broke me down

and my love was finally sound.

A Moment of Truth.

We give up on our discipline,

because we think it is forever.  

We get ahead of ourselves

and we give up on our endeavor. 

Nothing is more refreshing,

than to dive into our fearlessness. 

To realize our capabilities,

our power

and our assuredness. 

We have but this, split second,

to unleash our full potential.  

To find our one true love

and to discover, what is essential. 

With nothing in the shadows,

close behind 

and nothing in ambush,

way up front. 

We have but this short breath within us,

to be wholeheartedly upfront. 

There is nowhere we can hide,

from our God who is within. 

He's anxious for our bliss, 

for us to take just one small step 

and to look beyond our skin. 

Nothing is ever quite as it seems, 

when we're trying to discover,

what it all means. 

Behind the illusion,

lies the truth of it all. 

It's entirely up to us,

wether we run, stall or crawl.
