Are We the Answer to Our Prayers?
5 November 2010
'Create an intentional community of love.'
But perhaps despite, or even because of, our falllibilities
we can do this.
This community is not bound by geography or culture or religion.
It is bound by a singular commitment to
shining the light of love on the darkness.
It is worldwide.
Imagine the light emanating from thousands of people
on the darkness we ourselves have created…
We illuminate our own darkness…
Another night of powerful Kundalini energy,
continued into my sleep.
Woke me in the middle of the night when
it exploded out of my head.
There was a dream and a message.
continued into my sleep.
Woke me in the middle of the night when
it exploded out of my head.
There was a dream and a message.
'Create an intentional community of love.'
Over and over I heard this message.
My mind immediately started analyzing it,
exposing the many ways we humans have and
are trying to do that and the many more ways
we take it apart when we find it.
Against our best intentions,
we can’t escape our humanness,
the fears that capture us and
the illusions we call rational thought.

'No matter what happens on the outside,
become quiet.
You will find Me inside.
'No matter what happens on the outside,
become quiet.
You will find Me inside.
Therein lies your abundance.
I AM ether, light, pure energy
I rush through trees,
spark out the branches, set the leaves on fire with my light.
I ignite inside your belly
and burn til you look to me.
and burn til you look to me.
I will bring you madness and peace,
that which you wish.
Abundance
Quiet
that which you wish.
Abundance
Quiet
Feel me………………………..
I AM the energy in your hands, in the trees
I AM the slips of light that pass between your consciousness and dreams
I AM the voice that you seek.
I AM the slips of light that pass between your consciousness and dreams
I AM the voice that you seek.
I’ve been waiting for you.
Stand here next to me and I will teach you.
You will speak, you will understand.'
Stand here next to me and I will teach you.
You will speak, you will understand.'
Powerful, unknowable entity.
Teacher.
Show me abundance.
In love with the earth, but not bound to it,
Teacher.
Show me abundance.
In love with the earth, but not bound to it,
pure beauty, radiance, breathing the breath of life.

New Blog to Get Away from Spammers
I have been getting hit with a growing amount of spam and whatever you call those invaders of peaceful space. It has gotten quite irritating, so I am creating a new blog. I will start posting on the new blog tomorrow.

My Friend, My Inspiration
My dear friend and sister rejoiced in telling me
of her latest feat in eating 'on a dime'.
She can make a complete meal for
her boyfriend and herself for $2.80.
I was only able to accomplish that when
I was living in Viet Nam where the
cost of living is far below that of the US.
For the feat of eating in the most healthy way she can discover,
I love my friend.
For the daily accomplishment of living in her car,
I love my friend.
For getting up every day to face another challenge,
I love my friend.
I rejoice in knowing her, in having the opportunity
to share some small part of life with her,
to learn from her the wisdom-born-of-poverty.
She inspires me to remember gratitude for
all that I am fortunate to have, and to question
whether I really, really need all that other stuff.
And, she makes me smile,
deep in my soul.
I thank you, God, for Michelle.
Bless her this night and all the nights
to come.

Abundance Mindset
I'm contemplating the scarcity versus abundance mindsets.
If we believe in abundance, we are in concert with nature.
For, nature is all about abundance!
In fact, for nature to thrive, there must be abundance.
There must be abundance in diversity, or Requisite Variety.
Put in human terms, we need people of all colors, races,
politics, beliefs, experiences...to thrive as a species.
Also, there must be abundance in likeness, or Redundancy.
Again, in human terms, we need people who have similar
talents and gifts. We need to offer them together,
not in competition, but in co-operation and collaboration.
We become rich in the sharing of these gifts,
both diverse and similar. And never, never
do the gifts of another detract from or devalue
our own gifts!
Like love that expands exponentially as we love more,
so too, the gifts we offer back to life multiply the benefits
recieved by all, including ourselves.
So, look for diversity in the people around you.
Celebrate, learn from, and support that diversity.
Look for the similarity in the people around you.
Celebrate, learn from, and support that similarity.
There is never too little, only more and more
as we share of ourselves and accept the offering of others.

Blessed by the Creator
Of the manifold gifts that my father gave to me,
one that grows in significance as years pass
is best described through a little story.
Around age 15, and in the full throes of
differentiating my self from my parents,
I threw out my chest and found my strongest voice.
Then, I marched up to my father,
that gentle, wise, compassionate man.
Before I could be melted by his loving eyes,
I boldly, and probably somewhat awkwardly,
declared, 'I don't believe in God!'
Holding my breath and readying for a parlay,
I awaited my father's response.
He looked at me in one long moment.
Then, he smiled and said, 'OK.'
That was it?! Stunned, I turned to retreat.
'OK? OK??? OK???'
I had just denounced the single most important thing
in my father's life, and all he said was, 'OK???'
I don't remember how long it took me to recover
from this most unexpected act of my sage/father.
But, keeping to form was critical at that stage of my development,
so I regrouped and initiated a series of assaults on what
I considered to be the fallibilities of religion and faith and God.
At every turn, my father listened carefully and responded with
compassion, wisdom and love...and no small amount of patience!
Through this journey, I learned so many things and traveled so far.
The lessons from this sojourn with my father some 40 years-ago
stay with me today, shape my perspectives, fortify me with hope,
and remind me that it is okay to question and challenge.
For, through that questioning and challenging,
we delve into our souls to find the answers therein, to find God therein.
All our lives, at any moment, this gift is ours to open.
And, it is given us with compassion, wisdom, love
and all the patience in the universe.
For our growth into self is a sacred journey,
one that is blessed by the Creator of all.
