You awaken
When you are ready to release
That which holds you back.
In acknowledging
Is the allowing
Of new possibilities
And sense the light within.
Every once in a while
It’s good to unshackle
Simply ask your self
What am I holding back?

Pride makes us artificial
Humility makes us real
Thomas Merton
So a long long time ago when I started sharing my writing skills, I received a beautiful message from a reader, who also introduced Thomas Merton, the poet & monk to me. I was intrigued by his words. And went on to read more. For back then I didn’t know who Thomas Merton was and had never heard or come across his works.
This morning I came across the above quote, another gem of a quote from the mystical light of this soul…
There are some souls whose works strike a deep chord without ever meeting them… you sense a connection in their words..
I am grateful in all humility to have come across the profoundness of these kindred spirits. 🙏
Let love live
Not just in your smile
In your heart
In your eyes
In your bones
Allow it to reside
In every cell of your being
Make it your life long friend
And see the magic unfold

In the depths of darkness
Keep the faith on a new dawn
In the numerous wrongs
See the rights
Thank the good
Be grateful for it
Make it a practice of a life time
Know you’re in a better space.

What was freshness of springtime
Matures with the changing seasons
At times hot dry or humid summers makes life unbearable
Soon the downpour of rains flood the parched land with greens
Another autumn as orange rust leaves renew themselves
Winter chills brings it’s own white snow at will
Trees bereft of leaves lay bare their dark branches
Awaiting for another change of season.
And life goes on…

In the darkest hours
Stay strong in spirit
Sense the light within
Trust the light in you
To keep you hopeful
To see the light of dawn.

Every night sky
Infinite stars twinkle
There is wisdom in their light
‘To shine from wherever you are’
Each star emits their own starlight
Without trying to outshine others
Together they fill up the night sky
With the wonders of a starry night.

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration.’
Carl Jung
On Dreams
Dreams have inate wisdom
Of your creative potency
Some dreams are vivid
Colourful almost surreal
Some simply black & white
But every dream connects you
Back to your self
There is much to understand
For what is, is not all.
Build the bridge to discover
There is so much to explore
So much more to dreams.
Dare to dream!

True happiness is spiritual
Manifesting in interconnects
Pure, unselfish and expansive
Generated in grace of love & bliss.
Elusive in the holding
Inclusive in the sharing
Creating abundance as a gift of life.

Peace is a force of nature
Creating strength within you
To face life with a calm presence
Unrattled and focused in approach
When peace flows in you
A river of joy flows through you
Cultivating compassion
And connection to all of nature.
In the peace of mind and heart
The spirit is at ease
It is gentle in its presence
Yet creates nerves of steel
Peace dares to be at ease.
In the journey through life.
Such is the power of peace.

The journey of creativity
Flourishes in the flow
Out of passionate awareness
Of the spaces between
Light to dark & dark to light.
For in betwixt these hours
Ideas birth & creativity grows.
In passionate perseverance
Puzzles fit in patience.

Sometimes comments by readers become an inspiration for verses in a flow…. This was once such a flow.. I thank @KatieMiaFrederick for the inspiring comment. 🙏
For me the art of poetry is…
A faith in the verses that flow.
And faith in the flow that finds its purpose,
For faith is all there is,
Without it nothing is.

Wherever you are,
Wherever you go
Be a messenger of peace
Sense the hope that peace brings
In its wake, life regenerates.

Keep the flame burning bright
Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope, feed the faith
For the day is not done
