These Days of Healing

Cut flesh stitched

back together.

There is no healing

without pain.

What is gone

reveals the path.

Living in this body-

embracing 

all pain and joy.

Contemplation / Morning 12/26/17

I woke up thinking

about wanting to free myself

from my bodily desires

To free myself from my bad habits

of drink and food

To move more

To feel the wind and sky more

To explore more

To slowly move from my room

to this outer world once more

I want to be more

I want to feel more

But only I can bring this dawn

This remains in my hands alone

This is my choice

This is what I must remember

This is how I must act

What was good enough can no

longer be acceptable

I must let myself be more fully

present in the present

This - the eternal now

Always

Always here

Discipline

Control

Growth

I must master myself

to foster these

To receive love

To give love

To receive love

To give love

To receive love

To give love

Dying days of a dying year

We look towards the sun

towards the moon

towards the stars in the heavens

Looking for an answer

Looking for reassurance

to get us through the days ahead

Winter  at our feet

Dreams of Spring 

just further ahead

God is within

What does this mean?

Have you considered

that you are the expression

of universal consciousness

that you are in fact 

an incarnation of God

We are all God

in this fashion

Flawed and finite

as part of an infinite

timeline stretching 

far behind and ahead of us

plucking of strings

drops of rain

resonance

sound bleeding into air

lungs breathing 

I am the steward of this body

My spirit

My body 

This place I call my own

Creation and Healing

The power to create change is always within our grasp.
We do not always see or feel this power within ourselves
but it is there. One does not have to remake the world
to feel this power. It is present when we wish to take
small steps to bettering our lives, whether physically
or spiritually.

If you are looking for healing
Start now
Look within yourself
From here all emerges

A language I can hear but
cannot understand.
Words of praise and healing-
your voice touches me
raises me to awareness
