Will the transition to Twenty Ten
be the same old New Year again?
-with half-hearted resolutions
OR
will we all start revolutions?
of Self

Shift Happens - within
where all ideas begin
It is a matter of Source of course

so flow with the Force
of all creation
and live in elation

with your heart’s desire
set the world on fire
and give up the sturggle
the fight
the right for suffereing
stop looking outside of you
for a pain buffering

Let this New Year begin
a revolution within
to live a life of sincerity
and watch our authentic selves
bring to all great prosperity

 While you are out racing to get everything done right before the Holidays please be sure to appreciate all the people working longer hours and doing their very best to help you. This poem is for all the folks who are in any service position - especially this time of year…Post Office, Retail, Delivery, and many, many more.

Customer Service Angels

When you complain
And speak your mind
They will give you
A response that is kind

It may not be
What you want to hear
But it will be presented
With Holiday Cheer

So give up your stress
And your worry
And your big ‘ol rush
Trying to make them hurry

They’ll get the job done
Though it may seem slow
They’ll give you good service
Can’t you see their halo?

 Happy Holidays!

Extend the Joy
Feel the Peace
Allow the Love
to fully increase
There is no stress
There is no worry
no need to fret
no need to scurry
For Christmas is
a time to show
the “Christ” within us
and let it GLOW!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Frodo Baggins, Moab, UT, November 8, 2009

Our dear Frodo will be all right!
Thanks for all your prayers and Light!
The growth that caused us so much fear
is merely a polyp deep in his ear
Though there’s another vet for him to see
and it looks like he’ll need surgery
The biopsy came back, it was benign
that means our doggie will be just fine
It’s the best outcome we could get
for years more joy with our beloved pet!

Frodo says WOOF!

This is a poem for my cousin Andrea on her 40th birthday…

Soul Sista Sonnet

Whatever road you follow

Whichever path you choose

As today becomes tomorrow

My love you’ll never lose

Whether we are close together

Or many states apart

In any type of weather

You are always in my heart

In purple I see your face

In butterflies I see your smile

No relations could replace

Our special soul sista style

To no other love could I compare

The unique bond that we both share

I am feeling ready to introduce my novel featuring polar bears entitled True North.  I just handed over the first three chapters to Jake Whiting for editing.  Stay tuned for postings and watch for The Writer’s Page link to be added to this site.  Here is some verse to give you an idea about True North

True North

Sometimes a dead end
Is just a moment to make a choice
Survey the situation
And listen to your inner voice

When you are troubled or confused
And don’t know how to move forth
Trust in your own direction
And head for True North

I look forward to sharing more of this polar bear story as I proceed with editing.

My husband Jim and I are beginning to celebrate our 10th anniversary this weekend.  I thought it would be nice to start off with some Personal Verse.  Feel free to use this poem and maybe change a few words to give it to your spouse, family member, friend or any relationship that you cherish.

When I gaze lovingly upon you
I am able to see God’s perfection
and as I learn to do this with others
I become brighter with each reflection

For this is a Holy Relationship
one in which we blossom and grow
supporting each other’s decisions
and the path each chooses to follow

Most times we travel together
and quite often venture out on our own
resting in our heartfelt connection
and the love that is so deeply known

Though in moments we struggle with ego
and criticize, whine or complain
one of us usually chooses to see Peace
and once more our minds become sane

A sense of humor, oh so essential
we’ve known far more laughter than tears
A joyous bond that has held us so close
during a wonderful marriage of ten years!

I love you Bunny!

Happy here and now
in this space and time
this moment is Heaven
a window to the Divine

Content to simply be
exactly where I am
not trying to change
or come up with any plan

Thoughts simply fade
as I tune in with Spirit
it is only here and now
that I am able to hear it

That still soft voice
sweet, gentle and true
there is no place I must go
there is nothing I must do

But stay here and listen
to the song of my heart
harmony in Oneness
from which I never part

When I hear the same suggestion from many different sources, I better listen.  Over the past week I have heard from several people that Personal Verse should offer song lyrics.  So, here is a lyrical version of an earlier post, “Truth is True”.  Only lyrics are offered, as the extent of my musical talent ended in the fifth grade with my rendition on the trumpet of “This Land Is Your Land” at the school recital.  It sounded like I was playing underwater as I forgot to empty the spit valve.  But I digress…

Truth is True

Chorus
I know the Truth about you
I know the Truth about me
I know that Truth is True
and only Truth will be

Let go of your denial
For you are not on trial
there will be no sentence
nor need for repentance
Your source of confusion
is belief in illusion

-Chorus-

There isn’t anything you lack
no need to come back
for another life to live
there is nothing to forgive
You can easily begin
to see a world without sin
through non-judging eyes
The truth you’ll realize

And know the Truth about you
And know the Truth about me
And know that Truth is true
And only Truth will be
