Here is a poem I wrote while struggling and grappling with issues that came up from, well … living life!
Interestingly, this poem has changed my WHOLE way of meditating each day. Now, after doing my breathing, stretching, grounding, connecting to God and establishing boundaries … I spend time allowing whatever is causing me stress or anxiety in my life to come up. I feel it to its fullest … and then I simply say “I love you.” … just as in this poem.
I love you.
~
Rising swells
all flecked with fury.
~
I love you.
~
Judgement’s eyes
cast weight on the scales
of my heart.
~
I love you.
~
Friend or foe;
uncertainty’s advance.
~
I love you.
~
Ancient wounds prodded
provoking past mistakes.
~
I love you.
~
Dreamscape carnage
littered with pieces and parts
of who I was
and what I’ve done.
~
I love you.
~
A shuttered heart
defending inner sanctum.
~
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
~
Namaste.

- poem written by the author of Religion4All, art by Amanda Sage.
Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.
We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it. Every single person on this planet is loved equally by God … SO many are cut off from God because they are told they don’t belong. God loves everyone … we ALL are beautiful creations … we don’t need to cringe when we hear the words “God”, or “religion”, or their judgments … God LOVES us all!
There is no requirement to change in order to be LOVED by God, or to LOVE God. God is LOVE, and LOVE is God … period. There is no one who God loves more than anyone else … there are only those who choose to LOVE more … to love God more, and consequently then to love each other more. In doing so, we grow closer to God … and know God.
By opening our hearts, and minds to God (free of boundaries like religion, or social trends); by LOVING God … we are exactly where we are meant to be. If we maintain that openness, never allowing any person or event to make us close our hearts, we will be guided by God to be who we are meant to be.
In that space of openness we can then live a life of LOVE, and be guided to where we are meant to be … forever in LOVE.
