I LOVE YOU

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.

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.

What you water your dreams with

A meditative quote progression … see where it takes you, and feel free to share what you find there: 🙂

~~~~~~~

“Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.”

– Lao Tzu

~~~~~~~

“There is a power that makes all things new;
It lives and moves in those who know the Self as one.”

– quote from a Gnostic Benediction

“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime …”

– Khaled Hosseini
