You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything:
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.

So many live on and want nothing
and are raised to the rank of prince
by the slippery ease of their light judgments.

But what you love to see are faces
that so work and feel thirst....

You have not grown old, and it is not too late
to dive into your increasing depths
where life calmly gives out its own secret.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

Divine Connections

I try and walk a few times a week on my roads. One road is very busy and the 2nd road is not so busy. Sometimes I have my iPod and walking to music and just thinking my own thoughts. Rarely interacting with life around me. I am WALKING!! Sometimes I look around and notice stuff but again rarely connect. i dont look at drivers or make any connection to them.
But SOMETIMES the Divine hollars " HEY!!!!! to me and I Notice!!!"

We all crave connections and even more a connection with the Divine. Today I turned onto the not so busy road and as a car came by I glanced up and a lady in a red car made eye connection, smiled and waved. I smiled and waved back and felt a surge of thankfulness in my soul. I wished her much blessing and I was still smiling when i glanced up at the next car and another person waved and smiled at me. WOW I thought... the universe is really connecting to me through these people. I again said a blessing for this person who without knowing why Sorta mentally high fived me and said GO GIRL your AWESOME!!!!
The aura of thankfulness was contagious!
My belief is the Universe uses those around us to connect with us and often we dont see the opportunities or the high fives.We get engrossed in NOT looking at others and not seeing others as emissaries of Light.
I am blessed that 2 people took a moment to connect with me instead of ignoring the opportunity.
So Namaste to them and THANKS to the Universe for Peace and Light even amongst the busy roads!!!

a new revolution

Great song!!

AWESOME..2 of my FAVORITE Women singers!!!

there is a crack in everything!!! thats how the light gets in!!

The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.

oh the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.

I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.

Ring the bells that still can ring ...

You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.

A prayer song....

Journeying god,
pitch your tent with mine
so that I may not become deterred
by hardship, strangeness, doubt.
Show me the movement I must make
toward a wealth not dependent on possessions,
toward a wisdom not based on books,
toward a strength not bolstered by might,
toward a god not confined to heaven.
Help me to find myself as I walk in other's shoes.



(Prayer song from Ghana, traditional, translator unknown)

And....


If you hanker for
a zenith of felicity
on the bed of the Divine
begin by dusting off
the wings of wonder
on your local pillow
Lift your ineffable
out of the mundane
Aim for airborne
with the eye of the heart
as your sky pilot
and soar to glory

~ James Broughton ~


I simply love the sentence " Lift your ineffable out of the mundane" the phrase resonates strongly with me on all levels. I can feel the Divine when i say it outloud.
What is ineffable? I knew you would ask--or some of you-- and so I will define.

ineffable is beyond expression or description such as "indefinable yearnings"; "indescribable beauty"; "ineffable ecstasy"; "inexpressible anguish"; "unspeakable happiness"; "unutterable contempt"; "a thing of untellable splendor"
indescribable, unspeakable, untellable, unutterable, indefinable
inexpressible, unexpressible - defying expression
or to do with the Spriritual Aspect of life: too sacred to be uttered; "the ineffable name of the Deity, unnameable, unutterable, unspeakably sacred - concerned with religion or religious purposes; "sacred texts"; "sacred rites"; "sacred music"

My expressions or my life are not mundane and i refuse to make it mundane even at the cost of others not understanding me or projecting their own weakness's to explain me. Why is it when a person achieves, moves forward, has experiences and is open to the Universe's sense of humor, people are threatened and angry. Their own lack is their own lack..its not mine and its not a product of my abundance.
Lift your ineffable out of the mundane.
YES!!!!!!!!!
