Awakening from Chaos

The river is wide this morning - and still restless...But not as much as yesterday...

My eyes are magnetically drawn to the shores on the other side...

I hear and remember a message given to me almost a year ago when this journey began:

"Trust that this river
is taking you
to the ocean
of the unimaginable..."

Trust always came easy - but now it is more illusive...It has asked so much...

I think of watching Oprah yesterday for the first time in months - publicly sharing a precious note received from Marianne Williamson on her 50th birthday. She reads it in Marianne's presence as they both hold hands - Oprah dissolving in tears...

The eloquent note reminds that there are angels at the hand of God who eagerly stand ready to help each and every one of us - in any way they can. They help direct our steps and steer us onto the path of everlasting joy...

I take comfort in this and think of how messages come to us from everywhere - if we only have the eyes to see and the ears to hear...

I go out and buy Eckhart Tolle's book - The New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. I internally hear there are messages and lessons in this book that will be of great benefit...

In the late evening I am drawn to check my messages one last time before sitting and I unexpectedly find two from angels sent from God on a very silent and still day of so much introspection amidst so much necessary inner and outer work...

I am reminded I am not alone - even though the path may feel that way at times...

One angel reminds me we are connected in Freedom, and Consciousness, and Love...

The other - a former concert pianist - is also the voice - who unwittingly becomes an instrument for the Voice:

"Not a string untuned,
not a note amiss
How complete the
symphony
When love awakens
from chaos
And embraces eternity."

One final commentary is given - and it is surely meant for us all to imbibe:

"As your heart heals,
know for sure...
like the words above,
love will awaken from chaos.
What is this moment
of a lifetime
when eternity awaits?"

I sit and offer prayers for loved ones traveling tomorrow...Lord, keep them safe...

I am reminded to see with Divine Eyes - and to be still - and know that this lifetime is just one more road stop on the way to Eternity...

Rumi - "The Lord is in Me" and "Love Said to Me"

I was sent a couple of poems by Rumi recently, and I wish to share them here. May you find inspiration in them for a glorious weekend! The Lord is in Me The Lord is in me, and the Lord is in you, As life is hidden in every seed. So rubble your pride, my friend, And look for Him within you. When I sit in the heart of His world A million suns blaze with light, A burning blue sea spreads across the sky, Life's turmoil falls quiet, All the stains of suffering wash away. Listen to the unstruck bells and drums! Love is here; plunge into its rapture! Rains pour down without water; Rivers are streams of light. How could I ever express How blessed I feel To revel in such vast ecstasy In my own body? This is the music Of soul and soul meeting. Of the forgetting of all grief. This is the music That transcends all coming and going. Love Said to Me I worship the moon. Tell me of the soft glow of a candle light and the sweetness of my moon. Don't talk about sorrow, tell me of that treasure

Upside Down Siva and Ultimate Freedom

Image
While I was in Denver last month, on Thursday May 7th, the day of the week in which the Guru and teachers are traditionally honored, I was drawn to buy a "murti" (sacred statue) of Siva doing a one-handed handstand. I bought this statue the very morning I was to demo this pose, unbeknowst to me... The murti of Siva is now on my desk in front of me, where it is constantly in my peripheral vision, every time I sit at my computer. It is also to the left of the meditation alcove I built into a closet. I was drawn to this piece from the first moment I laid eyes on it, and so after receiving it in the mail, I wrote to Dr. Manoj Challam, from whom I purchased it, asking him to give me more insight into the meaning of this representation of Siva. A primary focus of the week that Anusara Yoga teachers gathered in Denver was the study of the Siva Sutras with Dr. Paul Muller Ortega, a pre-eminent Siva scholar. I have always been very drawn to Siva , and this particular murti was so

A Christmas Poem

Last year, I wrote this poem. These were my wishes then, and they are my wishes once again this year, and every year - for you - for me - for all of us! And so, here it is, one more time... This Christmas… Love. Love totally and completely. Love without restraint. Love with total abandon. Forgive. Forgive everything. Forgive every ancient grudge. Forgive the Unforgiveable. Hope. Hope for a better world. Hope for Peace, and an end to strife. Give Hope to all in despair. Dream. Dream the Impossible Dream. Feed your Dream and Give it Life. Make it real. Believe. Believe in the Seen. Believe in the Unseen. Believe in the Power of Miracles. Live. Live fully and Live deeply. Live with Great Passion. Live Each moment, as if your last. Touch. Embrace a loved one. And a lost one. Embrace them again. Hold a hurting hand and heart. Feel. Feel everything. Fee
