WELCOME HOME--A Message from The Blessed Creator

Beloveds---

"Welcome to the Home of My Heart. Come as you are, for I already know of secret disappointments. I have been disappointed too, but many meals of humility have given me new hope for the good of your heart. 

Truth lives here. All Fear will be transformed into Courage.
 
Stay as long as you like. There are many rooms of different cultures and pathways of faith to explore. All are filled with everlasting Love.
 
Compassion and Patience will prepare a daily feast of Forgiveness so that you let go of your pain, and heal.
 
Mercy will visit in your dreams, and you will learn to look forward and walk humbly into All the Pathways of Good.


Every Day Joy will Awaken you, so that your heart is filled with the Truth of My Heart.

Welcome Home. I Am LOVE! You Are Forever Welcomed in My Heart!", said The Blessed Creator!

Love Has Many Roads

Beloveds,


We may walk, ride a bike or take the bus. Some drive a car, row a boat or sail on the ocean. Others travel mostly by train and plane.


No matter our culture or religion; no matter what country you live in--some things about this world are truly the same.


There will be rains of kindness, storms of difficulty and lessons of Awakening to the Love. Through Love, we learn to let go of anger or fear.

We can embrace our power to heal, forgive, share and walk as Beings infused with the Creator's Grace!


Breathe Deeply Four Times. Allow each breathe to be filled with Love.


Today re-member, Love Has Many Roads and Desires only to be Awakened in Every Heart so that All may live and know the Sunshine of Hope!

Re-Membering Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too

(Inspired by the Teachings of Elizabeth A. Hin)

The sun shone on a crisp Fall day,
and the wind blew so that leaves
danced as old friends, and Eternal Lovers.

Even now the music plays in my head.
A drum beats steadily
as bells create joyful melodies of Grace.

It was then that many were reborn.
Reborn with the understanding
that Love is patience in the knowing
and feeling of humility, and compassion.

Many were re-born knowing
Love is all there is, and ever was.

And therefore it is no surprise
that today we find ourselves
amongst the fallen red/orange/yellow/green leaves
and gather them tenderly
as if they are our most precious possessions.

For these leaves represent
the passage of time---a settling,
an understanding, an appreciation of Grace.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
are surprised, really,
that we don’t re-member
to fully embrace the breath of our hearts.

 It is a breath as sweet as jasmine,
 as salty as an ocean breeze,
 as light and refreshing
 as the smell of trees when it rains.

 The breath is all things
 that allow us a new understanding of the old.

 We often have reason for celebration
 for we are ancient in our desire,
 in our faith, and our understanding.
 
And re-member, since the beginning of time
Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
have said that
Peace is a pathway that lies
beneath each thought, feeling, and action.
Peace is an opportunity 
to create a world of tranquility
filled with hope, and manifested by healing.

 Peace is the smile of joy
 on a child’s face as she or he
 holds the hand of a grandparent
 and adoringly they say to eachother,
 I Love you!

 Peace is each of us re-visiting our anger
 and forgiving ourselves through Love.
 Peace is honoring the healing process
 and holding a space for the joy
 that can come after.

 Peace is each of us walking tranquilly
 with no guns, no weapons of mass destruction,
 and no more red buttons in the white house
 created to annihilate the world.

 Peace is hope, day and night
 illuminated by hard work, and the quest
 for cures of all the ills of our society.
 Peace is illuminated by each step into Grace
 and the reconciliation of differences
 that now serve to plant
 new seeds in our Universal Garden.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
are surprised, really,
 that we don’t re-member harmonics
 as the flowers of Grace which eternally
 have formed new bouquets of hope,
 of infinite healing, of courage,
 of solutions to age old challenges.

 These bouquets honor and salute
 our entire sentient family
 and reflect a unique understanding
 of the future of the Universe.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
are asking us to become
more aware of a special sense of order.

Rebirth, transformations,
endings, beginnings again, and again
remind us that there is always cause for celebration,
always an opportunity to expand our vision,
 and our hearts.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
are asking Us to pay more attention;
 to walk in the field of miracles,
 to embrace the newness of leaves
 fallen with hope, appreciation and courage.

 What if in this moment we imagine
 a potential new healing
 supported by angels, masters and spirit guides
 as well as trees, mountains, oceans,
 sea lions, eagles, doves, dolphins and whales.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
tell us that Truth is the constant re-minder
and the unearthing in the Now.
Truth is the intuition and courage
within each of us.

Truth is the desire to live, hope and dream
of  Love---of a tranquil world with opportunity,
healing, food, equity,
and the fulfillment of good dreams for all.

Truth is a new song created by the Symphony.
The chords are stronger, the harmony intensified.
Surety is the reality.
 Resistance too is a part of the Song.
Together it all becomes a Symphony of Love
within the passage of time.

Love is traveling through unknown pathways.
Love is with new purpose.
Love is with new meaning.
It is a song where fear is transformed
into hope with the courage to take
a solo of compassion created by humility.

The Symphony of Love creates a
New Infinite  that carries us beyond; in this time,
 and beyond, the beyond, the beyond!

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too
remind us that Joy is in the be-ing,
 in the recognizing, in the acceptance of Love.
 As breathing creates the pathway
 for the journey of Love
 into new sound vibrations of Harmonic Grace.

 The sun shone on a crisp Fall day,
 and the wind blew so that leaves
 danced as old friends, and Eternal Lovers.

Ancient Grandmothers, and Grandfathers too
 are surprised; really,
 that we don’t re-member Harmonics
 as the flowers of Grace which Eternally
 have formed new bouquets of Hope,
 of Infinite Healing, of Courage, of Love
 and Solutions to Age Old Challenges.

Please, Breathe Deeply and Re-member!

Turning 60--My New B’Earth Year Reflection!



Beloveds,

 I Breathe Ten Times In Gratitude and Love. In this Lifetime, I came to Earth section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 4:28am on October 22nd in the year of 1954. Though I come from Eternity and will return to Eternity, in Earth time, I am 60 years old.

Today I Thank the Creator for the opportunity to learn, grow and serve. I dedicate this day to My Precious Mother who birthed me, guided me, nurtured and Loves me. I invite you in joining me in celebrating My Mom, Betty J. Tilman.

 Here are the feelings and words of my Heart for My Mother. Maybe you will share your memories with your Mother!


Dear Mom--I feel so privileged to have you as a Mother and to have journeyed with you in this lifetime. Looking back on this almost 60 years on Earth/Heart, my life has been one of learning, adventure and more Joy than I thought imaginable. 

From the Dr. Seuss days of “Green Eggs and Ham” and the rhyming poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, to my rebellious teenage years where I sought solace in everything "Black" from Ebony and Jet Magazine, to the poetry of Langston Hughes, Sojourner Truth and Gwendolyn Brooks, as well as the writing and film making of Gordon Parks, the music of Roberta Flack, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ashford and Simpson and so many and much more--- to my rocky mistakes and disillusionment of young adulthood-You Exposed Me to the Best! 

Sometimes I was fearful. You pushed and pushed and told me that I had a right to walk any path I choose in the World. So often I felt that I was not good enough and unworthy of these great gifts. People whispered behind your back and made fun of me when I articulated with my extensive vocabulary. They said I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
 
Looking back, it was funny how some of the relatives and community associates or so called friends looked for ways to undermine your authority and convince me to go right when I should have gone left. What I thought I wanted was to be "normal". I didn't understand that being different and unique was a Great Gift. 

Though I tried to run away from all you had taught me, it was so imprinted in my mind and my heart and my Soul that the further I ran, the closer I came to it.
 
In 1970 you sent me to West Africa by way of Europe for a few months. Today travel is like eating chocolate. I Love it! Travel has helped me become a person who respects land learns from people of all different cultures and religions. I honor all faith traditions and continue to explore the Divine Essence of MotherFatherG-D through Love.

 I look at myself now and know that I am a product of Your Magnificent Efforts! Thank You for All You have done for me. Your goodness inspires me. Your toughness helped me learn how to survive in a World that would say "Who do you think You Are??", Instead of "How Can I Help??". 

Thank You for teaching me to say "YES I Can" from the time I was a child--- long before the campaign days of President Barack Obama. 

Thank You for the square dancing and swimming at the YWCA, dance and drama at the Pittsburgh Playhouse, camp in Maine at Blueberry Cove and studying musical instruments like the violin and recorder. I never did master either but at least I love music! 

Thank You introducing me to Khalil Gibran, Shirley Chisholm, Harry Belafonte, Maya Angelou, Bucci Emmecha, Jomo Kenyatta, members of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr, Malcom X, Nelson Mandela and so many Heroines and Heroes who have walked this Earth, un-named here, but never forgotten.

Thank You for teaching me to walk with integrity, to use my voice for positive change, and to Love and support others on their life journeys.

 Betty J. TIlman, I feel so privileged to have you as a Mother and to have journeyed with you in this lifetime. Looking back on this almost 60 years on Earth/Heart, my life has been one of learning, adventure and more Joy than I thought imaginable.
 
I Am Humbled with Love, Grateful and Happy to Be Your Daughter! Melony

What the Future Holds



Beloveds,
 
In these days of harmonic dissonance,
we must be careful of what we say
and what we do.


Our sometimes venomous ideas
and violent arguments may backfire.


What may happen is this---the very people
we believe we despise today,
our daughters and sons will love tomorrow.


There is a strong possibility
that in their Love,
they will betray our hate
and marry those
we thought were our enemies.


Our children will have children
that we will learn to Love
because some part of them is US.

And then there will be no enemy.
 
If this is so,
then isn't far easier to begin today
to offer others the Love and Compassion
We Seek for Ourselves?


Isn't this the way to experience
a Vivid Peace with Hope
and True Joy In Our Lifetimes?


Breathe and Exhale Deeply10 Times.

What will You choose for your Future?


To live alone with hate
or to be nurtured with Loving Respect
by your children and grandchildren?


I Choose Love!

Peace is Possible through Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Mercy and Love!

Responsibility and Unity!



Beloved Radiant ONES---


The Moon and the Stars light the night sky with hope
so that even in darkness we find our way.

At daybreak the Sun rises and awakens the world.
Ocean tides shift as fish journey.

Slumbering trees feel the gentle breeze of the Wind
and birds greet us with a morning song.

All Creations have a purpose and work
together in Loving Unity.

As humans, we too must do our part
and live our good purpose so that our communities,
nations and the World can Prosper in Peace.

We have a responsibility and an obligation to educate
and nurture our children in Safe Communities of Love
in a World of Peace and Prosperity!

I am willing to take responsibility for the well-being
of Our Earth and Our World by using my gifts
to help others so that we can All actively work,
prosper, and live together in Unity through Love.

Peace is Possible through Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Mercy and Love!

I am One. We Are ONE.

Beloveds...


Today Joy moves through me as I learn
compassion and humility.



I am ONE with all sentient beings…the sky, the clouds,
the sun, the rain, the trees that sway and dance in the wind,
and the birds that greet me in song.



I am One with the Spirit of Mother Theresa, Mohandis,
Malcolm, Martin, John, and Edward
as well as Ruth, Isaac, Joshua, Moses, 

Mary, Jesus, Khadeeja, Mohammed, Shams, Rumi,
Buddha, Kuan Yin and Sojourner Truth.



I am ONE with the woman suffering from breast cancer
and the man suffering and dying from lung cancer
and the woman in Afghanistan whose family was killed by a drone.



I am ONE with the homeless woman pushing the cart
with all her worldly possessions and warning us of
our greed though we don’t often listen.



I am One with the Tibetan who was told by Chairman Mao
that religion is poison and the Palestinian wandering,
unable to return to his homeland.



I am One with the starving children everywhere
and the Israeli settler with a gun in his hand.



I am One with all those Ascended,
every child born at this moment
and the great-grandparents who are taking
their last breath on this Earth Realm.



I am ONE with the artist struggling to show us the way
and the politician disgraced in shame.



I am ONE with those who have awakened in Love
and those filled with disappointment or fear.



Circumstances make no difference to me
for I embrace the journey and see the Divine
in those who may not see the Divine in themselves.



I am One with All World Leaders who need
more courage to say stop the killing everywhere
and the Dalai Lama whom asks us to live in peace.



In my dreams the Buffalo Woman,
the morning dove and the golden hawk
guide me as my heart becomes filled
with ancient prayers of all traditions.



I am One with the caterpillar and the butterfly.


I am One with the Buddhist, the Christian, the Jew,
the Moslem, the Bahai, the Hindu, the Yoruba, the Janist,
the Naturalist, the One who doesn’t believe in G-d
and the One Lost in their material identity
and always needing more….



Today Joy moves through me as compassion, humility
and understanding become a way of life...



For In You--- I see the Reflection of Me
and know that through Love...
WE ARE ONE.



Peace is Possible through Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Mercy and Love!
