Keeper of the Flame!

Beloved Radiant ONES---

Today, Breathe and Exhale Deeply Six Times so that you clear your mind of all the chaos and confusion around you. Allow the Winds of Eternity to awaken you with Courage, Compassion and Humility.

Continue to Breathe Deeply and you will feel the embers of Love move through your mind and your body.

With each breath you boldly take without fear, all the Hope in your heart will learn to light the fires of trust so that Spirit of Love may sing, and dance through you.

You Have Awakened In the Heart of Love! You are a Keeper of the Flame. Breathe Deeply.

Everywhere You Walk Tenderly; Use and Trust Your Wisdom to Gently Light the Fire of Love!

Ego and Misery

Beloveds---

When Ego did not trust the Creator's Love, he found himself lost in perpetual storms of wrong words, actions and  disappointment.  It seemed like for eons,  Ego forbade the Heart from experiencing joy and joined with Misery to create dis-order and hate throughout the World. 

Some humans enslaved others who looked differently.  They stole the precious resources and treasured legacies and fought religious wars to maintain control.  For a time it appeared that this was to become the sad destiny of Earth. 

 And the Great Mother Cried.  Her tears moved hearts of a few who then felt the undercurrent of the Creator's Love.  And the few Awakened from the horrible nightmare created by Ego and Misery.

They began to Breathe Deeply and see Beauty in the Stars, in the Moon and Sun. They began to marvel at the birds song, the lives of animals and fish, and the rhythm of the winds and oceans.  They learned the history of Earth-Heart  through the rocks and stones.  They discovered the oxygen of Love and studied the wisdom of trees.  Plant life offered food and healing. 

With Each Breathe they took in Love,  they grew braver, and many more re-membered the Great Mother and Awakened in Love.  YOU are one of the many born to honor the Creator and Rise in understanding and compassion through the Great Mother.

 Breathe Deeply 10 Times.  Breathe In Truth.  Know there is only Love.  Exhale the Nightmare Created by Ego and Misery.  Now that you have Awakened,  allow Divine Grace to lead your Heart.  Listen to song of your Soul.  It is the Creator's Song of Love. 

Again, Ten Times Breathe In Love.  Exhale Love.  There is no turning back.  The only way to heal and live and prosper on Earth-Heart is to  Stay Awake and Trust Only Love!

When Will Freedom Come: Remembering the Civil Rights Foot Soldiers As Dreamers

 There is perhaps no greater gift to society than the Dreamer.
For it is the Dreamer who believes
that Good Change is possible.

It is the Dreamer that looks upon a society's inequities
and desires a better life for themselves, their families,
their neighbors and their Nation.
...
It is the Dreamer who having awakened to the Truth
that ALL people are created Equal
asks How Will Freedom Come?

On August 28th in 1963, A. Phillip Randolph,
Bayard Rustin, Mahalia Jackson, John Lewis, Peter,
Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Julian Bond, Odetta,
Jackie Robinson, James Baldwin, Marlon Brando,
Joan Baez, Paul Newman, Harry Belafonte,
Eleanor Holmes Norton, Andrew Young, Marian Anderson,
Sammy Davis Jr., Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Malcolm X,
Diahann Carroll, Burt Lancaster, Dr. Benjamin Mays,
Roy Wilkins, Dorothy Height, Whitney Young,
and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were all in attendance
with 250 thousand Dreamers from across America
who gathered in Our Nation's Capitol
to rally for jobs, the right to vote,
desegregation and equality.

Some of these Dreamers had been working
in their communities, cities and states
for many generations to bring about Good Change.

They knew that just attending the March on Washington
was an act of rebellion
but more importantly,
it was an Act of Faith that could bring Change
and Hope for their Children.

They were people of all nationalities,
religious beliefs and colors.
They were clergy, union members, mechanics,
postal workers, railroad workers, pullman porters,
butlers, maids, police officers, doctors
nurses, educators, college students
and people from every occupation imaginable.

There were grandparents and mothers
and fathers who brought their children.
All believed that this country
could only live its greatness when Equality
and Equal Opportunity became the Law of the Land.

It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who spoke
and articulated the Dream that had been swelling
in the hearts of many for generations and generations.

We know these 250,000 Dreamers as the Civil Rights Foot Soldiers.
Though we may not know their names,
today Fifty Years later, we honor the Civil Rights Foot Soldiers
their lives, their hopes and their Dreams.

And Fifty Years later, the message of equality, equity,
education, fair employment, Hope and Love
continues to deserve our attention;
for the work of the Dreamers and Civil Rights Foot Soldiers
is Far From Complete.

Freedom will come only when we
are willing to put down our guns,
open our hearts and listen deeply to Truth.

Freedom will come only when we
Rise Up Together
and decide to fix the broken
Political, Economic, Educational
and Social Systems of Inequity.

But Freedom Will Come!

As we remember The Civil Foot Rights Foot Soldiers,
in Our Hearts, we must continue to walk
across the Nation with Hope and Strong Resolve.
Then we will hear and sing the songs that mourn the loss
of Every Child of Violence and War and Racism and Poverty.
We will call for Peace and sing of Love.

Freedom will come when we truly
Desire Equity, Education
and Prosperity For ALL.

Freedom will come when we willingly
sit at the table together in Gratitude
and share our dreams, our food, our homes,
our education and our wealth.

Freedom will come only when we
once again notice
that Trees bend in reverence
as Spring, Summer and Autumn Leaves
dance joyfully and teach Our Children
that All Humans deserve to be cared for and Loved!

Freedom will come as we Re-Member
that for All Our Children we must
offer Hope for their Dreams
and be willing to share Our Love.

Breathe Deeply
In Hope. Out Love.
Again Breathe.
In Hope. Out Love.

How will you honor the Dreamer Civil Rights Foot Soldiers?
Do you remember the Dream?
What will you do today and tomorrow?
How will Freedom come with Love
and decide to Live in Our Hearts
and Our Nation?

First Breathe. In Hope. Out Love!
We must once again commit to gather
in our communities, cities and states.

Remembering that ALL Are Created Equally,
let us sit at the table together in Gratitude
and share our Dreams, our food, our homes,
our education and our wealth.

It is then for the Dreamer, that Freedom Will Come!

You are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light!

Beloveds---

 Breathe Deeply Five Times.
Inhale Humility and Joy.
Exhale the Grace of Love.

Breathe.
You are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light!

As Hierophants we are all teachers, and students. ...
Living, learning, sharing, and loving.
This is our path, a return to LOVE.

Again, Breathe Deeply Five Times.
Inhale Humility and Joy.
Exhale the Grace of Love.

Breathe.

People would have us believe that
we should not focus on the heart.
The truth is we can NOT develop
and travel into the new realms
purely in our minds.

The heart always has the right answers.
And Truth is all there is.
For In Truth we experience Divine LOVE.

Breathe.

Right now let us feel Joy's embrace
as particles of LOVE run through
the very cells of our body!

You Are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light!

Breathe!
Inhale Humility and Joy.
Exhale the Grace of Love.

Your Ever Vigilant Heart!

Beloveds--
I Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  Today I cannot find that space of empty in my mind.  Instead, I embrace every thought.  

I Breathe....For Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Dr. Sheik Umar Khan who saved countless lives but died of Ebola in Sierra Leone, and All those who have lost their lives due to violence and unnecessary wars or illness and suffering, I Offer Prayers of Love and Healing for their Families and Communities.  


I Breathe... In my heart are awakening cries of anger, despair and disappointment mixed with Compassion, Hope, Mercy and Love.  These are the emotions vibrating throughout the World.  


Humanity is Awakening but our addiction to fear, greed and hate has taken center stage.  We must remember that Hate Breeds Hate. Hate is never a Cure. No matter how difficult or how long it may take---Only Forgiveness, Love, Respect and Understanding with Compassion and Mercy Offer Us Any Opportunity to Live Together In Peace with Equity. 


Across the United States and the World, We Are Moving In Violent Directions and Causing Despair to Many. The  Schisms of Class, Fear, Greed, Power, Race, and Religion are at the Forefront of the Regional and Global Conversations. I Remember that violence and war only break hearts and create More Cycles of Violence and War. 


Again,  I Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  In Patience, Forgiveness and Love.  Out Patience, Forgiveness and Love. In Patience, Forgiveness and Love.  Out Patience, Forgiveness and Love. 

It will take Many Strong Voices and Vigilant Hearts to Choose to Empower Our World through Good Actions of Kindness and Love.   It is Our Responsibility to Keep Raising Our Voices In Love!

Thank YOU for Your Ever Vigilant Heart! 

Giving Up Control

Beloveds---

Beyond knowledge is the hope that my Faith is strong enough to face the feared and unknown.

"How will I walk?",  I ask myself.  I clear my mind, sit in the quiet and Breathe Deeply Ten Times.

The answer comes from the whispers of my heart.  "First you must have the strength and courage to Trust.

Then as Truth is revealed, you must face your fears and offer Kindness even to the one you perceive as your enemy.  When you are able to transform your hate into Love with forgiveness, then you will grow in understanding.

Every change or answer you seek can be found in your ability to give up control and walk the path of the unknowing.

It is always through the  Journey of Faith that we come to know Everlasting LOVE!"

As I step into this Beautiful Day, I Breathe Deeply.

Knowing that within me is  the courage and strength to walk the path of unknowing; I Choose to walk with Faith and to Trust that the Uni-Verse Will Guide Me In Right Actions of Love!

You Are the Sum Total of Your Every Experience!

Beloveds---


 Our words and actions can never be undone and surely we will all make mistakes on our life journey.  Thus we must learn to forgive ourselves, ask for forgiveness  and offer forgiveness to others.
 
We can allow those mistakes to lead the way to new and better choices.  In this way, good change becomes inevitable. 


We will Love and sometimes that Love will be rejected or misunderstood. Trust Love Anyway!


When we journey with humility, and mindfulness;  there is a greater possibility that we will speak and live in Truth. 


When we offer our Love unconditionally with trust, we discover that every breath aligned with our Heart and our Soul allows us to become more at peace with ourselves. 


Most Importantly, Who We Become in Love is the Greatness Exemplified by the Sum Total of All Our Experiences.


Breathe Deeply 10 Times.  In Love.  Out Love.  In Love. Out Love.  In Love.  Out Love.


Remembering that you and your greatness lies in the Sum Total of your every experience; Who Have You Become In Love? 

Just Be A Friend!

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Beloveds---


Breathe, feel, smell, look, touch, taste and listen to Love.
 
Right here now-beyond the questioning or knowing; as you watch the sun set or the moon rise and kiss the stars; in the twilight or early morning dawn as the sun awakens you--- Let Us Give Thanks to Our Blessed Creator who Lives in Our Hearts and everywhere throughout the Multi-verse..


Breathe, feel, smell, look, touch, taste and listen to Love.


Love is the Creator's gift to all who believe, embrace the mystery and see beauty in the Soul Journey of every heart. Love is the place where yesterday and tomorrow merge into Now.


 Love is letting go of notions of false superiority or self hate.  Love is walking in Peace and sharing compassion, offering hope and tender words to Yourself so that you let go of old fears and heal your Own Heart with Forgiveness.


 Only when we believe that Love does not harm, is not selfish and does not envy will we experience the bliss of life. Then we will feel Love in our hearts, taste it in our food, see it in the skies, the oceans, the blossoming flowers and trees as they bloom and awaken in the New Day.


 The moment we are willing to live our destiny as beings of Love, and know that Love is the Creator's most Precious Gift, then we will be able to genuinely Love Our Neighbors and Offer Our Best so that together we Prosper with Joy.


 In this moment, right now is the opportunity to breathe, feel, smell, look, touch, taste, and listen to Love.

Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  In Love.  Out Love.  In Love.  Out Love.


Today, how will you Live and Honor the Creator in this Moment of Eternity?
Will you re-member to Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love?

Transformative Chaos...

Beloveds----

 We can not help but feel uncomfortable in this world of transformative chaos! Greed and War can no longer financially or emotionally sustain us. Only cooperative collective acts of compassion and love can do that.

Current chaos represents our dreams of a vivid and lasting peace. Change will come whether or not we are ready.

Breathe Deeply Ten Times. In Love. Out Patie...nce and Truth with Love.

In Love. Out Patience and Truth with Love.

Set your clear Loving intention with Patience and Hope. Have Faith.

Throughout this chaotic transformation we must rest more; be truthful and judicious in our thoughts and actions; and offer forgiveness with mercy.

Again Breathe. In Love. Out Patience and Truth.

When You Are Ready, Move Forward In Love.

I Say Many Prayers!

 

Beloveds--

I sit quietly in contemplation. 

I Breathe in with Hope.   With each breath I Exhale my desire to live in Peace.

Deeply I Breathe  Six Times.  In Hope and Respect for Humanity.  Out Wisdom and a Desire to live in Peace. 

My heart fills with good potential.   Each breath becomes a prayer I offer. 

May we find a way to put down our weapons, release our fear or hatred and listen to each other with care, compassion, empathy, and respect. 

May Love cause us to Awaken in Peace and offer our hands in friendship.  May we honor our cultural differences and embrace the idea that we are more alike than different.

We all need the oxygen in the air to breathe. When we cut eachother with words or harm eachother with guns, bombs, drones or violent actions, we all discover pain and suffering.
 
We All Share this Planet.  May we be wise enough to understand the value and loving potential of our lives.

May we want the good for others that we want for ourselves.  May we share our resources to with those in need.

May we nurture and educate our children with good dreams and Peaceful Hearts of Love.

My heart fills with Good Potential.   Each breath becomes a prayer I offer.  I Breathe Deeply and Say Many Prayers.   In Hope and Respect for Humanity.  Out Wisdom and a Desire to live in Peace.

Each Breath As A Prayer!

Beloveds---

 Today with Gratitude, may we open our hearts to neighbors everywhere. May we offer our resources and good wishes to the Ones in front of us. May we look across the World and help where we can, even if it is Only Our Prayers.

In fact Prayers of Compassion, Healing and Love are the most important gift we can offer because it shifts thought patterns, opens the heart to Faith. Prayer can inspire us to work together as the invisible doors of our hearts o...pen to Grace.

Breathe Deeply Ten Times. Breathe In Love. Breathe Out Love.

As we allow each Breath of Unselfish Love to become a Prayer, we become aware that Our Blessed Creator Lives through Us. Therein lies the Miracle!

Blessed Be YOU and Your Beautiful Heart!
