Blankets of sunshine
Shower over me with love
And I feel just fine
Time will always heal
Though time itself isn't real
Clock's turning the wheel
When the lightening strikes
The sky turns a purple shade
Illuminates night
Red robin perches
The breeze blows the white flowers
Sounds, scents, scenes, nature.
Laughing playfully
Remember your inner peace
Creativity
Focus energy
Breathing deeply with intent
Manifesting YOU
Everything flows
Flows through you and flows through me
Oneness energy
Strength, show me courage
Happiness, show me the light
You, show me your heart
The wind stings my cheek
And sends a chill down my spine
Hello there, Spirit

A Conglomeration of Haikus :)
Zen
You are beautiful
Green grass tickling my toes
And your button nose
This is what I see
Mirrors staring back at me
Everyone I meet
Reckless abandon
Fade into my darkness love
Such sweet surrender
Earth's only spirit
Spinning wild, spinning freely
Spinning into be
Butterflies are free
Always flying with the wind
Soaring merrily
Mistaken for sweet
Convoluted chaos source
Mystery unravel
Bitten off too much
Twirling down the rabbit hole
Face to face I see
My darkness empowers
Through its fog, I see your face
Alive but not free
Solace you endow
Leaking in my deepest thoughts
A striking light force
Beautifully forgotten
Alone but not yet fragile
Fill her heart with hope
Underestimate
Chaos whispers in my ear
The mystery's me
Embrace the warm air
Let it settle around me
And help me to dream
The waves crash on shore
Beginning again anew
Becoming water
The light is rising
Dawn brings forth the sun again
And we are all one
Intoxicating
Breathing spirit into mind
I'm awakening
I am the flower
Growing up from the Earth's dirt
Sparkling in the sun
Patience is painful
Bittersweet and virtuous
It is worth the wait
Invisible man,
Break down the walls that bind you
Come, let me find you
Rivers to walk on
Or perhaps mountains to move
Ordinary life
You are beautiful
Green grass tickling my toes
And your button nose
This is what I see
Mirrors staring back at me
Everyone I meet
Reckless abandon
Fade into my darkness love
Such sweet surrender
Earth's only spirit
Spinning wild, spinning freely
Spinning into be
Butterflies are free
Always flying with the wind
Soaring merrily
Mistaken for sweet
Convoluted chaos source
Mystery unravel
Bitten off too much
Twirling down the rabbit hole
Face to face I see
My darkness empowers
Through its fog, I see your face
Alive but not free
Solace you endow
Leaking in my deepest thoughts
A striking light force
Beautifully forgotten
Alone but not yet fragile
Fill her heart with hope
Underestimate
Chaos whispers in my ear
The mystery's me
Embrace the warm air
Let it settle around me
And help me to dream
The waves crash on shore
Beginning again anew
Becoming water
The light is rising
Dawn brings forth the sun again
And we are all one
Intoxicating
Breathing spirit into mind
I'm awakening
I am the flower
Growing up from the Earth's dirt

Patience is painful
Bittersweet and virtuous
It is worth the wait
Invisible man,
Break down the walls that bind you
Come, let me find you
Rivers to walk on

Good Quotes for the Week
The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that the warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse. - Don Juan
Failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying. - B F. Skinner
God made everything out of nothing. But the nothingness shows through -Paul Valery
Did you ever notice how difficult it is to argue with someone who is not obsessed with being right? - Wayne W. Dyer
It is simple. We are where we should be, doing what we should be doing. Otherwise we would be somewhere else, doing something else.
“The world doesn't owe you anything. It was here first.” ~ Mark Twain
The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself -Henry Miller
Being nice, patient, responsible people does not make us door mats. Choosing to be the best people possible, regardless how others choose to behave, means we are in control of ourselves rather than simply being the puppet of our irresponsible ego. Ego is NOT capable of choosing our 'best' behavior. So being in control of our ego to create life with positive purpose actually makes us the powerful ones.
Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with
A love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
((((( Hafiz )))))

The Most Important Things I've Learned on my Spiritual Path
~ I don't have to be right. It doesn't matter who's right, it matters what's right.
~ My thoughts are not me. They encompass me, but they are not who I am. My mind is a perfect servant, but a lousy master. Although I live this life through my thoughts, I am so much more than that.
~ Judging is almost too easy, but sweet freedom really lies in just letting everything go.
~ We're never truly alone. If you're feeling lonely, go sit with the flowers or watch the trees waving their branches at you. They see you, they feel you, they smell you, they hear you. Don't forget The Spirit lives inside all of us and will comfort you anytime you experience loneliness.

Quote for the Week: Inner Beauty

Florence & the Machine
I saw these guys on So You Think You Can Dance this week, and let me just say, I became a fan instantly. Florence, the lead singer, has an amazing soul-filled voice, it's intoxicating. The drums, the harp, the whole ensemble was just spectacular. The video is also amazing, so I just had to share. Here is the youtube video, followed by the lyrics to the song that sent chills through my body the first time I heard it, Cosmic Love.
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
