Gratitude And Ponderings
1- home for just one day
but ah! it feels good to the bones
to be home @ our Fish River
dwelling place
2- [notes from Guy Finley's
FEARLESS LIVING:
LET GO AND GROW BEYOND
THE LIMITATION OF ILLUSIONS]
Key Lesson: The true depth
and breadth of the heart
is measured not only by
what it can hold,
but also by how willing
it is to let go.
(who new
whole new)
3- our True Self
the presence of a timeless
Light within us
whose power makes
all things possible
whose presence makes
things right
a source of courage
@ the very center of us
our fearless nature
4- recover our native fearlessness. . .
soon comes a whole new way to
live
laugh
and love
5- this indwelling Light
/still small voice within us
that is incapable of
compromising itself
and that would rather perish
than cause unnecessary pain
to another
6- this celestial part of
our consciousness
lives in everyone
> our conscience is one
7- By the Light we are empowered
to see things as they are
to understand
and to become the very things
we have sought for
and fought for
all of our lives:
compassion
wisdom
kindness
courage
and love
8- our spiritual task,
assuming we are stirred
to seek
is to awaken ourselves
to this indwelling Living Light
and become what is
right
and bright
Our True Self
9- revelation: No fearful sense
of limitation/ inadequacy
belongs to our True Self
10- we already have
everything we need
to succeed
11- we are consciously grateful
for our life's ceaseless unfolding
12- our soul task
is to release ourselves
from an unconscious relationship
with a false self
13 [ESSENE BOOK OF DAYS]
today: I will bring the spirit of
Inner Glow to my: radiating of
the light within my spirit
14- feelings: i wish everyone
the whole world over
could begin their day
with a song in their heart
that uplifts their spirits
and fills their cup to the brim
and overflowing
with good ju-ju stuff
so that it sloshes over
onto all they meet
on the trails they walk
each day
