ESSENTIAL OIL 14 Bay

I vow to become the storyteller.
Only I am empowered to tell my own story.
Is the script I am writing
empowering myself
and others?
Do my thoughts
words
and deeds
reflect the universal truth
of living the Highest Good For All?
Are the stories I author
and the endeavors I join in
guided by the principle of
creating beauty to everyone involved?
The key to writing healing tales is
the practice of beauty,
for stories without beauty
can only bring suffering.
The Navaho poets wrote:
"Beauty before me
beauty behind me
beauty all around me.
In beauty I walk..."

ESSENTIAL OIL 8 Scented Geranium

Do I recognize my sameness with others?
Do I see that we're all on this earth
together as brothers and sisters?
When I meet someone and consider them
different from me
am I willing to chant:
"S/he drew a circle that shut me out,
heretic, rebel, a thing to flaunt
but love and I had the wit to win,
we drew a circle that
took her/him in."?
