You Are The Gift

You are the gift to give to others

you come

from many fathers and many mothers

you travel all paths of learning

and generally just one yearning

to be seen and loved.

And here you are dear loving one

you feel the peace as now you know

Grace it comes and Grace it shows

when you reach for the Highest Light

and shine within through every night

and the sun of life brilliantly

lights every way for you to see.

Every path leads you home

faith and trust ease the way

then you see we are the same

we are lit from one Eternal Flame.

We Sit Within

When we leave the space

between the lines

between the words

between our thoughts

we receive clarity we have been searching for

we see peaceful calm beyond the door,

we see the honesty we always knew

we see ourselves being true

we know at last we always were 

the light

that shone above our heads

now glowing within so we feel

our peace has come

our life is real

our way of being is simple now

our heart is open

and we somehow feel whole,

feel safe

having arrived into a welcome place.

We sit within

we know ourselves

we wonder why it took so long

but when we ask, we hear the voice

bringing the answer we always knew

“when you love yourself as I do”

then you will be the strength

the one to trust

the truth of you will be shining through

and all around the light you bring

will be the path to everything.

The only path to find yourself

is to go within, to ask to see

what truth you need to set you free.

And there it is …..

When you give up the need

to know why things are the way they are

you will receive the knowing

* “Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists”

The Light You Bring

"In you is all of Heaven.

Every leaf that falls is given life in you.

Each bird that ever sang will sing again in you.

And every flower that ever bloomed has saved it’s perfume and it’s loveliness for you."
