Top five places to visit :
You heart
Your soul
Your mind
Your compassion
and your smile.
Definitely visit your smile.
I am human and I am here
The other day I heard someone say their faith described everyone as broken.
What a terrible burden of worthlessness to be laid on every
shoulder. And I felt moved at the thought of this to try and find an understanding of what we are.
What am I?
I am a part of
everything, everything is interconnected and I house a great sense of
belonging to all things and being of all things. So I am reminded at
all times of how we are all here, together, here and now on this
planet and while all things pass, nothing is ever lost. It is simply part of the ebb and flow of the universe pouring through all of us,
this precious gift of life.
And with this gift we have a way to find hope, nurture love, practise kindness and keep the divine in our hearts as best we can. We are not broken. We
are human. Don't waste time waiting for a miracle, be the miracle that your life is.
A little Festival of Hope
Next year I am making 2018 a little Festival of Hope. You are welcome to join me.
The View
Silver running
And cobalt blue
St Catherine
St Julian
And St Joan
All the thrones
Turning the sky
My thirsty soul
Turns to the view
And drinks deep
Rinsed in light
Silver running
And cobalt blue
This rock
This throne
This sky
This stone
St Catherine
St Julien
And St Joan
This land
Bathed in light
Love calls home
Love calls home
St Margaret's Chapel
There is a stillness in
the air
Feather gently floating
A warmth of rose and
lavender
Wrapped up in this
scent
A candle, now lit,
reaching out
A light to lift eyes
and spirit
To the sky ringing
above the bell
And gladness fills the
heart
Hope is now a chalice
full
Of quiet angels
Love not Hate
As Valentine's Day approaches, I was searching round for a poem to celebrate the day when I found this one I wrote in 2006. Sadly, it still seems relevant to the world today.
Love not Hate
Love not Hate
Sometimes
the news is hard enough to hear
Let
alone live through
We
have let hate win
If
we allow for one minute, these borders of fear
To
run among us
Dividing
our hearts, separating our minds
The
truth is this
The
dogmatic mindset that brings violence, distrust
Fear
and hate to every doorstep is no weapon at all
Against
love
The
sanctuary you crave is the human heart
And
it beats in every one of us
Violence
cannot win
Because
it cannot see
How
blind it is
To
the truth
The
walls of hate it builds
Only
serve to imprison it
The
human heart will always fly free
