The Core

The Core

09/29/11

Look inside to your very core.

Deep inside

where your true essence resides.

For there you will find

a boundless energy

of love, of life.

Listen to it, heed its call.

It draws you to who you were meant to be.

It is the very essence of who you really are.

So take the journey to your very core

and find out who you really are.

God blesses you and yours this day and every day, Keith

Starry Night

Starry Night  09/28/11

Stole that title from Vincent Van Gogh,

his most famous painting you know.

As I look to the sky the big dipper catches my eye.

It’s been a long time since I’ve looked up

and seen you grace my eyes.

As I wonder how very, very many stars there are

in this dimly lit early morning sky.

I remember reading over 400 billion galaxies there be.

Now I wonder why,

I see so many stars in this sky,

how can it be?

For actually it’s like just one tiny drop of them

that I truly see,

in this vast ocean of the sky

that we humans call the universe.

It’s like an endless sea

stretching out for all eternity.

Ahhh we humans like to think we know it all.

When in actuality we are so very, very small.

We puff ourselves up,

because we cannot comprehend

the enormity of it all!

For in the end we are so very, very small.

But what a wonder it would be

if we could truly comprehend it all.

Then we would be as vast as all eternity,

and totally connected to our true spirituality.

You are not a drop in the ocean.

You are the entire ocean in a drop.

- Rumi -

All My Love Always, Keith

Glow

Glow

09/28/11

Let your aura Glow with the light of God.

The light of unconditional love.

It is visible you know,

for they’ve proven it with aural photography.

So Let it GLOW so everyone knows,

so that others you meet may know,

that the Spirit of God truly lives within you.

Met with the Reverend Doug yesterday

and he recommended I try meditating

early in the day when I first wake up.

So here I sit interrupting my morning workout

and writing some more.

This came to me while on the treadmill

with my eyes closed, lost in thought,

and wondrous music playing in my ears.

I’ve realized

that I’ve turned my treadmill workouts

into moving meditations.

Thanks Rev. Doug.

Take some time today

to silence your mind

and still your thoughts.

May you find meditation

opens you up

to who you really are.

A spiritual being

having a human experience.

God blesses you and yours this day and every day, Keith

Back To Me

Back To Me

9/25/11

For losing my wife - brought my faith back to me.

For I never lost my faith

but I believed so very casually.

But losing my wife so suddenly,

I was shaken to the very core of me.

She was gone from me,

how I longed for it not to be.

There was this huge void in me:

could I ever get back to just being me?

It was not to be

there was this change

going on in me.

At first I knew not

what would become of me.

How was this to be?

For at this point:

I did not even believe in me.

Then one Spring morn

this change began to come over me,

I had no idea what it could be.

Why was this happening to me?

There was a void - that filled - it had to be,

and out of that void - stepped the Presence of God.

Guiding me back ever so gently - not to me - but to the real me.

The one that he has chosen for me,

the spiritual me

for now I see - I was chosen to bring a message to thee.

That God is everywhere for you to see,

he speaks to us through the wind in the trees.

In ways that make you pause,

for that is the trick you see.

You must be open and willing to see,

willing to see in ways that are not all eyes.

It may be a line in a song

that gives you pause

or a casual encounter.

Just remember when you pause

to you he is speaking directly

that’s right to you,

he’s speaking directly to you,

but it’s only for you to see.

For most people just go on their way merrily,

not realizing they even got a message.

For in the end it’s up to you - to see,

and for that I am so very grateful

that now I have learned how to see.

Not with my eyes but with my spiritual soul.

For the messages are sent in so many different ways,

and now I see the presence in me.

The presence,

I see it everywhere,

the presence is everywhere

and so now you see

how losing my wife brought my faith back to me!

All my love always, Keith

Angels of the Presence

Angels of the Presence

09/25/11

As I walk along,

the wind gently whistle’s in my ear.

As if angels wings are on the move,

rushing off to do their good work.

A warm gentle breeze it is.

It caresses you as your mother did.

It moves the mind to places remembered.

Ahhhhh to be human is such a gift!

All my love always, Keith

College Days

College Days 09/24/11 I had a conversation just the other day, one that made me stop and remember my college days. Those nights where you stayed up so very late, having discussions on the meaning of life and philosophy. As we sat there eating lunch she looked at me and said “You mean there’s more than me?” I commented oh there’s more of us, ones who still talk of philosophy. Ones who explore the possibilities that there’s more to life than just what you see. So much more of that I am sure, for now I have re-awakened to the endless possibilities that keep unfolding every day. I know that others see it this way for they have guided me along my way. I would dearly love to have more discussions as these, they bring back memories of my college days. Days of dreams and endless possibilities. This day I am grateful I was reminded of my college days For it brought dreams of better days ahead for me. Back to the reality that I choose to dream and create a vision of these for I am not the man I choose yet to be. May the realization of the endless possibilities wash over you at some point today. May you realize your spiritual nature is calling for you to nurture it with acts of love and kindness so that it may grow into it’s endless possibilities. All my love always, Keith

Attitudinal Healing

Attitudinal Healing

02.20.15

I was reading a very interesting article

explaining Attitudinal Healing in Unity magazine the other day.

Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. a Psychiatrist wrote a book

back in 1975 called Love is Letting Go of Fear.

That book propelled his Attitudinal Healing approach

to a very diverse audience.

He states: “The real emphasis is having peace of mind

as your only function.

Attitudinal Healing is about letting go of blocks

we put in the way of experiencing

the love we are born with; the love God created as us.

We’re not just physical bodies – we’re really spiritual beings.

We’re here to choose peace and love rather than fear,

to be love-givers rather than love-seekers

and love-finders rather than fault-finders.”

They go on to discuss why is it so hard

to hold onto happiness as our natural state?

He replies: “Attitudinal Healing is not about changing other people.

It’s about healing our own attitudes.

That’s why we say your attitude is everything.

When I get rid of judgments about myself,

other people, and my self-imposed limitations,

I start to see the world differently.

Then, nothing is impossible.

In that, I find freedom.

And that freedom is surrendering to love, to a higher power.

It’s surrendering to God.”

They mention willingness as a bridge

to shifting your attitude.

Dr. Jampolsky responds: “You just hit bingo!

It’s all about the willingness to see things differently,

the willingness to let go of the past and let go of form.

I think we need to be vigorously involved in that willingness

and not get caught in old habits of being defensive and pessimistic

and thinking the past is going to repeat itself.”

There’s a network of centers teaching this

in over 200 cities in 27 different countries.

It’s all about choice and choosing your attitude,

may you choose one aligned with love.

God blesses you and yours this day and every day, Keith

There’s A Light Rain Today

There’s A Light Rain Today

9/19/11

There’s a light rain today.

One of my dogs got away.

Kiki, the little black one, is off to play.

She’ll probably be gone the whole day through,

for that’s her way when she gets away.

She just loves to play

rain or shine, she’s going to play.

I just know she’ll have a wonderful day.

My hope is you’ll think of this later today,

and take a moment to play

and have yourself a wonderful day.

All my love always, Keith

Your Vision

Your Vision  09/22/11

I awake at 3 am, not again I say.

Visions, in my head, of the new me floating away,

for I have been attending a class

on how to create these visions of me.

Visions you say what are they?

Of a new life you want to live, I say.

For if you have not a clear vision

of where you want to be

you just wander through life aimlessly.

And why do I share this with thee?

In the hopes

that you’ve seen these changes in me

and realize,

maybe if I have visions of a new me,

this just could be me!

Your Visions of You

and Your New Life

and How Very Good It Could Be.

Now Go And Write

Your Visions Of Who

You Really Want To Be!

All my love always, Keith

For Now You See

For Now You See 

09/18/11

                                                               

As I walk this morning I remember the early days of grief

so overwhelming as they were,

 full of tears that cascaded from me like an endless sea.

I realize now that’s the way it had to be,

for I needed to make a space for thee.

Into that vast dark, bottomless, void you left in me

walked in the PRESENCE OF GOD you see.

As the wind blows through the trees

I listen to the rustle of the leaves

as if God is whispering to me.

 I turn to head for home

I look up through the clouds and see

the moon is framed by a luminescent ring

as if God is reminding me

of your first visit to me.

That night I shot up in bed,

your face hovering over me,

that gentle kiss I felt so firmly on my lips

that radiant glow that surrounded you so.

From then on I knew

I could never really lose you.

For Now You See A Guardian Angel

named Jane E. Walks

Hand In Hand With GOD and Me.

All my love always, Keith

On Books and Other Musings

On Books and Other Musings

09/17/11  

I stopped in to see some dear friends last night.

I related how the first book I read on this journey had three key takeaways.

There are no coincidences, keep an open mind,

and watch for signs (be aware they are everywhere).

After two wonderful hours of discussion

I left with Jimmye and Jim imploring me to keep it up, keep writing.

I get home.  I have received a book I ordered from Amazon.

The name of it is A Course In Miracles,

it arrives on the day Jane crossed over.

I open the book, way in the back, near the end of the book.

The very first line I read:

A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one.

Now again I say: there are no coincidences,

keep an open mind,

and watch for signs (be aware they are everywhere).

I reflect back to the conversation I had with Kim and Jackie earlier in the day.

I asked Jackie remember that day?

I was relating how I had awakened so very early one day

and I told you –“You Are Here To Teach” - arose strongly in my mind.

I looked at you somewhat incredulously

when you told me

I was having a discussion with the Holy Spirit.

So as I recounted this, I told her this day,

it has dawned on me

that these emails have become just that - teachings.

For I learn from your responses

things I do not realize myself at first

that my emails are spreading the word. His Word.

I got an email from Betty

she tells me it’s been unbelievable to read my emails

and see how I have changed.

She goes on to tell me to realize

that by relating this to others they are changing too.

Kathy sends me an email after receiving my Ahhhh Moon shadows post yesterday.

Jane is definitely your guardian angel!!!   You are very blessed!!!

Jim and Cynthia dropped by the shop, I am away, I missed them, oh how I wish I hadn’t.

They leave a card with an ancient Eskimo saying that stars are our loved ones spirits

shining down on us so that we shall remember them.

As I walk again this day I look to the heavens

and see the moon and that lone star flitting about in a cloudy sky.

I remember that GOD and my Guardian Angel will always be at my side.

I walk along so early on this day and it’s so very dark,

three Bradford Pears trees so faintly appear from the darkness.

I think not of them as trees but that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost

have come to greet me as I start another day.

May Your Day Be Blessed With A Moment Like That Today:

A Moment Of Quiet, Stillness, and Solitude,

 

WHEN YOU TOO REALIZE THE PRESENCE IS WITHIN YOU!

All my love always, Keith 

Spiritual Practice

Spiritual Practice

01.30.15

Over the years now I’ve developed a spiritual practice.

It started with just reading some spiritual tome I had put my hands on.

Sitting there silently early in the day with my wife by my side,

both of us just enjoying our presence together.

Reading and probing thought provoking literature with our minds,

occasionally discussing something that really resonates with us.

I often Thank God as soon as I realize I am awake in the morning.

That’s morphed into thanking God whenever I wake up during the night too.

Thanking God as I drift off to sleep.

I’ve added silent and guided meditations and prayer.

I practice Qigong nearly every day.

I’ve incorporated sending love and light to people near and dear to me

and to anyone who just comes to mind during my Qigong practice.  

Some days the energy feels so very powerful,

some days not.

I send it anyways for you never really know

who needs it, or when, nor how much.

We all seem so wrapped up in our lives and so very busy.

That’s what makes your spiritual practice so important.

You are taking time to nurture your connection with all that is.

It’s not about what you read or practice.

It’s about taking the time to honor your spiritual self.

In whatever form that takes.

Mine is like the shifting sands on a beach,

a little different every day.

The gentle swells of something much deeper in me

being allowed their time in the sun.

Take time daily to honor who you are,

a spiritual being having a human experience.

Allow your spirit to grow and experience

by giving love in every form it can imagine.

Practice that every day and there you have it

your own spiritual practice.

Psalms 145:18

The Lord is near to all who call upon him,

to all who call upon him in truth.

God Blesses you and yours this day and every day, Keith

The Power of Music

The Power Of Music

9/17/11

Friends as I start this day

as the sun brings another joyous day,

I choose not instrumental music this morning to fill my ears.

The music and powerful lyrics of Josh Groban

spills through my ears

and I’m reminded of all those wonderful songs

I’ve listened to

over these last few months,

for my taste in music

has changed so very much too.

“I Set Myself Free”

I always mentally finish that one with

...by surrendering to GOD...

“Love That’s The Answer, Nothing Else Can Play The Part,

Only Love Can Feed The Hunger In Our Hearts,

That’s The Answer, The Only Answer,

Love That’s the Only Answer”

“Believe In What Your Heart Is Saying,

Hear the Melody That Is Playing”

“Did You Ever Know That You’re My Hero,

You're Everything That I Wish I Could Be

I Would Be Nothing Without You....

You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings”

“I’ll Be There,

There When the Darkness Falls Around You, 

I’ll There When There Are No Words Of Comfort,

Reach Out To Me”

“You Raise Me Up ...

I Am Strong When I Am On Your Shoulders,

You Raise Me Up To More Than I Can Be”

“And Isn’t Faith Believing

All Power Can’t Be Seen”

“I Saw The God Inside Us

Would Create A Better Place”

“You Have Everything You Need

If You Just Believe”

Enjoy your day,

may a song lift your spirit

and love fill you heart.

All my love always, Keith
