Curiosity

You'll never know what lies below

unless you go there.

You'll never know what lies within

unless you explore there.

So take a journey into your Soul

and find out who you really are.

New Day Rising

Rising

Sitting in meditation

as I start this day

my eyes closed in a darkness

that is ever so slowly lifted

as the sun rises.

The sun's increasing brightness

is seen even with shuttered eyes.

Then this feeling

of a growing warmth

caresses my face

as it melds with the light

that has pushed me

into the awareness

of a new day rising.

I get up from my meditation

and take a seat outside.

Sipping my warm beverage

and listening to the bird's sing

as if greeting the new day.

I see a branch move.

A bird takes flight

into the new dawn.

A cardinal is sitting on a wire

chirps then launches

into the air and whisks away.

These are the images and things

I sense on this start

of another beautiful day.

A peaceful, serene feeling

comes over me

as I sit in awareness

of a new day rising.

I set my intention

to carry the rising sun's gift

of serenity and peace

throughout this day.

All My Love Always, Keith

I Am . . . .

I am . . . . 

I was hunting around for a meditation on YouTube today.

Not sure where I would end up

but led to something I knew I would be.

I wound up enjoying a Wayne Dyer I Am meditation.

He gave a few minutes of suggestions

before the actual meditation

suggesting that we use the words,

I Am as we meditated.

I followed his suggestions

and what came was I Am Fearless.

Knowing that has been an issue for me since I was a child.

I have this fear of being accepted of not fitting in.

When I Am Fearless arose in my mind,

I knew it was strongly rooted

in those childhood concerns

that I still carry with me.

As I've stepped into my Spirituality

in ways, I never considered possible or even real

I know they are still with me.

Tugging at me as I step deeper

into this Spiritual realm that at times

seems so out of the mainstream of acceptance,

forcing me to tread back

into that fear I still have.

I continued with that I Am Fearless mantra for some time

then let it branch off into some affirmations

I have used off and on this last year or so.

But when it came to feeling led to write about it

I knew the reason was fear.

So today I am practicing being fearless.

Rising above my past and looking at it in a new way,

and shifting my focus to dealing with it in a new way.

I know I can continue to grow,

learn, and most importantly change.

I have said in these pages before,

and I'll end with this.  I believe we are here:

To  Grow  In  Love,

To  Share  In  Love,

To  Be  Love,

And  To  See  Where  It  Takes  Us.

Sometimes that means taking a look inward

and being willing to face an old fear.

Will I become fearless, and confident in my skin,

in my beliefs, and be ready to express them openly,

to truly own who I have become?

That remains to be seen,

but one thing is for certain

if I don't examine my fears

and challenge myself to find ways to change them

they will never change

they will just be a lifelong companion.

All   My   Love   Always,   Keith

NAMASTE'

An Ancient Sanskrit Blessing

"I honor the place in you where Spirit lives

I honor the place in you which is

of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace

and I am in that place in me,

then we are One."

If I Were A Tree

If I Were A Tree

The early morning sun filters in.

A cool breeze blows.

There is a softness to the air,

a lightness.

A chipmunk fills its pouches

with seed that hits the deck

from the birds feeding above.

The birds chirp in the woods all around me.

My leaves rustle, my limbs move about

as birds flit to and fro.

The wind freshens

giving my branches and foliage a voice

that they have not.

I observe

anchored there in silence

this day as it unfolds

in its singular and unique way.

Yes if I were a tree

 I would dearly love

this breezy day.

Standing so quiet and still

yet feeling the coolness

of the Zephyr as it moves me.

I so enjoy the wind

for it moves me

in ways, I cannot.

My limbs wave and sway

in appreciation

of the movement

brought to them.

Yes if I were a tree

I would love days

such as these.

All My Love Always, Keith

Run

Surrender the questioning whys.

Having Faith in your beingness

that this Spiritual Flow you question

must be Trusted.

For all that it is doing

is Lovingly guiding you

in your Spiritual unfoldment.

Reflections On Rumi

Reflections on Rumi.

A Sufi mystic and poet from the 1200's

his writings move me deeply,

touching my heart

pulling on its strings.

Drawing me into a contemplation

of the significance of this thing

we call existence.

There I question

and delve into the inner meaning

of this thing we call life.

There I tread to the brink of my reality

and explore what lies beyond

what I have come to view as fact.

Knowing that by stepping to the edge

and examining it

I can do nothing but expand it.

To bring even more questions

into the fold

and when I find answers

they in turn birth

new queries to examine.

   Ever broadening my reality

as my consciousness is taken

for a ride into the unknown

only to realize that there is no end.

This seeking, studying the light of what we are

leads to greater insights

and yet even more to pursue.

Ever brighter this light of understanding is,

yet ever unfinished it is too!

All My Love Always, Keith  

Perfectly Unique

Surrendering to live as the Higher Self,

the Veil of my human illusion

my life will Flow naturally from the Spiritual Self,

as I Trust in the knowing

that All Is Always Well In All Ways.
