OUR LOVING SWEET DESTINY I love to hear you sing With the sweet angelic voice I heard in meditation For years before we met. I love to hear you singing To the Lord we both serve And yearn to be ever closer to, As your voice rises in loving devotion. I love to feel the love Flowing between the three of Us—you, me and God, until This great river of Love Takes us up into the One. I love gazing into your eyes, The touch of your heart In mine which says “I love you eternally, Just as you are, just as You will be and become.” I love our days and nights Of good and hard, clear And cloudy things, knowing And unknowing, seeking and Finding, of caught, then ever free. I love our love’s flow In all the times And all the ways We are together, For this love is the Purpose and guiding Light of our births— This is the love that Is healing our hearts, Lifting our battered spirits, Restoring and healing us both, As we fulfill our sweet destiny.

THROUGH THE FIRE Doubled over in pain, My body receives Wave upon wave Of attacks from Internal dark forces. As this sickness continues, Even perfect sunny days Lose their enlivening flavor And I slip into a sleep Of strange twisted dreams. Yet, even as I pass Through the fire and flames Of unwanted weakness and pain, I shift my attitude From being a victim Of disease to Claiming another step In the training I must have To become free. This sickness is my friend, Not my enemy, giving me A golden opportunity To deeply understand What all sickness is, Where it comes from And why— Through this illness I begin to see the suffering Of all of humanity and My pillow is wet With compassionate tears.

“All the happiness, health and abundance we will ever experience in our lives flows from our ability to love, to know love, to share love, to receive love and be love in this world of beauty and pain…for Love is our true nature, our purpose, guiding light and sweet destiny.”
