MY HEART KNOWS THAT LOVE ALONE IS REAL In The Sweet Sanctuary Within “Seek ye first the Kingdom Of God, And His righteousness— And all these things shall Be added unto you.” —Matthew 6:33 Every moment, with every breath I am seeking for the way to being higher, Clearer, more loving, more conscious And ever closer to the Beloved within. With each breath, I am awakening— Even though these earthly eyes May see only darkness and despair, My heart knows that Love alone is true. Companions may come and companions may go, But the eternal Self ever remains within me And from my true Self there can never be Any separation—no coming, no going away. If I want and wait and long for Beloveds to love and care for me… If I continue seeing anyone or anything As my source of happiness and love— Then it is certain that I will be hurt Disappointed, frustrated and betrayed, So I know I can no longer hold onto anyone Or anything outside that can come and go. Thus, every moment, with every breath I am seeking for the way to being higher, Clearer, more loving, more conscious and Ever closer to the Beloved living in my heart. With each breath and beat of my heart I seek the sweetness that is ever rising within— I seek for the peace, power and presence of God Who is ever calling me into my own inner sanctuary.

CELEBRATING THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES Of This New Day Early mornings are precious And every one of them is a gift That I get to unwrap and use when I get up from the field of dreams and Move past the grogginess of sleep, to Waking up this body, this mind and this heart As I tap into the celebration already under way All around me in all of nature As all living beings are rising up to sing With the rising of the sun. It is a new day of unlimited possibilities— I choose not to speak, but to tune into the Flow of silent blessings going on all around me. I am very aware that each new day is mine To create in and explore, to use to raise myself Ever closer to God — because I know only this present Moment belongs to me—I choose to use it to live In Love with my self, my beloved and all that is.
