Nature has a way of blowing us away. Sometimes there is something extraordinary … blowsy, outgoing, ebullient, even fierce, that takes our breath away. Life does it too, but nature can put on a huge show and these peonies from my garden are showing off whether they are seen or not. They are just shouting loud about themselves as they are. How full of life, light, joy and colour these are. They are fully ON.

We are nature but I am not sure we all have the confidence to be quite so bold. But why not? I feel I should be expressing the same divinity that is within all things with fulsome sass, great energy, gratitude, wonder and a whack of showing off.

Yes, let’s all be the enormity of who we really are. No more hiding. Exuberance is being truthful.

In extremis. In excelsis

In the farthest depths…

In the highest places …

We are loved.

We are Divine Love.

Scuplture from exhibition Delamore Arts, May 2010

Chaos and calm

fear and resolve

then a day dawns

when you wake up and feel

It’s okay. It’s better. It’s clearing.

Where does the memory

of those hard times go?

Where does the dark go when

the sun shines?

… then what can we do to be part of that ?

You are part of it as a natural consequence of your very being.

You are already all you need to be, in any one moment, and cannot,

as decreed by Divine law, be anything else.

You only have to ‘Be Still’ to know this truth.

You can make changes in the world by

Changing your view and understanding that

All is well, in every moment, no matter what the ‘world story’ presents as truth.

How do you know that?

In moments of peace, it becomes apparent. Be still

And you will never question it again

You will seek out that peace more often.

Then you will see how love illumines life.

Some days you know you are the ‘I Am’ you hear about.

The wholeness, and joy, the expression of Divine being.

In that moment you are completely at one, whole and still,

at peace with yourself. And then things fall into place.

This year is moving to a close.

We can see where we were

and where we are now. Sometimes it looks good,

sometimes we feel sorrow.

To be in a year at all is a blessing.

To have the time to ponder, regret

and absorb is a joy, and soon we will cycle around again.

How will we make the next one?

With love?

Mankind knows how to be 
when it’s at its best.
It knows that sense
Of silent awe, 
an intake of purity, a paused thought
Of home, of peace for all
A deep alignment, a care
For fairness, giving, welcome,
Heart-stanced infinite love to share
Let’s be what we cannot help but be
Man-kind.

This is your day, Divinity
Not ours to moan and cry
We should be rejoicing
Not voicing
Our fears and ego’s claims
On why and how did this or that
Become our life.

Each day is Yours 
All good is there, and here
Blessings raining down
Each day is brimful for 
Our cupped hands
To be enhanced, to know the gold.

A haven that remains in place
Regardless of the view
For us to pick and choose
The parts we wish to make 
our own
To see beneath the veil 
And make ourselves completely whole.

If there’s one thing you want or need to hear today 

is it that you are loved?

Well, you are loved.

And another thing … 

You are cared for.

Also  …

You are held in the highest esteem

And finally …

You are what you were always meant to be.

Just being it is how you feel loved.
