Love and Live Like Nature

Matthew 6:25-34

 25 "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

 28 "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

 31 "So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

 34 "So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.

Fear Not

What is it that you fear the most?

Challenge it and over come.

See beyond the fearful concepts,

As your mind is playing a trick on you.

Ego is the world you mind worships in,

Before love reigns supreme.

Fear is the river flowing through what is peaceful behind the scenes.

Cleanse the turbulent river to become golden streams of confidence,

As one proceeds a rainbow will appear over the horizon.

What are you afraid of?

Meet it face to face,

Realize this fear you're seeing is a figment of your doubts.

Commitment to the journey relinquishes power in the mind,

For worry shines no longer when you face that which scares you most.

Leaving only the thankfulness of a layer you've ripped off,

For all life is in layers until you reach the core of peace and love.

Lead with the Heart

Instead of trying, do.

Instead of lusting, love.

Instead of worry, have faith.

Instead of fearing, trust.

Instead of sinful, find pleasure.

Instead of being difficult, stay committed.

Instead of judgment, seek oneness.

Instead of pain, see growth.

Instead of when, it's now.

 

 

 

 
 

Building your mental muscles.

 
 

Most people will view strength training of the body and strengthening of the mind as opposing pastimes. In reality the body and the mind work hand in hand to create the entire package of wellness. It is essential to have a mind/body/spirit connection and by incorporating meditation, physical activity, healthy eating and creativity in a daily life style, is crucial for continual growth and happiness. The follow link from 'Shamhala Sun'- a Buddhist practice- shows the importance of meditation and physical activity and how they are very similar practices focusing on different aspects of the self.

What was before is no longer

Hidden behind the veils of sinful pleasure,

Suppressed emotion that before was seen as a less than arbitrary existence.

Forced upon the hands of man uncountable times,

Bathes the notion of love with a murky mesh of nonsensical judgment.

Others opinions, stripping the pedals off the purity of love making.

Only until standing bare, does the physical body encapsulate all that is divine creation.

An attraction, a lust, a calling to experience more.

With another, one another, another lover and more.

The yearning passionate desire, accepted by the present moment.

The observer to your thoughts along with your actions and your wants.

A lingering intrigue of passionate foreplay,

followed by endless calls for the indoctrination of new sensual desire.

Playful and arousing.

Candid and euphoric.

All encompassing bliss that is awakening, aware, and applied to the beat of a heart under the bed sheets.

Intimacy is a gift. A relinquished quest of pleasurable existence.

To be entranced, enjoyed and wooed.

Forever yearning, forever wanting that initial communion to forever intertwine naked bodies into present oneness.

 
 

I am Connected

I am connected.

Life force around and through me,

Gently nudging like a deer to her fawn,

To awaken the base of the stand

That allows me to hold the world in my hands.

Standing as firm as a tree,

Trekking as far as the eye can see.

When gone as far as could be seen; a new path is illuminated before me.

Free from fear, faith instilled.

Forever following the life force within.

I am connected to it all.
