Nourishing

Nourishing

Have you ever been caught in the middle
of an emotional, mental and spiritual storm?
Those times when you and or someone in your family
is facing challenges, sometimes multiple ones
all at the same time.
Those times when you just want to scream or cry
because it is what you do when you feel frustrated
not just by what happened,
but all the things that happen because of it.
It is those times where what you need more than anything else
is to feel like you are being held in the arms of the Ultimate
and rocked into comfort,
to feel the love and support of others.
That time when a simple act of kindness from others
is so amazing humbling,
your heart overflows with love
Then it comes and you are reminded
it is coming back from the love you gave.
When you are reminded the love you planted
has taken root in the world and spread.
We nourish others and they nourish us,
this is what love is about. 
It is about nourishing all we encounter,
knowing when we are going through,
someone will nourish us.

It Is Good

It is Good

I am always amazed at the wisdom of my elders,
especially as I age myself.
My Bubby used to advise me to
look for the good in every situation;
especially in the challenging of times.
There have been things I have been through
which may be seen as horrible,
but in the midst of it all,
I have seen the blessings and
the presence of the Ultimate.
In the midst of it I can reflect and say
it is good.
It is where my faith leads me
so that in the midst of illnesses
I can say it is good.
in the midst of grieving,
it is good.
in the midst of the pain,
it is is good.
It may not feel good,
It may not be what I wanted,
but the one who created me,
sustains me
and nurtures me
knows what my Bubby taught me to know
that in all of it is a blessing
and a space where I can say
it is good.

surprise!!!!

Surprise!!!!

Do you have eyes to see
or ears to hear?
Are you ready for how the Ultimate is
getting ready to surprise you?
It is so easy to be focused on the chaos,
the pain,
the challenges, and
the things we have to overcome,
that we miss the surprises in our life.
We miss the amazing way Spirit is embracing us.
We miss the signs the Ultimate cares about us.
We miss all those who are sharing
their loving hearts, kind souls and
their willingness to be of service and
be kind.
The surprises are not always huge,
but subtle.
They don’t always say surprise,
they just stop by to say hi and ask how you are?
The surprises come in those notes
reminding us we are loved.
The surprises sometimes come
when people randomly perform acts of kindness.
There are always the big surprises
but let’s look for  the little ones as well.
With each one,
let us hear
the universe saying
Surprise!

In the Midst

In the Midst

It is easy to see the presence of the Divine
when one is intentionally looking
or in one of those clearly spiritual moments.
However, what about in the everyday?
What about when you are
in the midst
of just living?
Like when you are stuck in traffic,
or dealing with an angry customer,
or someone in your family is upset,
or you are bored
confused,
or tired.
What keeps us from seeing what we see
when we see it?
Is it because we do not see or hear or understand
the way the Divine does?
Did you feel the presence as you breathed?
How about when you turned the water on
or brushed your teeth,
or washed your hands,
or just smiled at you?
What keeps us from sensing the presence of the Ultimate
in that which we see,
hear,
taste,
feel?
When we are in the midst of life,
may we remember
we are in the midst of the Ultimate.

Veins and Arteries

Veins and Arteries

Every time I go to the lab
they draw blood from my veins,
but my arteries are important too.
They are what distributes the oxygen, nutrients and hormones
to every part of my body.
We have the physical veins and arteries in our lives,
but we also have them in our daily lives.
They are the people in our life who nurture us
and help us grow
and grow and are nurtured because of us.
They are the good we do in the world
which flows back to us.
They are a reflection back to us
of what we radiate into the world.
They can only feed and nurture us
if we feed and nurture them.
The veins in our lives cannot function
without our arteries,
so may we remember to honor
both and remember their role
in the cycle of life

Have I Done Any Good in the World Today

What if we checked in
with ourselves and
asked if we had done any good
 in the world today.
What if we were focused on
making a difference
in the world
and in people’s lives.
Who have I helped today?
Have I cheered anyone up?
Have I made someone laugh?
Have I done something to lighten their load?
Have I shared with others?
Have I done anything to help others?
At the end of each day,
can I say yes.
If I want to be of service,
and do what I can to
help make this
heaven on earth

Looking for Good

My Bubby would remind me to
look for the good;
the blessings in a situation
and then know I am going to be ok.
it is easier to do this
when it is a personal issue,
then when it is a social justice issue.
I can see the good when
it means I avoided being hurt
or killed in an accident,
or in a hostile situation.
It is harder for me to see the good
when people are killed because
of their race,
their ethnicity,
their sexuality,
their religion,
or something which
triggers hate in others.
I hate when hate kills.
it saddens me beyond description.
Then I look at how people
are standing up,
speaking out,
coming together as allies
and I begin to see the good.
I see the good
when we talk openly about
systemic inequality,
about abuses of power,
about injustices.
I see the good
when people use their privilege and power
to bring about change,
to learn about how
we are part of the problem
and how we can also be
part of the solution.
It is in the midst of this ugliness,
that I see the good
and know that the Ultimate
sees a goodness that
surpasses my ability.
I remember how my Bubby
taught me to see the beauty
and the good
in what to me looked
like a hot mess.
So I grieve for the pain
and the suffering
but I also say
I see the good
even when it is hard
for me to see it.

Goodness

If I look for the goodness
in you
and
you look for the good ness
in me, then we raise the
vibrational frequency
in the world
by focusing on goodness and love

Goodness
is about seeing the Divine
in each other.
It is about seeing the
reflection of ourselves
in others.

Goodness is about
knowing we can transform
the world one person,
st a time, because
we look for the presence
of the Divine
in all of humanity.

We teach others
by how we treat them.
We teach them to
see goodness in others
when we see the goodness
in them

May we teach each other
and transform this world
one person,
one community,
one city,
one state,
one country, and
one world at a time.

Willing to Embrace

Forgiveness is a gift,
it is about setting us both free.
it is about reaching across
all the divides,
across all the barriers,
across everything that makes us not
want to be willing to embrace.

Being willing to embrace
is not physical,
its about allowing our love
to be unconditional
and transformative.
it’s about being able to
move through all barriers,
defy all the odds,
embracing in the
unconditional love
which lives within us.

Being willing to embrace
is about being resistant
in a world that teaches us to be
mean,
petty,
vindictive
and cruel.

Being willing to embrace
is about opening our hearts
removing all the scabs
all the hard spots we have
allowed to grow
and embracing others
with the same grace,
goodness,
and unconditional love
given to us.

This is not just about embracing others.
It is also about embracing
ourselves.
It is about loving ourselves
unconditionally.
it is about being
willing to embrace
ourselves as God
embraces us.
