From the Heart
We have to become what we want in the world. If we want love we need to become love, give love and only see love. The world at the moment is in need of love. When we come together with a common goal anything is possible. The world is full of those that follow the masses. It’s time to mass together to create an abundance of love, massive love.

That which is true will sit well in our hearts. Our duty is to find our own truth, be our own teachers and reach our own conclusions. The heart will always open to what it believes to be true.

The beach is empty but for the waves that greet the shore, there is a stillness.
The surf rolls in bringing with it the shingle and small shells caught up in the momentum of the moment. They tumble towards the land from the tips of the waves and fall into place upon the shore. This happens under the control of the tides, the tides under the control of the moon. The shingle has no choice in the matter it waits where it lands. The shoreline sparkles in the sunlight, this pinks and whites, the blues and silvers, the solid browns and mottled are placed on the earth at the will of the tides.
This could also reflect our own earthly lives as we tumble from the womb into families as individuals. The warmth and glow of a loving family may shine upon us or as if by night the dark and coldness of a family bereft of love. What surrounds us in our earthly existence is left to chance. It is what we make of the opportunity, how we relate to those around us and how we blend in or stand out and makes a difference.
Like the waves that hit the shore we will be met with challenges. Some will throw us up and into the unknown, many will require us to start again – it is eternal.
We will shine in the sunlight, be buried from view and occasionally be left in the dark. This is the power of the universe we are joined to, at one with. As the shingle makes a beach and goes on to make land, as individuals we make mankind and influence the future of the earth.
We are connected by chance, but our goal is to become one with the universe by finding ourselves among the shingle.
When you look into the mirror do you see your family staring back, do you utter the words they once said, have the same tastes, interests and suffer similar ailments? It is only nature reflected back at us in that mirror to our connection with past generations. Take the seeds that go to make the face of the sunflower that when planted grow into beautiful strong sunflowers. We are as nature intended and grow from the seeds of past generations.

Just as there is a base to a mountain, a shore to a lake and an edge to a desert. Everything in this life has a beginning, middle and end. It is up to us to recognise these stages and make preparations. A swimmer walks into the lake from the shore in full knowledge that it will get deeper, the mountaineer gathers the equipment he will need to ascend the mountain and the man crossing the desert ensures he has plenty of water for the journey. However steep or rough the journey ahead of you may be, take opportunity to pause in the transition zone and make sure you are prepared for the journey ahead in body, mind and spirit.

Your key is hanging on the hook,
redundant and unused.
And on the vacant seat you sat,
the cushion is confused.
The records on the turntable,
yet silence fills the air.
Your cup and saucer on the shelf,
brimming over with despair.
As I wonder through each room,
your waiting there for me.
Your all around this home of ours,
your in the air I breathe.
That day you turned away from me,
you left a part of you behind.
For you still walk throughout my days,
as a shadow of my mind.

The flower is not concerned by what others think of it or affected by criticism. The flower does not grow to please others nor does the flower emulate others in the garden. The flower grows in its own beautiful way, the flower remains true to the self and connected to source.

Does the flower know where it is heading when it reaches up to the sky, does it know its purpose and destination. If nature can tell us anything I think it might be reach for your dreams, be open to experience and give your very best.

We are all the same yet individual. Don’t aspire to be like another, celebrate your similarities but also your individuality. Your shape, your colours are yours alone and cannot be recreated.

I’m going to bludgeon my anxiety,
beat it black and blue.
Bludgeon it until it’s gone
and I can speak to you.
I want to wake up happy,
without those cares about.
Look into the mirror
with a smile and not a pout.
I want to bludgeon my neurosis,
as this is just a tease.
I have a stupid problem,
that I always want to please.
I want to make the choices,
to do something if I care.
Not because I have to,
I don’t always want to share.
I want to bludgeon self perception,
so it shows me something new.
So I can see a brighter world,
where there’s more for me to do.
I want to feel I’m worthy,
not defined by my mistakes
To perceive myself succeeding,
might be all that it takes.
