Without Words

lizaaitken

There are only so many words,

yet none of these are right.

How can one explain divinity,

the deep and out of sight.

That which cannot be spoken,

because the words won’t fit.

Knowledge so inexplicable,

we can’t make sense of it. 

We just go on repeating,

what has been said before.

As we do so we are trying,

to knock upon that door.

The door to all creation, 

the one just out of sight.

In grace we are searching,

how to live just right.

We will never have the words,

because they don’t exist.

The best that we can hope for,

is that we get the gist.

Nature Lessons 117

lizaaitken

Most of us carry around stuff that does not serve us such as outdated beliefs, imagined responsibilities, habits, dysfunctional relationships and other things that we no longer need. When we carry excess baggage around with us, it weighs us down and holds us up.  To reach our destination it is good to acknowledge and let go of that what we no longer need by just letting it fall away.

Clutter

lizaaitken

One day we walk out of this life without anything, no possessions, no wealth and no good looks. We might wear an outfit, wear a special pendant, hold letters or photos but those things will remain here with our bodies, they will be of no use in the hereafter. The soul that leaves this life does so without anything to accompany it on its journey.

Look around now and consider how valuable those possessions are, the house, the car, the job. I don’t know where we go after this life, but do know we arrive there with nothing. We can’t buy our way in, can’t flash a gold card, call on our friends or do that secret handshake. It will just be the true essence of self because the body and those things we clutched onto in the coffin will have disappeared.

When I die I  want to be able say I did my best, I forgot myself initially I but spent a long time trying to find myself. I want to think I will have been kind enough, loving enough, honest and trustworthy enough but I suppose in the end that depends on now, what I do with the time I have left.

I’m surrounded by possessions, memories most of them. I find it really hard to let go of things. Some stored away safely, no good to anyone, boxed or in the loft. I’m aware that the things I stash might be of good use to those in need, I really must let go of what I’m not using.

When we rid ourselves of our attachments, those things that hold us in one place, to a certain way of life we grow, that’s we find ourselves amongst the clutter.

You might have guessed I’m preparing myself for a big sort out!

Mystical Garden

I enter my mystical garden,

when I have enough of life.

Life might get on top of me,

or there is too much strife.

I tread the golden pathway,

to see what it has in store.

I get messages from nature there,

I hope there’s many more.

It’s the garden of awakening,

I leave any doubts at home.

This is a time for contemplation,

I always go there alone.

I’m never alone when I enter,

as the garden comes alive.

It teaches me simplicity,

answers my where’s and why’s.

I’ll tell you how to get there,

if you feel you want to go.

It’s a garden of development,

a place where all souls grows.

Opening the Heart

lizaaitken

Each loving or kind thought that touches the heart, opens the heart, just as misery and sadness close the heart.  Even when going through more difficult times, feed the heart with loving thoughts, even if these are only the kindness and love you owe to yourself. Treated with love and kindness the heart will remain open.
