Transforming the Past
Dear Goddess, help me, lovely Lady,
To put love where there is hatred
To put hope and faith where there is doubt
To put joy where there is discord
Please help me to heal my pain
Help me learn the spirit of forgiveness
Grant me your divine wisdom
So that I can love and be loved again.
I ask this in the Lady's name, so be it!
~ Sirona Knight ~
May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And, above all, may silence make you strong.
~ Chief Dan George ~
A Blessing From Nature
A kiss from the sunlight, a touch of the breeze
The bright moon at night,
To light your way,
Flowers for the inner child,
And to add colour to your life,
Seed from the trees and plants,
Strung on a chain,
To adorn your neck and breast,
Shells for your feet and toes, to celebrate the seas,
And the waters of life,
The colour pink is for love, to spread across the world,
And to remember you are WOMEN!
A worthy daughter of Mother earth

Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
My church is the earth with her many colors
My church is blue sky with floating clouds of white.
My church is the sea wild and free.
My church is open fields of flowers.
My church is the grass soft under my feet.
My church is the tall trees reaching up to the sky and rooted into the earth.
My church is the stars and the moon in the heavens.
My church is the sun shining his warmth on my head.
My church is all mothers creatures.
My church is my childrens hands holding mine.
My church is the loving brothers and sisters in this circle that I hold dear.
My church is the freedom I have to be me.
My church is in my heart to call as I will.
~ Marie Slavin ~
Material Objects might be necessary to fulfill Spiritual Needs
"Whenever you are filled with a desire to fling your gifts into the world,
you have become this cosmic dynamic of celebration, feeling its urgency to pour forth
just as the stars felt the same urgency to pour themselves out."
~ Brian Swimme ~
Desire may lead us out of the Present Moment into illusions of the Future, but
a desired future is most easily attained by living in the present moment.
