I see all of mother nature
with her many a face
sharing her inner beauty
her inner grace
I take a deep breath ... and I think
heaven is right here
I take a deep breath ... and I think
heaven is right here

I see your true colours shining through
When you're making dinner, like you love to do

I see your true colours when walking the dog
Enjoying the time of releasing the daily bog

I see your true colours when quilts you're making
All the colors and patterns you're mixing and matching

I see your true colours when you're helping someone
Connecting to another even after you're done

I see your true colours when you're singing your song
Seeing the joy you're having, as I hum along

I see your true colours as you communicate
And the smile you get when you interrelate

I see your true colours while you **** the garden
Connecting with nature, your heart does open

I see your true colours while you sort the laundry
As you love to nurture and take care of your family

I see your true colours as you write a poem
Feeling the appreciation from your inner home

I see your true colours as you tidy the house
Being present allows spirit to grow in us

I see your true colours as you share time with others
Giving attention to them is all that matters

A balanced mind is a quiet mind
Which knows it's connected to the divine kind
A balanced mind does no mental labeling
Enjoys the is-ness each moment is bringing
A balanced mind has no judgments to share
Realizing each one has their own journey to bear
A balanced mind knows there's many levels of understanding
As our consciousness grows, we are all expanding
A balanced mind is an open mind
Not closing doors to minds of a different kind
A balanced mind is not attached to any form
Be it thoughts, emotions, or objects; you will forlorn
A balanced mind knows your inner wisdom
Is creating a world full of a peaceful kingdom

Excerpt from: http://www.fengshe.org/collaborators/WiltesDelores/Articles/balancedmind.html

Being present means I'm not mentally labeling
Creating inner space and stillness, a being's haven

Being present means I'm not feeling emotionally drained
Creating inner space and stillness, more and more gained

Being present means I'm not waiting to react
Creating inner space and stillness, a being's habitat

Being present means I'm not clinging to the past
Creating inner space and stillness, it is so vast

Being present means I'm not worrying about the future
Creating inner space and stillness, and this I will nurture

Being present means I'm not compulsive thinking
Creating inner space and stillness, to God I am linking

Being present means I'm not judging what others think, say or do
Creating inner space and stillness, a being's point of view

Being present means I'm not resisting what is
Creating inner space and stillness, a native of this

Being present means I'm not attached to any kind of form
Creating inner space and stillness, a being's norm

Being present means I'm alert and alive
Creating inner space and stillness, a being's high five

Being present means I have the time for you
Creating inner space and stillness, and wholeness too

Being present means I enjoy what I do
Creating inner space and stillness, consciously too

Being present means I am consciously speaking, doing and acting
Creating inner space and stillness, of which there is no lacking

Being present means I am aligned to my purpose
Creating inner space and stillness, alive and alertness

Being present means I am at peace
Creating inner space and stillness, and flowing with ease

Being present means I accept its isness
Creating inner space and stillness, that is growing within us


Being present means I know there is no more important moment
Creating inner space and stillness, and feeling atonement

Being present means I'm connecting to a depth within
Creating inner space and stillness, for all to live in

Being present means there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Creating inner space and stillness, and the power To Be

Plant your flower ........

Being present means
I know there's no more
Important moment
Than NOW

feel the love of a new born baby
heartfelt, and it is so elating
share this feeling, from the heart
with someone who needs a fresh new start

feel the awe of a blossoming flower
beautiful and full of a stillness power
share this feeling from deep within
with someone who you can forgive

feel the calm of a beautiful lake
crystal clear, no ripple it does make
share this deep feeling of inner calm
with someone who may have done you harm

feel the love of your precious pet
their unconditional love can sure be felt
share this feeling, words can't fathom
with someone who does not know how to reason

feel the energy of a soulful song
a wonderful connection, which you do long
share this feeling, which is so dear
with someone who is so full of fear

feel the love from a childs hug
this pure innocence does not judge
share this feeling connected soulfully
with someone who is always so angry

by sharing these feelings from your heart
radiating out, you will impart
an unconditional love from within thee
to many a person who are in need

With an open heart and an open mind,
No judgments or criticisms you will find.

With an open heart and an open mind,
There'll be many connections of a divine kind.

With an open heart and an open mind.
Our souls and personalities will align.

With an open heart and an open mind,
We can balance the world, one person at a time.
