Good Lesson or Bad, Doesn't Matter;
A Hard Lesson Learned
Is A Lesson Hard Earned...

Sit Seated
SpiritHeart67 Oct 2020
Learning to sit
in the Seat of the Soul
is unnerving,
It is Being in a Space,
Completely Unknown
until this Moment
Here
Now...

Your Love
SpiritHeart67 Jan 2021
You swept me
off my feet
You were the river
That washed over
and carried me to higher
Ground.

Healed by your love
You've taken
me to places
I'd of otherwise
Never found.

Entangled with you,
We are forever bound...

10,000
SpiritHeart67 Apr 2020
So much is changing, so much is coming
I'm ready for 10,000 deaths
and 10,000 new beginnings.

The days when all things are possible
When All things have already happened
and All things that can happen, will

Downstream of the wave form function collapse
Waiting for what already is,
to Become
here where we are.

Looking From the center
At that spanning out in every direction
There is no
Begining Middle End
Before Now After
Past Present Future
Above Between Below
Close or Far
Here or There
Then or now
Outside or in
Us or them

It all is existing, presently, eternally
At once
And at the same time
Continually coming into being
In an illimitable multitude of ways

Wanted: Seeing Eye Dog

Being a blind optimist
While being blinded by love
Is to eventually be blindsided

Addicted To You
SpiritHeart67 Sep 2020
I'm addicted to you
thru and thru
even though I know
Between us
there'd be Nothing new.

I tell myself you're still the same
But I have changed
And if that's true,
I should be able to see you.

In truth
it's the same old addict game,
Just an excuse to use...

Immeasurable
SpiritHeart67 Jun 2020
We want to have an experience
And we want to experience
what we do not have.

We are like ghosts
seeking that which is
even more immeasurable
Than themselves.

Final Destination
SpiritHeart67 Mar 2019
In the between stages,
of yesterday, this moment, and
what still might be,
lays today...
and what are we to do with that?
Live in it, stop it,
or try to escape...
 
Regardless of which way,
It all leads to the same place at the end of the day

Pain
SpiritHeart67 Apr 2019
P​ain Is The Spice of Life.
It's Bittersweet Agony Flavors Your Soul.
It Makes Us More Complete & Whole, Rounds Us Out, Teaches Us, Gives Us Clarity.
Without It,
There Would Be
No Joy Or Truth.
It's Not To Be Avoided But Embraced
With Grace...

Never Alone
SpiritHeart67 Oct 2019
It's True no one gets out alive.
The greatest lie however,
is that we come into
and go out of this world alone.
That might be true
if we were Humans
having a Spiritual experience.
But we are Spirit
having a Human experience.
We Have Not
and Never Will Be
Alone.

Echos
SpiritHeart67 Mar 2019
The echos of my life within
Yet as I drown it is not you who holds me afloat
suffering of my own accord,
submerged by your love,
only I can save myself
and find the way back to fresh air!

Don't Come To A Gunfight...
SpiritHeart67 Apr 2020
If you come to the fight
With what you think you know,
You've already lost

If you have your sight set
On what you know you'll see,
Anything
Everything else
Will Blindside you
and take you out at the knees.

Don't bring a gun to the fight, Son
with ghost bullets in the chamber...
I know I have to give this at least some frame of reference.

Anytime you enter into a situation with a preconception (ghost bullets), that preconception precludes everything else. This blinds you, leaving you unwitting & unprepared.

It's that moment when u storm someone with self righteous indignation, only to have the person respond with complete integrity, at which time you realize you had actually been the one in the wrong from the start.

The moment when you go into a situation completely sure of what is going on & even more so, completely sure of the others response etc., then  part way in get slapped with the realization you're off base and nothing is what you thought it was.

In It Not Of It
SpiritHeart67 Jan 2023
Where your attention goes
Your energy flows
Where you focus your
Energy
Is where you focus your
Life.

Be mindful of the world
But do not lose yourself
Within it
What fills your field
of vision
Is what fills
your life.

Be in the World
but not of it...

The Thirteenth Tale
SpiritHeart67 Jan 2023
“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic…”
— Margaret (The Thirteenth Tale, Diane Setterfield)

The Lies We Tell
SpiritHeart67 Oct 2019
The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
The worst verbal abuse comes from our own tongue.
The most negative influence is the devil on our own shoulder.  
The cruelest judge is the one staring back in the mirror.
The person really withholding the love you need is you.
No one will ever out-do you at playing mind-games.
You must stop doing this to yourself!
The universe is calling you to heal, not to agonize over your mistakes.
Quit overthinking; this is what surrendering really means.
Don't focus on negativity and don't even obsess about "fixing" things or yourself.  
Don't force "positive thinking." These things can be psychological irritants.
Just leave yourself alone!
When you pick at things they never heal.
Just relax and give yourself some time.

Remember that you are the angel of your own life. Look past your ugly thinking;
your fears, mistakes, worries and doubts.
Your struggles seem to be external, but we are always destroyed from the inside out.
The way you transcend your challenges is by listening to the inner-guide within you.
Your good judgment, your discernment, your kind thoughts and your own loving heart — in service of your highest good — is the angel you have been looking for to deliver you.
The moment you accept your own beauty and power is the moment your deliverance beings.

"Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.
What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."
— Henry Miller

Across The Years
SpiritHeart67 May 2020
It was only a hopeless fantasy
It passed like an April day
But a look and a word
And the dreams they stirred
They have stolen my heart away.
They say time heals all wounds,
They say you can always forget
But the smiles and the tears
Across the years,
they twist my heartstrings yet.
From my younger self - written in 1984...

I've Been Away
SpiritHeart67 Mar 2020
I been away from normal for such awhile
I don't know what it looks like,
If I ever did...

Haven't had anyone treat me kind in so long,
Think I forgot how to allow it...

Sometimes u have to walk thru the muck & mire to come out clean & clear on the other side.

What happens when u been walking thru it so long
You can't remember the other side?
What happens when the muck & mire
Feels more solid
Then solid ground?
How do you know where to stand?

In The End,
I Always Find My Way Home

Unbreakable, Unquenchable, Ineffable
Always Ascending...

Strike A Match
SpiritHeart67 Oct 2019
You can't bring
light to the
darkness
if you let
all the candles
burn out
cuz you are too afraid to strike
a match
next to the case of dynamite.

***** it, either way
you'll shed some illumination
or blow your **** out of the darkness,
Regardless,
you'll find your way
back to the light.

Nothing More Nothing Less
SpiritHeart67 Jun 2020
In the end you take nothing but yourself with you.

None of the expectations and desires and needs and cares and worries and burdens  and concerns  of this world are carried with or matter on the other side.

Until I am finally, blessedly free of the chains of this world and existence
I choose to have & be in this world with:

No *******
No Games
No Pain
No Expectations
No Grasping
No Drama
No Fear, Insecurities, Stress, Anxiety, Blame, or Worry  

Just multiple frequent ******* and grateful appreciation and joy and laughter and love and freedom and peace and serenity and goodwill and in service to others.

I want to love & care for and be loved & cared for by, those I hold most dear and beloved.

Nothing More than These Things and Nothing Less.

In the end perhaps all that matters is how well you loved and the love you've known. Everything else may have just been filler...

Missing Pieces
SpiritHeart67 Mar 2020
I don't really think there is any one for me in this world. At least no one who could find me in time lol!

And I am totally mostly ok with that! You can't make peices fit into a puzzle their not made for.

And some puzzles just don't have a solution; some things aren't meant to be solved.

Their beauty lies in the parts that remain ever undefined
And the truth that nonetheless
Always finds Its way thru...

Know When To Fold Em'
SpiritHeart67 Mar 2020
I'm happy with what I know
And happy with what I don't.
Cuz it's the stuff in between
That will ******** Up.

It's when we get Greedy or Cocky Or Nosy
That everything goes to hell.
You gotta know when to Tap Out
And trust enough to let go
SpiritHeart67 Apr 2020
I slipped off the path and for just a moment, let the age old trickery of darkness come between me an God's light and love. But then waking back up, I recognized it for what it was, realized I'd been standing in his light, his arm encircling me all the time.

I remembered our Fathers promise to us and his love. Remembered that no matter what might come, he never has, never does and never will forsake us.

If we had no moments we walked in the darkness, we might not recognize the light that surrounds us always, which no amount of pain or darkness can ever extinguish.

I will be ok cuz he walks with me always and when I can no longer walk, he lifts me in his arms and carries me, until I'm strong enough to stand & walk besides him once again...
