We start off in life
Sleepwalking
Some of us
Sleepwalk through
All of it
Others, however,
Get a wake up call.

This call is a gift
Often disguised as
Pain
The pain of
Waking up
Experienced as
Broken relationships or
Shattered dreams.

It is the process of
Awakening to the Divine.

The call
To love and be loved
Unconditionally
By Christ.

It involves a
Deepening awareness
Deepening appreciation
Deepening delight!
That you are loved
No matter what!
That you are perfect
In the eyes of
Christ
Just as you are!

This progressive awakening
To the love of Christ
Then overflows into a
Deepening love relationship
With Self
With others
With Mother Nature
With life itself.
It transforms your experience of life
From the inside-out.

Although dynamic and exciting
This awakening
Can be messy, confusing, and yes
Painful.
One step forward
Two steps back etc
But that is part of the
Process
Part of the upward journey in a
Spiral that
Deepens and widens
From the bottom up
You feel like you are
Beginning over and over again
But in fact
You are progressing higher up on the spiral.
Experiencing a love
Like no other!
A love that gives you
Roots
A love that gives you
Wings!
The only love that
Transforms at the
DNA level!

It is an exhilarating journey
A journey into the Deep
A divine journey!

One that keeps life
Challenging
Fresh
Fun
Fulfilling
And
Abundantly fruitful!

The problem lies
Not in the
Daily Grind
For everything
No matter what
No matter where
No matter how rich
Eventually becomes at some point a
Daily Grind.

It is part of the
Human condition.

How then do we stay
Fresh
Every day?

When we
Accept and embrace
The Daily Grind
Peacefully
As a fact of life
It loses its stranglehold
Over us
And in doing so
We make room
For the Creator
To step in
And transform
Our experience
From one of
Stress and
Struggle
To one of
Joy and
Serenity.

Invite the Creator
To give you
A new perspective
Fresh eyes to see
And
Your life will never
Be the same again.

Life is not about
Overcoming or
Escaping
The Daily Grind.
It is a fact of life.

Life
Is about
Getting a
Fresh perspective
That transforms this
******* into
Freedom!

Creativity is a spiritual endeavour.
The more you give, the more you grow!

Right now
I am in turmoil
Blown this way
And that
Like a wick
In the wind
If it's not one thing
It's another
Yet
I hold on for dear life
To my flame of truth.

I am a creative
I was born to create
That is who I am
That is what I do
I have chosen the
Creative path
Through life
With or without
Support.

This commitment
Is now being sorely tested
Sorely tested.

You can't make it
The voices
Whisper
You are no good!
Give up!
It's useless!
They cry.

Yet
Here I am
Each day.
Writing.
Creating.

Writing as if my life
Depended on it.........

It does.

For
When I write
I fly!
When I write
I soar!
When I write
I breathe!

My mind is still
My heart is full
My soul sings!

When I write.

In the Silence
There is peace
In the Silence
There is wisdom
In the Silence
There is joy
As you connect
With He who lies
Deep within.

He
Who is always
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting
He
Who is always
Hoping
Hoping
Hoping
To connect with you
In the Silence

Here in this place
Deep within
Life is stripped of all
Pretensions
Life is stripped of all
Falsehoods.
It is just you and Him
Face to face
No holds barred.

And so begins
The Dance
Slowly
Surely
Steadily
Until
The Dance
And the Dancers are
One.

No beginning
No end.

Just forever
One.
Lost in
The Dance.

It's not the length of our days that matters, it's their depth that counts.

Our natural state
Is that of
Joy.

To get to this state
Is a journey
A journey of the
Heart.

It calls for
Open heart surgery.

Exposing all your
Wounds
Both great and small
To your Creator.

Your Creator
Who is Love
Kisses
These wounds
Tenderly
One by one.

One by one
They are lovingly
Healed.
One by one
Your fragmented heart
Is mended
Made whole.
Restored.

In this whole state
The Love of your Creator
Now flows
Freely
Unhindered
Unfettered
Into your heart
Filling it
To capacity
Filling it
To overflowing
Until gradually
You begin to come alive with
Joy!

Radiant joy!

The joy of
Surrender!

A joy
Like no other!

An everlasting
Joy!
