Faulty Connection Repaired

Isn’t it amazing what messages are out there just waiting for us to pick them up? Some float down like feathers and some pretty much have to hit us over the head. I almost had a feather in my teacup this morning, but I caught it just in time to pass it on to my universal family.

Shortly after filling my glass coffee pot with water and turning it on I noticed it was making some unusual sounds. It was bubbling and spitting and carrying on like an angelic celebration was going on. I listened for awhile and then saw that water was seeping out from the vessel below.

I cleaned up the mess, and when I turned the vessel over I saw there was a thin crack in the bottom. Stop for enlightened lesson here: Having just returned from the 3:33 adventure I also saw the crack reminded me of the “invisible” line down the human heart, (creating two halves one male one female) The most important fact about this division is that it was created with a tiny hole at the bottom to allow love to flow onto all of creation. Some Indian tribes leave an intentional flaw in their rugs for the same purpose.

Now back to my cracked pot. I just happened to have an old vessel in my cupboard because I seldom throw anything useful out. I set it on the unit and tried again. A little water entered the vessel, but it was apparent there was still something wrong. Since I have a reputation for “never giving up” I started to investigate. So if I’m putting water in the top and I have a bottom without a crack in it why in the world am I not getting enough water to even make a cup tea?

Then the light came on, it was a faulty connection between the “head” and the “body” causing it to be plugged. It didn’t take much to remove the plug and repair the problem. Now everything is working just as it is supposed to and all is well with my world, as I sit here sharing my experience and sipping my delicious cup of green tea.

The Silent Prayer

In my heart, I accept my perfect being.
I accept that the joy I have intended is already in my life.
I accept that love I have prayed for is already within me.
I accept that the peace I have asked for is already my reality.
I accept that the abundance I have sought already fills my life.

In my truth, I accept my perfect Being.
I take responsibility for my own creations,
And all things that are within my life.
I acknowledge the power of spirit that is within me,
And know that all things are as they should be.

In my wisdom, I accept my perfect Being.
My lessons have been carefully chosen by my self,
And now I walk through them in full experience.
My path takes me on a sacred journey with divine purpose.
My experiences become part of all that is.

In my knowing, I accept my perfect Being.
In this moment, I sit in my golden chair
And know that I Am an angel of light.
I look upon the golden tray-the gift of spirit-
And know that all of my desires already have been fulfilled.

In love for my self, I accept my perfect Being.
I cast no judgment or burdens upon my self.
I accept that everything in my past was given in love.
I accept that everything in this moment comes from love.
I accept that everything in my future will result in greater love.

In my Being, I accept my perfection.
And so it is.

The Miracle of Love

I do not consider myself a poet, but this poem,
written in 2000 is an exception. It celebrates
love on a different level and it is my gift to
my universal family. Please enjoy.


THE MIRACLE OF LOVE

Finding the person God has known since birth
Builds a bridge between heaven and earth
Peace and fulfillment flow freely from within
Like a cup running over with love to the brim

Asking His guidance to help with our strife
Lets one enjoy the precious moments of life
Understanding ourselves makes us strong
Willing to forgive all things that are wrong

Resisting all that loving could bring
Until we could find the one true thing
Eliminating all battles from our past
Makes it easier to love and have it last

Acknowledging your presence here or away
Cements the foundation we build today
Our love has been growing for an eternity
The time has come to believe in our destiny

When God and His angels connect two as one
The light outshines rays formed by the sun
Love encircles everyone they know
Performing as a magnet moving to and fro

Anyone can believe in the miracle of love
Be still and patient it comes from above
Like the flame of a candle soft and warm
The miracle will happen when love is born

Another Golden Oldie

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high,
there’s a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue.
and the dreams that you dare to dream
really do come true.

Someday I’ll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far
behind me
where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops
that’s where you’ll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
bluebirds fly
birds fly over the rainbow
why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow
why, oh why can’t I?

(music Harold Arlen/lyrics E.Y.Harburg

Somewhere

There’s a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere

There’s a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to look, time to care
Someday
Somewhere

We’ll find a new way of living
We’ll find there’s a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There’s a place for us
A time and place for us
Hold my hand and we’re halfway there
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere

There’s a place for us
Hold my hand and we’re halfway there
Hold my hand and I’ll take you there
Somehow
Someday
Somewhere

(Music Leonard Bernstein/Lyrics Stephen Sondheim)

PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL

This time of year means many things to many people, even to those not claiming a particular religion. I believe it is a time to wear new clothes and plant new seeds, inside and out. It is a time of renewal, a chance to begin again with fresh knowledge. Easter is a time to step back and truly appreciate and be grateful for what we have been given. It is a time to revisit our past and clean up the dangling cobwebs in our minds and hearts that keep us from living a peaceful life.

I truly wish each one reading my words a joyful season of rebirth peace be with you all.

P.S. I Love You

As I have suggested in past posts my mother and I had a difficult relationship. It was not resolved at the time of her physical death in 1987. She was a very negative woman, whose energy rubbed off on me. I’m not blaming her it’s simply the truth.

As I entered her hospital room for the first time and viewed her unconscious frame a nurse said “tell her you love her”. I could not comply. I just stood by her bed and stared at the picture before my eyes. She died a few days later, without regaining consciousness.I carried the guilt of that moment around like unused baggage for twenty years until I was given the tool I needed to move on.

In 2007, while attempting to find out the name of my maternal grandfather, I was led to seek the help of my friend Kati, a Reiki Master. Her gift gave me something much more important than a name, it gave me the reason my mother had grown up to be so negative. Her father had died in the military when she was only 8. Although she later had a wonderful step-father, she never forgave him for leaving her.

When I understood the reason for her negativity I was able to forgive not only my mother, but myself. It was a step I needed to take to move on with my own life. I am grateful that I was given an opportunity to heal a wound that could have continued to fester long after my residence on earth had passed. I love you mom!

I did eventually find the name of my grandfather, William Ott Johnson, whose spirit I truly believe had a hand in my spiritual growth.

P.S. I love you too grandpa and wish I had been able to know you!
