Move Beyond the Law

Don't you know that it
is in us all?
It is so easy to side with the victim
To understand and feel
for them, us.

Yet the truth of the other side
The dark part, the "evil" part, the villian, the killer, the greedy and
the power hungry
Are all inside of us
We see a picture-
magnified a 100%
And we think "we are seperate from them"
Yet we carrry a percentage
No matter how large or small
And collectively bigger then that picture of greed we just saw
Ohhhh, you know
The 1%
How many times have we bought more then we really need?
More, more, more
More food, more money, more clothes.
It is a defect in the human race

We are at the core
Filled with the same condition
The list goes on and on
Yet to realize it all
Existing in us all
The positive and the negative
As we are governed with the rules of this law

Yet the only way to become free
To neutralize this law
Conscious responsability of your inner world
Will help us
to neutralize this law
and beautify immensly
our outter and inner worlds.

Synopsis:
This poem has been inspired by the movie "The Matrix" and the work I am doing on myself.
With all that is going on in this world right now, we are many times divided.  The 1% and us, the bad ones, the good ones, republican, democrates, the corporations and us.  It is so easy to point the finger...for I do it a lot...  Yet for me to take "conscious" responsability that as quick as I am to blame everyone else...it is also inside of me.  And collectively that is more then the single ones we see on TV.  The only way that I see us freeing ourselves from the positive and negative, is through working on one's self.  Seeing all the good and bad that is within us, and working to free our selves from these weaknesses...

I don't have a good answer in truth, I really just feel it.  Yet I see as examples that those who are beautifying this world with love and grace and beauty and healing, are those who started with their inner worlds first.

Shower of Love

Shower of Love

Love,
let me burst out and find you!
Its been a while since we have met,
Embraced
For many times, I have shyed away

Ohhh sweet presence of love
I am so grateful
You have touched upon this body of mine
It is my duty
My devotional duty,
to share this with you wherever I go

I must skip on the wings of joy
and share you
Look upon the trees
and share you
Smile at the ones in distress
and share you
Share a moment with the innocent eyes of my beloved cats
Share with the children of the Earth
Welcome them with love

Ohhh sweet love
that has graced me with joy and abundance of life
I wish to serve you
As the glorious rain serves us all
Showering its beauty and love and food
upon us all here on Earth
Let me love like the Rain
Not leaving one thing behind
Especially that which hasn't been declared "beautiful"
Let it flow across all that IS
Nothing left without that isn't Sacred
For the rains of love.

Synopsis:
Our inner work is to love not only what is easy to love, but that which is difficult to.  That is the work that inspires me.  In the end that is what everyone is looking for.  I remember teaching yoga to a group of children outside one day, and this little girl picked up what looked to me like a plain old stick, and she went on and on, on how beautiful this stick was and how she loved it.  That little girl really taught me what it is like to be in love.  That is what I aspire to, with a lot of prayer to the Gods for help when the challenges arise.  May we all remember love in all the aspects of ourselves.

Conversation with the Ocean

I travel through the tides
Feeling each one
Wishing for mastery
to embrace them all
Deep down in my heart
I know they will lead me home
Yet in the darkest of hours
I still feel alone
Dear sweet ocean
Take me where you may
I know the tide has a higher order to obey
Let me glide wherever I may go
To enjoy the ride
It is truly unknown
Sweet ever changing water
I have to admit
I like when its smooth
Yet the biggest of gifts come
In the movement of storms
For sometimes the jewels
They wash up on the shores
I guess what I really want to say
Is to teach me how to really truly go with the flow
Not with the mental shoulds
Or the mental complaints
Or the mental judgements
Even when I don't say it out loud
Let me feel the currents
and the tides
And embrace them all
After all they are just the ride
And in the essence of all this
Let me know the eye of the storm,
Quiet, no chatter, still
Living with the noise and the chaos
But keeping the inner of my true home

Synopsis:
I know through my intellect to go with the flow.  I know deep inside that each challenge that arises will bare gifts, but I want to practice it with my WHOLE being.  Not just the intellectual side, but the feeling part of me, and the instinctual part of me.  Sometimes I may go with "let me just accept this is a gift, yet I want to feel it totally, emotionally."  I have been observing that my inner world is many times against it...even though I know it.  I guess it seems like a tall order, but I feel reminded, one opportunity at a time, one breath at a time.  

Fairy Eyes

Fairy Eyes

I sit at your doorstep

Sweet Mother

And I sit

And I sit

And I breath

I breath

I open my arms

So that my heart can open

So that I can feel your ever presence

All around me and in me

Sweet Mother,

Many times I lay asleep

Forgetting your beauty

I often miss the music you share

Yet today,

The Gods have granted me a window of opportunity to see you

Your firm body supporting me

I see the river flowing...ever changing

I hear the calling of the winged ones

I see the billowy clouds that leave me with little words

I smell the tide

Without an opinion

It just is

I feel the wind refreshing my skin

While the sun's love pours down on me

and all that lives and does not

I finally bring my muscles to ease

I breath deeply to take it all in

And I thank you Sweet Mother

For waking me again.

A Message From the Gods

A Message from the Gods

It doesn't matter how may times you fall

Just as it doesn't matter how many waves crash upon the shore

Sweet one,

Life is the dance

Sometimes it crashes and falls

Sometimes smooth

Suffering leads us to God

Keep your eyes open

Don't close them with judgements and opinions

It is.

That's it.

For you to see as you open your heart

to what is

Don't let another's journey hide you from where you are

This is where you need to be

Not a single strand different

Your struggles are your gifts 

You are already home

Let the sun bath on you

Let the waters sooth you...

Ever changing

Step into the dance

and let the wind take you where you must

It is directed by God's breath

Yes you have come here to love and to teach love

But to also love 

your past

your pains 

your wrongs

and why of course others

You have been pushed and pulled

you have felt it and have known it

Dear child of the cosmos

Love your mess ups

Its okay

Breath into them today

Our love never goes away

There are no more no's

and if so

I will show you again

Until yes arises from your heart

Job well done you have brought down heavenly love

And now we give you another task

To really love ALL

Start by understanding

Giving space

Letting others Be

When they want our help we will let you know and so will they

Be who you are

Love the judgers

the misfits

the Negative ones

Love them all

You are ready

We have open the door.

I wanted a message from The Gods and Goddesses today because I had a little lapse in my energy today.  That is what I got.  As my cycle nears, the Gods have shown me more of where I need to grow.  A dear friend reminded me "when we stop growing, we stop living".  With new friction arises new opportunities to evolve our soul with.  This was fitting for me today.  I had felt a little disappointment and pain. I tried to be with it, bring presence into it, catch it right in the beginning, but It wasn't letting up.  I almost crashed into another car, I fell and hurt my knee.  There was definatly pain present.  I share this with you because this is where the wind needed to take me last night and today.  There was something that needed healing.  

And it did...with the help of the Mother Earth, Prayer and a little openness from me has helped me to remember who I am...or at least a little bit.  

I am aware that some of us may encounter similar transitions of lower states. I wanted to share this with you all to let you know you are not alone and to remind us that some of this friction of life is the very work we need to grow our soul.  

I offer this to you with all my heart,  hoping it may pierce one of yours, especially when the lessons call, and there is pain.

With all my love, 

Stephanie
