Thomas Terherne

From dust i rise
and out of nothing now awake
these brighter regions which salute mine eyes
a gift from god to take
the earth
the seas
the light
the day 
the skies
the sun
and the stars
are mine

if those i prize !

show me (my fair lady)

"Words,words,words I'm so sick of words, 
I get words all day thru
first from him then from you
Is that all u bliters can do....

Don't talk of stars burning above
If ur in love
Show me....

Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire
If ur on fire show me
Here we are together in the middle of the night, don't talk of spring, just hold 
me tight

Anyone whose ever been in love will tell u that
This is no time for a chat ....

Haven't ur lips
Longed for my touch
Don't say how much
Show me
Show me

Don't talk of love
Lasting thru time
Make me no undying line
Show me ....now...

Sing me no song
Read me no rhyme
Don't waste my time
Show me

Don't talk of june
Don't talk of fall
Don't talk at all
Show me

Never do I ever want to hear another word,
There isn't one , I haven't heard

He we are together in what ought to be a dream
Say one more word and ill scream

Haven't ur arms
Hungered for mine
Please don't expline
Show me
Show me

st francis prayer

Lord, make me an instrument for your peace, Where there is hatred, let
me sow love Where there is injury, let me sow pardon Where there is
doubt, faith Where there is despair, hope Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy

Oh divine master

Grant that I may not seek so much
To be consoled as to console
To be understood, as to understand
To be loved, as to love

For it is in giving
That we receive
It is in forgiving that
We are forgiven
And it is in dying
That we are born to
Eternal life

"The mirror ofThe heart must bePolished constantlyBefore you can seeClearly in it Good and evil."

rocky song

Risin' up, back on the street

Did my time, took my chances

Went the distance now I'm back on my

feet

Just a man and his will to survive

So many times it happens too fast

You trade your passion for glory

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the 

past

You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the

 fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his 

prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all with the eye of 

the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat

Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry

They stack the odds, still we take to the

 

street

For the kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the

 

fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his 

prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all with the eye of 

the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top

Had the guts, got the glory

Went the distance now I'm not gonna

 

stop

Just a man and his will to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the

 fight

Risin' up to the challenge of our rival

And the last known survivor stalks his

prey in the night

And he's watchin' us all with the eye of

the tiger

The eye of the tiger

The symphony of lifeIs playing now

Just walkin by it would be missed

Sink now, your feet into the earth

Cover then with the colors of fall

Looking out on the water

The wind brings in the vibrations

I am now tuned to

The greened neck duckWiggles his tail as they pass him by

On prayer

"Prayer is the very experience of god

We then pray for the departed
That they may receive salvation  so as to remind ourselves of our own death.

It is a sign of love for all men, even when we need prayers of all. We also pray 
to be united with others, 

Jesus said
Verily I say unto you
If ye have faith
And doubt not...........

And also if ye shall have faith, unto move this mountain
""

illuminata-marianne williamson

Dear god,
I surrender the day now over
May the light that surrounds me
When i wake in your prescence
Tommorow shine thru me
In its strength and healing power

May only the love remain
Take all else into the fire of
Your transformative power

Release me, release others
From any effects of my wrong mindedness as i now give to you who i am, what i 
did, who i loved, who i failed to love,

Please make all things right,
Take all things

May i continue to grow in your light and lov
Tommorow may i be better
May i not deviate from goodness
Make me the person you would have me be
Direct my footsteps and show me what you would have me do
Make the world a safer and more beautiful place
Heal us all
And use me dear lord
That i might know the joy of being used by you

wisdom jesus

And like cynthia in her book wisdom jesus, she  writes about the parable of the women who couldn't share their 
own with the other woman who didn't prepare.....

she writes the reason the five wise bridesmaids who have oil can't give to the 
five who don't is that the oil symbolizes something that has to be individually 
created in you through ur own conscious striving. Nobody can give it to you, 
nobody can take it away.....

The oil stands for the quality of your transformed consciousness and its 
impossible  to be come conscious unconsciously, or thru donation from someone 
else....hence they were the WISE bridgemaids who acquired the "oil" of nondual 
consciousness and they can't share it with their sisters ever if they wanted 
to..

On pslams

When I read the psalms in the morning and listen to them in my ears at night

I wake , with excited energy of love and I settle into the place in my center 
that is the thickness of the honey of the orgasm that spreads trough  my body and 
the sweetness and juice of the fruit that my heart pumps out 

I know , this necter fills the well, 
One day to everlasting waters......

karen 2012

So rich is my life...........
That I should know how to feel
So deeply

That I should reach into a well of
Fullness, of care and grief and shake up my world so, 

In all I am touched with, shines
Another re fraction of who I am ...

And its so rich and deep and full of love and silence and feeling and sharing 
and seeing............

karen 2012

I arrive to the morning
The sun is already up and
I hear the whisper
Follow me.....

And I hear.....

You are the light of the earth
Shine it now

Close your eyes and let me touch your heart so you may touch many

Be that burst of emotion
To all
In spirit you will be love.......

And I say yes-yes-yes !

on Prayers to others

Its but a moment
That the eyes behold
Such beauty it becomes transformation itself...

And the beauty of the songs
And the words today of the gospel of mark.....
That play, pull me to the light
Which isn't upon my deck yet....
To want to stand with my hands stretched out .......

I write prayers, now to a few many women, in their sufferings, of death and 
sickness, not clients, friends who have come to me....... I see their awakenings 
and feel blessed that THE  prayers,  come thru me to be an instrument of 
healing,  come thru me , for they spirit moving to heal....and I can cry just in 
that..........

Its a cry of emotion of connection to ....compassion...

on Change

 I recognize and embrace impermanence even deeper.

I believe in the dark night of fear and the morning of faith....

when prayers are sent and we stare at the sky, everything radically can shift, 
and in  some parallel reality which will still run  somewhere with a different 
outcome.  These sliding doors, opening and closing, and so ephemeral they can be 

walked right through if you don't believe that what you can see is all that is.

audrey hepburn beauty tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Sogyal

Each time the losses and deceptions of life teach us about
impermanence, they bring us closer to the truth.

 

 When you fall from a
great height, there is only one possible place to land: on the
ground

the ground of truth.

 

 And if you have the understanding that
comes from spiritual practice, then falling is in no way a disaster,

but the discovery of an inner refuge.

merton

So much depends on our idea of God!

 

 Yet no idea of Him, however pure and perfect, is adequate to express Him as He really is.

 

 Our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about Him.

We must learn to realize that the love of God seeks us in every situation, and seeks our good. His inscrutable love seeks our awakening.

 

 True, since this awakening implies a kind of death to our exterior self, we will dread

 His coming in proportion as we are identified with this exterior self and attached to it.

I vibrate in a world of love

I am standing on the rung just enough off the ground of rational reality that I can be supported by the universes higher good

I shed vunerability, for balance
And truth becomes my umbrella of resistance

Which I need hold upright...

SIMPLE TRUTHS-GIFTING A BOOK

You, my friend, who are in my heart and mind

I gift to you a book

SIMPLE TRUTHS

These aren’t my simple truths

These aren’t your simple truths either

They belong to Frank Nerburn

And like the sip of an aged wine

And the music of great poetry

We come to hear then and taste them all a little differently

Over time.

Sometimes we share a book

To offer a view through another door

To hear another story, which is not yours

But another’s thought, which is there.

I don’t want to read a book, and look for connection

To what I already hold true

Or find what I hold true in someone else’s words….

 I want to read a book and loosen my connection,

And stand no where, except in hearing ones

                       SIMPLE TRUTHS

Today creator
Help me to remember my real

Help me to become what I really am

Help me to create my own dream of heaven
To the eternal happiness of humanity

karen 2012- on camping

Upon the stillness of the river
And the dusk of the morning
I sink my toes
Into the earth

I walk alomg the rivers edge
I want to dive into the water
Emerse myself in the nature
That which I am

I am covered in dirt and I want not to remove it, I want to paint my face with 
it, warrior paint, for here in the forest, I am warrior and one with nature

The mist is moving now towards me off the mountain, come all that is holy and 
let me make my home with you...for there are many mansions in heaven, and this 
is heaven on earth now

Fill my heart with this knowing

karen 2012

I am so grateful for such happiness
An erupting volcano of the heart
Every morning
As I watch the sunrise on the city
Together we come deified
And I shine my light 
As a city that is set on a hill
And can not be hidden......

In this house yesterday
It was the city of god
And the energy of love
Were the clouds of heaven......

Today i gifted a book.......

A book is not only a friend
It makes friends for you
When u have possessed a book
With mind and spirit
You are enriched 
  But when you pass it on
You are enriched threefold....

Henry miller

A book is the only place in which
You can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive 
idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens 
remaining where a man can get both provocation and privacy

Edward p. Morgan

When things get tense in a book, you start doing things like sroking the edge of 
the pages....when you do that on your iphone, the next thing you know you've 
frozen the think...  

Sarah mcnally. 

I am a child in awe of my own power, filled with wonder, bewildered, awake.

I am one of the wonders of earth, full of blood and breath and singing. Even as 
I dance toward the mountain, even as I dance towards death, I celebrate my 
marvelous being.

I have heard lies, yet have not believed them. The things said of me in anger or 
in praise I have not made my own. It is for my conscience to guide my hand, my 
deed to create myself.

In those moments of silence when desire and will are stilled, I know the purpose 
gods know. 

My body is nourished by things of the earth, my spirit by things of the heart. 
Under the flowering trees, I eat the fruit of love, I offer what I have , my 
peace , myself...i wrap my skin in the blue robe  of heaven..I sit in the garden 
listening to birds. I do what my heart tells me, I am what I know, what I feel , 
what I make. I am myself....the ether of  the instant, breathing. I gather and 
build my life..

What can be named can be known, what can not be named must be lived, believed. 

The joy of creating is the joy of forgetting everything else. I lean into life. 
There is no rest. I make children, peace, errors, and trouble. I dance under the 
sunrise and welcome this new day......

Kahill Gibran

And the man said 
"Speak to us of self-knowledge"
And he answered;

Your hearts know in silence
The secrets of the days and the nights, but your ears thirst for the
Sound of your hearts knowledge

You would know in words that which you have always known in thought

You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams and it is well 
that you should !

The hidden well spring of your soul
Must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea and the treasure of your infinate 
depths would be revealed to your eyes but let there be no scales to weigh your 
unknown treasure and seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or 
sounding line for self is a seed boundless and measureless.

Say not I have found the truth but rather I have found a truth

Say not I have found the path of the soul say rather, I have met the soul 
walking upon my path

For the soul walks upon all paths, the soul walks not upon a line, neither does 
it grow like a reed,
The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals...

....The prophet Kahill Gibran
