India a work

Can u see in the faces no complaint-

And what is it that I will hear in complaint

From others

My kids

Let it be but a balancing to not tighten

To be as open as life teaches me in lesson

And it's not easy, empathy is hard to step into

Even if compassion is in the blood

Must be able to move around percpective

Lenses like a kloilidescope. 

Blessed for an open heart

Tear of compassion to oil the sqeeky wheel

Amen

On board flight to nyc

Hearing the fears and pains and love of

My children

My word is to hear then

And accept them as their own

Without problem solving

Empoweing their decision making and

My unconditional love

Always my work.-----

Under a tree in nature I want to be hand in hand- simple pleasures. Awake-aware- in love- in silence- caring for someone more than myself for I am already myself in the gift of giving...Continuously ask: What is right here? What is this sensation? This emotion? This thought? This experience? Then ask: Who is experiencing it? The answer for me is my heart, not what I know what I am- k

a compliment from a friend worth my blog- thank u J -

It's hard for me to hear compliments, hard to receive gifts.

Today I speak on both.

Hearing compliments; grateful to have heard this shared with me today;

You have an old soul You are driven You steamroller fear You have an inherent aristocracy You walk tall You work hard You know how to dress, in whatever clothes, and create a unique and alluring elegance all your own You have Faith You Give Yet you still have a sense of wonder and silliness - childlike qualities There's some a tiny bit vulnerable behind all the armor You're strong, you're beautiful, you're restless, you're on a mission You're adorable ‎Love how you sit Like a teenage female athlete. Your feet have worked hard. They show wear. But their strength is sexy. You're comfortable in you are comfortable comfortable ur bare feet. Your feet connect with the ground. They're planted, rooted. You have this lion heart. Protector of your kids. I see no flaws. I do see a lot of pain. A ton. Weight on your shoulders is palpable. Your standards are sky high No one else measures up Always up to you - but this is a scene of your own making There are a couple of things that jar, tho: - it's like you hit a rev-limiter sometimes that you almost put a cap on your own personal enjoyment/ happiness - you control this, like you're concocting a puzzle for someone else to solve - sometimes you say things which are a bit pompous and un-Kmg  like.  I think you're glorious. Regal yet humble. Pure yet carnal. You have a wonderful, deep chemical energy. Sometimes with the parking brake (deliberately?) applied Have a wonderful, uplifting, environment-changing day. 

And to speak on giving;

I have learned it's sometimes harder for me to receive a gift then to give it. It feels sometimes awkward to open my hands and imagine someone got me something, useless of course as I have all I need, but someone was just out there putting importance on the thought of someone other than themselves.

It's a great place in my life when I go out all day and spent all my money on getting things for others and it truly makes me feel good. A goodness I don't have to 'put on' for anyone but I feel inside in giving to others.

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”  Galatians 6:2   Prayer   Lord- thank u for my Indian children who I can love. My children who I can love and their father who has forsaken me, who I can forgive... , let us be Christ to someone today.  To those who need love, let us love; to those who need encouragement, let us encourage; to those who need prayer, let us pray; to those who need a listener, let us listen.  Give us the courage to reach out to those who are burdened and need Your strength.  Amen

the celebration of the birth of christ has many forms- can u see them all? what is lost by holding tight to one vision,

who amongst us isnt this holyman

He is a reminder
Let him hold space
Til I arrive

Varanassi, india

This moment is my only life

This breathe

This meal

What is in my backpack is all I have

And I walk alone side my brother

On the streets of india

Faces of my children pull me home

My role in life as mother part of who I am

A strong sense of sharing my greatest gifts for them

To pass on passes thru me as the pull of an extension of me‎

Is equally in loving thy neighbor 

In this moment

If not now when

Nothing is being saved up for tommorow for I will leave this world the same way I came in

Empty of anything I have for I gave it all away

Allowed love to flow thru me abd everything else

To slip away---‎

The trinity of father, son and holy spirit resides all

All forms, for my christianity., christ living in me.

In india christ lives in Hindu hearts thru lord Krishna, kali, and the gods that open them to everlasting life. 

Amen

Awakening, then, involves realizing that "I" am not inside my body, looking out through my eyes at a world that is separate from me. Rather, "I" am what the whole universe is doing, right here and now

‎I think how all of my life Could have been for this moment To have found a heart to comfort To have met with religions And been opened to Hindusism enough To hear the gospels in them too To find babaji To have him find me In love of children Brahman‎ The child I have born To be here with children of the world As well as my own‎ As all of ours For who is not my brother My sister my mother, ‎ Every face‎ in india so open of ego Is but the reflection of what I offer Give. Ever grateful to feel such joy from It. ‎ ‎ If all of my life Is for this moment to carry out thy will Then I be but a instrument  For the healing of this world Amen

The air is thick and still as morning long passed

Dew stays behind and forms sweat on my brow

Stillness evokes me to stay with this moment

While india bustles outsides these gates

Spirit come I repeat and emotion stirs 

I wonder if we got tears all wrong - if

Tears are a release of the everlasting waters 

We need to replishish. ‎ Strange if a society

Teaches to hold back what it is most needed

To start-

I am, here, this moment, a pray to be but a vesel of light and love- let it be so....

Amen

  Lord, life is short and unpredictable.  We think we have lots of time to do the things that we have planned, but we might not.  Let us live in the NOW and not in the past or the future.  This moment is all we’re ever really given, so let us live it for Your glory. 

Amen

And to speak on giving;

I have learned it's sometimes harder for me to receive a gift then to give it. It feels sometimes awkward to open my hands and imagine someone got me something, useless of course as I have all I need, but someone was just out there putting importance on the thought of someone other than themselves.

It's a great place in my life when I go out all day and spent all my money on getting things for others and it truly makes me feel good. A goodness I don't have to 'put on' for anyone but I feel inside in giving to others. 

Sometimes that we hear from others and reflect to others is a deep rooted sharing that also comes thru us like prayer-prose and poem.

To be in feeling- is to be alive.

;ust past midnight in Varnasassi  and silence fills the air 

I wake and hear in the distance the car horn

Waiting for another soun that does not come

stillness moves me to unlock my door and wrap indias

Sari around whatever order of clothes needs to be covered...

Barefoot on marble floors laid a lifetime ago 

Faces of the night seem familiar as their are less of them or one

A poster of christ sacred Heart shine everpresent above the ‎ statues of kali, lord Krishna, and gods, prayer and people mold on the streets a motion that will fit into itself as the Ganges tell it's tale.

I am here at the Haifa, somewhere I have been and belong in a timeless street where we have all lived before. Today has begun in the shedding of anything I can carry with me for empty hands will have more to receive.

Today I will bring my fill heart, my compassionate heart as helper not guest, as mother,sister, with son,  as servant ,as America, to the boys of the Bal Ashram ‎.

Ganges is yet to be seen from this viewpoint and the diaster seems to be part of the night silence.

Stepping into the shoes of this moment

Tiptoeing past hope,geief, fear and joy

I am carried by breathe into the humble 

Unknowings as I unravel the belly

‎Bottom and find a deeper place to hold om....

Words play like notes on my keyboard and the song sings itself.

Intimacy with christ 

In life shared

Life shared in a reflection of happiness

In oneself, in eachother, in another

Heaven on earth is a life lived in love

Christ love 

Pouring out ever joyious, ever grateful, ever fill

Everlasting for the giving

For the grateful

For those willing to suffer thru the pain and flaw we are blessed-cursed- need to stay out of judgement of so we can release the world and live in the world. 

Of beauty

Of love

Of life- 

Amen

grateful for the sparkle --the clarity--the moment--tis day

Grateful for a heart filled in joy of giving
Grateful for the sparkle-this moment
This day

In this alone- enough blessings I have received
Is enough
To live in faith

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which we must be saved.” 

Acts 4:12

Prayer

Thy will be done

Grace is a a a await

As a gift to give to all u place infront of me

May I love ur love

Amen

Prayer is something we receive more than something we do. How can I understand or imagine god?  

I pray to pray. Open myself to you, dear lord in silence and wait for ur gift- drift away in the promise of christ who lives in me-

Amen

Inside

Air conditioning 

Night

Alone ever alone

Morning

Sunrise

Sit by the ocean

This lake-

Tadpoles cling to the rocks as fish maze thru Lilly pads 

Bursting with their own colors - life- 

The fish know not they are orange and can se seen. What fish can I not see- predators?

Silence fills the moist thick air

Kmg2016

Water falls as I listen to the sounds, splashing into itself we hear it as it returns - And what sound is made when a heart pour into itself and unveils it's nature to iself- when it returns? 

Never can one be bored at night- yes the feeling of seperatness from the morning calls out something missing

Kmg2016

The promise speaks in pink sky and lapping waves whose time knows each day 

And the possibility of its beauty can not be known while ever inherint it sits on my heart

The mystery of this day- may tears cry the river to my soul

Kmg2016

Stages of the sunrise are like stages in myself as I wake- I clear - I balance- I breathe- unfolding is something new that brings gift- shift---surrender......:) 

Today in church I see how a relationship keeps the other filled in love- the heat filled has no room for elsewhere- there is replenishing in the giving as a filled heart gives to overflowing for it to be recharged.... rejoiced - in grace glory. When there is room--what do we allow in? Isn't gods will- sometimes it's the flaw--- lord have mercy on our flaws may our best work on in this body- in this life be to wash thru our flaws and come closer to christ...amen

It is only in the heart what one can eventualy see what is invisible to the eye...

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Last week in sea island and the breeze blows strong- I hold wooden rosary seaside and ask the breeze to blow away the‎ ashes burning new depths, shedding tears I cry that carry the suffering of...myself... I can't point to actually what the suffering is, and that makes me laugh, hmmm..

In another paradox,- a blessing- to know only god to praise as all down time is all consuming fighting the fears and demons that sneak in like the snake and here I am present to others- distracted to self.

‎

Oh but isn't the serpent in some way speaking in everyone's lives, cancer, death, shame, ‎ divorce? 

‎

Am I being asked to dig deeper, grateful I am to

Receive thy will which prepares me for the unknown whose glory will fill all I empty of. 

Love overflowing, spills out today---

" Social Darwinism and it's more contemporary versions accord nicely with the hedonism encouraged by an economic system that conditions us to find the meaning of our lives in never-ending consumption." im ready to head towards a simplier life.... :) 

I see the cross in the sunrise today- sometimes I think I hang myself on it and have no mercy but that thought makes me cry and crying cleanses the soul and keeps me soft- today I pray for that softness to comfort anxiety and to settle back to om....:)

what we all cravw is within- I soften to read same in time from time past

By Dame Catherine Gascoigne
(1600 - 1676)

English version by Stanbrook Abbey

 

One thing alone I crave
namely
All in everything

This One 
I seek
the only One
do I desire

Rooted in One
is all
from the One
flows all

This is the very One
I seek
will have
only then
be filled

Unless I drink 
this Spring
I thirst
for nowhere else sup I to be fulfilled

What or Who this One is
I may not say
can never feel
Nothing
more or less
is there to say

For the One is not simply in all
the One Being is over all

YOU are my GOD
holding me
within my very SELF‎

There is a plan, I is thy will
And  who I live today, in grace
Is  who I am


Kmg2016

I curl up on a blanket- sunrise must be within today and I watch the bird of the air- I wonder if they know where they are flying to? Destination ahead, in circles, there doesn't seem to be a plan...and they sing and wait above the sea, behind the sand, singing the praise of sunrise....just like me...:) -k

I quiet as time continues on and my spirit rises above the stream of time and I just am- I breathe a deep breathe and the Lilly flower opens...-kmg2016

Sunrise and coffee
I stay silent worries and tales yet to come vie for
Attention.

Stay back for sufficient for today as its own troubles
Tommorow will worry about itself..

In this space
I make room for blessing
Which can only be received in this sunrise- this love - this light an this day

Amen

blessing today

And the blessing


"Let me be filled in the giving...I pray for a heart overflowing with your  love- to love Thy  neighbor -to live heaven on earth

Amen

Look look

Skies are pink with blessing

And I humble to the waves

They still for the birds to woolly swoops onto‎

Breathe it's all in the breathe of life

Thoughts are not worthy of this moment

Peace
