Thoughts appear like a rainbow, formed as the rays of the sun strike a curtain of rain; and to become attached to them is as futile as it would be to run after a rainbow in the hopes of wearing it as a coat.

How spacious can one be, in this very moment and be swaddled by the clouds, also moving from here and there

Just a pondering-

I wonder if a heart needs to go pitter patter to wash away all the sticky notes on the scarlet letter D of divorce

What gets posted up and stuck on as a reminder of what we want to make sure to avoid....

And my faith teaches me
Even as I ponder
That isn't it me who needs to release the lens that hold me back from seeing real beauty
Isn't it me that touches wounds still raw that avoids anything that might touch it- in materials the same?

Any my faith has evolves to know that when I walk thru love- a trinity of that love, in attraction, in light, in spirit, in God, will release those tickey notes, heck the band will fall off because I will be nothing in the 'self" to consider, who that only in the giving to offer.

Praise be for the beauty of processing with a smile this day.

Can we tell that to the starving child, to the dying mother, and to the deceived....isn't that what Eliifast told to Job thousands and thousands of years ago.

But then from out of the whildwhind a voice said " do you know when the corners of the earth were laid, do u have that understanding? 

And isn't self striving a tunnell vision on a already predetermined course, and who knows it that's really what one needs anyway. Do we set out on the wrong course and get straightened up into compassion.

Today I ponder faith, and my own faithfulness, does it dismiss evil in its eternal optimism that a power or course has been set out for me, and therefore I self create a washing of evil into the unknown, and have faith it's serving a higher purpose?

Kmg

A women looses her child and the depths of pain and anguish are heard in every word, a mother has cancer and is going thr chemo, a friend in the fears of financial dismay..... and I read...

And ponder that all I can offer is my prescense at the moment. The love in my heart and the words. I get it-i am here with u- we don't need to turn on the lights- just be-

However strong these thoughts may seem, they are just thoughts and will eventually dissolve back into emptiness. Once you recognize the intrinsic nature of the mind, these thoughts that seem to appear and disappear all the time can no longer fool you. Just as clouds form, last for a while, and then dissolve back into the empty sky, so deluded thoughts arise, remain for a while, and then vanish in the voidness of mind; in reality nothing at all has happened.

"Nothing was yet done before I beheld it and every becoming stodd still' my ways of seeing are ripe and like a bride to each one comes the things each wills. Nothing is to small for me and I love it anyway and paint it on the golden base and large- and hold it high; and I don't know whose soul this might yet free" - my fav poet excert from Maria rainer rilke poem on prayer. 

By Anna Akhmatova
(1889 - 1966)

English version by Jane Kenyon

A land not mine, still
forever memorable,
the waters of its ocean
chill and fresh.

Sand on the bottom whiter than chalk,
and the air drunk, like wine,
late sun lays bare
the rosy limbs of the pinetrees.

Sunset in the ethereal waves:
I cannot tell if the day
is ending, or the world, or if
the secret of secrets is inside me again.

I look at my morning offerings and I see how the words flow from client to client as souls visit infront of me to speak of pain and loss and storytell but really they are here for connection and in the story it opens the door. 

Here I am loss- what am I to do with it. My heart raw knows it can't push it away and idle for a time it is no more, inherent as faith is birthed in us is also grief, love, the paradox of sufferings we live thru to actually feel ever alive

And in this aliveness is the giving anf receiving. How beautiful a life that can empty and empty this aliveness to all around.

And isn't this the cup who's coffer never empties, the filling of the waters of life, abundance overflowing....

Ah the scales of our world's become greater weighs to remove as we grow into wealth and harden from pain when truly the suffering can evolve to melt these weights into utter equal platforms 

 I shower and think in awe of your beauty and faith and hear how deep your broken heart has broken and how the nutshell of compassion, for XXXX  has opened in such a way that the love remains a full part of this core of you. And what a place to heal from. For in this healing I don't believe it's a release or moving on, but a caputuring of one's pain and another's loss that burns an eternal flame. In this space grief has no time, not a beginning or an ending, it just is.... -K

"And the running water where u have shared this space with ur sisters has been running for years before u arrived and it will be running for years after you are gone. And what difference but the love u have shared in listening and hearing makes this time more than others.

Isn't that river also running with tears of joy and tears of pain.

For aren't we also listening to our own fears and all suffering in the stream of life . ? Are we question god and pointing to unknown answers in medicines which are our limited ends of human knowledge just unfolding.

Think my dear, how deeply you are being touched, or pened to compassion and how healing this can be for

XXXX

u to remain strong in faith,of this connection,  the love will always remain-

I am here"

 I smile into fantastic, and move to silence....silence has a face that smiling within, the two together dance me over to the morning sunlight

Hillsong "spirit moves" plays on my breathe and I think I like the Pandora is the backround as it gives me a new ford of song to enter pprayer

Spirit moves
With my soul
A breathe of air
To spirit whole

Spirit dance
Along the shore
Forever now
Forever more

I dance along with you
I sing my praise my words are few
My heart is clear, my tone is pure
Spirit fly for evermore......

If you want to live

the life that only you can live,

do good for others, 

and when you have done good,

you will have life abundantly. 

A life without good works 

is a shadow life. 

A life centered on itself

is an empty life. 

Seek to do good for others,

and you will find fulfillment. 

Forget yourself 

and you will discover what you are

seeking. 

And if we do good works,

we should not do them in the hope of reward,

nor in the desire for betterment,

nor can we be proud or self-righteous 

on account of our good works. 

We must credit the good we do

to the hidden foundation of good,

and be grateful to serve as its medium.
