On this day last year… Neil made his leap

On this day last year ~ February 22, 2013 ~ Neil Rogers was called home to spirit.  So many of us miss him dearly; his presence: so full of sincerity, honor, and humility, his love, his awareness, and his words.  Of course, his words.

Let us remember him fondly, and cherish the inspiration he continues to provide us, looking forward to the day when we meet again.

Neil, I am happy that you are now truly dancing.

~~~***~~~

"For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that is may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."

~ Gibran's The Prophet

Imagine coming into a world of pure unconditional love,,our senses would be vastly expanded,,, every single one of us,
We know when we feel it here now,,the senses expand,,and a lot of us are on the defensive a lot of the time,,,so imagine if pure unconditional love was all the time,,,for everybody,,,,

I know that's idealistic and stuff,,
But for a golden period on earth we must imagine it,,
We must dream it into being,,,

Sat at the feet in the space of all learning

Grazing the fields of expanding sense

Held in the palms of all understanding

Vibrating the sequences of the great immense

Riding in patterns of hearts beating louder

Wild as the summertime colors display

Drawn on the conscious tip of devotion

Aligned on the universe sings and plays

Heaven pours through powerful motions

Life is sacred a breath of divine

Twisting and turning and dancing through flowers

The great union of the heart and the mind

Waves of harmonious vibrate the instance

Luminous tracks stir the one of all cause

Love expressing reaching onwards and outward

A cradle of sunshine living in all

..peace.. : )   Saturday, August 11, 2012 5:28:00 PM

In concert with the greatest force...

The world works against 

those who would be Love.

So we must continue swimming 

against the tide, 

and 

Be Our Own Love.

The more we engage in this, 

the more the current of the force of Love

will carry us closer to Heaven,

the heaven that exists 

(in our hearts)

in concert with the Cosmos,

which is fueled

by Love.

Your support is most appreciated!

To the One who Moves me

I wish to gaze at Your face unobstructed,

not through the interference of things humans have made.      

To be whole I need a direct connection to You. 

                           I must consecrate my entire life to You,                           

and worship at the alter of Your perfect creation. 

I wish to be surrounded by You entirely, 

so that nothing and no one distracts me from Your Eternal Truth. 

I need to melt into Your embrace, 

where the false illusions of separation fall away, 

and my spirit can be at peace. 

Without Your love I am nothing. Without Your breath I expire.

My heart is flat when Your songs I cannot hear. 

No life. No joy. 

You are everything to me, and my greatest honor is in serving You.

May I exist close to You, in Your very center.

By myself I am nothing.

But in You I am All.

the long view

contemplating stillness

outward in
timelessness existing
before all began
ancient trees standing
sheltering sky
me on the ground
watching birds as they fly
beauty becoming
the focus, the way
sacred path walking
going deeper each day
finding the meaning
in that which transcends
humans and culture
running straight to their end
opening perception
on history and time
taking the long view
reveals true timeline
humans are newborns
in the world of the real
Source animating
the universal life field

Sacred Fire

In my heart            
Ever glowing
Flame of
Divine Love
Greeting me
As I awaken
In the morning
Acompanyning me
Until my sleep
At night
Warming embers
Of Truth
Burning away
All falsehood
Illuminating
Eternal Vision
Connected
Every moment
Without fail
To All That Is
