Angels on Your Shoulder

I am not by nature a poet, my mom was though. Recently I have been writing poems so I thought I would share one with you.

The light

The light
Bright, guiding, full of love
The light from which we come
Love

Pressing, pushing, filling
Ever present
Filled with the power of creation
Ah, sweet love

Limitless, infinite, eternal
The light is
You are
Freedom, joyous freedom

Aligned
The gift of love
You are the light
You are free

With love and aloha,
Susan

Ever wondered why people chose to hurt one another?

I have pondered that question over the years. As a child I was profoundly distressed by violence and what I perceived as cruelty. I often get e mails from people asking me the same thing. 

I have come to the conclusion that we can only hurt one another when we are disconnected from our spirit. Our mind, our filter system is often very fear based and fear motivates actions not based in love. From our mind we can rationalize unspeakable acts. I am pretty sure whoever planted the bombs in Boston thought it was a ‘good’ idea.

Our spirit can only chose love. God, Allah, Great Spirit, whatever we choose to call that energy of creation knows only love.

If I start to judge others I have disconnected from my spirit

As I watched the images this week of Boston or in other weeks of school shootings or bombings or of war – how do I stay in a place of love? How do I love the bombers? How do I love the shooters?

Spiritual practices take practice. As Jesus said, “Turn the other cheek.” Do I want to add more love or fear to this world/ Has all the centuries of judgment, laws and trying to control others worked? I think not.

Maybe it is time we give love a chance. Maybe it is time we practice love rather than judgment and fear. I sure hope so.

Today I am practicing allowing love to erase my judgment and fear. Spiritual practices take practice. Care to join me in practicing love?

With love and some judgment and fear,
Susan

I’ve never thought of myself as a poet but lately poetry has been coming. Happy Solstice and Merry Christmas. Here is a poem: Embrace by Love. I hope you enjoy it.

The blast of cold
Snow blowing
Dusk falling
It is so cold, so very  cold

Miles to go
I’m not sure where
My feet are cold
I’m late

Then a thought
The snowflakes look like angel’s wings
Each unique
Falling freely

Embraced by love
Diamonds in the snow
Flicker of light leading me home
What a glorious journey

I love the light
I love the snow
My heart is warm
And my home awaits, filled with love and angel’s wings

May you allow yourself to feel the embrace of angel’s love and listen for the fluttering of their wings as they fill your life with magic, wonder and joy.

Calling the angels into your home

With love and aloha,
Susan
