Perpetual Creativity

Morning Meds; 11 29 21

The perpetuity of our expressions of creativity dulls us to the miracle of its continuance.

We take air for granted seldom giving it any thought.

It’s only in its absence that we fully realize its necessity.

Our perpetual creativity is likewise often lost in familiarity, but unlike air we are never in danger of its absence.

We create our surroundings thought by thought.

We are creative beings of light.

Strawberries

Morning Meds; 11 29 19

Like the tendrils on a strawberry plant, thoughts spread from one fertile field to the adjacent.

The berry plants we cultivate in our mind may not be our own.

They have been passed onto us from our past, our parent and peers.

They contain, religious teachings, social norms, political preferences, educational bias, all crosspollinated with our personality to produce a variety we see as ourselves.

Meditation helps us to sort through the conglomeration of varieties.

It helps us to still our minds long enough to see which plants really fit with how we wish to feel.

It allows us to recognize and weed out the unwanted and the no longer useful aspects of ourselves.

We can selectively engineer our own variety.

Within our core is the blueprint of beauty, we have the power, by the use of choice, to produce plants that reflect our beauty.

Happy gardening.

God Had No Demands

Morning Meds; 11 29 18

I found myself at center stage,

my audience was God.

I thought He wanted me to dance,

that He expected me to perform.

I felt my heart fill with fear,

but then the fear was gone.

I realized that God had no demands,

He was just glad that I was there.

Source is unconditional love.

To think that any action or thought done by us will affect how much we are loved,

is like thinking we can affect the gravitational force of Earth with our will.

Thanksgiving Gratitude

Morning Meds; 11 18 18

Sadly, the glory of gratitude shines brightest against the backdrop of suffering, either by the lessening of your own suffering or through the act of comparing your situation to another’s.

I give a thank you, to all those who have shown compassion and given help to my family and myself. Thank you for, physical and financial help, emotional support, the hugs on days clouded with grief and the spiritual gifts of good wishes and prayers.

I’m grateful for the constant flow of love that has always been mine for the asking.

Thank you, to my wife Cheryl and my wonderful family, friends, employer, past employers, acquaintances and most of all the glorious Creator of this universe that has allowed me to be surrounded by love.

I thank the Creator of All, for the variety of situations I’ve experienced that have led up to this moment. Without them I wouldn’t be equipped to enjoy the splendor of gratitude.

I also thank those, who for whatever the reason, are still suffering in some sort of poverty, for without your plight, I would not recognize my blessings.

May I use your situation to sow seeds of compassion in my heart and may the seeds grow into loving actions, that will help you or another to enjoy the wonder of gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving

Seeing In a New Way

Morning Meds; 11 27 18

The droplets of sunlight, piled up on the stoop, I pushed open the door and waded waist deep through the drifted warmth.

The rain shone like diamonds on the forest floor, the plants scampered gathered the wealth.

The beating quasar in my chest shined it’s light into the surrounding darkness.

I nestled my head into the softness of the stone pillow and rested in its strength.

One of the joys of consciousness and free will, is to see things differently than how we were taught to see them.

Use your imagination to.

Turn tumors into snowflakes and watch them melt away.

See viruses as fairies and tell them to bug off.

See doorways in obstacles,

tunnels through mountains,

create boats to cross rivers,

fly instead of walk,

send love to what we were taught to fear or hate.

Healing, spiritual growth, transformations in relationships, might be as easy as paintings a new picture and stepping into its reality.

Have a creative day.

Starfish Hors d’oeuvres

For the love of dreams; 11 27 19

I posted about a scary dream; this is short fun dream.

The symbol of a starfish has become a significant component of my meditation world over the last year or so.

Deep in the sea of my imagination is a huge starfish named Predominance. It is as large as an island. It is a main figure in a short story I’m working on. In meditation I often sit upon it’s huge back and look off into the great darkness surrounding it. At the ends of its appendages lay the five elemental lakes of changing energy that are used in Taoism, Buddhism and many Earth related beliefs. Water, Fire, Earth, etc., they vary a bit depending on the discipline. They have become quite vivid.

I had never bothered to see what a starfish is thought to represent in dream symbolism. Two nights ago, in a dream I saw a hand extended towards me. In the hand were five newly, let’s say hatched, starfish. They were about the size of a silver dollar. I was told to eat them, I shook my head and said, “No, I don’t want to kill them.”

When I woke up, I looked up Starfish in my 20,000 Dreams book by Mary Summer Rain, they represent spiritual truths. How fun is that?

I respectfully and symbolically gobbled them down the next day I meditated.

I encourage everyone to pay attention to your dreams, they are an open channel to higher plains. There are many blessings being poured out at this time and you can receive them while you sleep, can’t beat that.
