Peacock Feathers

Morning Meds; 7 30 20

If every name, description, and concept of God expressed by humanity through the thousands of years of civilization, could be seen as individual peacock feathers.

All these different beliefs with their representative deities would create a beautiful train.

Each separate feather with its contrasting beauty and magnificent complexity could be seen as worthy of adoration and worship.

How much more magnificent is the creative consciousness that birthed so many attempts to explain and capture its essence.

The feathers are all beautiful in their own way, but the peacock to which this train is attached still eludes our best attempts to fully comprehend its magnificence.

The Absence of Fear

Morning Meds: 7 30 19

Peacefulness is the absence of fear.

I see fear as the opposite of love.

Hate seems like a better choice, but hate is usually a fruit of fear.

Love is love, two of it’s fruits are compassion and inclusion.

Unconditional love is the absence of fear.

24th Wedding Anniversary

Morning Meds; 7 28 22

We have persevered through a journey of

Shared love, compassion and support.

Shared children, grandchildren, a great grandchild and another on the way.

Shared struggles, disappointments, tragedy and loss.

Shared hopes, dreams, passions and gratification.

Shared need, sufficiency, excess.

We are walking together through this experience called life,

connected by love,

an agreement called marriage,

the strength of our character and

the fragile thread of a shared vow.

I am grateful to be sharing it with an

intelligent,

beautiful,

strong,

compassionate and

trustworthy friend,

my lovely wife, Cheryl.

Tearing Down Barriers

Morning Meds; 7 27 20

We tear down imagined spiritual barriers, by building ourselves up.

Seeing ourselves as strong, confident, and competent creates strength.

Tearing ourselves down by shaming, ridiculing and criticizing our imagined shortcomings only makes barrier look more insurmountable.

Send love to imagined shortcomings to counterbalance the fears that erected them.

Realization that our barriers are our creations gives us the liberty to make new choices and imagine new pathways so we can get on with our lives.

We have free will to choose.

Continuing On

Morning Meds; 7 26 20

Endlessly through time and space

we continuously exist.

Uncontainable,

unbreakable,

unstoppable,

undeniably continuing on.

Beams of light and love,

searchlights ever scanning the dark void of conscious creation,

endlessly expanding.

For that’s what we are,

Consciousness expressed,

one within the whole,

indivisible,

inseparable,

energetically one.

Worlds visited through multiple incarnations,

float behind us,

bubbles of our experienced realities

left in our wake.

Defeating An Enemy

Morning Meds; 7 24 19

As long as we are at war with anything, we will experience struggle.

Enemies are a manifestation of fear.

To defeat an enemy, one must first love it into acceptance, then love it into an asset.

With enough love, fear is dissolved and with it, the need for war.

Changing Our Perspectives

Morning Meds; 7 23 20

If we see hate as a swamp and love as a lofty goal high upon a mountain top, it makes our journey toward it a constant struggle.

It can seem to be a very slippery slope.

If we change our outlook and see hate as barren mountain top where life is suppressed and choose to see love as a vast vibrant ocean.

Then all we have to do is fall out of our boat and we will be submerged in love.

Changing our perspective can simplify our journey.

Go ahead and take a break and jump in.
