How May I Serve?
Many suffer due to the pandemic, fires and hurricanes. Fear, loss, grief, illness and hunger are rampant. Although contributions to food banks, animal shelters and other charities are desperately needed, we can serve, regardless of our financial situations. Each of us has the power to brighten another’s day. Ask the divine how you can serve.
Ten free ideas to spur your imagination are:
- Phone call, text, email. Provide encouragement. Show that you care.
- Offer to take the garbage can to the road and back for an elderly neighbor
- Offer to pick up something at the store
- Walk an elderly neighbor’s dog
- Rake leaves, shovel snow
- Clean closets and donate usable clothing
- Smile
- Hold the door for someone
- Be courteous when driving.
- Let someone go ahead of you in the store.
Too Much
Do you feel bombarded from every direction? You are not alone. Technology tethered us to phones, television, social media, internet, podcasts, radios, books and newspapers. Depression runs rampant as negative news assaults our self-worth and hope for the future. Like moths to a flame, we are drawn to that which is destroying us.
In simpler times, Madison Avenue influenced our buying, but we could depend on the major television and radio networks for truth. Today, there are many rogue news outlets that pedal propaganda. Lies and half-truths seep into our beliefs. Like sponges, we adopt fantasy as reality, because we hear it or see it in print.
We must become aware of manipulation, shield from overstimulation and listen for our own truth with loving, kind and open hearts. Rise from division to unity. Humanity is counting on us.
Shut Off the Media
Look at us, floating in space, no strings attached.
What keeps us from falling into the abyss?
The mystical power of what we cannot see and do not understand.
Shut down the media and go within!
Think for yourself.
We are all equipped with a soul to guide us.
Shut off the noise from those who want to influence and control you.
Each of us has a guidance system for truth and love.
Use it!
The animal and plant kingdoms know what to do.
Humans flounder!
Kick greed to the curb. There is abundance for all.
No one is above another.
Show compassion for fellow man, animals and the environment.
Planet resources are for all.
We are one!
Unite!
What Lenses Do You Use?
What lenses do you use to view the World?
Are they scratched and dirty, seeing only the ugly?
Or are they clear to view the big picture,
Including those who serve humanity?
Illness, poverty and injustice plague our planet.
Beauty, kindness and service abound
The rapid downward spiral of negativity leads to the sewer
Lifting up the broken takes co-operation and strength
Your choice whether to curl up in a fear-based fetal position
Or strive to improve the Earth with a loving and kind heart
News Flash!!!!!!
We are all one
Begotten of the source
Equal are we,
God given perfection
Get real, people!
Money, status, job, things
Nothing matters
Illness, death level field
Time to treat all
With respect, dignity
For I am you
And you are the next guy
Connected souls
For eternity bound
I reflect you
You, my mirror image
All shapes, colors,
Sizes of perfection
God’s creations
Sent to spread love and learn
Ditch the ego’s fear
Reach for diversity
Angels’ colors
Crayons of the universe
Molten Earth spins
No strings, no guides to hold
Orb from plunging
Into vast nothingness
Creation rules
Love guides the universe
Be encompassed
Compassion, harmony
Through the Veil
Messages from those beyond
Shunned in disbelief
Man rejects unseen attempts
Comprehend cannot
Spirits made of energy
Not of solid mass
Subtle twinges unexplained
Love from nearby realm
Feathers, pennies, dragonflies
Birds, the love they bring
Open heart and mind receive
Songs through veil they sing
I Am You
Why does man divisive be
When all are God’s creations?
Image, likeness shared by all
Wrapped, unique, a gift to give.
Colors of a rainbow mixed
Each displaying human form
Like a field of flowers wild
Purpose, beauty, journey owned.
Ego drives the wedge between
Fear replaces love and trust
Drop the walls, extend a hand
Diversity enriches.
Hate destroys, devours man
Choose the path to harmony
Live in peace with fellowman
Source descended, I am you.
Love
Love is won
Love is lost
Love is earned
Love is tossed

Kill for love
Die for love
Fight for love
Cry for love

Chasing love
Not the way
Giving love
Makes the day

Share your love
Not with string
Freely give
Heart will sing
Awaken
Springtime brings a ray of hope
Buried by short days and cold
Wander out, to feel the warmth
Renewed and cleansed, reborn
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Robin redbreast welcome back
Daffodils salute the change
Buds are forming on the trees
Awaken to the blessings
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkness, brightness, yin and yang
Minus one, you’d never know
Beauty, loving, heat and light
Awaken to the blessings
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Be aware, live gratitude
Find flickers in the nightscape
See the beauty, love abounds
Awaken to the blessings
