Poem ' The Mirror '

The Presence Felt in Marigolds
IT IS EASY TO FORGET WHO WE ARE
Sometimes we forget that we are all of the Creator. I know that sometimes my ego gets the better of me. This is when connection to the Source (God) is forgotten and life is throwing up confusion and chaos - nothing runs smoothly. Suffering - anger, pain, jealousy, sadness and the feeling of unworthiness are some of the ego`s manifestation and all come with being in a head-space that is the opposite of love and divinity.
"Where Is God when I need Him?" You might ask.
Of course God is right there - beside you and in you. It is just that you, and your baggage (ego), have pulled down the shutter and the light can no longer be seen! God lives in everything. It`s our mind and our emotions (that drive the mind) that have gone on a roller-coaster collecting more dust and debris on the way. Molehills become mountains manifested through improper use of the mind.

Here is a little poem about emotions and forgetting who we truly are:

                                            Disappearing
                                            Into the mirror
                                            I watched myself
                                            Within it all
                                            Hiding

                                             Woven fabric
                                             New and old
                                             With flecks of me
                                             In stories told
                                             Of waves crashing
                                             Rolling thunder
                                             Wind howling
                                             Going under
                                              Then
                                              Surfacing
                                              Sky becomes blue
                                              Cleansed
                                              And vision more true

                                              Softly, very softly
                                              Pushing us to see
                                              God calls out
                                              Look at me!
                                              Look at me!

                                              I`m here
                                              Within the garden
                                              In the fruit
                                              Hanging on that tree
                                              In the whispering wind
                                              That catches hair
                                              In song of bumble bee
                                              I`m here, I`m there
                                              I`m everywhere
                                              For everyone to see
                                              
                                              When you look in the mirror
                                              You are looking at me!

When feeling on a downer break loose and go outside and feel the wind upon your cheek. Feel the miracle of creation. Watch a bird in flight and the perfection of creation. We are all part of it!! Then BREATHE deeply and enjoy. Breathe in creation.

Here`s to the God-essence within
And the perfection of creation
