I am honored to be nominated by Soumya for the “Seed of Light” award. I love the name of the award and the idea that my words/poems can be a “seed of light” for another.
Soumya has always been a “seed of light” for me since I started this blog. She is creative and has tirelessly dedicated herself to her blogs and writing. Over this past 15 months she has always used her kind and loving words to encourage myself and others. I am very touched and appreciative that Soumya continues to see good in my words. Please visit it at http://soumyav.wordpress.com and I know you will enjoy and grow through her wonderful post.
I have received other awards since starting this blog and I must admit, I often feel mixed emotions. It is a lovely gesture, and heart warming to receive appreciation from others who find something meaningful in my words. Yet, I am still new in my journey and soaking up the images, knowledge of others, learning from their words and views and I often feel not yet ready for the accolades. Perhaps learning to accept is part of my learning
Many blogs I follow are poetry, spiritual, and religious in nature from all over the world with many different cultural influences. All of these blogs bring to me a greater understanding of who I am within the loving embrace of God and with each of you in unity within the consciousness. As a novice blogger I know there are thousands of blogs out there spreading “seeds of light” and inspiring thousands and millions of souls with their photos, art, music and words. At this time I have only dipped my toe into the sea of blogs. So today I choose to honor Soumya’s acknowledgement with a poem….called “Seed of Light” and I dedicate this to all bloggers who share in love their creativity and the lessons of their journey.
Adrift within the breath of the wind,
floating to a barren land.
Landing gently among the dirty grain,
bathed so lovingly by the rain.
A seed of light,
buried by worldly debris.
In a place where no one
would think it may be.
Hidden in a place without light,
the seed is a speck…a sparkle…that ignites.
A seed of light sent out by the Lord
is growing on your heart’s shore.
A breath, a sigh, the light illuminates the soul inside.
A twinkle from a star so far
has great power to transform who you are.
Adrift in the life you live
the gift of the soul to give.
A moment in time to take
the Lord’s love into your heart and mind.
An emotion and gift so deep,
the seeds of light become the roots
that anchor you to Divine belief.
A seed of light adrift within the wind
Is a gift the Lord does give.

May all your seeds shine in the glory of God’s light!
