It is with sadness in my heart that today, International Day of Peace, is filled with anger and hate all around the world. The most recent events of the American Film maker and his video has deliberately and intentionally hurt others. I am so blessed to live in America where I have the freedom of speech, yet, with that freedom come great accountability to use words for the good of all. No American has the right to use their privilege to hurt others. I am also blessed with another great gift…the gift given by the Divine…by God. The “FREEDOM TO CHOOSE,’ …today I choose love…I choose to use my words to deny anger, turn from hate, to love my brothers and sisters around the world. You are all my family…Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, and all religions, we are one in this incredible universe. We are one all connected through our hearts and love for God.
Several weeks ago I started working on this poem. It was different for me and I was not sure where it was coming from. As Peace day was approaching I know I would post it today. Then the violence started. Now I know, through prayer and meditation I have been called to reach out to all of you to join in hearts of love to denounce the violence. I ask each of you to write something special today for Peace. Boldly and confidently ask all your followers, friends, and family to put in their consciousness, thoughts and words of Peace…Use prayer…use meditation…use your words and thoughts to raise the peace vibrations around the world. If we all start today with this we can spread the peace to millions very quickly. I will use the words “peace…and world peace,” in mediation for the next few days and possibly weeks and months until the hurt is healed. Regardless of where we live, or what our life situation is, we all have free choice…the choice to love, the choice to respect, the choice to embrace the beauty and divine nature of others.
Millions of stars sparkle in the sky.
Lighting the night, for human wishes to glide.
Under the stars the poets dream,
Lovers love, and conceive wishful things.
Stars illuminate the night,
Filling the earth with hope and light.
Upon the earth the humans roam,
Looking high into the night.
With wonder in their minds
They wish on the stars shinning bright.
They dream a dream
That all in the universe is alright.
What if the stars in the sky started to fight?
Grabbing and seizing each other’s light.
Seeing only what the other has,
And what they think they might.
With guns, tanks, and missiles,
The stars fight a selfish fight,
Extinguishing each other’s light.
Upon the earth the darkness falls.
Dimming the love and dreams of all.
Now, what if the stars looked down upon the earth,
And see trillions of humans as energy burst.
With great energy the earth does shine…
And the beauty grows like autumn sweet on a leafy vine.
Now what if, within that sight,
The stars watch the humans fight.
Wars between races, religions, and nationalities,
Spilled blood fills the land and water ways.
Waterfalls of misery cascade along the earth.
And the beauty once there,
Now violently fading away.
So perhaps the story should be told
That the stars shine bright each and every night.
The humans live with harmony flowing from heart to heart.

I had a dream…
I had visions of a world beyond words, colors, light, and shapes…a world of a different dimension, which I had no way to express. The only perfect creator is God, and we can only strive to achieve it.
I felt an endless longing to touch His perfection by taking photos.
This is the most tender way I can express my Love to the Creator of Everything visible and invisible…,like unspoken words…
There is one God… One Presence, One Universal Spirit… God is the Infinite Spirit and Limitless Conscious Life within who all live. I live and embrace the God Spirit that flows within me and is me. There is one thought…one universal reflection of all that is…
I live in unity with THE ALL, in harmony with Universal Law, in peace with all God’s creations and in love of self and others. As a divine creation of God I am good…I am worthy…and filled with the spiritual energy that flows through me and in me as I am the manifestation of God’s divine plan. I am a demonstration of Gods goodness and my opportunities are unlimited.
I chose to live in the present with God’s love and energy indwelling and expressing. I open my mind to universal knowledge and the divine truth as expressed through God. I see with my eyes the beauty around me…the simplicity of divinity and the magnificence of Spirit. I speak with my voice the words that Spirit crafts and with these words I share love and joy with others. My heart is open for the Energy of God to express through love given and received. It is God’s divine intent that I am deserving of love and loving and I allow my heart to release and receive. In an open embrace I accept the joys this day brings and I know it is God’s will that I receive all goodness and grace of life. I allow my feet to travel where the Lord leads me. I trust in the Spirits manifestation through me as a divine expression of thoughts and joy. So today I chose to walk within the limitless consciousness of God. I stand in the light of Knowing that God’s thoughts demonstrate truth….joy…love…and abundance. I am that Truth…as God is me…and God’s thoughts are my thoughts. I am the very essence of the divine Universal Energy. God creates with purpose…with perfection so there can only be perfection in my life with God today.
I am eternally grateful for my unity with God… for the divine experience of thought and the physical reflection this Universal Spirit produces. My gratitude over flows as I live in the abundance of this creative process…The God Process…The universal law…and the truth of this law.
I release this prayer knowing the reflection of these thoughts and words will be done…and so it is.

Over these past 10 months I have been learning about a new way of praying called, Affirmative Prayer. I would like to share a prayer I wrote to bring in the Abundance of Joy into my life. The past three years of my life have been marked by great change, much I controlled and some I did not. What my spiritual teachers have been teaching me is I can choose to bring joy into my life. So this pray is about experiencing God’s joy, seeing the beauty of God’s creativity and allowing myself to be led. For several weeks after I wrote this I said it every morning and many evenings. It is my belief that this pray with other prayers I wrote have been answered by the words in poetry that I have been posting. God has so graciously blessed me as his words flow through my fingers to the computer screen. If this prayer speaks to you please feel free to use it.
God Is I Am
