Lightning Over Mount St. Helens

Mount Saint Helens, Washington

************* 

When the sky is so dark

And the rains fall.

The thunder roars

As the lightning strikes.

We look to the sky

Hoping to get a glimpse

Of God rolling on by.

The splendor of the Lord

Is visible for all to see.

It is easily seen in the colors of spring.

The magnificence of mountain high

And the ocean deep.

It is felt in the falling rain

That sustains everything.

Within the thunderstorm

Is the passion of the Lord.

It is his love that we hear

In the explosive roar.

The lightning strike

Illuminate the darkened sky.

Just as the Spirit is flying by.

And beneath it all

Is the land that sprawls

From the mountains to the

Fields below.

The flowers bow in homage

As the winds of the Lord blow.

A storm may feel for some

To be a discord in a God made space.

What I see is the divinity

That Heaven displays within this place.

Night Dreams

Whispers of Eternity” – Adraga Beach, Portugal – Jorge Maia – Featured Photographer

Once upon a dream on a starry night

The land of God arose from the sea

Leaving the water to sit so tranquilly.

In the stillness of this night

The Spirit’s breath moved the earth

To divide the sea.

And now the darkness glows across the world

As the love of Spirit embraces you and me.

It is the essence of God that manifest

The world we see.

It is Divine Law that all created so perfectly. 

In the still of this night along the sea

There is Spiritual Splendor moving in the gentle breeze.

The mystical world of God’s Divinity

Is laid out across our universe

For all God’s children to live their life in harmony. 

In the life of a Soul

The day and night on this earthly plane

Is just a fleeting flash of light.   

God knows the struggles within the human race

Are thoughts without power nor grace.     

The wars between humans will fade away

As the world we know is transformed

By the Heavenly Glow.

The illumination of God’s Divine plan

Has been set in motion

It is Eternal Life for every child, woman and man.

So hear the Lord in the Whisper of Eternity

And watch the darkness glow

Into the life of love and harmony.

Within the darkness

I hang my head in sorrow.

Within the darkness

I lose sight of tomorrow.

Within the darkness

 My love festers.

Within the darkness

My light is dim.

Within the darkness

Joy lingers.

Within the darkness

I raise my eyes to Thee.

Within the darkness

The old fades away.

Within the darkness

The new is born.

From the darkness comes

What I am looking for.

I find my way by the light of my soul.

I find my love still burning like coal.

I find my path you lead me so freely.

I find my words you gave to me.

I find my heart

You so embrace within me.

Within the light I shine

Within the light I dine.

I dine on the Eternal feast

You so graciously prepared for me.

Within the light I live

Where an overflowing joy abounds.

Within your source I exist

I exist within heart and mind.

I exist within my cells and organs.

I exist as millions of particles

And all in unity of one.

My one

A one of trillions within this universe.

And trillions within the One.

All within One Source

The One Power

The One Love

The One God and Force.

The Manifesting One

That lives within me.

There is completeness

Within this Unity.

Rainbows and Dust – Bantayan Island, Philippines – Marc Hermann – Featured Photographer

Posted 04/06/2012 on www.photobotos.com

There is a path through God’s universe

Where light floods through the canopy of trees.

The prism of color floats in the smoky haze.

The children so precious and innocent

Ride their bike where only God will gaze.

A land of simplicity and divinity,

And the magnificence of the Lord’s creativity.

With trees so lush and fruit so sweet

A ground cover so green and soft beneath your feet.

A tropical place in heart and mind

A glorious spot for all souls to dine.

An ethereal land that spans beyond my human mind.

A place that signifies the reverence for life,

Within this heavenly sphere.

It is a sanctuary of God’s eternal love

And life without fear.

I am on my journey

And I pray that I walk this way.

To this path in such a holy place

Where I see your luminous grace.

(msuzanne April 6, 2012)

Since I started this blog (3 weeks ago) I have been very inspired by a website called photobotos.com Everyday they feature beautiful and creative photographs that have opened my eyes and heart to other parts of the world, that I have never seen, and now I plan to someday see. With every photo I am struck in awe by the incredible creativity of God. The beauty created in every part of our universe, the diversity in God’s creativeness and yet the similarity, all created out of love and with joy.  I am filled with joy to know I live in this incredible universe with inspirational diversity.

I took a stumble today down a hill I rolled

And landed in affray.

I was in the depth of my murky haze

Covered in a negative spew,

When I realized the error of my way.

So I acknowledged my wrong and sat in forgiveness of me,

And you graciously extended your saving hand.

So with you as my guide

I eagerly climbed into your glorious fold.

Thank You Lord,

For you are always welcoming to a precious soul.

The Truth of Thee

Is seen in the glory of a tree.

The magnificence of the Lord

Is seen in the tiniest insect that be.

The Love of God

Is in every living thing.

The Joy of Spirit

Is in the birth of life.

It is within the Almighties Light

That the universe exists

And the Love flourishes

Of which we are nourished.

The Power of the Creator

Is in the humanity of all,

For it is God who speaks our beckoning call.

Our call to embrace all his creativity

Regardless of religion or race.

Regardless of manmade law

We are one in the bosom of the Lord.

Each and every one of us is adored.

For it is in the Truth of the Lord.

It is Divine Law.

God is…you are…I am

One in all.

I was running around the lake you see,

When up in the sky

I saw the sun laughing at me.

So I ran to the beach and saw him waving good-bye,

I knew the sun was playing a trick on me

When I saw him slid down behind the trees.

So I jumped up and down hoping to see,

If the sun was still looking at me.

I saw an orange speck between the trees,

I thought it was the sun winking at me.

With a blink of my eyes and giggle of glee,

That speck was gone

and no-one was left watching me.

Even though the sun played a trick on me,

I’m sure from between the trees

It was the Lord who winked at me.

(msuzanne, 1981)

I wrote this poem when I was 21 years old while I was spending a wonderful week in the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains.  One evening I was out for a jog around the lake when I saw the sun setting.  It was a warm summer night in August.  Before the sun set I sat and prayed by the lake.  I lost all sense of time and when the sun started to set it was a reminder I must run back to where I was staying.  The setting sun and the wink from between the trees left me knowing that God was right there with me.  So we continued on our jog.

Erupting Volcano – Johannes Gunnar – Featured Photographer   www.photobotos.com

Eyjafjallajökull  Glacier, Iceland

Erupting Volcano

In the volcano that erupts

There is a heavenly energy source,

That surges through our earthly core.

Coursing through the veins of the universe,

Is a power so great that transforms

The land that it disintegrates.

In this world of hot and cold,

There is a place for both to stand side by side.

For the volcano to erupt from the ice,

For the heat to embrace the cold,

For the heart of God

To heal the injured soul.

All is good in God’s creative universe.

From the largest of mountains to the tiniest of insects that I can see,

There is the breath and thoughts of God visible for all Eternity.

From One Source, The Creator of all brings us beauty and tranquility,

In the flowers that grow and the trees that bud,

It is the divine message of God’s Love.

Hidden within the core is the heart of the Lord.

Overflowing with love for all to see,

The lava that spews is a divinity.

The duality of this picture of volcano and ice is the

Truth of the expansiveness of God’s creativity.

From ice so many ages ago came the lands we now sow.

From the heat of volcanos past came the newest of all that last.

In this universe and for the entire world to see

Is a perfect picture of God’s unity.

Many would say this is a dreary day.

Yet, I see the glory of Thee.

In the charcoal gray of the clouds you lay,

There is a hint of white in the fray.

And off into the distance a misty pink slides in.

The moisture in the air is your breath,

Breathing life into each and every living thing.

You nourish the world I see with your essence within the rain,

Your life giving love is flowing free through everything.

And there in the tree is a community nourished by Thee.

Your magnificence is the life within,

From the tiniest of bugs that borrows deep

To the family of squirrels that run and play

On the limbs that sway.

The birds that nest and sing to Thee

All rejoice in the glory of this day

And thank you Lord for the nourishing gray.

Lord the first gift I see of this day

Is the darkness of the sky lifting away,

As the darkness melds into a charcoal gray.

The singing of birds in unison for Thee,

Is like a chorus of angels perched in the tree.

The tree once hidden in the darkness of night

Now shows its silhouette to me.

As the sky transforms in heavenly delight

 I sit in love of Thee.

The fish in my pond break water to see

The Glory of God in the brightening sky.

The night animals return to their hiding place,

And close their eyes to your loving grace.

In harmony of this magnificent morn

I pray in homage and give thanks for this day.

Within the essence of your divinity

I am delighted by Thee.
