My mother's twin brother took his last earthly breath yesterday. How comforting to know that he's being well taken care of now by many we've already said goodbye to, and to know that our family will see him again some day. The poem that came through today is a wonderful [...]
Amid the clamor and the noise, Hear these, our words… Charity, a gift of the heart Is a good place to start To know the goodness that is yours. When gifts are given Asking nothing in return, God’s good grace is what you earn. We speak not just of money [...]
So many children suffer From too little food. Not enough to go around For the entire brood. Hear these words: If one goes hungry All do starve. There’s no need for this With so much meat to carve. You live in a world Of have and have not. In some [...]
Tarry not. No time to waste. There’s much to learn. Sweet words to taste … Forgive the sinner. He knows not Of how to use the gifts he’s got. For all are blessed with mighty power. But used unwisely, the soul it can devour. Sit in silence and contemplate What [...]
I sensed a totally new presence today: an older man who felt “crotchety.” My writing came out in block script. It felt terse. I had no idea what was coming through as I wrote it, only that it was a completely different style. I didn’t know when it was finished [...]
Soft as a velvet blanket Waves lap upon the shore. Hear our quiet message: There is life forever more. Eternity. To live forever is your dream. This we promise you… A world that is unseen. In the silence Feel your way. Here in meditation Can you play. Explore our world. [...]
Left alone one wonders ... Who am I? See the beauty That there does lie. A beautiful flower Left to bloom. To grow and to blossom There’s plenty of room. Smell the fragrance So sweet and pure. Like a young debutante So completely demure. Innocence Lies at your core But [...]
Once they started, the words came incredibly quickly and clearly today. An awesome experience of not consciously thinking, but remaining receptive. Surrender to your fate. There are things that you must do. Listen to the words we say. Advice we bring to you. Have faith that all will come out [...]
Do not think that what you see Is all that does exist. There lies much more beyond your sight. This thought do not resist. For when you look with sightless eyes True beauty will you see. You’ll travel with your mind and heart Into eternity. While in a body you [...]
Special. That is what you are. Shining brightly like a star. Created in His image, you’re told. As valuable as a hunk of gold. Chisel the rock, and what do you find? There inside does lie the mind. The part of you that does control Communication with the soul. When [...]
Blessed are the children For wrong-thinking they have not. They don’t spend their moments Criticizing every thought. It’s only as they grow and age That they do learn to think. And with each false belief they learn The further they do sink. Different cultures, different norms exist Yet inside all [...]
I felt no presence for longer than usual, then a strong lightheadedness and a whole new “voice”… The womb. Heart of creation. There does arise A great surprise. New birth. What on earth? How does a child grow? You want to know. From a pairing A thought so daring-- To [...]
Little lambs do wander in a flock, Bleating softly, unaware of danger. They shuffle about, living only for the moment. Then return at night to the safety of their manger. But what of the one who does lose his way? Forsaking the others for his will to play. What guides [...]
You think the mind is in the brain But there it does not live The brain is but an instrument Good service does it give. It takes the many inputs That come in through the sense. But it’s the mind that takes the cues And deals with them thus hence. [...]
The tolling of the bell And all is well As little heads do lie and sleep. Yet there alone One does weep. Oh, why, little one Do you cry? Let me wipe the tear from your eye. Bad dreams it seems Have cast a shadow. Fear not Your dreams aren’t [...]
This poem came through today for a new friend of mine, but it holds great wisdom for all of us. Sickness of the mind oft comes From false beliefs about one’s worth. You walk around believing You’ve been unwanted from your birth. All your life you felt the shame The [...]
See into the future. Who knows what it does hold? But having faith that you are led Your forward steps are bold. So few among you understand The future is not set. But part of choices you do make. It hasn’t happened yet! But with each small decision Your future [...]
Many differences have you all. To love or to hate—that is your call. In judgment you do sit and think. But who are you to say? What’s good to one, to another is bad. What makes one happy, to another makes sad. Yet these beliefs do hold you back. They [...]
Prose. Words of beauty put together. Words used to describe things of your world. But what of beauty which words can’t describe? The beauty and love deep inside? For this you need the heart. Feel the waves ... The flow of love that burns within the chest. It lies in [...]
Today's poem is unlike any of the others ... This one's not meant for me (I'm not grieving, nor depressed in the slightest). Very thought provoking. Very different. Grief. Like a knife it does pierce. A bite so fierce. Oh, the pain. I’ll never be the same. Survive. I’m still [...]
Dedicate your life in service. It’s the best gift you can give. So that others who come in your path Much better they may live. We speak of this same thought a lot. For it’s your greatest task. To give to others your great gift Is all that we do [...]
Dreams and goals are good to have. They keep you well on track; Forever moving forward, And never turning back. Sitting in the silence Is the perfect way to start. In this space you form your dreams And feel them in your heart. You know not what the future holds [...]
Knights in shining armor Ride in on a white horse To rescue the fair damsel. It’s a fairy tale, of course. But in your world exist a few Who like the shining knight, Do come to others’ rescue. Like an angel they take flight. Who are these earthly angels Who [...]
(I felt a very strong male presence. My writing was in block print) How do you know The right way to go When with a blindfold you do walk? You see not the way before you But stumble on. The path is lighted, If only you would open your eyes [...]
A field stretches out before you Its grass is wet with dew And in each tiny drop of water Is hope and faith anew For in your world of matter So many little things Represent the larger world Of which all nature sings All that you see is just a [...]
I started reading a book last night called "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot. It seems as if the Council of Poets is trying to clarify some of what I've been wondering about ... Golden orbs do glitter From where do they come? Leaving all to wonder Are they products [...]
Energy pulses in rhythmic beats Into eternity the cycle repeats Beating onward like a drum With a mighty, endless hum It marches in step to every wish Like a flock of birds, a school of fish That move together as a whole Thinking only with the soul How do they [...]
I'm currently sailing past Boston harbor in 4-5 seas with winds around 25 knots. These conditions make for rather exhilarating sailing, but are not conducive to meditating! I learned the other day that the spirit world is patient with me, so I'll tune in for their next poem when I'm [...]
What a strong presence I felt today! And totally new ... Years ago when you were young All your days were aimed at fun You played and ran under the sun Unaware of what had begun But deep inside there grew a seed And as it grew there came a [...]
Yesterday I spent 10 hours sailing from Maine to New Hampshire in 6 foot seas, rocking and rolling, unable to do anything but hang on. I tried to meditate in the morning, but kept sliding about in my chair. I tried again last evening when we got to a marina, [...]
