Empathy

Comforting

The ability to understand and to share
The feelings of another is called empathy.
It’s a sensitivity to and awareness
Of others’ emotions. People need to express
Their compassion. The only motive is truly
Understanding the feelings of those in despair.

Empathy makes it difficult to turn a blind
Eye to the suffering of others. It helps us
To relate to them so that we can respond to
Their not well situation. All that we can do
To bring comfort to them is a blessed thing plus
It brings to both parties involved some peace of mind.

Everyone’s born with this capability, but
It may need to be redeveloped or relearned.
Many in modern society have lost touch
With their sense of compassion because it’s too much
Of a bother. About others they’re not concerned
Empathy can’t be practiced when the heart is shut.

The process of spiritual awakening
Concerns sensitivity to the collective
Consciousness of humanity. There’s no such thing
As another. We all are simply one being.
No one can be told which is the right way to live.
Everything’s affected by what you’re offering.

The Rock

The Apparently Unmovable

There is only one Rock. You make think there are more,
And there are, but the main Rock is simply called God.
Having to use the ‘he’ word is quite a disgrace
For divinity. The Rock we cannot replace
With a human description. I do find it odd
That inadequate language is what is called for.

The Rock is not a hard place. It is consciousness.
It is perfect for all its ways are of justice.
It is stable and steady yet without substance.
It is provident, and we are given the chance
To exist constantly in a pure state of bliss.
Nothing but love and kindness does this force express.

It is without iniquity since it is not
Of the physical, but faithfulness to the laws
Of existence created it promises us.
Many ways of relating to it we discuss.
We are last to discover what is the First Cause.
We believe that we’re not supposed to know a lot.

There is no Rock but the Rock that we call divine.
Why we must understand it remains also why
We are here in the first place. Through our worshiping
The potential for world peace is always growing.
When you’re next to the hard place, The Rock don’t deny.
It is possible that things will turn out just fine.

One Of Us

The Penalty Of Belonging

“What’s Your Social?”, it’s asked, and there is a response.
Everyone knows the drill and will play by the rules.
‘Your Social’ is unique enough to cast a spell
On the physical consciousness. It does this well
It’s expected that all behave like molecules
That are totally driven by their needs and wants.

It’s a personal question, so one must take care
Not to disclose the puzzle piece of the heartbeat
To unauthorized persons. No one wonders why
Nor is there any problem. By law all comply.
Can one mess with a system that cannot be beat?
Anyone thinking they can had better beware.

One Of Us or of any is meant to be one
Of all ones to be thought of… meaning everything
From the one who is singular to all there are.
One need not know their oneness by looking too far
Into rational thought and literal meaning.
The conceptual mantra can get a lot done.

It’s no mark of acceptance – just of inclusion
Within orders created by one’s circumstance.
To be known as One Of Us feels like I belong
To something that has meaning. All that I’ve done wrong
Tells me strongly that I will get no second chance
To behave in a better way with everyone.

Just For Two Days

Explore Life's Sensations

Don’t believe your reality. It’s a platform
From which everything bounces into what is new.
Don’t believe that ‘what is’ should be of much concern.
How you feel inside matches the sultry extern.
Give ‘what is’ the attention indeed it is due.
It is past tense yet so contrary to the norm.

Expectation that you have means there’s a desire
With belief at the same place so it is immense.
Don’t rely much on effort. Focus on your mood.
It pays to have a magnificent attitude
So that life is a fairytale filled with suspense.
Every next moment easily will take you higher.

The way to be expectant is to put the past
Where it rightly belongs and to then move forward.
Is there something worth focusing on to distract
You from your strong addiction to matters of fact?
Your confounding reality can be ignored
By attending to your own terrific forecast.

Something else has to be equally compelling
For the grip on ‘what is’ now to give up its hold.
“What’s the feeling I’m reaching for?” Ask this question
All the time for just two days. What will have begun
Is a habit that can be more precious than gold.
You’re worthy of a life that is more fulfilling.

Allow The Nonphysical

Let Spirit Assist

Not alone are you in this and never have been.
There are those who, in spirit, are working with you.
Grandparents and their parents, teachers, and healers,
And all whom we call God among many masters
Are conscious and supportive of all that you do.
Their guidance is beneficial time and again.

You are not being tested here but supported
And you’re not being challenged but inspired to
Be the fullness of who you are which includes those
Who you love and who love you. Let spirit expose
Secrets to your fulfillment in all that you do.
Take delight in your knowing, then forging ahead.

Reveling in your moment are all who you know
And the infinite unknown whom you’ll never meet.
In this moment are you letting clarity come?
Or are you sabotaging it because of some
Little thing that upset you? It’s best that you treat
Yourself as loved and cherished. Let good tidings flow.

Listen to what is offered from beings who were
Where you are now in this time space reality.
Beloved, worthy, and blessed we are to them all.
Interest they have in what you do large or small.
Eagerness, grace, and power come ultimately.
Isn’t this the kind of life that you would prefer?

Children

Humanity's Treasured Assets

Your children are not your children, this you should know.
Sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself, they
Come through you but not from you. Although they’re with you
They belong not to you. And for all that you do,
You may give them your love, but your thoughts, keep away
For their thoughts are their own as they wholesomely grow.

You may house their young bodies but never their souls.
For theirs dwell in the house of tomorrow which can’t
Be visited by you, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, as their brightness beams.
But do not make them like you nor try to implant
Your beliefs into them. It’s the worst of all goals.

Life goes forward – not backward, and it tarries not
With the things that were yesterday’s. You are the bows
From which your children as living arrows are shot.
The Archer sees the path and will nurture its plot.
With the bow’s might, swift and far will go the arrows.
Through nature’s evolution the wise soul is taught.

Let you bending in the Archer’s hand be gladness
For the ongoing process of love’s expression.
Even as the Archer loves the arrow that flies
He loves also the bow who can well recognize
How to keep itself stable. Your work will be done
In complete loving guidance and pure truthfulness.

It All Goes Together

Nature's Imperfect Puzzle

All of life is a process and is of all things
We perceive as inanimate. Relationship
Between organism and the environment
Is one that is built upon mutual consent.
Not by chance can the process be able to whip
Its own self into being. Somehow intent rings.

From the very beginning of things as they are…
The earth brings forth its life forms. The life, in return,
Recreates the environment. This is process!
The big moment that went Bang has done so to stress
Its dynamic creative force. Its sole concern
Is diversity infinite and most bizarre.

Through the ages, people’s common sense has been played.
We’re made to feel as if we are aliens here,
Separated from earth and from one another.
Questioning these assumptions will often occur
To some few through awakening out of their fear.
They’d decided to discard the social charade.

People thought once earth was flat until someone
Sailed around it, thus disproving what was well known.
They got used to believing the new truth revealed.
I must use discernment to not be drawn afield
Of free will in my thinking. No one is alone
But a part of the process that can’t be undone.
