Paths of Stone

White and red, the path I tread,
Illumined with light from above.
Broken and round, how solid the ground,
Leading me to His love.
As people walk by, their inner eye,
Directed towards His Shrine.
Their souls aflame, their only aim,
Connecting to the Divine.
The stones just before, you walk through that door,
Tell a unique and beautiful story.
Gathered by hands, from Israeli sands,
Their steadfastness rewarded in glory.
Smooth and round, lain on the ground,
By believers filled with grace.
From a distance their unity adds to the beauty,
Of that Holy and Beloved place.
But when there's a storm, they completely transform,
The dross of this world's washed away.
And under the dust, lies hidden a trust,
Of beauty we'll never betray.
Uniquely composed, gems are exposed,
By the flood of His abounding Grace.
This same depth of glory, can be seen in the story,
Of the entire human race.

With Love

Hearts more pure you couldn’t find
Divinely connected, soul’s entwined
Eyes so genuine your love it shines
The beauty of God in every line

Side by side you’ll walk together
Through life’s tests and stormy weather
Serving and radiant in all you do
God’s abounding grace always in view

Two orbs of light capturing hearts
Luminous rays from the very start
Bringing peace to every soul
Illumining every darkened hole

Your personalities are the perfect blend
Of love and joy there is no end
In your presence my soul transcends
So blessed am I to be called a friend

A message from the Higher Self to the lower self

Stop.
Stop telling yourself that it matters.
What they think.
If they find you awkward or annoying or embarrassing.
If you are disappointing their good opinion of you.
Stop worrying whether you are good enough.
Smart enough.
Talented enough to be their friend.
Stop feeling like friendship is something you have to earn.
Like showing emotions will force people away.
Stop changing yourself to be who you think they want you to be.
Stop hiding.
Stop fearing
Stop.
Be you.
Trust them enough to love you no matter who “you” are.
Trust yourself enough not to care if they don’t.
Trust that regardless of who you are, people are much more attracted to the genuine.
Stop being weighed down by the self.
Let Me shine through.
The clouds, the storm, the pain, the loneliness, will go away.
You’ll be left with joy and humor and happiness and peace.
The uncertainty, the fear, the anguish will disappear.
You will never feel alone if you truly let Me in.
Believe in Me.
Trust in Me.
Love Me.
For that is the only way to truly love you.
