Super Nova with Arms and Legs

SUPER NOVA WITH ARMS AND LEGS


What was I to do about her heart . . . it was really big,
What was I to do about her smile . . . it was so beautiful,
What was I to do about her grace . . . it oozed out of her,
What was I to do about her sense of humour . . . it was infectious,
What was I to do about her sensitivity . . . it was miles wide,
What was I to do about her kindness . . . it spoke volumes,
What was I to do about her gift of song . . . it rang through the heavens,
What was I to do about her presence . . . it filled a room,
What was I to do about her imagination . . . it lit up the skies,
What was I to do about her eyes . . .  they spoke of heaven,
What was I to do about her hair . . . it fell like a waterfall,
What was I to do about her voice . . . it carried across time!

 How could I possibly create a body for such an immense force of nature?
I knew my daughter before she was even a twinkle in my eye and I wanted her!
Only, I had to get really creative about how I was going bring her into a body, so that she 
could manage all that she was.
From super nova to human is no easy feat.
So I thought that being tall, meant she would be seen,
I thought that being beautiful, meant that she would be acceptable,
I thought that having a nightingale's voice, she would be heard,
And I thought that having a generous heart, all those around her would share.

There is a reason for everything!

The Great Journey of Ascension

-

  And the days ahead . . . The exhausted apex climber takes a breath and lets her body go momentarily silent. He is nearly there; he can smell the clean air amid the heights of personal effort. Then, with one last breath, she pulls herself away from the mountain face to begin the final ascent. He matches each footstep, one step after the other, with courage, resilience, fortitude, bravery, discipline, and focus. She clears the top! Nothing is above her, and everything below is a testimony to the effort and single-mindedness that allowed him to overcome challenges along the way, like the stone in her shoe and the slip when he misjudged the stone’s integrity. Not everyone would experience a stone in her shoe or the dangers of a loose rock. Instead, others might experience a cutting wind or skin blistered by the blazing sun. While some would cry and sit on the ground as their frustration got the the better of them, others would try to help by offering to share their load. Some would r...

Letter To My Heart

12/12/2017 LETTER TO MY HEART Dear Heart . . . I know that I have kept you in the eternal wardrobe of mindless endeavours. In this darkness, you have persisted on knocking at the door and have never given up on me. Your rhythmic beating has always  faithfully  kept me alive and able to do the things that I do, had the experiences that I have had and the loves that I have cared about.  I have neglected you on so many levels and have rarely fed you the right stuff  . . . and I have ignored your fervent warnings when tough decisions have been imminent.  For this, I write this letter - I want to acknowledge that you are paramount to my survival and not only do you beat the rhythm which keeps me breathing, but you know me better than anyone else, as you are the friend who has been with me the longest! As positive change is a part of my future, I want you to be a part of that too! I want you to be at the head of my table, ta...

Why We Kneel

-

19/12/2017 KNEELING IS NOT RELIGIOUS . . . Kneeling is human . . . When circumstances give you more than you can stand . . . it is time to kneel. There are two grand mysteries wrapped up in the art of kneeling . . . and it is an art! The first mystery is the kneeling itself and it is the time to relinquish everything and surrender all the burdens that cause the back to bend, the knees to buckle and the heart to strain. Bringing the knees to the ground, connects the heart to the earth. The second mystery is the holding of the hands in prayer and it is time to close off all earthly concerns and open a circuit between the heart, the intuition and the divine.  Religious folk do this, yogi's do this and many other believers do this - It is a natural state of being human, to seek a place of solace, a sacred sanctum or sanctuary, to withdraw from the maddening crowd and find the voice that speaks from within - In the position of prayer as described above, you ...
