IMAGINE by Ruth Calder Murphy

Amongst others, there is a certain passage in the Bible that gives me goosebumps…  That seems to whisper something bigger than I can quite put my finger on. It’s in the New Testament Letter to the Ephesians and is talking about being able to approach God with confidence... it goes on to say: “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,   so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at wor

NATURE'S SYMPHONY by Sarah Courtney Dean

Part of being a Druid for me is that all things are connected... Each rock, tree, bird, animal, and human being joined in this dance we call life. Not one being more important than the other, each with a part to play in the greater scheme, which is to honour our Mother. Nature's Symphony  Rushes heavy with their Summer seed heads Bend with the breeze Alive With warbling birds Not Exactly Singing As this could not be called a song But it is praise To the Creator.                                                                   And I find peace Where nature meets The creators paint brush Alive In all creation Living Breathing Life Begetting more life in a colourful symphony Alive with Her sounds Alive with                                                                          Her Sarah Courtney Dean : I am a poet and my poetry is part and parcel of my spiritual tradition. I am a Druid and a seer and a

HOPE TOOK A HIKE by Edith Lazenby Trilling

Sometimes life gives us challenges… Sometimes the challenge is finding the value in life.  I wrote this tonight. There are always curve balls and the unexpected. Yet when the floor is pulled out, when I am left questioning all I have known, hope takes a hike...and this is where it took me. ~Artistic Photography: Wilderness' by Katarina Silva~ Hope Took A Hike Hope took a hike down a trail and I cannot see where she is going: lost I seek her footprints; Eyes bent toward branches and try to find her scent. I fear she left me here in a wood with trees and fallen limbs on a night without benefit of the moon. I collect the wood and begin a fire though it is summer. The air feeds the flames. I want to burn like that. I want to feel passion ignite my insides with meaning. Instead I left care in a door I can no longer open. Time is a mist in my mind. Nothing holds nothing. I look inside to find a shadow. If

THESE WATERS by Jessica Mokrzyckl

 Nearly every summer, since childhood to the present, I have returned annually to the shores of Cape Cod… …Spending days walking along its sandy beaches and gazing at colorful kites pirouetting across its sun drenched skies. As my family and I make preparations to have our senses once again inundated with the exhilarating combination of salt air and invigorating waters I couldn't help but reflect on the fact that every time I come back to this place of abundant memories I return a different person.  One year I remember going up to that most treasured peninsula jutting out from the eastern seaboard as a child dreaming of being an astronaut. Mesmerized by the heavens I sat, wide-eyed, gazing out at the view before me stretching out into infinity. Another summer I went up as a bright-eyed dreamer envisioning that I would change the world and someday ride the ocean's waves on Greenpeace rafts and save whales from being murdered. I've returne

I KNOW YOU ARE THERE by Kia Miller

This poem came through in less than an hour…  It speaks of my relationship to the Divine, how our senses can become glorious agents, delivering to us all manner of heavenly delights. Everything in life is perception. In the Tantric/Kundalini tradition a merging with life is encouraged, rather than withdrawing can we engage wholeheartedly and in doing so, feel every thing as part of one Creative Source represented in a myriad of different ways.   ~Pictured is the author Kia Miller~ I Know You Are There I know you are there I feel you in the longing of my heart
 To merge, to become the melody of your song 
I see you in the moonlit shimmer on the river,
 And the eyes that look back at mine with wild abandon 
I hear you as you pluck the strings of my life 
and whisper truths in my ears 
I taste you in the nectar of sun ripened fruit 
and fresh honey comb 
I smell you in the fragrance of earth touched by rain,
 And the intoxicating scent

A SONG OF SILENCE by Julia Butterfly Hill

I am truly honored to share an expression of my creativity with you… I believe that creativity is absolutely vital to the success of shifting consciousness and actions. Creativity is about the expression of life-force energy, reaching out to find the common language of heart, spirit, and intrinsic understandings that cross perceived boundaries and transform consciousness. Through this we transform the world. I always feel blessed when creativity flows through me, and I love when I have opportunities to share this part of myself. A Song of Silence The music within my soul sings a song of silence in the hurried rush, cacophony of chaos. As we all rush around in pursuit of emptiness cleverly disguised as freedom, value, and being worthy of love. Looking for the ever-elusive something to help us fill the void and feed the hunger of our deepest, lost desire; Of truth and remembering that each one of us is divine and g
