Stand Strong — individually and together!

Why hesitate?
Once something's done, 
it can't be undone.
Such is the nature of existence.

So what?
Go with the flow.
Or swim against the stream.
The currents carry all along.
Going against them 
brings just more or less delay.
But it may not change things.
Or does it?

Can a current be changed,
if enough swim against it?
It all starts with one.
Not that currents be reversed.
But maybe a little adjusted, 
a little more one way or another.
After all, the flow of consciousness is 
the compendium of everyone and everything.
Each individual's thrust makes a difference.
Yes, it does.

I aim to make my difference 
and relish the one you make.
Will it be for the better?
Each tries in his or her way.

In unity and harmony, 
with goodwill we help each other
and overcome the divisiveness 
that tries to pull us down.

Thus, stand strong - 
individually and together!

Active Harmony

Time had come to step out. It was a mixed bag to show oneself in all one’s strength and weakness. How would it be received? There was only one way to find out. That was to put it out there for all to see. And brace for the reactions. Most likely there would be a range, from none to hopefully some — some negative, others positive.

Some may question, even attack, others encourage. Some may be confused or misunderstand. Others may see something useful that could help them take another step ahead in unfoldment, in spiritual freedom and divine love, free of dogma and living life fully — observing and relishing how God realizes the moment present in total harmony and love for all and everything.

This is the fulcrum, the harmonic pivot to alert each other to, with the encouragement to find one’s own expression and explore how this applies in every-day life. This is active harmony.

Active harmony, harvest time – September 2020

Could it be that simple?

Who’s even interested? There is so much, such an abundance of expressions all over the place!

What’s worth saying, passing along? And who may ever be interested in it? In order to find out, one has to take the risk of offering something, put it out there for all to see. And still, as it goes with the human framework, it may be of highest quality, but if it did not strike a chord and get attention spreading, it may just wither away, unless one were on fire to the extent that it didn’t need any outside nurturing to exist, to come into and stay in existence.

Then the question arises, what becomes of it, where does it go, when one passes on. Will there be a legacy that survives? Will there be others who pick up the threads and reins? It does matter, and still it does not! Because the fulfillment of purpose is in the present moment, not in the future, nor in the past. Fulfillment is in the now. It all is in the present moment. Or else, there is nothing. This sounds quite absolute. Could it be that simple?

One pivot after another

One pivot of harmony after another. All in the present moment. Start small — in steps. Try something new. Not all at once. But steady. With focus and flexibility. It’s a celebration, a privilege to facilitate oneself in spiritual freedom. The purpose is fulfilled in the now. The rest is hardly that relevant. Creating is creation’s goal. Then, it is best left to be what it is. Move on with the flow, let go of what was. Enjoy the now for what it is. What else is there anyway?

Illusions abound. Smoke and mirrors make up much of human society, interaction, and politics — all sorts of relationships. Close ones, dear ones hold together. Goodwill and love carry the day, carry life in harmony. The more the better. But this physical world is characterized by duality and food chains. What do you eat? And what eats you? There is power in size. Big can stomp the small, unless it’s so small, it can get inside the big. Thus, very small has more strength than big. This we tend to overlook.

Maybe Singing or Dancing

*
It's enough.
And still, there's always more.
Never too little.
And never too much.
Though few see it as such.
Most see not enough on one hand,
and too much on the other.
But really, there is a balance.
It's different in every moment anew.
It does not stay the same.
It flows - the flow.
It sounds - the sound.
It shines - the light.
It loves - the love.
**
Most hesitate before turning a corner.
Try to look ahead and see what's there.
Then take the plunge and see for real.
Or pull back and wonder what it could have been.
Obviously it's preferable to step ahead
and find out, explore, experience.
Thus, one can know for real.
And then, remain silent.
For there's nothing to debate.
It is what it is.
Someone who has not yet experienced it
can speculate and wonder what it could be.
But once experienced, there is no point
in further speculation;
nor does it bring much
for who still holds back 
from turning the corner,
except for encouragement
to step ahead and not retreat,
to explore further and find out
for oneself and all.
***
Not saying much,
but being,
smiling,
maybe singing or dancing.
