Silence

Silence

Silence,
it is one of the 8 nouns I used to describe me
in an exercise with my students.
Why silence, they ask.
thinking it is because I am quiet
or just don’t like noise.
Silence
is so much more.
Silence is a process.
it enables me to journey to a space
away from all distractions.
Silence
brings me to
a spiritual sauna
where my senses
bathe in the silence.
It is where I hear the symphony
I can only hear in the silence.
I can see the artistry and creativity
I can only see in the silence.
I can taste the goodness in life
I can only taste in the silence.
I can smell scents
I can only smell in the silence.
I can embrace all
I can only embrace in the silence.
Silence
is that space
where all is released and removed
and I am
cleansed, rejuvenated, renewed,
and prepared to live outside of the
silence.

Embrace It

Embrace It

It comes into my life,
the things I want,
the things I don’t
and that which I dread.
Sometimes I want to push things away,
run from them,
place barriers between us,
and create ways to avoid
what I do not want to embrace.
Yet I remember that
what life brings me
is a gift,
an opportunity to grow,
a chance to embrace the grace
and the goodness from the Ultimate.
It is not about the challenge,
but how I address it.
So when people bring me their hate
their bias,
and their prejudice
how do I respond.
Do I respond out of hurt,
anger,
pain,
resentment,
and hate?
Or do I remember
that they have not been exposed to
the same teachings of the Ultimate
I have.
Do I embrace this
as an opportunity
to share a truth
I have been given from above.
Do I embrace this opportunity
and offer all the grace
offered to me
and love others
as I have been loved.
Do I love you,
even when you do not love me?
Do I remember to embrace you,
even when you
do not want to embrace me?
Today I embrace all,
even if from a distance,
because all is helping me
to grow.

Willing to Embrace

Forgiveness is a gift,
it is about setting us both free.
it is about reaching across
all the divides,
across all the barriers,
across everything that makes us not
want to be willing to embrace.

Being willing to embrace
is not physical,
its about allowing our love
to be unconditional
and transformative.
it’s about being able to
move through all barriers,
defy all the odds,
embracing in the
unconditional love
which lives within us.

Being willing to embrace
is about being resistant
in a world that teaches us to be
mean,
petty,
vindictive
and cruel.

Being willing to embrace
is about opening our hearts
removing all the scabs
all the hard spots we have
allowed to grow
and embracing others
with the same grace,
goodness,
and unconditional love
given to us.

This is not just about embracing others.
It is also about embracing
ourselves.
It is about loving ourselves
unconditionally.
it is about being
willing to embrace
ourselves as God
embraces us.
