Opening Up

Opening Up
If I worked harder
maybe I could love more.
That is what they said to me.
It is what we have been taught to do,
work harder to become better.
What if instead of working harder
on loving more,
we opened our hearts and souls
to being loved by God.
What if we opening ourselves up
to receiving love,
taught us how to love others.
Not because we were working hard
but because it flowed from us,
like God’s love flows into us.
What if we worked harder
at opening ourselves up
to a deeper relationship
with our spiritual guide and mentor?
Opening up is not about working hard
it is about letting God
fill up our cup with love and blessings
and then allowing
what flows over
to flow unto others.
Our cup cannot runneth over,
if it has not first been filled.
open yourself to being filled
then let the overflow flow
naturally unto others.

Freeing

Freeing

I was once taught
I needed to forget
to free myself and grow.
if I live my life as if everything is now,
with a beginner’s mind,
then everything is new,
freeing,
and open to possibilities.
If I forget that I am supposed to be afraid,
then I free myself from anxiety and fear.
If I forget what I expect others to do
or how I expect a situation to be,
then I free myself from the disappointments
and suffering from when they are not met.
If I forget what I understand
then I open myself to new understandings.
If I forget what an experience was like,
then I free myself from the positive and negative
that shape my willingness to experience life and people.
So today I am working on
freeing myself
and experience all
with a beginner’s mind.

Generosity

It wasn’t anything big,
the gift I was given,
but I know it came from her heart.
There is something
about generosity
which
can open you up
regardless of whether you are
the giver or the one giving.
She shared something I know she treasured
with me.
It was one of those pastries
only her mom knew how to make.
I remember how much she loved them
and yet she shared one with me
and that made me feel so loved.
It was more than a pastry,
it was a gift from her heart.

When I share with others
I think of how I felt
and how it opened me up
and pray it will do the same for others.
Generosity
is not only about what we give to others,
but the gift that comes back to us
in the process.
