Pollution

Pollution

Why is it that we regulate that which physically pollutes
the environment, but not that which pollutes the energy.
How many times have I thought something
which pollutes my thoughts and the words I speak.
I cannot think something I do not believe,
so what in my belief system is polluted.
What in my belief system needs to be outlawed,
to prevent me from thinking it,
which in turn would prevent me from speaking it.
I am mindful that our physical climate cannot be restored overnight.
We are working, well some of us,
to reduce carbon omissions,
and other things polluting the environment.
What if those of us concerned with the environment,
began by reducing the toxins from our belief systems?
What if we began by removing those beliefs which lead us
to value one group of people over another
or one quality over another?
What if we replaced fear with love?
What if we challenged ourselves to not speak
unless what we had to say was truthful, necessary and kind?
What if we worked on radiating love, light and positive energy into the world,
instead of hate, fear, and negativity?
What if we each tried to reduce the emotional, mental and physical pollutants in this world?
Let’s begin to not only save the planet and the animals,
but each other.

Look Deeper

Look Deeper

I am always grateful to my ancestors,
and the wisdom they left me.
My Bubby and my mother,
both taught me about love.
There was one thing
both taught me to not say.
I hate you.
Those words,
they would say
are not of love.
Hate is not of love.
I could hate the action,
the behavior,
but not the person.
I think about that lesson today
with the political,
social,
civic,
and economic unrest.
I can hear them reminding
me that even those
contributing to the unrest
are of the Ultimate.
In the midst of the unrest,
I radiate love to all,
including those whose actions
I disdain.
However, rather then say I hate them,
I hold on to the wisdom
of my ancestors
and look deeper for the fragment
of the One who
created them as well.

Do Unto Others

Do Unto Others

I can hear my mother’s voice now
as she continues to remind me
to do unto others,
as I would have them do unto me.
What does that look like and feel like in my life?
Do I cause harm to do others
when I do something that benefits myself?
If I had an opportunity for a better paying job,
do I not take it because someone else may need it more?
Do I accept the invite to host a party for someone,
because I would want them to do that for me? 
What if they don’t?
I come back to that teaching
and remember it is how I would want them to treat me,
now how they will.
I have to do what I know to be right,
whether others do or not.
I do not have control over the choices of others,
only myself,
This new year, as I write my last poem of this year,
may I remember to live and practice
the golden rule,
regardless of whether or not others do.

Mindset

Mindset

One of the most important things I learned this year,
was that it’s all about my mindset.
Everything is about my mindset.
I can wake up and say I am tired or energized.
Whatever I say is true.
What I believe
is what determines my actions,
and that is what determines my results
and that will reaffirm my beliefs.
Whatever I believe will be will be
because I have decided it will be.
What I have learned is that if I don’t like
the direction of my life,
I need to create a new vision for my life,
and then work diligently towards
making it happen.
Accomplishing anything in my life,
begins and ends with me.
I am the artist of my life.
I am the one who creates the vision.
I am the one who works towards attaining my goals.
My and my mindset.
If I want a new reality,
I have to create a new mindset.

Every Move I Make

Every thing I do
every thing I think
is a spiritual task.

I sat there this morning
as I was feeling the warmth
of the cast iron bowl in my hand
that this was the warmth and comfort
I feel when I know
I am with the Ultimate.
When I see the sacred in everything,
whether it is taking out the trash
or cleaning
or cooking
or eating
or sitting in a meeting,
then it takes on a new meaning.
It is not just a chore to be done,
it is time with the Ultimate.
It is a reminder that the next moment
is not promised.
I have to live each moment
as if it were my last
and perform each task
as if it were a spiritual one
a way of connecting
with the One.
