All Is Sacred

On this day, when many celebrate Thanksgiving, it is not bad to think about all things around us and see how much we are given for free which is much more valuable than all those goods people are rushing to buy for Black Friday.

They do not see the light which is their to grasp for free, because they are blinded by darkness. Greed makes their soul troubled and infected, though they do not feel or see the virus that is deteriorating their humanness.

Sacred is all the Lord has made. Let not indifference apathy or greed tarnish that which is innately divine. Rejoice and keep holy all that He …

All Is Sacrad

If I Could

I’d change the world if I could make it all come out right no more hunger, greed, fear I’d make a better world if I could. If I could, I’d put love …

If I Could

My heart belongs to God Who creates my home

The 14th of August my body reminded me of that what I can not control and gave a sign with my heart that I have to take it easy.
In life quite often we want to do lots of things, but sometimes it can be to much for our body and can go far beyond our own expectations.

Already several years ago I choose to give my heart to the Divine Creator. He guided me already for many years. Perhaps this year He gave a little ‘tick’ on my fingers, letting me have two heart attacks in 9 hours time. A big warning sign I have to take it easier from now on. So I shall have to listen to my heart and trust God He shall keep me going for some other few years.

The writer Pat Cegan to whom a swell of energy arises in her that is so forceful that no words can describe it. Swirls of colour composed of meticulous geometric designs wash over, around and in her, exploding into radiant golden light. For her a primordial power of love encompasses her. All concepts of life previously held seem absurd {Beyond the Beyond} She writes:

There is an endless outflow of creation which cycles back in and then out again. I can not die; I can not go away. I can neither add or subtract. There are no empty spaces. I am and I am not. {Beyond the Beyond}

I would have to tell her that I am sorry that the reality is different. She, like me, are beings that can die and probably find death, except when Great Tribulation or Armageddon would come soon and when we would stay alive throughout the big battle.

 

Though I do know, I am still alive, so God has decided it is not my time to come to an end. I take with me my heart, which is also my home and resting place. There I can feel the beating of life. Now I have even an electronic advice that tells me how it beats, how the stress level is and gives me a warning sign when something goes wrong. That is the incredible electronic advancement.

Wherever I lay my head I trust that God is with me and as such, honestly, I am not so afraid for what might happen or come over me. With Pat Cegan I then also would say:

My home is in my heart.
It’s any place where I
lay my head, for home is
my Creator, mountain
top or river bed.

{Heart and Home}

I sincerely hope some to be recorded and after the revalidation exercises from August 11 onwards, I do hope to be able again to do big walks and go up in the mountains. Though this time I do know the Red and black walks will not be any more for me. Those I’ll leave for the younger ones.

As in the previous years, be it in cities, green pastures or hills or mountains, I shall be pleased to look at what the Creator prepared for mankind. I shall be pleased that I may be a little tiny molecule in His universe, and shall be pleased to walk through His creation. And as previously I shall feel at home, because:

No matter where I wander
or even where I roam
when I am with my Creator
I am always home.

{Heart and Home}

Poor Me

Self-pity woe is me what a trap! Let all that comes your way be a gift, a treasure a lesson that leads you into serenity knowing God is always by your side. Rejoice in each opportunity to surrender to the Lord.

Poor Me

Getting Rid Of

Get rid of all that holds you back wastes your time encourages you to do that which keeps you tied to destructive habits. Stay away from people who make you feel inferior who suck you dry whiners and complainers. Remove all that is toxic in your life.

Getting Rid Of

Far too long people count on others and leave themselves influenced by others.

We have to do away with all negativism around us. Better to concentrate on the positive elements around us.

Power of Poetry

What Matters?

All of it matters. None of it matters. What seems so vital today is forgotten tomorrow. We are movie stars longing for the Oscar. We act out the dramas of life… heroes or villains to the end, lost in a make-believe world foiled by the illusion that life is real. The secret is to remember […]

What Matters?

Hidden Secrets #1

None of it matters for in the end there is only the love of the Creator

Nooit is Zelden Nooit

 

Nooit is een lange tijd.
Wees voorzichtig met wat je zegt
want het kan terugkomen
om je op het einde te bijten.
~ Pat Cegan

English original version: Never Is Seldom Never

Never Is Seldom Never

Dutch translation / Nederlandse vertaling: Nooit is Zelden Nooit

Never is a long time.
Be careful what you declare
for it may come back
to bite you in the end.

Two Sides

Source of Inspiration

The coin has two faces;
turn the coin over to choose
dawn or sunset
day or night
where will your spirit roam?
You can not escape your choices
even not choosing
is a choice
to give others your power.

Who you are today
results from past choices.
Who you will become
is determined
by today’s decisions.

What Did We Do?

Source of Inspiration

Not even night
brings relief from the heat.
What have we done
when pools boil
in lands where
forests have been slain?

Climates gone haywire
ice caps melting
waves of water wash
life away, pollution the norm.
What have we done?

Across the globe, people
gather to find solutions
to the destruction greed
has caused. Join their voice
start the change wherever you live.
Plant a tree, save water
stop buying that which
contributes to the loss
of this earth’s resources.
Each of us can make a difference.

Choose Carefully

Source of Inspiration

If you want to build a community,
gather those who dream and yearn
for like-minded ideals. Make
friends with those who share your
values. Being too open minded
can be a trap, too.

The Forest

Though being 5 over 12 it is not too late to change our behaviour and to call a halt to the destructive power of man’s greed.

Source of Inspiration

Is the forest filled
with trees of danger and despair
or a haven of birds
unicorns and devas?

Cut down the forest
sell the wood to the devil
who feeds on our greed and fear.
Clear the underbrush
wherein lurks temptation
prepare the land for
sand dunes of ruin.

Once our lands
were filled with mighty
forests home to beast and beauty
now asphalt heats
boiling putrid waters filled
with industrial wastes
people drowning in chemicals
and death, dwindling to a
trickle of despair.

Is it too late to change
how the story ends?
Too late to fill the land
with joyous song again?
No, but we must act now
to stop this tale of greed.
We must stand together
say, “no more!” then
act swiftly to save humanity.

What We Want or Need?

Often we want things we not really need. Regularly we are caught in the trap of our wants, getting frustrated not finding what we hoped for.

Source of Inspiration

We know what we want
but only God knows what
we need.
Pray to give thanks
not to ask.
No ulterior motives.

Both armies pray
to win the war.
Take yourself
out of your prayers.
Seek only to learn to love,
to be in the presence
of God.

Our selfishness
is a trap.
Pray only for the
good of all
ending all prayer with
“Thy will be done.”

Luxury

In the Holiday time we may think of all those travelling in a world of fantasy and magic, but we must also remember those who can only have such travels in their dreams and imagination.
In this world full of contrast we can find many who are not aware of what a luxury they really have. They are blinded by all the material stuff around them and do not see the real richness of life, what it has to offer and where it can bring us.
Many of them, find their death still frustrated they could not have this or that. they assembled so much only for themselves, so that they could not see others around them. They have forgotten they can not do anything with all that material stuff when they die, and how there are much more important matters in life to give a better life money cannot buy.
Those who seem poor perhaps are much richer in spirit and shall find a better and endless life in the future. Bless their souls.

  You have no idea how long you are going to be on this planet. You might think you can make a reasonable estimate based on your current health status and your age.

  As women, we love to shop for shoes, clothing, and make-up, not to mention the latest trend….hair!

A spirit that is dying is usually depressed, angry, sinful, unsatisfied, unashamed (of their actions or words) and without restraint.

  St Gregory the Great identified the capital sins as superbia (pride), invidia (envy), ira (anger), avaritia (avarice), tristia (sadness), gula (gluttony), and luxuria (disordered desire or lust). Over time tristia was replaced by otiositas or dēsidia (sloth, indolence). In Dante’s Divine Comedy, for example, sloth is described as tepid love, the failure to love God with all of one’s being (lento amore).

  I believe that this need for stability, security and comfort is largely down to social conditioning and the culture of fear that it arises from.

  If Europe loses the Judaeo-Christian heritage that gave it its historic identity and its greatest achievements in literature, art, music, education, politics, and as we will see, economics, it will lose its identity and its greatness, not immediately, but before this century reaches its end.

  When a civilisation loses its faith, it loses its future. When it recovers its faith, it recovers its future. For the sake of our children, and their children not yet born, we – Jews and Christians, side-by-side – must renew our faith and its prophetic voice. We must help Europe recover its soul.

• Self-made or Self-lost (bygstyck30.wordpress.com)
  A man who lives in a shack, which he built with his own hands, working the streets by the sweat of his brow collecting cans has gained the whole world in his pride of proficiency, however the man who is a lawyer, bilking the poor by the necessity of his knowledge in a corrupt system and world, has done the same things. The houses they live in are different, the amount of wages are contrastive expressed in the variance between one who rides a bike and the other who drives a BMW, yet the worldly gain that they have set over the virtue of growing one’s spirit is the gain of their world and the prescribed loss of the soul.
• On Selfishness and Stuff (gardenvarietyneurosisredux.com)
  There is a virtue to being selfish. I think there is a certain amount of soul-care that everyone needs, and it requires that we engage in a certain amount of selfish thinking and activity in order to provide our souls with the nourishment they need. I think it’s fairly easy to fall into a pattern of being so completely unselfish with our time that we neglect the vital work of soul-care, just as it is easy to fall into such a pattern of selfishness that we neglect everyone else. There is a need for balance.

  God speaks through dreams, but not every dream. Actually the thing I think He does the most beautifully for us while we sleep is simply to press the “Reset” button to our spirits. But only an awakened heart can see that.

  Maybe it’s time to re-think your ambition or your loneliness. Maybe it’s time to re-examine that restless feeling that nags you, and this time use a little discernment.  Maybe what you’re restless for, lonely for, or ambitious for is God. Awakened hearts can discern that.
• The Dark Sides of Thing-driven Life, By Omozuwa Gabriel Osamwonyi (@omozuwaspeaks) (naijaobserver.wordpress.com)
  The ongoing effort by some religious leaders to idealise the opulent lifestyle has done society more harm than good. It indicates a failure to appreciate the fact that idealism and materialism hardly coexist. Anyone engaged in the single-minded pursuit of material prosperity can hardly live by high ideals. Where materialism rules, awe-inspiring pietism is bound to be sacrificed on the altar of hedonism. The core values of Good Samaritans will be thrown into the bin of exploitative capitalism, and hawk-like dispositions will be Christianised.

Ocean liner sails the seas
people wallowing in luxury
while others are dying
of hunger and war
still others are buying
more and more

There’s great wealth
to be had
but its not shared
and that is sad

There is a simple solution, folks.
If you have more than you need,
share it with others!
