We live in the light of great love

When love draws near
to our longing hearts
it is the spirit that touches us…
that permeates our being…

there is nowhere
the light of the Spirit
can not go….
in love….
with love…..
we mingle with Spirit
in a way
that cannot be separated…
or restrained…

There is great peace
in this awareness
given through the mystery
of the alchemy
of great and powerful love…

we love…
we are love
my dear friends…
because we open our hearts
and love makes us so…

Receive the Love
for the gold
is in the Light
within us….
this is the treasure
that we are blessed to feel……
to be and to live

the light of the sun
and the moon
the stars
and the light in our eyes
shine with the Light
that moves and spirals
through us eternally….

it is alive
with Divine Belovedness…
that is both human
and divine
in our incarnation
in this ever moving spirit
stirring within
with great creative power
and incredible gentleness

through presence
with infinite tenderness
we are transformed by this
and changed
into love

Seeds of Love

Particles of the invisible
carried on the wind
infused with potential
to become
infinity flowers
spring showers

grains that flourish
and yield
a golden field

peering into the sea of light
we search for love
seeking a mountain peak
to reach
and try
to touch the sky
with a lover’s gaze
that clears the haze
and casts a light
igniting the night
with lengthening rays
that raise our vision
a cosmic collision
with gentle
insight
of invisible flight
like a rising
wave of revelation

yet there are wings
so delicate and sheer
as not to be seen
lifting us mysteriously
into freedom
to soar within
while riding the currents
of breath and air
guiding
us into the warmth
of majestic arms

a thousand voices will tell you
a thousand different stories
some witnessing to fire
and stinging thoughts
still clinging
to them
like thistles

some will guilt and blame you
for falling into shame

and some will claim
to be elected to the chosen few
the chosen ones who know
what is really true

but your truth has been hidden
in your heart
long ago
and only love
will create the flow
that illuminates
the glow of truth
within

the beauty of the kingdom
of the Beloved
that will open every door
may well come
through the homeless
and the poor
for the destitute
sometimes find clarity
through a charity
that flows in the soul

making us uneasy
with having so much

joy comes softly
in the glow of morning
a remembrance
of the glory of love
a thrilling story
that writes itself upon
our hearts

the garden of eden
our paradise
thrives in a secret place
beyond beautiful eyes
secretly planted
and granted in the long ago

we evolve into beings
of light
formed from seeds
of belovedness

find that secret place
within you
and the grace of love
will appear
in your own
dearest heart

the pulsing beat
whispers of the wonders
yet to come

Secrets of the sky

Took a walk today
and encountered the moon
still in the sky
with the sun

she seemed to be having fun
lingering near
the source
of the light of day

a quiet moon
transparent and still
yielding the glory
to a sizzling solar flare
melting the story
of sundials
and tv shows

tossing its curling rays
like hair in the wind
calling us
to come outside
and play a while

a smile spread across
the face of the moon
now barely seen
behind the dazzling mane
of the sun
the very one
who lights
up her eyes at night

a stolen moment
with the monarch of the sky
a blink and a wink
as the lunar eye
whispered goodbye
and vanished from sight

until the bewitching hour
when she would flower
in the warming rays
from the simmering heat
of his distant fire

she left the king to reign
over the sky
as the queen quietly
found her place
behind a cloud

stirring the tides
to brew
the wine of love
for the fleeting moment
of their nightly
meeting

when that midnight gaze
would clear the haze
and light her face
with royal grace
that sets the world aglow

Entering a divine dimension

I know to write of this
is to walk
on sacred ground
and still
I feel compelled
to enter
a divine dimension
in this early morning hour

I know it is humanly
presumptuous
and may fall far short
of expressing
the true heart message
I wish to share
but a voice beyond my own
calls it forth

You alone can feel
within
your own heart
whether this song
of the soul
has meaning
for you or not

I could name
a thousand names
but they would not help
your heart
to open to feel
the streaming light
of the creative power
of divine love
pouring forth
within you

A light comes on
to guide
the way when
love comes near
to listen

Only you know
how it comes when
it happens

Others tell the story
of their journey
to the light
and none of us are here
to tell them
what not to feel

a unique fragrance
brings
a whispering
remembrance
to your senses

Love opens your eyes
to beauty
you might never have seen
without the gaze
of the divine
to light your way

Keep watch
and be faithful
to the vigil
of the creative light
of love
as it comes to you

It is the key
to the unity
of life
and the oneness
of both human and divine

A Light no cage can hold

by Manoj Juneja….
The Cage……

bird so vast and free
sighted a cage ~ beautiful…
it sat on a branch and watched
wondered in awe
it got amazed, dazed ~ of creation…

it took flight closer to look …
the cage had inscribed on…
a thought and mind can create me
a wish can adorn me
all you need to do is dream within me…

only death can do us part
for only it will be me who will die
then ~ a part of me will you carry ~ ever
in thoughts you will be in chains of creations
for then in emotions you will play
pains and joy ~ tears and smile

a seesaw of conditions will live in you
thirst, and hunger in every aspect
will be your guide to thunder,lightning
only to destroy me through wrinkling age
for you will not know any more yourself
but only me will you think you are

struggle will be your path with
soothing light and breeze which will get you
a feel of freedom
which can pass through me…
this will further entice you to ego me
senses will be served in delight spa
pampered to hilt and teased with robbing all

once you enter at your own risk know well
you will be free to leave for there is no door
to get in or get out ~ just breathe a wish
and all will be done…
that breath be so pure to reach yourself
without likes ~ dislikes…

reading this the bird took the breath in….
Forgot breathing out….still in the cage
at times shudders for the breath pure……
~ within it knows the Truth so bright….
in silence to dive to breathe it all out
to be Self ~ Vast and free….
by Knowing Self ~ Love Divine…

~~~ Part of ‘Flow’ through Manoj Juneja ~~~

Manoj shared this on Facebook…and I wanted to share it with you….

our eyes shall see as one

When I opened my eyes
to the light of heaven…
a clarity of vision
allowed me to see
through the sun…

for through the fire…
I could see
the open sky…

the sun
became a ring of fire…
an eye which is
a purifier…

the single eye
shall be filled
with light…

for with the eye of fire…
all is burned away
to behold
through
an inner light

We dance with the light….
in a thousand ways
until… ultimately…
a nameless inner sun
centers itself
in our hearts and souls….
a beacon of vision
guiding us home

The impossible dream is REAL

Great Love…….Divine Love……..Immortal love …….Infinite Love…..is elusive…and intangible….a beauty that hovers near…ever moving beyond our reach….a symbol of Presence that illumines the moment….enlivens…beckons….draws us toward the unreachable….like the Source of Purity….the unfolding beauty of a mirage……..wafting…lilting….sweet scent…..shimmering light…….the burning bush……the fire that melts….shimmers just beyond us….attracting….drawing out love that empowers..overpowers…love that creates and destroys magnificently…sublime volcano thunderheads..winds that destroy a city….move an ocean…..write with light across the sky……
the risen Christ….said….do not touch me….i have not yet ascended

God said we would see where He moves and where He has been…..beauty that tantalizes….attracts and beckons……entices…..enchants……a rarity….impossible beauty…..we cannot face it…..or hold it……….only endure its wake….leaving tokens of a divine essence that cannot reveal a full magnificence that would shrivel us to dust again …….cannot draw too close………. incites us to love….not consume…..not own….not cling….not hold on….but let grandeur exist that cannot be contained…….. exquisite SILENCE…..allows us to dwell in deep silence ….we are held in Holy Light………Holy Ghost…….Holy Spirit……….an enveloping Love that breathes us……unseen….uncreated….a becoming…..such a glorious obsession………such divine sighing and moaning….prolonged suffering agony and ecstasy elevates and inflates….expands……and hovers near death……..and rises again….lives a thousand lives……beneath a thousand suns……from beginning to beginning to beginning…….no endings in divine love and purity…..only the eternal moment …..triune….fullness….

How do we love such a God…..such a Creator……..such infinitely expanding existence .wildly….bewilderingly….insanely………………….ultimately in silence….dissolving into SILENCE that loves and embraces…. ALL that is….emerging in the eternal moment…..as EVERYTHING…….and still…..the Source sits just beyond our vision…smiling……….with a gaze that loves us eternally……showing us how to live forever……

There is an infinite Silence within us that surrenders to what cannot be understood….cannot be held….but sees and feels the reality….the truth of Oneness where every particle…..every breath is part of a WHOLENESS….that is OPEN to what is being created….NOW…the scent of what will be created….that which grants us ETERNAL life……

EXQUISITE ……..elusive beauty….the purity of a rising essence…………an eternal dawn………..something entices me into non-existence to link with A CREATOR….ethereal strands of Spiritual BEAUTY………woven by longing…….by faith……..by SILENCE………SILENCE THAT IS ALIVE…….tender and life-giving………a BREATH that breathes a thousand universes into BEING………in a GAZE OF ONENESS

MOTHER OF SILENCE……….MOTHER OF SONG……………MOTHER OF MUSIC………MOTHER OF BREATH…..forever giving birth…………to LIFE……to LIGHT……..to LOVE…………..sweet HEAVENLY particles…………of WONDROUS LOVE

Such a destiny………such a fortune………such infinite belovedness……………….

Who are you?

What do we know of each other?
What does the piercing gaze
of love
see within us?

One of the most profound experiences
I have had in my life
was caught in the transition
when night turns into dawn
a moment of awakening
between worlds

I was whispering
to the Spirit
in an interior way
and Jesus appeared before me
transparent
and I could feel him
communing
with my thoughts

I fell silent
and absorbed the moment
of presence
and being seen
in a way I had never
known before

He was wearing the crown of thorns
and the thorns
were piercing his skin
and the blood was still wet
forming drops
on his forehead

I asked him if I could touch it
and he nodded
so I reached up
and felt the warm blood
and asked him
if he was in pain

He said
not any more
and kept gazing at me
I dared to ask
if there was a way
I could look through his eyes
to see what he was seeing

He smiled and told me
to step inside his form
and look through his eyes

As I did…I felt a slight
movement of air
turned and looked
out from inside of Jesus

I will never be able
to describe
the beauty of his seeing
what it is to look through
the eyes of love

He had died to seeing as
the human Jesus
and was now seeing as
the Spirit of Christ
through the Spirit
of Divine Light

it was a ray of light
like a beacon
or a searchlight
entering
into the soul
shimmering with insight
and the pure clarity
of dawn

there was nothing
that this divine gaze
did not know
about me
or could not see
within me

Imagine being seen like that
every moment of your life
and to be loved
unconditionally beyond
our weaknesses
and our limitations
and mistakes

Just try to imagine
that kind of love

Oh never wonder
what redeeming love
truly is

or what we can give back
for such redemption

the least we can do
is live the truth
flowing through the heart
and soul
we are given

to draw on the grace
to care and respond
to this amazing life
and to realize what it is
to be created
and so loved

Share the beauty
however you can
ever renewing
and drawing deeply
from the well
of infinite creativity
out of which we came

We are seen as new
in every moment
this is the transforming
alchemy of love

Every moment
is a new beginning
to be seen through the eyes
of perfect love
and to dwell
in the Soul of peace

Essence of light of spirit arising

Sacred event
of the opening
of the petals to allow
the essence of spirit
to arise
in an unnamed place

the softness of the light
allows us to gaze
at its transparency
the translucent glow
as it rises into
the atmosphere
symbol of purity
and grace

Deeply moved
by this rare event
by the gentleness
and beauty
that stirs my soul
