Moments of Awareness (MoA) Collection

Life’s "mystery" always remained just that ...
… a mystery to me
… until I no longer was standing in front of the curtain
… and moved to the other side.

And I ask myself ...

Where am I going?

What am I doing?

Why am I alive?

Is there purpose or meaning?

Tell me ... Please.

And then the day ends ...
... and soon after, another day begins.

And then, I ask myself ... once more.

I was recently asked ...
"How would you describe your personal transition ...
... to the new dimension of life you are now living?"

I thought for a moment and replied ...
"It was something like that of a butterfly ...
... transforming from a body with a Soul
... and becoming a Soul with a body."

And now you know too.

For me, the path to Peace, Joy, and Love in my daily life ...
... is when I'm feeling Gratitude in my Heart Center.

And as I genuinely share this practice of Gratitude ...
... with all those that come into my life each day
... I am nourished with purpose.

And then to have others in my life ...
... who are also fulfilled by sharing their Gratitude
... adds to my SilentKnowing
... that all is well ... with purpose.

I am giving up the power that fear has over me ...
... on the important choices I make in life.

I am replacing this fear ...
... with the understanding of trust
... the wisdom of acceptance
... and the feeling of peace.

Always in gratitude.
Always in love.

May I find the courage to be all I can be ...
... starting in this very moment
... right here and right now.

And not only with courageous intentions ...
... but more importantly
... with courageous actions to match.

And it may not be easy ...
... the Practice of Courage.

Most of my life I’ve been searching for Me.
Who I was … what I was … why I was.

So many times I thought I found Me.
But I never did.

At times I felt hopeless … like an endless wanderer of life.
And so I finally stopped searching.

The years passed by … and so did my life.
Then for no reason at all … I heard a knocking at my door.

I open the door and there he was, the person I least expected.
But immediately knew who he was.

I smiled and welcomed him in … along with a comforting SilentKnowing.
You see ... that person was Me.

Today, I realized ...
... with all that I know ...
... and all that I've learned ...
... and all that I have experienced ...
... I know nothing about what's truly important ...
... important in living life in Harmony with my surroundings.

For this is the dimension my life's journey has now brought me to ...
... a dimension somewhere over the rainbow.

And now that I've arrived ...
... I choose to begin "The Ultimate Journey" ...
... the Journey of LovingKindness with ... and for All ...
... the Journey of living life in Oneness, Harmony and Peace.

Dear Friend ... I was just wondering how many of us can say ...

"MyGod is with me ...
... when I awake
... during the day
... and when I sleep."

And for some, there is a nourishing practice ...
... a practice of sharing with TheirGod
... an appreciation for their unique connection
... as this connection soothes the HeartCenter with SilentKnowing.

And for some, when connecting with TheirGod ...
... it tunes their energy frequencies of
... Peace ... and Joy ... and Love.

And most importantly and integral ...
... at being in tune with the energy frequency of
... Oneness.

How could I share love with someone ...
... if I didn't love myself?

And how could I love myself ...
... if I didn't know who I was.

Well, the time finally arrived when ...
... I stopped searching for "the-who" that I might be ...
... and accepted "the-who" that I was in that very moment ...
... and began to love myself with a SilentKnowing.

I used to think I would liked to have experienced ...
... more adventures during my life journey.

But now looking back on it all ...
... am well aware I had gone well beyond my actual inherent abilities
... which over the years, provided me an on again/off again euphoric rush.

And now I accept the true reality of my life ...
... that I am but a simple human-being
... who has grown to appreciate God's simple offerings.

"As it has been concealed ... so it has now been revealed." - Zohar

And now I smile with gratitude from my HeartCenter and say, "Baruch Hashem".

It takes courage to Surrender.
But perhaps the courage comes from discovering the answers to ...
- Surrender What?
- Who surrenders? ... EGOCenter?
- What is it that EGOCenter would surrender? ... Its controlling ways?
- Who does EGOCenter surrender to? ... To the Godsoul?
- What must EGOCenter do? ... Alter old patterns and habits?
- Why Surrender? So the Godsoul can guide both EGOCenter ...
... and HeartCenter to dance in harmony?

Purpose? To broaden connectivity with GlobalConciousness ...
... and to embrace and nourish peace in the world you live.

Have you ever prayed for a "Sign" ... "Give me a Sign Lord ... any kind of Sign."

But the Sign never comes.

Is it possible that just maybe a Sign did come ...

... and perhaps you just did not recognize it ...

.. because it was a Sign to something else entirely different.

I know if every day I can "Do My Best", (and my best may change from day to day)...

... and by not allowing the craziness of the world to tarnish my HeartCenter ...

... then I have the opportunity to feel the comforting Oneness with the "SourceGod" of us all.

LEARN life's lessons and explore God's ways.

LIVE the lessons and discover meaning in God's ways.

BECOME the lessons and awaken to God's ways.

... Becoming One with God

If I should be judged on my day of "passing" ...
What would I like it to be based on?

Perhaps on what I did and accomplished in my life?
... or perhaps on the wisdom I gained during my many life journeys?
... or maybe even the person ... "the-who" I became?
... or something entirely different?

Which one would I choose?
Which one?

I choose all of the above please ...
... on that day of passing.

I think Barbra Streisand said it best ... "Memories ... like the corners of our mind."

From what I know we all experience wonderful dreams ...
... dreams of the beautiful times from our past ...
... some real and some imaginary ... I know I certainly do.

Dreams as only we can remember them ...
... times gone by that we wish would last and last.

Yet sooner or later we all must open our eyes ... and face the reality ...
... "That was then ... and this is now."

And always remember to be grateful for all those memories ...
... memories that still come to us when we call to them ...
... of what we once experienced ... of what was once ours.

And smile from the inside out ... and say out loud ...
... "Thank You Universe ... Thank You".

And get ready for tomorrow ...
... or soon it will be today.

... sometimes i feel invisible
... no one sees me ...
... no one hears me ...

... yet here i am when someone needs me ...
... "how can i help" i ask them ... and then I do ...

... only to return to being invisible once more ...

One of the most precious things in life ... is a friend.

And just as each of the petals of this rose ...
... together make it the beautiful flower that it has become …

So too, do the wonderful qualities and virtues of who you are ...
... together make you a beautiful friend.

Love … have you no beginning? Love … have you no end?
So many have known you ... yet there are so many hearts left to mend.

Some have known you many times ... while others but once.
To some, you are hard to find ... while to others you are in abundance.

I always wanted Love as my friend ... I thought of it that way.
To have Love as my friend ... and be happy every day.

It’s taken me such a long time to realize why this had not come true.
Because I found Love needed me as a friend ... I found Love needs friends too.

It's not the beauty of her face my friend ...

Nor the beauty of her eyes.

But the beauty of her soul my friend ...

That makes a woman wise.

Memories … what are they made of? ...
... Dreams of the past
... those thoughts in my mind
... that just seem to last and last.

Precious moments I will never have again ...
... those precious moments
... when you and I were friends.

The times we were together ...
... it's all now but a dream
... as I wake up each morning to an empty room
... filled with memories of you ...
... and filtering rays of Sunbeams.
