If You Want To (Today’s Poetry)

Posted on by

If you want to be a painter, paint

If you want to be a dancer, dance

If you want to be a singer, sing

If you want to be a writer, write.

If you want to be a teacher, teach

If you want to be a giver, give

If you want to be a an artist, create

If you want to be an architect, draw

If you want to be a business person, do business

If you want to be happy, Be happy

If you want to be peaceful, be at peace

If you want to be a lover, give love

If you want to be a great meditation teacher, meditate often, Teach meditation. hang out with great meditation teachers. Read books by great yogis, masters and sages. Be peaceful. Be happy. Keep your mind on the higher things.  Remind yourself of who you are and what it is that you have to do. Do it your way. Have fun in the process. Think about it. Speak about it. Write about it.  Prove that it works in your life and inspire others to do the same.

If you want to be a painter, paint.

My Wonderful Journey (today’s poetry)

Posted on by

And then I saw how the people in my life were gifts, given to me to help shape who I am and who I am becoming.

My grandmother, my grandfather, my family and friends up until this point, had all been gifts.

As I saw this in my mind, there was a beautiful golden rain falling, like a sign telling me these people and times were truly special.

And all the answers were surprisingly being revealed right in the midst of all this beauty.  “And I too am a gift” is what I was told.

And I knew right then with everything in me that my entire life has been magical.

Then a new screen saver pops up on my computer that I had never seen before, reminding me of a great movement on the horizon.

And once again I knew what to do with the rest of my life, as I was taken back to a vision I had years ago.

And even as I write my accounts I remind myself “don’t worry about what anyone thinks just write. So I do.

And then I think back to the page I had just opened up to in my journal, telling me more of who I am and the life I am to live.

And I remember the question I asked just before going within

“What am I going to do with the rest of my life?”

And I am thankful for my wonderful journey.
