Moments and Choices (Today’s Poetry)

Every moment we have a choice as to what we are to think.

What we are to do, where we are to go.

These choices help to shape who we are and where end up,

In this moment, in the next, and off into the future.

This all sounds very simple but can be quite profound.

We are constantly creating, new lives and states of being.

In the Universe difficult things are done as if they are easy

In the world we worry about how things will get done

Do we fret, worry and force or do we allow?

Do we happily move on the signs that we are given?

In Universe we talk about the things we love

In the world we complain on how things need to change

In the Universe things continue to work out beautifully

In the world we wonder why they don’t work out

In the world we feel that we can never win

Who want’s to feel and think life that?

In the Universe we are on time and don’t have to rush

In the world we are late and always rushing

In the Universe we love and are always happy

In the world we are angry and clinch our fists

In the Universe we eat what makes us feel good

In the world we eat bad and hold our stomachs

In the Universe we meditate and embrace where we are

In the world we don’t and wish we were somewhere else

So Many Thoughts (today’s poetry)

brown field and blue sky

I had a dream that I was living on the run

We were ducking and hiding in an unsafe place

I woke up to find it was only a dream

I was happy not to be in that realm any more

I realized how much I take my good for granted

Do I have enough compassion for those who suffer?

I just want to be in Heaven and still serve the world

My ego based thoughts seemed so far away

Do I want to be in the world and build my business?

Should I leave social media and give up the music scene?

Are these things needed for Heaven here and now?

So many thoughts came up after my dream

Carrying water and chopping wood before enlightenment

After enlightenment I must still do the same

Dive back into my pursuits and run with the world

Stay meditated and grounded and be enriched by my dream

What If I Meditated All Day Long? (Today’s Poetry)

What if I meditated all day long?

As I think about it I can barely feel my body.

I am on this high because I know the answer.

As I think about it I am sure I have to try again.

Like a challenge from above inviting me.

As I reflect I re enter the secret world.

This wonderful place I have been to many times.

Where I once was on a high almost all the time.

It’s time to go back and live those magical dreams.

It seems like long ago but it was only just a day.

Back when I saw the rainbow and ran in that direction.

You can’t stop running when life gets in the way.

Meditate often

Be true to yourself

Follow your dreams

Keep looking for the wonder and don’t look back

“That Was God!” A Small Wedding Miracle For Me and My Beautiful Bride

clouds and blue sky

 

I just got married a few weeks ago.  It was a somewhat of a big wedding, and a big deal in my life.  By the way, this is not my first marriage.  As a matter of fact, it is not my second marriage.  This is my fourth marriage.  I have heard it said that the fourth is the charm! What? You haven’t heard that one? LOL.  Having said that, I must say that everyone says that Kelly and I seem to belong together.  They also talk about how we look at one another, and they rave about how wonderful she is.  People also tell me that I deserve to be happy, and I say, “perhaps I have truly figured it out now.” Let’s hope so lol.

The wedding was to be outside in the courtyard of the Baronette Hotel, and the reception to be in the ballroom connected.  The day was starting out cloudy with a slight chance of rain.  I soon found myself thinking about a story my grandmother told me years ago about a man who was reported to be not the nicest man in the world.

This man had done a lot of misdeeds, and his loving family worried about his fate in terms of God and Heaven.  On his dying bed he told his family that God told him that if it was a sunny day on the day of his death, that following day, that meant that he will be forgiven and make it to Heaven. That day was predicted to be a very stormy day, just like the previous day, and the family was quite sad.  But to everyone’s surprise, not only was the forecast wrong about the terrible storm expected, but it became the brightest sunny day.  My grandmother said, “That was God!”

I wondered if that would be the case with our wedding. Would God step in and make it a sunny day? It was gloomy that morning and I was hoping that there would not be rain on our outdoor wedding and our guests.  I thought about the story Gee Gee (my grandmother) told me about the dying man.  I thought to God and the Universe that it would be nice if it was sunny for our wedding.  Then I wondered if I was tripping and being superstitious, thinking that story was perhaps told to me way back then for my fourth wedding day experience.

When the wedding started and we were at the hotel in the courtyard, it was gloomy but at least it was not raining. But it looked like it would at any minute. I said to the minister who was marrying us “at least it is not raining.”  She said, “even if it does, we will continue the ceremony in the rain.”

As the ceremony began, I was thankful that the rain did seem to be holding off, though it was quite gloomy as I stood at the altar waiting on my beautiful bride. As Kelly walked out and began to come down the aisle, suddenly the sun came out shining down upon us.  I was surprised thinking ” Wow! God is with us.” Even more to my surprise, after the wedding, person after person talked about how the sun came out just as we stood together, They all said that it was God shinning on us. My good friend Kevin Ransome’s comment was the most memorable when I saw him the next day.  He talked about how gloomy it started out and how cold he was sitting in the courtyard. Kevin then said, “as soon as Kelly came out, the sun came out and started beaming! And I instantly got warm!”  Then he said, “That was God!” I thought to myself “I was not tripping at all. It happened just like in the story. That Was God!”

So many people told us what a great time and how much fun they had at our wedding and reception. Some said it was the best time they ever had at a wedding. Others thanked us for a great date night. Others said they were inspired by us, our love, and the love they felt in the place. Once again I am convinced all of that was God. Because these were all the things we had hoped for and more on our special day.

I apologize to anyone who wanted to be there that we could not invite. There were so many people I personally wanted to invite, and I kept being reminded by Kelly and the wedding planner that the venue only allowed for a certain amount of people. And I have a large family. To all our people who were there and were not there. We love you.

Latest Question For Craig…( “I have someone in my world I do not trust, What do I do?”)

Question:  I have someone in my world who I do not trust.  I am convinced more and more daily that they are trying to make moves against me.  Getting them out of my circle may be delicate because of how close they are and the harm that they may possibly cause to people I care for.  What do I do?

Craig’s Answer: I once had someone in my life similar to what you are describing.  They were being somewhat sneaky, pretending to by my friend but really trying to do things that would be potentially harmful to what I was responsible for  behind my back.  I meditated more and asked God and The Universe to take care of it.  To my surprise, within a super short period of time their world became rather challenging, and they were so preocupied with what was going on they could not even focus on the things they were working on that threatened my situation.  All was taken care of by God and the Universe.

Situations like this have happened at various times over the years with similar results.  Sometimes the Universe would totally handle the problem and other times I would be guided to act and see miraculous results. Sometimes the other party would completely change how they were acting.  Each time it was rather peaceful. I say step up your meditations and connection to your spirit and then trust in more guidance and protection.

I Am In My Positive Place. I Know This For Several Reasons.

I am sitting here in my positive place.  I know this for several reasons.  It just dawned on me that I hear the inner sound roaring.  The inner sound is the OM vibration.  When I hear it, I feel so good. The great masters will tell you that you can hear the Universal vibration when you are in touch.  I have found that you can hear it when you have somehow slipped into the eternal place.  During such times, all worries have gone. The outside world is not as important, and all of the sudden there is a ringing or humming in the silence.

I am sitting here in my positive place.  I know this for several reasons. While sitting here I can barely feel my body.  It’s like the rest of the world has gone away.  I was thinking about what it’s like being on the beam, while reading poetry and remembering beautiful times. And then, wow no more worries! I guess I got lost in the moment.  What can I say. I litterally feel like I am floating as I sit on my wonderful couch.

I am sitting here in my postitve place.  I know this for several reasons. I am  reading, writing, reflecting, with no thoughts of accomplishing, not knocking accomplishing, but right now there are no concerns. I feel like there is no other place, yet I am at peace with all places. How can this be? I feel like I am one with the grass, one with the trees, one with the meadow, and all will be ok.  There is no need to prove, no need to act, not in this moment, and it feels like forever. I am so alive, here in my thoughts, I can travel any place in my mind.  I feel so good.

I am sitting here in my positive place, realizing that soon I will have to physically leave where I am and get up.  My only thought is that I must take this place with me and carry it where ever I go.  I must walk in peace. I must walk in love. I must take more time to sit in silence and know all is well.

I Am Peace, I Am Positivity, I Am Love (Today’s Poetry)

sunrays through trees

 

I am peace. I am love. I am happiness.

I am fun. I am nurturing. I am kind.

I am giving. I am caring. I am sharing.

I am rich. I am dynamic. I am healthy.

I am one. I am here for you. I am discerning.

I am helping. I am doing my best. I am forgiving.

I am a safe place. I am nurturing. I am stillness.

I am funny. I am understanding. I am expressing.

I am getting better I am learning I am growing

I am strength. I am moving. I am stillness.

I am nobody. I am not Craig. I am humble.

I am peace. I am positivity. I am love.

It’s Been A While (Today’s Poetry)

clear blue shore

It’s been a while since I have written and I can feel the loss.

Now as I begin I am on my way back.

I can barely feel my body I am on the right track.

I feel like I am floating what a wonderful sign.

What can I say I am in the mythological zone!

The place where all things are magical it’s more than just words.

On this yellow brick road I can’t tell if I am breathing.

I remember I am one and all of the magic.

Being in your right place and contemplating the Universe,

Can bring you back to the field where you are truly at one.

Slipping into the world beyond time and space.

It happens in meditation and when writing these words.

P.S. Take time to meditate and express who you are.  It refreshes the soul and prepares you for more productive living.

 

Seeking Out My People, The Ones Who Help Me Shine (Today’s Poetry)

silhouette photography of group of people jumping during golden time

Time to seek out my people.

Those who think and move like me.

These are the ones who help me shine.

And remind me who I really am.

Sometimes we find ourselves in the realm.

Of those who are not best for us.

This is not a slight on them.

We must be with those who travel our way.

The way to where we want to be.

The way to who we really are.

The way to the land where we belong.

When we stick with these souls we are free.
