Mystic Meandering: A Heart Wish for the New Year...

A Heart Wish for the New Year...

May our hearts always be open
to hear
The Rhythm of Life’s Song.

May we see life through the eyes of wonder and curiosity…
May we dance with life intimately and creatively…
May we inspire each other to remember who we are in the core of our Being…
May we find contentment in just being who we are…
May we give voice to the song in our Hearts authentically…

And may we always
leave Love
in our wake…

~♥~

This amazing photo was captured after our neighbor’s daughter
pulled away from the curb in front of her house and made a turn in the street -
leaving behind these 2 hearts…

I just *happened* to look out our living room window
and saw them. I grabbed the camera and ran upstairs
to get a better shot – just before they evaporated into the air…

I am grateful for all the traces of love that you all have left here…

♥

Blessings of Love to you all in the New Year!

I was looking at that photo wondering how did you ever find that! Glad you told us. Now you're eyes have to be open to find such treasures!

Yes to openness, and wonder and curiosity and to being content with who we are. Such wonderful aspirations for this new year ahead. Blessings to you and much appreciation for all that you share with us here.

ZDS ~ Thank you for your kind words of appreciation... It's been a pleasure to have you riding along on the wave of life here :)

Isn't that photo amazing! Blew me away - and the fact that I would just happen to look out the window while it was still on the street... You never know where the Heart will reveal Itself :)

Lynne ~ Thank you. I know! It was incredible to see them there on the street, and then poof, gone. Admittedly it gave me a little heart boost of encouragement for "things to come." :)

LOVE to you, Christine! :o) Right now I'm dwelling, and to quote Emily Dickinson,”dwell in possibility”… I love this time in Januray to dwell in possibility. I’ve been journalling a lot about what to focus on in 2012. Magic and Heart Work will be featuring big while exploring new horizons in painting & other art. Looking forward to sharing another spirit-filled year with you, Christine. Great to be back in blogland after two weeks away for Christmas in the USA, and catch up with you here now. Wishing you all the very best in 2012–-PEACE, LOVE & JOY! ((HUGS))

I am simply following the
pathless path of the Heart
in the every-day-ness of life,
exploring "The Ineffable
Mystery" of Life.

I do not define myself by any
particular path or religion -
as Life ItSelf is the ever
unfolding Mystery, and an
ever deepening discovery of
the many expressions of
The Infinite, expressing ItSelf
as all Life.

I write about and post what
inspires me, and what I am
passionate about: exploring
the Mystery of Being and The
Truth of Existence.

Writings here include:
prose poetry and anecdotal
meanderings. I also dabble

in photography and art, which

accompany my postings.

You will also find a variety
of other people's writings here
based on what speaks to me and
inspires me, depending on where
I am on this journey called "life."

If something that I have written
touches your Heart, and you wish
to share it, you may for your
personal use only, such as your
blog or other social media forums
with appropriate credit given to:

Mystic Meandering, and a link

back to this blog.

HOWEVER, writings, poetry,
photos and art may not be used
for commercial financial gain.

I would love to hear from you

if you want to use something here.

to ask me anything about what I
write here...

Return To Stillness

Return to the consciousness
of Stillness that speaks through
the Heart from the in-between
spaces in the Celestial Ocean
of Creation...

Stillness expresses through
vibration, through resonance,
in and through the inner Heart
~ the Inner Being...

Quiet the mind and the heart
of thoughts, of emotions, of pain,
of struggle, and just listen...

Reach deeply into the
Stillness of pre-creation
~ the Primordial Space ~
and allow it to permeate you,
to thrive in you...

Be at one with Stillness,
with Sacred Silence,
where the seeds of luminescent
Love form and expand,
through ripples of pure
Innocence, reverberating in a
pool of Stillness...

Allow Stillness to emerge from
Its place of solitude in the womb
of the Heart; from Its sanctuary
of wholeness, and give it voice...

Allow Stillness to be your Truth,
and Truth your Stillness...

October 2001

The Whisper

The Rhythm of Sacred Silence calls
me back into ItSelf again and again...
It waits patiently while I move
through my stories ~
through my illusions ~
my contractions of fear ~
my brokenness...

The Rhythm invites me to dance ~
to sway to Its movement ~
to hear Its pulse ~ its silent

language, like a whisper in the

background of noise,

trying to get my attention.

I have to be still to hear
The Whisper speaking softly:
come, be with Me
come and be still,
come, listen, hear Me,
come, dance with Me,
come, be with Me,
come and be still...

I turn my attention to listen
curiously, as if someone has
spoken just over my shoulder ~

barely audible...
I wait and listen - aware of a

subtle presence,

like butterfly wings.
The Rhythm rises - palpable.
It draws me to it...

I bow inwardly to The Whisper...
We embrace and dance in stillness
The sweet Rhythm of Love...

March 2009

Infinite Light

Just rest in the gaze of the Infinite
~ in the Infinite Light that
infuses and embraces all...

Just turn your gaze inward to
the Infinite Heart Presence
that lights you ~
that *is* you...

Feel this Presence of Love
gazing from within ~
Seeing what you see,
Hearing what you hear,
Feeling what you feel,
Experiencing what you
experience...

Feel its fluid vibrating pulse
running through your body...

Let this Light, this Love,
within you
live you...

It is anyway...

Just rest...

Sweet Serenity.

The Rhythm

I float on the swells of
the great Sea,
the vast, open Spaciousness;
out beyond the thought
stream of duality.
Just the deep calm of Isness
rising and falling in and endless
subtle rhythmic movement;
a stillness that ebbs and flows fluidly.

Here there is a gateway into Rest,
the Quietude, where everything
falls into "The Rhythm,"
into the deep calm of the One.

I allow myself to be taken by
"The Rhythm,"
the rising and falling of Stillness.
It's "The Rhythm" of the Formless
that holds me,
that sustains and supports me ~
that is me...

There is only "The Rhythm" in
everything, as everything ~
the expressions and experiences
of Life.

We breathe, and are breathed by
"The Rhythm."

August 2009

Let Go and LIVE

Let go.

Let it all go:
Hopes for the future.
Regret for the past.
Expectations for the present.

LIVE...

Embraced in the space of

Divine Emptiness,
resting at the still-point...

with no conceptual framework

for your life.
No scaffolding of thought or plan

to hold "you" together...

Dissolve in the great Ocean

of your Infinite Beingness...

LIVE...

without requiring life to be

different,

without wanting to change
what is to suit you...

LIVE...

Surrendered and emptied out
of the way your conditioned
mind tells you that life must be...

Let go of your attachment to
your inexhaustible patterns of fear
that keep you safe, but confined...

Let go into the Living Stream
that already carries you

LIVE...
