Thank you Mysteria, You Inspire Me!


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Written for
~*~ Sunshine’s ~*~
Who Inspires You At Pipps Challenge?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Well...

I’ve learned from my inspiration
To simply live my life and “be”,
To enjoy my life with loving intent,
Great truths then do I see.

~*~

If sometimes my life seems complex,
It is only from lack of clarity,
I simply open my heart to love,
And this always removes disparity.

~*~

I am spiritual by nature,
My mind in tune, alert, awake,
I know of no favored religions,
Or organized groups I can forsake.

~*~

Spirituality does not limit,
By standard of any sect,
Mine leads to my awareness,
Where I alone can self-direct.

~*~

The source of my inspiration,
Is not just one person you can see,
My hopes, dreams and thoughts,
Come from the light inside of me!

~*~

I am my own spirit guide,
Doing for others more than they do for me,
I live my life in love, with pride,
So therefore my inspiration is ME!


A little note:
It was impossible to pick just one poet on Pipps that inspired me more than an other as each of my “favorites” is coming from a different place in their soul.  (It would have been trying to show a speck of pepper in a coal bin.)  So, I had to do a twist, and tell you that you are all wonderful and I enjoy every poem I read at Pipps.  I think you all get the "gold metal".

a bit of a twist, alrighty....when we can call on our own resources, and smile at the end of the day...

then truly, we are all inspirational, if only to ourselves...

but somehow, when we do just that? We've most likely shared it around.

A great response to the challenge! Well met!

Sunshine ~* Whew! That is a relief, as I could not pick just one single person that inspires me (maybe 4!), but not one.  Glad it worked.

Martie ~* I inspired you???  This I can't wait to see.  Thanks for reading this.

Watersign6 ~* If it is inspiration you want, you are sure in the right place, thanks for reading.

Bright Star ~* That is the nicest thing I have been told for some time - thanks.

Irish Rose ~* But thank you!  For you are an inspiration to me too.
