Can I touch with love All that I have closed my heart to, And share honestly with you The true gift of myself? YES! I can meet the world With an open heart And receive all the blessings Of this abundant universe With gentle and sensitive hands. I can look at the world Through the eyes of compassion And, of LOVE. Each of us has a spirit in us--- Sometimes hidden, Sometimes---more available. But this light, This generosity, And this peace Are our greatest gifts to the earth. We share in the beauty of life And in the ocean of tears. The sorrow of life Is part of each of our hearts And part of what connects us with one another., We speak and touch one another As a reflection of our deepest understanding. We discover that our breath, Our body, and human limitations Are a part of the divine. Spirituality---- Is based simply on the capacity TO LET GO. And to love. To open the heart to all that is. The most special gift You could ever give or receive Is the gift of oneself, Every person, Every situation we encounter May hold some teaching, Some guidance. And may become A doorway to our awakening. Accepting one another's gift of self As a treasure Can bring us Out of the darkness And into the light, Out of our loneliness And into love. Out of our partial living Into the fullness of life. There are times when we unexpectedly Experience a moment of mutual love and care So sweet and so powerful That it takes our breath away. I have experienced this moment Along my spiritual path. I have come to realize how Beautiful, and special, and unique Each person is. And how God's grace Flows into this world Through the channel of our love. My journey has been a slow and gradual process But I am now ready to accept All the joy and prosperity Life has to offer me. Emotional scars will always remain, But I see now-------- That they are the badges of a SURVIVOR. They remind me of my pain, yet ----- They also remind me That I have lived through it. Through forgiveness--- I release the pain And accept the change. I see the world with a joyful heart Which enables me to Love myself, to love others and to love God. I now see life as a gift to be opened Rather than a problem to be solved. |

Thank you for your response, I had to laugh at the wisdom of the ages line. I am 30 years old but 90% of people say I still look 18. I don't know if that is a compliment or an insult. LOL. Anyway, thank you for your reply. It has been a very long and painful path...but....I MADE IT. |
