Each Spark of God ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ +*+*+*+*+*+ Within the essence of every being, There dwells a Spark of God. When fanned with love ~ it becomes the Flame That illumes Earth’s shadowed sod. Each Spark is part of this Luminescence, That is spreading around the world. Where once dwelled Dark ~ there now lives Light, As each lotus soul is unfurled. Earth is glowing as a beacon of God, That can be seen from stars in space. With love and peace and harmony, There is hope for the Human race. Within the essence of every being, There dwells a Spark of God. When fanned with love ~ it becomes the Flame That illumes Earth’s shadowed sod. +*+*+*+*+*+ |

Wow....smile. I know this one--in the original Hebrew too. I'd write it out, but I can't find a "yod" on this here keyboard. A potent prayer and blessing, beautifully translated into that which is more readily understood. Touche'. Oh wow. This --> (') is pretty close to a yod. But I'm rambling again... Much enjoyed Linda. Namaste'. <--wow. There it is again! |

Serene One ~ Namaste ~ The Divine in me, honours the Divine in you ~ as well! I am not familiar with the Hebrew prayer. Actually, I just looked out the window and asked the angels to assist me in writing a spiritual poem that would add some of God's Light to the world! ~ and voila! lol I truly appreciate your warm, wonderful, and enthusiastic reply! ~ and so do my angels! Love & God's Light, Linda |

You always seem to write something that I need to read at that very moment in time when I click on your poems..did that make sense? blah its almost 1 a.m. I stopped making sense when it hit midnight... If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

"Within the essence of every being, There dwells a Spark of God." This is the absolute truth, Linda, but I think that only when everyone can see the spark will there be ... peace on earth. Enjoyed your words this morning. |

The angel you saw out the window was your own refection... The illumination around it, your aura.....the source of that illumination was the fire (light) in your heart..it is an eternal flame. The poem is well lit... ___________ice ><> |

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this is sooooooo beautiful and I believe this with all my heart, dearest friend, as I have long believed we are all the sparrows of God and we all feed from His hands the meanings and virtues of hope, yay! (smiles) We all have this spark deep in the bottom of all our hearts, and in watering it with faith, we can make a cornucopia, an abudance of love and promise with this spark, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |
