The Wayshower

What is a Wayshower?

Self Portrait ~ David Whyte:

It doesn't interest me if there is one God
Or many gods.
I want to know if you belong -- or feel abandoned;
If you know despair
Or can see it in others.
I want to know
If you are prepared to live in the world
With its harsh need to change you;
If you can look back with firm eyes
Saying "this is where I stand."
I want to know if you know how to melt
Into that fierce heat of living
Falling toward the center of your longing.
I want to know if you are willing
To live day by day
With the consequence of love
And the bitter unwanted passion
Of your sure defeat.
I have been told
In that fierce embrace
Even the gods
Speak of God.

The Only Message There Is
 
This is what I have come to tell you, once more, through the messengers of today. You will know them as My messengers because they will all be bringing the same message:

We Are All One.

This is the only message that matters. It is the only message there is. Everything else in Life is a reflection of this message. Everything else sends it.

"Dwell on your Dreams"....

Rilke:

I love the dark hours of my being.

My mind deepens into them.

There I can find, as in old letters,

the days of my life, already lived,

and held like a legend, and understood.



Then the knowing comes: I can open

to another life that's wide and timeless.

So I am sometimes like a tree

rustling over a gravesite

and making real the dream

of the one its living roots

embrace:

a dream once lost

among sorrows and songs.

Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God.

Wild Geese ~ Mary Oliver:

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting-
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

The Journey ~ Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice-
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations, though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen branches and stones.
but little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do-
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Practice Seeing (Part 2)
 
Just see yourself there. Don't ask yourself what you are doing there or how you got there or how it's possible for you to be there, just see your Self there. Call yourself that. Do not say, "There, but for the grace of God, go I." Rather, say, "There, because of the grace of God, I go."

"There I go again, being a street person without money. There I go again, being a flower in that field. There I go again, being a domineering spouse. There I go again, being a dictator in a foreign land oppressing my people. There I go ahead, being that blade of grass."

Just see yourself everywhere. And smile when you see yourself there, knowing that you are there, and that what is there is in you.

Tomorrow's God

Live Joyfully
by Peace Mother Geeta Sacred Song

Live life joy-fully,
live life in a Victory-us way.

Respect yourself, others and Divine Mother's Creation.

Pray, sing, dance, love, laugh, meditate, make sacred sounds, and offer it all to the Universal harmony by donating all your beauty-full actions and thoughts to humanity.
Remember who gave you this life force
and praise that Benevolent Force each day.

Honour those Compassionate Celestial and Earth Forces that assist you in your walkabout here on the Radiant Flowering Earth
by feeding them with your sacred offerings each day.

Choose to be happy,
choose to be a Positive Force for all of humanity.

Choose to be the brightest, most steady light
and shine that light for all of Divine Mother's Creation,
illuminating the path for humanity.

Choose to reach your Highest Destiny with each breath,
with each moment, with each step.

Walk the BIG Walk,
Dream the BIG Dream,
sing the BIG Song,
Pray the BIG prayer,
carry the BIG Faith
and radiate the BIG LOVE to the ends of all Universes,
to the ends of all Galaxies....

Be the living, breathing, Flame of Peace.
Direct this Peace into everything and everyone around you.
