"Turning To The Light"
Photography by Morning Star |
Lift Your EyesLift your eyes unto the light
and let their blue tincture touch the sun. Lift your heart into love where your soul sings, and swirls where rainbows abound, to then nestle in the deep richness that is known in peace within the feathered heart of the Divine. Open your hands, there cupped, to open to receive the blossoms of Our blessing the blessing of Our love. |
The Holy IsleA holy Isle,
a sacred place, with a nestle of fine trees, that stand aloft, the heavens to see, with the backdrop of billowing clouds. A sacred path upon the rim leads to this Isle of grace; the surrounding terrain, hidden in mist, is a sea from which the Isle protrudes. This holy place, where all is quiet, is a sanctuary for souls who wish to look only to the stars and lay on grasses underfoot, and sing to the tree's perfect sway and whisper to the breeze. And when each journey has ended here such souls take rest with lofty guardians all around to share with, talk to, and confess. When summer comes the vale below —covered with wild flowers and seeds-- will bear the fruit of nature's song so rooted to bequeath unto the Isle, this beauty to see, and give to the Isle such praise, for all it has given as it takes watch over each track and winding trail, that each soul may take therein to pass unto this fair realm of this sacred place, the Holy Isle, where peace is found at last. |

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
Art by Morning Star |
The FlowerLittle flower with tender petals opening towards the morning light, where any clouds pass in their transience because you know they are not true. It is only to the light, to love, that your face now turns and that light warms you and casts rainbows around you, that enfold you as Our tender arms also do. You are free to exist in the simplicity of this, of this love, as you are beheld by Our Sun that is always shining down upon you so brightly. |
Through Each BreathIt is through each breath
and moment's choices that sails are opened and caught by the wind, to take you a little farther on this voyage. Upon unknown waters your uncertainty quivers in this wake but need not remain, for you glide upon the blue silver waters of a sea that is as clear as a still lake for it is upon your Spirit that you sail, so never fear. |

"Just The Rose"
Art by Morning Star |
Through LoveThrough love you center in peace
in the sanctuary that you've made home. Through love your eyes are opened to see the light glistening upon the waves. Through love, silence is known that settles all the tides that have past, and through love a light arises within you that was always meant to be shared through love. |
SunriseYou do not walk those pathways, upon the mountain, anymore, for they are simply part of the journey —the terrain of outer limits-- that point the way home. Once you stand at the center you see those pathways, that you've followed, and allow them to dissolve —existing, then, beyond your realm of truth. On this pinnacle you stand with your face turned towards the rising sun, that vital force within you, that light of great Spirit that is you, and that you have come to know. You stand and face the Sun —as a child returned to the light-- and know that this is All that truly is. |

"Finding Neverland"
Art by Morning Star |
Finding Never-landThrough clouds of gold and silver streams and dusk's reflecting light I find my way to Never-land, with times of uncertainty and moments of clarity that point the way. The dust may fill my shoes, at times, but the light will lift my wings as I find my way to Never-land. The taste of its golden nectar rests upon the horizon, tempting me, offering me its cup of love and the choice to leave the path well travelled behind, as I walk on to a new terrain that I feel in my heart and have always known in my spirit. There I walk hand in hand with the god light within that knows me and shows me I can do no wrong —have done no wrong-- for the birth of the spirit is known in innocence and embraced in love in that place that some call Never-land. |
"Taking Flight"
Art by Morning Star |
Silent WingsSilent wings carry me home, and upon their tender feathers my soul rests within the comfort of what is known as true. Their tender folds embrace my heart, protecting her from voices that are fading fast within the night, just as the first light glimmers upon the horizon of the shore that lies beyond this world —where I will remain, forever. |
The PathwayThe pathway wanders
through the misty mountains, to then find a road that broadens into the prairie of the Self. There, the flowers of many colors bloom and feed the hummingbirds and honey bees, alike; There, the waters are always flowing. In this place you can take your rest. |

"Sitting In The Sun"
Sketch by Morning Star |
Under The Shady TreeWe sit here, together, under the shady tree with purple lilacs near by, hearing the songs of passers by —children and birds alike. We sit here in our togetherness with the sun that shines upon us, in peace, in quiet, in solace but not solitary, for we have the tree that stands before us and the grasses beneath our feet, and most of all we have the song of the soul inside of us waiting to be heard, waiting to be shared because that's what songs do. Yes, we sit here beside one another with a song in the heart, so if you ever wonder what it is that you might do the answer is to sing them in the celebration of the life that you have existing here inside of Me your Divine Mother of love. |
Purple Seeds
Purple seeds are planted
within the soul and heart
and in their time
start flourishing
upon the vine
of life,
of consciousness.
They are fed by the light,
and turned through the fertile soil of experience
that
points their direction
towards the sun.
These seeds are cast by heaven;
they exist within each,
and in time
all souls will come to see
their purple hearts
so filled with seeds,
with the courage,
to grow, to burst forth
on this pathway
of a spiritual life.
Upon Another Shore
Upon another shore
that exists in my heart,
where stillness speaks
and love is found,
the light glistens
upon the water.
Here is the song
of my heart,
that's always true.
Upon God's Crown
God's purest light
shines through your heart
into the deep knowing
of what has been
—when you existed beyond this world
of form,
existing in the starry heavens
and dancing in the whirling void
that gave to all things
its creation.
Yes, you have been this purity
and are that still,
although reformed and ever-changing
until the time comes
when you return to the starry night;
to then become
one of the many stars
that sits upon God's crown,
and tells Him what it has been
like
to traverse the layers of the world
where,
for the most part,
His complete love
is not known.
And there, you will rejoice!
The Place
To drop down into fertile soil of soul,
of Selfhood,
of the ground unknown to the mind,
is to find the place of momentary feeling,
and within this "lostness" of the unknown,
the inner light is found.
Eternal Majesty
There is only the eternal presence of All-That-Is,
into whose arms we fall in each moment.
In grace, and in sweet surrender,
we succumb to the eternal—inside of us--
to which all our experience points
like a compass arrow searching to find
its destination.
It points to the light within
where eternity is found, and where we sink into the deepness
of divine love,
that holds our existence together
—be this in form or in spirit.
In this, we find what we have been seeking:
the gold within the soft grains of sand, of our life, of our soul.
The breath then enters in,
the breath that sustains all things within us.
Such a breath fills our sails
and brings us to this home
of eternal majesty.
In The Silence
In the silence
you will know Us,
from the eternal fountain
within.
It is a place of
few words.
Stay Right Here
Just stay right here
with My love inside of you;
just rest here within My love.
Stay right here
where My love can grow,
within you.
Be here by My side,
where the light reflects
upon the waters of My soul,
and of your soul, also.
Just rest here within Me,
within My light,
and let this world of form, of "purpose,"
and what you have known,
just disappear.
Rest here,
be here
within this light
of Our love,
and know
this is all that you need.
