Family is the bond that brings us closer to who we were and who we are to become.

Without our families to lend us helping hands and shoulders to cry upon, we simply

couldn’t be.

They are the roots that hold us close, they are the leaves that let us breath,

They are the flowers that let us live on, forever.

I dedicate this to all those out there who have families the are unable to be with them this Holiday season,

know that even though you are apart the tree that is your family is closer then one can ever truly know.

They are deep within your hearts and your souls, an they never truly leave you alone.

Happy Holidays

Can we as a mass number say we out live our means, we out live our own wants and dreams and above all, out live our own needs. We think we have this “bag of chips” why not eat the whole thing, can buy more tomorrow and the next day until we don’t need those “chips” anymore, then throw away what we don’t use and never think back and wonder where those “chips” are that we never finished and just threw away. This simple line can be put to use with so much around us, clothes, food, machines and the very earth between our toes. And I wonder have we out lived our own needs?

My answer is yes in everything we do and in everything we have done. We have forgotten the simple rule of thumb, “Waste not, want not.” I have heard this so many times, yet in my own simple world I waste food, I waste clothes and I find ways to waste things I never knew was there, like time. We all do this, and it is time we find ways not to.

Like deciding to only buy two instead of four knowning full well you will never be able to eat all of those and one or two will go to waste, you think it is such a good price though. But I ask is it saving anything, if  you do not eat it then the money you have saved is gone and so is the food you saved it on. Maybe just maybe, you should have taken the 2, saved a little, but wasted nothing in turn. I use food as an ex,ample because it is surprising that it is the number one thing in this world we waste the most of. I think that is irony, for it is the very thing millions lack, to stive to another day. If you want to buy the four, to save the extra , then donate them to someone who has none, you save the money and in turn waste nothing, and save someone else. Food is a source in our world  that we are lower on then most think, so strive in each day to save a little, and to bring a little to those who have not.

I can use that example and spread it to so much, like the cars we drive that pollute this world, so drive in the carpool lane. That lane in so many cities seem to be the road less traveled and we as a mass would do so much better if it was traveled. I’m not saying gas is anywheres in short supply, but what I’m saying is we live beyond our own needs. Can taking the time to share even our own vehicle be too much of a hassle for some.

I can also say, that in time, if we continue to out live our own simple basic needs, our world will be nothing but a heap of unwanted, useless stuff that at one time was something, someone ,somewheres, just had to have. I really think now is the time to live with in our needs and to live to help others when we can. I can truly say I do not want to ever have to say our world is 1/2 or more a dump.

A message that is needed now more then ever.

I’ve looked so very deep into the eyes of so many souls, yet have not seen one who truly fits with me.

Some have the thought that our souls are halves of a whole; therefore, we look to and fro for that which is the other half of our very own soul.

Others yet believe we are not whole, not even halves of a soul, but maybe a third or even less or even more. So we search and think we find our other half; that will make us whole, but only to find a third we truly are. So does one leave to find more, does one have to have more? I say no, for we may be halves or a third or less or more, but in truth as a soul we can live with less and experience more. Makes no sense, you say,  I hear you all, but does one’s soul only come here to love and gain. Or does one’s soul come to learn, to love all, and be all it needs. To fill the spots that are so bleak, waiting to be whole. Does every lesson that one sees and have seen, have to have something to do with love, I’m sure some are to love others while some are to love thee.

Some say their lives are empty, no job , no other half to fill the voids. Well maybe you need to be the thing that fills the voids. Maybe you just need to be; just be; to be whole.

So I take out that pocket mirror, the one I hide deep and store within the bleak and see. See for the first, that it is me looking back, the same look I’ve been looking for. I may be a half or even less maybe more, but in the end I truly am what I’ve been looking for.

Happy am I with me you say,

Pleased as punch,

Just me and someday when me is just not enough, I’ll see if someone else needs me as much as I need thee.

Message, ” This came to me one day after a long time of feeling sad and alone that not everyone or even anyone knew could understand what I was going through. It helped me to understand that feeling alone is different then being alone. I am married and truly believe we belong together, that we are here to help each other out on our journeys, but from time to time I feel alone, and it is then when I need to be just me and accept that this path may be two halves joined, but I still need to stand tall on my own and be completely happy with just being me. I hope this helps others as it has helped me.”

Bless it be

I’ve sat and pondered for so long that time has little to no meaning anymore, I’ve seen without eyes and I’ve heard without ears, I’ve even felt the deepest places upon this shallow Earth without hands to feel and I’ve tasted every last bit of what this world you call home has to offer, yet I have no mouth, no tongue, and no body that starves for these senses but I have experienced them all. I hear you ask, “then what, who are you?”; I am the very thing you breath in and out every single day of your life, without question you assume I will be there always, without one single thought you take your breaths of what you call fresh AIR and you sigh and think this smells wonderful. Do I, for truth be told I have no smell, I have no colour and no need to be either for I just am, every day I am and every night I still am, do you know that I may not have a heart that beats as yours does but I feel and I know one day I will have a smell and I will have colour and I will feel thick or thin and in the end I can say I’ve done my part, I’ve done my duty. I was here day in and day out, I was here when there was no one and I was here the very first time something hit my invisible lungs and sucked me in whole. I tried to fight, I tried and failed, you see I brought forth lightning and thunder and rain to filter the impurities out but more came and so I fought harder. I brought hurricanes and twisters to suck up the dirt and the ground to help strain the garbage from my introverted shape I do not hold and still no one heard my cries. Even though I stirred up winds strong enough to bring cities to their knees; I have tried. I still try even though I feel I am failing you, but you are failing me too. We’ve heard the word “green” and we’ve felt the little changes but something big needs to happen, for without I there would be no you and without you there would be no need for me. “Recycle Reduce Reuse”, these are just words that fall upon ears that have never ever existed, to truly do something, a change is in order, bring us back to simple truths and humble beginnings and find the meaning of living again. In the end I will be there and I will be clean again. My lungs will be whole and my words will fill this vast land again and the smell you sense will be clean and whole and we will be one. Pull up those sleeves of yours whether you have the courage to stand or not and work with me, be with me, and see the true colours this world this life of many has to offer. Breathe deep, breathe long and hard and repeat. Just don’t take for granted what I have for thee.

A message channelled Feb 19, 2008

There are so many meanings to this one little word, with so few who truly understand it and live it each day. I watched others who think they understand the meaning that is family, but with great disappointment I finally turned my eyes away. We’ve grown up in a world that states family is; “a set of relations”; how can one argue with such logic, you should. Nowadays, one can adopt a child and that is not a relation; therefore, it is not family as we classify it, but does your heart not ache when the child leaves, or breaks when the child falls and begins to cry, does it not fill with joy when the child reaches a new height of glory in it’s own life? When you see a child that is without, what does your heart say? When we see true happiness come over the face of what we call a stranger, what does your heart say? When in the true times of need, does one ever need to ask for help, or is someone you least expect there to help? I ask, how then can that not be family, how then can you deny a relation of the souls that a simple DNA test would state; “No Relations Here”? Simply the true meaning of Family that we as a whole have forgotten that I was sent a message to tell.

For Family is a simple word that can no longer be defined as a relation as a DNA strand that holds the bonds between Mother and Daughter, Father and Son, and down the ladder that is your Family tree.

I awoke this morning on Christmas Eve, the day that my very own heart has forgotten with a simple message to tell all… “Look around for every Man and Woman, for every Child that lays upon this very Earth is your Family, that when you wake tomorrow and thank God for your day, remember it is not simply the people that stand before you that shares this moment of true happiness but those who stand upon this world we call home.”

I realized that even though my heart was not filled for this day we choose to call Christmas, it was beginning to fill with a hope that one day it would be filled again.

Family: the world which we call home holds so much that one can only say the true meaning of this word is vast and small at the same time. For this word holds no race, no colour, no species, and no judgment. It’s true meaning so states this is everyone and everything that exists within the heart of Earth and the soul of Mother Earth and the very essence of the source. For we are all the children and are all still learning.

To my Family, I give you this gift, a gift that only Family can say and not be judged upon. Love from my heart to your very own, may the love of the source and Mother Earth be with you this day and all that follow.
