Joining the Light often leads us through the darkness first.

Life is often fraught with setbacks and the last thing most of us want to hear or think about when we are dealing with profound feelings of sadness is that deep learning can be found in this place. And how can you explain to someone who is grieving the loss of their loved one, or who has lost everything they own that in the midst of our pain of our overwhelming loss, to look for anything resembling a bright side to our suffering. Still, somewhere in our hearts we know that we will eventually emerge from the depths into the light of greater awareness. Remembering this truth, no matter how hard this seems, can help.

The other thing we often would rather not hear when we are dealing with intense sadness is that the only way out of it is through it. Dealing with our sadness takes the courage to believe that we can come through it to a brighter place.

Sadness and compassion are great teachers and through the Chaos and grieving processes of experience it often offers us the gift that at first we cannot see for the many tears we shed.

Many are shedding tears in the wake of Hurricane Sandy… this storm like many other violent storm that has raged across our planet through out time taking lives and homes leaves one asking the questions of why, as many awake to the Might of Mother Nature.

My heart goes out to all who are suffering and grieving after this huge storm and who are now trying to piece their lives back together.

Sadness is something we all go through, and each of us learn through our own individual experiences of sadness, which carry their own unique lessons, the implications of what we learn are universal.

Compassion for others who are suffering is one of those lessons and its only by going through our own pain we can understand and allow for someone else’s.

We gain much wisdom from going through the process of feeling loss, heartbreak and deep wounds.. each experience gives us access to the heart of humanity.. In the great symphony of life, we all have important parts to play. Now more than ever we need to use that instrument, our hearts, to build harmony within our world. 

Anything we do begrudgingly limits the flow of our energy and closes us off from the good that is available to us in every situation. But by giving the best in us to make the world around us better, we open ourselves to receive the best from the universe in return.

Our Earth Mother is showing us we need to pool that Compassion,helping us to open up our hearts to each other as we build those bridges of separateness to understand we are all one, and now is the time for humanity to pull together as One.   We are being shown we need to care and open our hearts in helping one another….We need to join together in  Light and Love ..

Joining The Light

The shafts of Light filter through my mind

Helping me see, illuminating the clouds of dark I find.

They shimmer and dance before my eyes

Cutting out the echoes of Human Cries

They shed their beam of truth

Lighting up the corridors of Time

As a knowing surrounds me, for I travel along its Ray

Listening and absorbing in all it has to say

It heals with its warmth,

As its colours reflect the prisms of thought.

Rainbows of light surround me, illuminating where shadows are naught

I ride upon it thread, as it takes me out from my shackled shell

Floating now in a sea of pure love

Forever here I wish to dwell

No Body,

No Time,

Just endless Peace,

What sweet release

I Dedicate my poem to all those affected and  who have lost loved ones in  Hurricane Sandy ..
