You Are Never Alone

Every day is new. You are never alone. When change is upon you, dissolve. You cannot expect to understand everything. Rise like an ocean wave pulled forward by the moon. And like a bird who sings without knowing why, take each step in gratitude. Be gracious in times of confusion, the Way is mysterious. Life will return to its dance, as sure as winter changes to spring.  ~ Inspired and Adapted: Tao Te Ching. Chapter 7. HopealleyEvery day is new.
You are never alone.
When change is upon you, dissolve.

 

You cannot expect to understand everything.
Rise like an ocean wave pulled forward by the moon.
And like a bird who sings without knowing why,
take each step in gratitude.

 

Be gracious in times of confusion,
the Way is mysterious.
Life will return to its dance,
as sure as winter changes to spring.

What No Angel Has Seen or Heard

God have mercy on me. Liberate me from my ego. I have come from you. You are my center; bring me forth. You are the vastness of all beginnings – hold me in your arms. You are my whole self; enlighten and purify my thoughts and emotions. You are my repose; give me what cannot be grasped. God, I invoke you, bestow on me the treasure of your blessings. Give me wisdom, compassion and healing. Renew my eternal light soul. Grant me what no Angel has seen or heard And what has not entered the human heart or mind. For I have faith and hope in the inevitability of Your divine love, light and mercy. Amen. Hopealley (Inspired the “Prayer of the Apostle Paul”. “ The Nag Hammadi Library in English”.

God have mercy on me.
Liberate me from my ego; an overactive mind; and one sided outlook.

 

I have come from you.
You are my center; bring me forth.
You are the vastness of all beginnings – hold me in your arms.

 

You are my whole self;
enlighten and purify my thoughts and emotions.

 

You are my repose;
give me what cannot be grasped.
God, I invoke you, bestow on me the treasure of your blessings.
Give me wisdom, compassion and healing.

 

Renew my eternal light soul.
Grant me what no Angel has seen or heard
And what has not entered the human heart or mind.

 

For I have faith and hope in the inevitability
of Your divine love, light and mercy.
                                                            Amen.

Anchor

I am a drift at sea. Thunder and lightning is all around. And the wind howls through each part of me. Where would I go? Where should I be? All I know is here in the breeze. You took my anchor while I was diving in the deep. How would I know where to search for it? Lost in a dark deep night of grief. I am a drift at sea. Thunder and lightning is all around. And the wind howls through each part of me. All is gone. Lost with no single point of direction. I am crying out into the abyss. My anchor is gone. I am scattered in the wind. Leaving these familiar shores for places far, far beyond. Aimlessly I am drifting at sea. Left with nothing except for pain. Turning around to find you again is not a possibility. My soul returned one afternoon, while sailing the seas of uncertainty. Then a shimmer of light started to creep back in. And the new emerged slowly from within. I am drifting at sea. Your reflection is all around me. I hear your soft whispers in every part of me. I am taking you with me on my journey at sea. And keeping you close to me. When I look into your eyes I recognize the anchor you left, is inside of me! Hopealley

I am a drift at sea.
Thunder and lightning is all around.
And the wind howls through each part of me.

Where would I go?
Where should I be?
All I know is here in the breeze.

You took my anchor while I was diving in the deep.
How would I know where to search for it?
Lost in a dark deep night of grief.

I am a drift at sea.
Thunder and lightning is all around.
And the wind howls through each part of me.

All is gone.
Lost with no single point of direction.
I am crying out into the abyss.

My anchor is gone.
I am scattered in the wind.
Leaving these familiar shores for places far, far beyond.

Aimlessly I am drifting at sea.
Left with nothing except for pain.
Turning around to find you again is not a possibility.
