| Letting Go In letting go of your past. Your future is new. There can be no expectations. All is enjoyed again...New. Live in the present. Enjoy the moment. Do not think about it, feel it in your peace. Know you are loved and connected with all things. Again, out of the worst things come some of the greatest gifts. Let go, forgive others and yourself, find presence and peace. You live forever........ Enjoy it. To let go of the love and beauty of the past is very difficult, Even more than the hurt. In doing so may you relive this love and beauty again, for the first time. I would like to thank Shirley Marquez for finding meaning in this to share part of it in her new book. My reflection in His Eyes http://www.myreflectioninhiseyes.com/ The Quieting of the Mind It is the mind and what we think we know, that limits the possibilities. When the mind is quiet, the understanding of the heart awakens. In this are all the possibilities of the imagination. It is infinite, as are the connection with all things. This would be the place of peace that is missing. The love you have never felt. The joy in life that you deserve. The Rock Man builds his home on “The rock”. It is a strong foundation for Love. The earth is a reflection of man. It is alive, and created, and changes. “Why Hawaii?” I kept wondering…. “The Rock” was the answer I already knew. We are all Earth’s Keepers. I AM... (in progress) I do not exist without truth. I do not lie. To have me you must have trust. I am guilt in betrayal . I am patient and tolerant. I am acceptance. I am righteous. Lost within me you can become. I am in each other, when two become one. I am new in marriage and in birth, Felt in your children and given by them. I feel sorrow and pain. I am sadness in loss. I am in craftsmen’s work and artist’s art. I am not money but I am the greatest wealth. I am in the words you speak and the books you read. One’s breath. A whisper. I am in the wind. I am beautiful. Hope and faith exist with me. I can be given but only unselfishly. I am your soul, your spirit. I am part of you. I can never be taken. I can be accepted. I can be felt. I am faith but not religion. Without me is void and emptiness. If I am not there negativity thrives. Without me there is no purpose. Only pain and hate exists. Without me you are lost. I am part of everything. I am the reason. I am fierce. I have fought. I have no fear. I am energy and strength. I protect and defend and conquer. Helping the helpless and caring for the needy. Healing the weak and the sick. I am everything that is good. I forgive when forgiveness is welcomed. I can kill and I can die. I am tender. I am strong. I am blinding, but I do not blind. I am God and I am not. I can be you. I give you hope. I am not self-centered and egotistical. This is not about me… specifically. I am connected with all things. I am eternal. This is about you and I and what we strive to see. I am present. I am with you. I am happiness. I am you . I am me. I am everything you have lost. I am everything you need. I was and I will always be. Who am I? I am. by You and I (by Michael Edman) Freedom In letting go, You forgive others, You forgive yourself. In setting love free, You let go of what you love, Simply, because you love. In setting this love free, You find it in your heart, It is the love that is always with you. In this there is no oppression, There is no suffering. There is only love. You find you were, you are, And always will be loved. There is no more fear. In this there is freedom. The Unknowing of the Mind The “words” of a book, person, or lyric have new meaning. Words have new meanings, not their definitions. The understanding of the heart. Hurt becomes a gift. Forgiving is more than letting go. It is receiving. Expectations and regrets leave. Memory becomes new points of understanding on your path. Going backward is the same as going forward. Seeing what was unseen and was always there. The feelings you have is the intuition you follow. When the “moment in time” becomes the “instance” in space and dimension. A key is in hand. The door is right in front of you. "I make love within me. This love you see as light. Within the human body, I dwell within the heart." |
| The Greatest Gift The greatest gift has been given. It’s meaning is being understood. Does the one that gave it know? It is a gift that was planned. A gift that was always there. The gift is love and truth and happiness. The gift was to be aware. Lost There is a place that your spirit can not go. A love in your heart that you can not feel. A touch that your body does not know. My soul, it is lost there. And you will never know. This place that is lost. How it feels to go. What I See in You You love me because of what I see in you. It can be confusing. You need to see what I see in you. Then you will be in love. It will be a different love than you desired, but it will be the most beautiful. You will have a love that can not be taken away. You will have true love and you will not need me. A Gift To have lost the greatest love between two people can be the greatest hurt that one can suffer. Yet, it can be the greatest gift one can receive. It is to find a love even greater. Perspective I have changed my perspective. I have lost nothing. The words come literally. The words that were just concepts. They are and always were there for me. I just had the wrong perspective. Truth In the truths are the greatest lies. In the lies are the greatest truths. Home Within our love, We all desire, Truth, safety, security…Peace. This is home. When we share our home, We share our love. Perception One person's perception is another's misconception. Guidance In searching for guidance. I guide myself. In my guidance. I guide you. As you are guided you guide me. Guidance is a flow and a connection of all things. This is the angel, the elder, the guardian. These are the ones who love you. This is the love you have in your heart. This is your guide. Beaches I walked with my love in the beginning. I walked with my love in the end. In the beginning I will walk with my love again. Limits Imagine the limits of the imaginations of everyone that lives, has lived or will live. ...be they one in the same possibly. Then imagine that is the limits of our reality. Then you will realize. There are no limits. Light In everything.. The light came first. Maybe your eyes need to change to see the change in the light now. Without eyes there is no purpose to light. What if the light always existed and in divinity and duality-dark was created so that the light could be identified and recognized? Maybe eyes were created to see light. There is no purpose to have one without the other. There is a common intent and purpose either way. Does it matter which belief you choose? Mirrors I am not the refection in the mirror. The mirror does not reflect me. There is not a secret. There is no key because there is no door. Boxes and rooms do not exist. Unless I believe they are there. In the dark cave I am the light that shines to see the beauty in the cave. Heaven is within and all around me. You can only see me when everything is just right. You can not look right at me. I may disappear. If you see me the light it may be blinding. There is little difference in dreams and waking. I watch me watching me. In the reflection of my eyes are galaxies. The smell of a newborn baby and a puppy. The vision of a fawn or a foal. A great white bird, a Snow Leopard. The blooming of beauty in a flower. Water swirls in the air fish fly and birds swim. I live in mountains and oceans with nature all around. The desire to be two instead of one and multiply in divinity and duality. Though diminishing perception of space and time. I reflect the universe. Joy and peace accompany me. Intuition, truth, will, and passion are companions. My roots run deep and wrap around the earth. My branches touch the universe. I never quit. I never give up. I am never defeated. I will only begin again. I do not end. If I say I have no choice, then a choice I have made. It is a direction in my path I go on. Choices are everywhere. If needed my heart is my shield for I wear it on my sleeve. My light can be my sword. Dragons play with me. I would rather fly with it, a friend that flies free. I make love within me. This love you see as light. Within the human body, I dwell within the heart. The ego and the mind may argue. They are created by, for, and from me. All I can imagine. All the possibility. I imagine infinite things and so they may be. The purpose of my creations and All contained within. If you do not have me, you can not be loved. You do not have to love me. I put away my questions. Answers come anyway. I put away my mirror and everything reflects back at me. In giving and receiving I am grateful. I thank an I welcome. A Thanks-Giving holiday. I am in the present and in all the tides of time. For this is just a season. The ripples, tides and echoes. The swirls and lights you see. In peace and quiet now, I will stay a little while. I am that which I love. I am love. Without there is no purpose for me. All writing is by Michael Edman and may not be used without permission. |
