| Surfing the Waves The love of the ocean and it’s beauty. A surfer feels it in all their senses. A wave’s light, it’s color it’s mood. It’s roar, the sound, a wave’s music. The smell of the salt air. As a bird, to glide on the surface, in it’s breath. As a dolphin is the surfers brother. The surfer is drawn here to his home. The heart of the surfer knows this love. The knowledge of this ocean. The history it shares. The power in it. The relationship of the surfer to the waves, and of the tides the Earth and Moon. The surfers’ mind learns what is to be learned. The of the love and the knowledge builds In the surfer’s mind he develops the techniques to ride a perfect wave. In the wave of a surfers dreams. This perfect wave. There exists a perfect moment, a perfect balance. The respect, the love, the knowledge, the peace They are all here to have and more. The surfer knows this in his core. In this balance. All of these are put aside, as if not needed. Yet they flow through the surfer always there. In the perfect balance is the wisdom, of all the masters that came before. Their experience and guidance are known. The oneness of this perfect wave. The perfect ride. The technique, the love, the wisdom…… In these three things, reside the balance. As the surfer feels joy and peace, and lets go. He becomes the master. In the oneness resides the balance….. To share the wisdom of it. One is the master of it. For Angels For Angels, love between each other is divine. For man, love between each other reflects divine love. The most beautiful tragedy is the loss of their greatest love. Once you accept, open up, and let go, you are free. For a greater love to return. 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. 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. Truth In the truths are the greatest lies. In the lies are the greatest truths. The Waterfall Years ago, with you many beautiful waterfalls we did see. We searched and saw the beauty the earth can share We experienced the magic of them just you and me. Tonight I went there alone to be. I was drawn through the shallows, it’s energy drew me there. I had the power of the water flowing over me. Just behind the waterfall something invited me. A dark and endless cave, something drew me in if I dare. A gift to me, it was my heart, it was golden, it set me free. Fly The sadness you feel. The emptiness you have. The regrets you live with. Breath. Open up. Breath in what is good in your life. Breath. Breath out what is not. Open up. Let go. Breath. Forgive. Move on. Let in what you desired your whole life. You are free. You are present. You are happy. You know the true meaning of love. Let go. It is a gift that waits for you. It will lift you. Give you wings. Fly. Soar. by Michael Edman 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. by Michael Edman 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. All writing is by Michael Edman and may not be used without permission. |
