…a little kitty poem

Since you love kitties so tenderly….I thought I might share this poem with you in remembrance of a little friend of my own…Blessings and hugs, gisl

Once there was a kitty who needed a home
And no one wanted her so she had to roam
She was in need cuz she waddled a big belly
Unto my door she meowed, ragged and smelly

I gave her food and invited her in
She purred thank you and settled quickly within
Eating and drinking like it was her last meal
Yet pausing in between giving nudges to my heel

Quickly the days passed and it was her time
She paced and whined into her box she did climb
I readied the towels, blankets and knelt by her side
Thru painful efforts she bore four kittens with courage and pride

That was my sweet Susie who was thereafter a very loyal friend
Whether on my lap or for companion i could always depend
So just because i fed her and gave some kindness and care
Susie showered me with love and affection beyond compare

Such a simple sharing and not much of a drain
One soul affecting another both receiving gain
That is my story with a most beloved creature
A sweet life experience from a most loving teacher

For Susie, a most beloved friend, gone back to God, but her paws and love forever imprinted in my heart…gisl

Imagine how our world would be if we could give one another the same sort of loving exchange that an animal, who does not speak with our same words, readily is able to do, just by its presence exemplifying unconditional love in the simple act of loyal grateful friendship….

The Power of Focus

As we go about our daily business we give little thought about the focus of our mind and thoughts. This is automatic to us, our focus is on whatever task we are doing in the present moment. Our eyes, mind, and thoughts may be focused on the book we are reading or some article we are writing. While we are focusing on the object of interest, we are shutting out all those things around us save the object of interest. This is normal, nothing wrong with it, and the more intense our focus becomes the more we shut out the rest of the world to favor that focus.

Some people think they can multi-task, doing several things at once, but they are only kidding themselves. Their focus just moves from one task to another, their body responding with the appropriate moves for that task. It is impossible to focus on more than one thing at a time. We should be thankful for that do to the confusion the alternative would bring.

The intensity of our focus determines how easy or hard it is for someone else to get the attention of the focuser. If you are focused on watching the Super Bowl it may be very hard for someone to break though that focus to ask a quesion. So focus is very important to life, and where you focus is very important to your well being.

You can’t drive a car and use a cell phone at the same time without endangering yourself and others. No one can, so just don’t do it, if you have an accident and you were using a cell phone it will be your fault. Awhile back I had a young girl run into the back of my car as I was making a right turn, with blinkers on, we were lucky and no damage done. But again, just don’t do it.

It is a good idea to notice what thoughts you focus on during the day. Negative thoughts turn into negative action, so try to think about positive things most of the time. Do some affirmations daily and turn negative thoughts into a positive affirmation.

Keep your focus on the good things of life so you will experience the good things of life. Practice focusing on spiritual love for yourself and all people. There is no higher good than doing good things for yourself and others.

Torch Bearers of Light…

We are each holding the divine Light within as LOVE, this we have eternally always been and will never differ.

But as souls journeying in this physical earth plane
our remembrance of our true selves are often well veiled at birth.

To fully embrace our physical density, unforgiving and tight fitting it often might be

Yet this then becomes our reality for all the moments of living,

so that we may experience all that we can imagine, dream or encounter.

For the purpose of learning, growing, reaping all the benefits of joys, pain or sorrow,

while achieving our goals and purpose agreed upon before coming.

But as a grace when we may be lonely and miss our true home, there are sparks of recall, nudgings of small voices within, gentle touches from other souls crossing our paths…

That we let us realize we are so much more than we seem and our remembrance is rekindled,

little by little or sometimes in huge waves of blissful ignites..
nevertheless, we know and it becomes a second birthing.

With tears of joy, gladness and warmth and not of cold shock as in the first arrival.

We notice then there are many siblings all around, some awaking some still in a haze.

And we love them so much because we remember our Oneness, our dearest eternal friends.

Seeing in them ourselves, their light, our own light, their loving essence, ours.

So we pass on this burning desire to share, this remembrance of LOVE so perfect and rare.

A beautiful jewel aglow within each, to be discovered and behold

A light so bright, so pure, so inviting beautiful,

we boldly can’t help but reach out to touch, embrace and merge with our own,

thus allowing full participation to all, with all, in unity we are much more afire

Burning, expanding, flamingly alight for the divine conscious awareness for all siblings.

As we strive in oneness for ultimate ascension to our highest potential, racing towards heavens ordained blessing of true Being.

As olympians bearers of this divine light, we each bring a unique energy of love vibration that must be shared and passed on.

For in the perfect wonderful law of our Creator, the more you give, the more you get back.

In so many ways we do this, in kindness, in prayers, in thoughtful deeds, in friendship, in encouraging ways, in being LOVE and letting others Be.

And accepting All exactly where they are in their path and walking gently, ever present,

Along, beside with respect for the unique expression of their souls in what we see with our opened hearts and open arms…

Let us all rekindle our fire as we keep on…being the lights that we are, and letting our Love reveal itself in all the ways that it needs to be…with each other, within our personal lives…with the world at large.

This truly is the passing on of the torch that is not only our privilege to do but a joy and responsibility to each other and what we came to do…

So the more we pass our light on to others, the more we shine

The brightness is immense for all to clearly see with their hearts

their paths becomes joyous with peace and not lonely in oneness knowing,

Each realizing their own beautiful magnificent soul self, always cherished, ever eternal.

Rekindling their light and then too, passing it on, in endless ripples of LOVE till all hearts are aflame with remembrance of loving Oneness Light.

Thank you for reading, blessings & hugs, gisl

My NDE — JP

My NDE by JP

Begging everyone’s indulgence, but make of this what you will. My NDE was the result of a high speed collision between my motorbike, and an illegally u-turning motor vehicle.

I was travelling along a straight road at a speed of approx. 85mph, I noticed a slow stream of traffic coming towards me (convoy fashion, I’m only assuming that there was a slow truck holding them up), as I reached about a third of the way past the convoy, one of the cars made an unannounced u-turn.

It was a very solid hit, . . . barrumph (can’t think of an appropriate sound effect to describe the feeling), . . . I had a sensation of the beginnings of a long slow motion tumble, my first thought was (seriously) “oh shit, I’m dead, now what.”

I must point out now, that this is the only time in the whole experience, that I can describe anything resembling a white light or tunnel. It seemed that the tumbling took place in a warm, soft white void.

Emerging from that void I was suddenly aware of being above the scene of the accident, I wasn’t at all concerned about what had just happened. I seemed to just take it all in, my mind seemed . . . as I said earlier “my first thought was ” . . . but, I now realise the thinking process was completely different, it was like every thought happened at once, all was resolved and my mind became uncluttered . . . hmmmm (that’s the first time I’ve coined that phrase for it, but it seems appropriate). There was no BS left.

I did think about people I’d left behind, I just took it for granted that “they’d” understand soon enough themselves anyway. (I didn’t think about my mum or my girlfriend per se, it was more of a collective thing).

The night was dark, but I could see very clearly, floating around tree top level, I wasn’t aware of possesing a body, but seemed to still have binocular vision, it was the middle of winter, but I wasn’t aware of the cold. I had everything I needed.

As far as “I” was concerned “I” had my freedom, I had no idea what was going to happen next, but I couldn’t wait, I was on my way. There seemed no urgency about what was happening either, no deadlines, no time limits.

Then came the bummer, I snapped back inside my body. There I was again, self absorbed, whining, moaning . . . I was back amongst the bullshit.

The accident was a fairly traumatic event, the poor body got quite a violent shake, I sustained a broken neck out of the whole affair. Another strange thing though, as soon as I had my bearings again, I was able to calmly direct people as to how I should be treated (as a spinal injury), “don’t move me” . . . “leave my helmet and scarf alone,” etc.

I don’t know how long I was gone, it was at least long enough for my body to have landed 45yds up the road, and a flurry of people to stir into action (I saw that much from my cosy little vantage point above the scene).

That was just a simple observation of my experience. I just don’t know how to tell you how much it meant, how much of a reassurance it was to me.

I have no fear now of dying. I know there is no “death,” I can only try and reassure you that “death” is not a thing to be feared.

Regards, JP
