A few months ago my life was helter skelter
Now, I rejoice, in the laughter at the shelter.
There is never a problem that one of us has not been through.
There is always joy and understanding even when skies are not blue.
We have our own experiences.
We have compassion in the pain.
But, now, I am at home in [...]

When faced with an illness
An accident
A fall
I rejoice
Asking
“Is this my ticket home?
Am I about to answer the call?”
The wise one who teaches me
Answers with a kind laugh in his voice…
“You are already Home.”
Acceptance dances as one with Soul.
I delight in this moment.
I know I am Home.
I truly rejoice.
I am whole.
My home is a palace…a temple of Praise

My home is a palace,
A temple of praise.
A place of worship,
A portal of joy.
A launching pad
‘Tis my jumping off place
I embrace and am renewed
I bask in the Master’s grace.
I have sunlight enough
To flood over my face.
The moonlight calls me
To its sweet embrace.
The serenity, the safety
the sensuousness of the place
Often has me blushing
With enjoyment of [...]

Yes, my darling children
I know what you are going through
Mum and Pup broke my heart
when death’s door they walked to.
I lost my brothers and sisters.
I lost my friends and my babies too.
Know this my dear children
Heaven is where you make it
You do not have to wait till the other side.
Enjoy the laughter.
Enjoy the love.
Enjoy the [...]

“Dedicate your life and your
actions to the Master.
Do all in His name.
That is the best reflection
of the love that has been given you.
I will always love you.
The Master is always with you.
Listen, dear child, when you want to ask ‘Why’
It is because I told you so.”

Meet me in the sunset
Dance with me in the rain.
Hold me in your heart dear
Till I am in your arms again.

I want to see the Master.
I want to hear His Voice.
I want to be in His Service.
I want my life to Rejoice.
I must go down to the sea
To the river
To the lake or a pond
I want to immerse myself in its cleansing.
I want to float in it all day long.
I want to hear my own name.
I want the knowledges of the ages
How can I put Heart in it?

How can I put “heart” in it
When my heart is broken
From saying too many good-byes.
Some folks were wrenched from me.
Some were adopted out.
Some moved away.
Some forced themselves out of my realm
By their actions, abuses and scorn.
When I get past the anger
Will I just then quietly mourn?
Or will I take the high road
Basking in the bliss
Of [...]

In memories eyes
She wondered why the crow had never taken
Her on the trip she so dearly needed.
The answer now was clear.
“You cannot enjoy the heavenly Throne
If you don’t find heaven here.”
The living in the moment
Is not a great surprise
Just learn to see the Master
In everything before your eyes.”
The following was written in grief [...]

I found a smile on my pillow.
This morning, I found a smile on my pillow.
I was positive I would not smile again.
Then the gratitude of your love nudged me awake.
I began my day with a bountiful heart
Filled with the memories of your loving ways.
All the distance between us was gone.
I embraced your kind Spirit.
I cuddled [...]
