Mary's Musings

I hold it in my hands,

this precious gift,

the one bestowed on me.

I didn't think I was ready

but how could I not be?

It was my destiny.

It shines so bright

so beautiful, glowing

from the joy it brings.

It makes me better,

it adds the missing piece

to the life I thought I knew.

It is a humbling honor,

a privilege, a sacred charge

better than I ever imagined.

And so here I sit

with this gift, so precious

and I grin from ear to ear.

It will not always be easy

bu...

I have found my calling.
It is a very special one.
One that was given to only me,
others can't fulfill it quite like I can.

I have found my calling.
It took me sometime to find it.
I wonder why I didn't see it before.
It all makes sense now.

I have found my calling.
What freedom I feel!
It now seems so easy
since I am finally on my way.

I have found my calling.
What is it, you're wondering?
Of course I'll share.
My calling is to be me.

I have found my calling.
I will run with it.
Because...

Watch for the signs

in the words you hear

in the sky and the stars

the language of spirit

the life around you.

Those signs are there,

they tell you,

they show you,

they inspire you,

they comfort you.

They tell you what you

need to know right now.

They may not be

the signs you want

but they are there

saying "We hear you.

We see you. 

We know you."

Watch for the signs

the ones that

make your life bright.

Listen.

Open your ears.

Close your mouth.

Hear the sounds

all around you.

You don't have to

say a word.

Gather your thoughts,

be observant about

what sounds are there

and what sounds are

not there.

That gives you a lot

of clues as to the world.

Yes, you could say

a lot but maybe now

is not the time.

Maybe quiet is the

best sound there is.

Sometimes saying nothing

is saying everything.

I feel the air around me

cradling me, hold me

I need strength during

a challenging time.

The air doesn't let me go.

I hear its whispers,

I feel its gentle caresses

I listen, I hear, I know.

The air doesn't stop

even when it's quiet.

It opens my ears

and my heart

to listen to the words

of spirit and the words

that come from my heart.

I just have to listen.

Turn off all the other noise

and step out into the sky,

fly away and float,

in the inspiration

of the air that I breath...

There are days you wonder
why you get out of bed
"What am I doing?" you say.
"I just want to cover my head."

 But then you decide
your feet have to hit the ground
somehow you've done it
inspiration has been found

It may be in the birds, the trees,
the little voices not in your head,
the smell of sweet coffee, the kiss of a love,
a day of a soul being fed

It doesn't matter if it's good or bad
tomorrow is a new day
when you pull the covers up at night
"I did it - thank goodness", you say.
