Here

I am here
Overcame fear
Directing the year

I’m here
Diving into the clear
Surpassing piers
Dark, strong & fierce

I am here
Wearing victory veneers
I pierce
Favored & near
Closed doors I jeer

I am here
Fortified with cheer
Victor of the year
Heavenly career
The slayer of fear
Like black diamonds, impenetrable & fierce

Peace

There is nothing like it and few words to describe it. I feel peace when I play tickle bunnies with my daughters. In the US we believe every man has a right to pursue happiness, but often we overlook the peace in the pursuit. Happiness isn’t a destination it’s a journey. Peace is a verb, a state of being. The human mind can’t fully comprehend it. Peace can be experienced with simple acts such as baking cookies, having a glass of wine in solitude or laughing with a friend. Peace is everywhere. It is accessible, ready and available to all who desire it. Peace can be with anyone no matter your ethnicity, sex, age, culture or class. Peace is greater than pleasure. It is not tied to a certain action, person, place or thing. I witness peace when my eyes lay hold of the sunrise. I hear peace when I hear birds chirping early in the morning. I feel it when I jump waves in the ocean, or when I smile at someone. I experience peace when I share my time, money, talent & joy. I see potential peace in every moment. There’s peace in reflecting, peace in love, peace in breathing, peace in thinking and peace in accepting. Peace is so rewarding. It’s filling and lovely. It deserves to be held. Peace. There is nothing like it and few words to describe it.

AND IT CAME TO PASS…

THESE FIVE WORDS ARE REPEATED OVER & OVER THROUGH OUT MY FAVORITE BOOK “THE BIBLE”. I NEVER UNDERSTAND THEM UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT 4/25/09 AT 8:47 AM SITTING UNDER AN OCEANSIDE TIKI HUT ON SUNNY ISLES BEACH, READING A PASSAGE FROM ECKHART TOLLE’S BOOK “THE POWER OF NOW”. THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY, STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS & BROUGHT THOSE FIVE WORDS ARE MORE THAN A STATEMENT. THEY ARE A LENS THROUGH WHICH LIFE IS TO BE VIEWED ALWAYS. THIS IS THE STATE OF BEING GOD WANTS US TO ALWAYS BE, PEACE. IT ALL COMES TO PASS! IT HAS TO BE HEART KNOWLEDGE, NOT HEAD/MIND KNOWLEDGE TO LAST & STAY IN US. FOLLOWERS OF MY FAVORITE BOOK KNOW THAT OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART DOES THE MOUTH SPEAK. LET THIS SINK IN YOUR HEART & STAY ON YOUR LIPS, CONCERNING ALL THINGS. LOVE RELATIONSHIPS AS AWESOME & GREAT AS THEY ARE BE IT FRIENDLY, FAMILIAR OR ROMANTIC THEY COME TO PASS & WILL NOT ALWAYS PHYSICALLY BE. CAREERS, POSITIONS, JOBS, BUSINESSES AS LUCRATIVE, FULFILLING OR STABE AS THEY MAY SEEM ARE IMPERMANENT & WILL COME TO PASS. HOUSES, AUTOMOBILES, ELECTRONICS, GADGETS, VACATION SPOTS, CLOTHES, PURSES, SHOES, JEWELRY & THE LIKE NO MATTER HOW PLEASANT, LUXURIOUS OR PLENTIOUS THEY MAY BE, IT DEFINITELY COMES TO PASS. APPRECIATE & FEEL THE JOY OF WHAT YOU TEMPORARILY HAVE & WHERE YOU TEMPORARILY ARE & THE MOMENTARY LOVE YOU SHARE WITH THOSE WHO ARE IN YOUR LIFE FOR THIS SEASON. DON’T BE DEPRESSED, ANGRY OR SAD. LET THIS HEART KNOWLEDGE & LIFE LENSE, SET YOU FREE FROM A LIFE OF UNHEALTHY ATTACHMENTS YOU’VE BEEN SOLD SINCE CHILDHOOD, THAT KEEP US ON OVERLY EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTERS WHEN THE INEVITABLE FACTOR CALLED CHANGE OCCURS. LET IT GIVE YOU THE PEACE THAT GOD DESIRES YOU TO HAVE. PEACE THAT SURPASSES ALL HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. PAIN, SUFFERING, LOSS, CHALLENGES, WAR, BANKRUPTCY, DECEIT, LIES, CAPTIVITY, STRUGGLE, POVERTY, SHAME, GUILT, DENIAL, DISAPPOINTMENTS & BETRAYAL ALL COMES TO PASS. NONE OF IT IS HERE TO STAY, SO LIVE LIFE WITH A LITTLE MORE EASE & KNOW IN YOUR HEART NO MATTER HOW GOOD OR BAD “AND IT ALL COME TO PASS…”!

Unfinished Business

Wow! What a thought to ponder “Unfinished Business”. Really sit and think about what is unfinished in your life. When I speak about life I’m speaking to the nine areas of your life, spiritual, family, health, education, personal, financial, recreational, business & civic. So when you think of your life in a complete manner as this, it can help you see one, how much opportunity you have left, your unfinished business is simply opportunities to live, to see how much you truly have left to live for. These opportunities are laid out by you and sometimes divinely for you. So you see you do have a voice, you do have a ‘say’ for the most part in your own life. Looking at all your unfinished business daily has a peculiar way of focusing your life. Having life focus will give you the synergy you need to gain momentum & help you de-clutter your life of insignificant activities and dead weight people. Momentum will allow you to enjoy the journey towards completion. It starts with one step, one thought, and one decision that you can start TODAY! Create a chart or take a sheet of paper for each area and list all your unfinished business in each, then choose at least one item from each area if possible that you can start today. Build your calendar around this list. Additionally let this list guide your relationship choices. Look at your list daily to keep your focus and momentum. Check off the items as you complete them, that experience alone is exhilarating. Maintain your lists as a part of your history, to remind you as you grow how much you have done as you continue to look forward to your opportunity, vision and momentum that resides in you! Embrace your unfinished business!

Just Being

The word Be-ing makes me think of the action of my essence, coming forth into the moment. If I am Be-ing I can no longer be tranquilized into inaction by my future or imprisoned by my past. Be-ing allows me to just be in the now. What a concept. Just being. How sweet life can be and is when I connect and am aware of the inner me. How clear life can be when I can be still know. The overachiever is saying what do you mean being tranquilized into inaction by my future? The worry hog is saying what do you mean being imprisoned by my past? The busy body is saying what do you mean there’s clarity in stillness? I can feel your thoughts as I paint these words on this page. When I am settled into an overachieving mindset it often keeps me in a futuristic mode and yes I’ve accomplished many external things that way, but it cripples me from acting in the now. When I am constantly cognicent of my past it imprisons me and stifles creativity. The now is feared because I say well I am just be cautious or prudent or don’t want the past to repeat itself. The reality is you never left the past and you are being robbed of the thought of Be-ing in the now. Being busy is like a drug and w all know drugs can be ab-used. Busy-ness is like your sun-block from the now, your escape from the moment and ultimately your get-a-way from YOU. Worry, overachieving, busy-bodiness on a consistent basis robs you of the only true promise which is now. The world is being robbed of the opportunity of experiencing YOU Just Be-ing. You with fulfillment, love, peace, joy, laughter, purpose and acceptance. You being connected with you right now. Just Being can end the mental pain. Just being removes fear. Just being is reality. Just being is complete.

“WHERE I WANT TO BE”

As I sit on the beach pondering on a sentence from Russell Simmon’s “Do You” book, the end of it leaped off the page at me. I asked myself the question “Where do I want to be?”, not in the future but right now in my mind and spirit? The answer is free. I never thought about where I want to be in this moment, I’ve always thought of it futuristically. I wonder if there are others like me, who allow the future to rob them of today. No more, I say it truly feels good to appreciate & love this day. I have a choice, I get a say in how I feel & view today. I may not have all the material things I desire, but I can certainly experience the state of being where I want to be, today. Where I want to be is available to me, right now in this moment. The inner peace, unconditional love, sustainable joy & freedom from my own mental prison is within reach today as it has always been. Today I am finally where I want to be & so can you, just open your eyes & see!

Thirsty @ thirty

Thirsty @ thirty
By SL Wells
Will my thirst for authenticity ever be quenched?
Will the anger inside ever subside?
Will the river of my depth ever flow again?
Will patience ever find me?
Will the flavor of life ever return to my mouth?
Will I ever taste the sweet nectar of true romantic love?
Will my inner beauty ever be desired?
Will my help ever connect with a true need?
Will my supply ever reach its demand?
Will the cloud of bitterness ever pass away from me?
Will my joy become visible?
Will bodies and minds stop surrendering to lust?
Will common sense ever make a come back?
Will the beauty of NOW ever be discovered?
Will the promise of the future ever be realized?
Will freedom reach my finances and time?
Will connection ever intersect my soul?
Will forgiveness ever reach the surface?
My thirties are full of so much discovery…
Hit me back and let me know what you think and tell me about your thirst???
