More Than Enough (Poem)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

This poem announced itself with three short words – “more than enough.” When that phrase landed I stopped everything, sat down, and listened for the “rest of the story.”

Perhaps the reader is familiar with similar feelings; the creative opening that appears where one chooses a response designed to provide pragmatic insight and the dynamic flow of creative empowerment. 

I invite you to “listen” then celebrate this age old truth: when we’re aligned with love each of us automatically realizes we are “more than enough.”

Crafting Wabi-Sabi (Poem)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Guest Post by Dennis Ernst

I think of my own life and all of its imperfections. The challenges, slowly tearing down outdated beliefs, stripping away all that isn’t needed for the next step in life. This process is an evolution that creatively crafts our becoming into a unique and ever-changing work of art. It challenges us to keep going, keep working, keep crafting our masterpiece of human experience. Each refinement reveals new hidden beauty, depth, and a deeper understanding of our journey and our becoming. 

Shibumi (and Haiku)

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Guest post by Dennis Ernst

There is a word, I recently came across that I’ve been needing to add to my vocabulary of how to live. The word is found in the Japanese language as Shibumi. It translates to English as “effortless perfection, elegance, simplicity, and humility. It’s seen in Japanese minimalism and is an art form, a philosophy, and a lifestyle. This struck me as a wonderful metaphor of living.

Each of us develops our own strengths. These come from choices and experience, often over long periods of time. I’ve noticed three types of strengths that one can develop into a living and learning style unique to them.

Freedom (Poem)

These days, many choose to release material things that are taking up space in a house they want to sell or simply want more room. With age can come that knowing that material possessions do not have the same significance they did in our younger years. This has created a whole organizer coaching business as well as all the tools one could ever want and more to help you organize.

What I’ve found, what so many others have already found, is their own special appointment with love. 

Grace

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

For over 25 years, I’ve written and shared a Christmas season poem with family and friends.

Each year Spirit leads. I begin by asking the Universe what that year’s theme will be. The wording of my question changes but the intent remains: “What theme does Spirit want me to explore?” And, “how can what I share about it so my words help the reader better realize their link to life’s gifts?”

What Elephants Hear

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Guest Post by Gloria Lionz

I love surprising friends with random gifts. I keep an eye out for small, spiral bound journals for one dear friend who has a daily spiritual practice of recording dreams and insights. They’re her “golden ticket” to self-reflection, growth and joy. 

Gifts show up when they show up. Poems do the same.

Stand Tall

Our true destiny is to link beyond the confines of the three-dimensional world and to do so in a grounded, mature way. The poem is a brief invitation to each reader to release the need to make sense of the outer and realize EVERYONE is needed and WELCOMED to STAND TALL as we live our true spiritual purpose.
