Heart Rings
HEART RINGS
from my heart to yours
Patience, Patience, Patience
I am in that place where blossoms grow into expressions of delicate refined beauty,
Where infinitesimal small steps are to be revered and tenderly nurtured into womanhood,
Where even the slightest step must be spirit directed, or the blossom cannot reach the height of its glory.
Be ever so patient with me. I want to flourish.
I never know what I’ll say next
I pray it will make perfect sense
But really what does it matter at all
Because expressing who I am makes me feel 10 feet tall
* * *
I shudder when I look at all the clutter
Let’s go have tea with scones and butter
I am not ready to clean up this mess
Until I’ve had tea in my new yellow dress
* * *
Toppling smoppling down they go
What will they be next? does anybody know?
A waterfall?
A roller coaster?
A giant jungle gym
I love playing with these blocks outside and in
* * *
Did you ever get into your Mom’s button box
And run your hands down through the middle
There’s something wonderful about getting involved
It usually makes me laugh and giggle.
* * *
Nana’s farm was a child’s delight
Outhouses, wells and candlelight
Picking blueberries out by the pond
And listening to the peaceful stillness all night long
* * *
When I was little baloney sandwiches is what I ate
Lots of miracle whip which I now simply hate
But I trust that I’m not in any way damaged
Just from eating too many baloney sandwiches
* * *
I never thought comic books were very funny
And I didn’t like bugs bunny
What really meant more to me
Was laughing and bouncing on my father’s knee
* * *
Calm cover over me
Settle me within
Bring me inspiration
And tuck me in
* * *
I loved the sound of the gravel hitting the truck wheels
My brother sister and I would begin to squeal
It meant the picking crews were on their way
And we would get to help Grandpa pick blueberries all day
* * *
I like to let the words appear,
Nothing is sweeter or more dear
Like a kind loving word at the right time from a friend
It takes you to the next place around the bend.
* * *
Continuous flowing
Does anyone know where we are going
All I know is I feel blessed
That’s all I need to handle the rest
* * *
Down under the socks at the foot of my bed
Lies the big old monster I have had in my head
I ‘ve been afraid he is going to eat me alive
But in fact he’s only an imaginary guy
Whatever caused me to make him appear real
Is no longer something that has any appeal
So I will reach down to the foot of my bed
And simply pick up my socks instead
* * *
Sweetness is God smacking his lips
Giving us kisses like sweet puppy nips
Reminding us to be loving and stay very close
For that is what we are brought here to do most
* * *
Please don’t tell me what to do
What’s good for me may be different for you
Trust me to know how to handle what’s mine
Then everything will turn out just fine
* * *
Into the purity of my heart I go
Traveling to places I ‘ve yet to now
Resting as I learn through the night
Returning gently with the morning light
* * *
Double dutch chocolate touch
Sounds delicious – how much?
Oh it doesn’t cost anything – it’s free
It’s what I feel in my heart when you express yourself to me
* * *
Here I am in bed with the judge
No matter what she will not budge
She thinks she knows and tells you so
I just agree with her and let it go
But underneath I am mad as hell
Who does she think she is – miss ring a bell
What can I do to make her stop
Her judgment spins round and round like a top
I’ve tried it all and nothing stops her stride
I’ll bet I can get to her through her pride
If she thought everyone could see her judge
I bet she would switch and make us all fudge
* * *
People ask me what so and so thinks
And I go right ahead and tell them without a clink
What is it that makes me feel privileged to say
What I know nothing about and is never okay.
* * *
There is so little required of us
Why is it we make such a fuss
All God is asking us to be
Is loving and kind to you and me
* * *
“Bless you” I say when someone sneezes
“Are you okay” when someone wheezes
“Let me help you” when someone falls
And “I love you” – for no reason at all.
* * *
There is so much beauty here
Can you listen with loving ears
watch with knowing eyes
and let it touch your heart alive
* * *
Talk to me God I’ll be still
Like the cat on the windowsill
Watching and listening as if he knew
A secret, did he hear it from you?
* * *
What is a sweet pea but God’s gift to me to
breathe the sweet fragrance of divinity
* * *
Waiting for the magic thread
That tucks us into our snuggly beds
It’s that place inside I see
That knows God is sleeping next to me
* * *
Remember the little engine that could
He didn’t have any shoulds
He wanted to go all the way
All he had to do was agree to play
* * *
What is so wrong about wanting to sing
It doesn’t mean you have to publish a thing
Just like writing for writing sake
To hear the sounds your heart can make
* * *
When I grew up there was unbelievable drama
I wished I had known then it was simply all of our karma
Then I could have just let it all be
But I imagine I still would have wished it was not happening to me.
* * *
Gosh the pen just popped out of my hand
I was drifting off to never never land
When suddenly I felt that delicate sound
That brought me back to touch the ground
Glad About Mad
Inspirational phrases ( some could be greeting cards)
Can heaven be far away when joy abounds?
Moving keeps my heart alive and fresh to the adventure of the moment
Come let’s be together in the silence of our hearts’ knowing, softly whispering God to each other
I am listening to what matters, me and you
Kiss me in my heart for only you can reach me there
I know the place from whence I came when you walk past my eyes
What if I missed the opportunity to tell you I love you
We are gloriously rewarded every time we take a moment to be thankful
Collect all your precious memories inside your heart and blow them to God with a kiss and a thank you
Catch more moons on your horizon
Step inside the message and spill your heart
Make love to me God, I will be patient
Words are strung together in God’s sequence if you will dare to let go and see
Pretend there is nothing else but the sound of a rising and falling breath – the placing of being into now
Making sense of all is better left to God. All I know is I am sorry, please forgive me
My heart resounds with music when it remembers you
Keep believing until you believe
Find the grace in slowly
No time exists in this place I am in. The sound of God is audible and I am completely at home in my own skin
I feel deliciously wrapped up in your arms with this utterly delightful grin in my heart
In the quiet stillness of my heart you come, graciously extending your hand to meet mine
There is no sense to make of it, there is just love to give
Believe for even one second and you will trust for eternity
Someday maybe never is here now
Can we bust through the walls of seeming protection to step out into love
Have you ever traveled underneath the bird’s chirping to the Peace be Still
Amazing grace is the sweet sound of knowing you are loved
Being in this precious moment in reverent anticipation is love
