New Beginnings
To the East, New Beginnings.
~ ~ ~
Rising Sun, we see how you bring the new day.
We are grateful for your life-giving beauty and warmth.
The birds sing their songs as you fill the sky,
this new day, with nothing in it but that which is given us,
and that which we choose.
We rise with you, and the morning breeze has secrets to tell,
so we do not go back to sleep. You bring the light so we may see,
all the wonder this beautiful Mother Earth has to share.
As we begin to look and see with new eyes,
and the deeper ears of our soul begin to hear the whispers,
something deep within stirs, seeking to emerge, and I begin to care.
For this is a new day, a new way, never before has this day been.
We are given the choice, we can struggle, or we can thrive.
Let us choose to see the beauty all around us,
let us look upon our brothers and sisters with love and gratitude.
Let us see the gifts we are given,
And let us bless this day the way it blesses us.
Thank You for this day, this new day.
Namaste
Trusting the Universe
Hello Everyone!
I am very excited to be with you finally, to have this beautiful dream come true of sharing the vision with you. We will share about many things here on thank you creator, and I encourage you to write in with your thoughts, feelings and to share your visions. We hear and see so much lately about the power of our thoughts, the law of attraction, and spirituality. It is certainly nothing new, though for many of us becoming conscious co-creators of our experience of life is. I made a decision a few years ago to let go of my old ways, which were not in alignment with being happy and loving life, and take a chance on something I knew nothing about; Trust.
I am so grateful I did. Life today is so much different and in a very good way. But how do we begin to trust something that we have not had a relationship with? How do we let go of these old ways of being like fear and anxiety? How do we let go of the need to control? Each of us is different, yes. At the core of our being, however, we are the same. We share the same essence. The same thing that gives you life gives me life, and every other living, breathing thing. Our hearts beat by the same beautiful life energy. But what is that? Some of you may be saying; "he is going to say 'God', oh no!!" Yes, we have had this driven into us in many different ways, been told what God is, and then given a set of rules to follow laced with fear, in many cases. So here we are with our pre-conceived notions, and, there is no way I'm going down that road. We feel left alone to manage the Universe on our own, and we delude ourselves into thinking we have some kind of control over people, places and things, and we exercise the delusion. With this, we are certainly embarking on a journey, and as I found was perhaps the very root of my biggest fear generating mechanism; self obsession. Or, more accurately, smaller-self obsession.
There is a solution! A way out! Thank You Creator! And so we embark on a different kind of journey, if we so choose, with a very different looking and feeling set of results. If you are experiencing resistance to the term "God", perhaps think of God as a loving, caring Universe.
There are 3 essential components we can use to begin to access this new paradigm; Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness. With these, self obsession begins to make the subtle, powerful shift to Self awareness. We begin to become aware of our larger Self (who we truly are), of the similarities, and where we are connected to one-another. This is where we can begin to realize that we are not alone, that we are not separate. It is here that our perception begins the shift from fear to Love;
"fear knocked on the door, Love answered, and one was there."
Honesty is a way of being that purifies us and puts us in harmony with who we truly are. We can begin to be honest by simply looking inside ourselves and sharing our true feelings with others, even if they are ugly. "This is who I have been and I do not like it..." is a good place to start.
Open-mindedness means that I am willing to begin to trust and let go of these old ways. I open myself to new possibilities that before I would not consider. It is my choice to now become open in a new way.
Willingness is simply becoming willing to begin to practice new ways of being, willing to trust others where before I tried to control. The willingness to try things that are suggested by others that I may not think will work. I am willing to begin to trust.
Thank you for reading this, and I am happy to be with you in this way. New beginnings...
