As a sparkling diamond so pristine, pure and strong the cross of resurrection it removes all that is wrong no more a crucifixion lived, instead now resurrection the heart which is the cross's point of centre so perfection
Where "As Above" and "So Below" do meet as Love Divine in the heart of God from which flows joy as Holy Wine commune upon this peace that's offered then allow the glow of stars that dance in joyful glee a'twinkling in the flow
Forget the past and let the future rest in peace to come for Now is what does matter in the golden glowing sun the cross of resurrection is the one which really matters the crucifixion cross has left humanity in tatters
Uplifting times are now in place - the shift is almost here evolving now we are and with this rise no more to fear in gratitude let's unify and be the One we are as created in our origin just like a shining star
As we come to the mouth of the river of life take time to review where we've been the journey's been rough and at times very tough but its led to the place of our dream
At the mouth of the river we contemplate now as we enter the ocean of Being the merging as one in full light of the sun to go with the flow is so freeing
No more need to struggle, instead just be open to go where life wishes to flow choices abundant the past is redundant the new is a bright golden glow
Where the land meets the sea is the shore of all time eternally breathing its gift all comes together no matter the weather as one there's no longer a rift
Down at the shore is the merging of all the land forms the bed for the sea which flows with creation in pure relation the ocean's the right place to Be
I sit on the window sill watching the sea a blissful-like feeling it overcomes me soothed now I am by the ocean's persuasion the swell of the waves on each rising occasion
I find I'm drawn in by the ebb and the flow observing the movement - the come and the go like each breath I take - there's an in and out somehow the sea is what life's all about
The rhythm, the pulse in this centre of being has me engulfed and is ever so freeing merging, emerging I watch all the more I feel myself floating right into the shore
A drop in the ocean some think does not matter yet without this drop the result is a tatter for while one is here in this ocean of time a drop to the ocean's perfection sublime
Within the drop is the crystal reflection the whole of the ocean in all its perfection the value of each is reflected in all and perfect is this so no longer the fall
So in this observance as one with the sea I know I am it and the sea it is me All That There Is is expressed through each drop and together do merge with the One at the Top
So I sit on the window sill watching the sea with this blissful-like feeling surging through me soothed by the ocean - its rise and its fall I know I am One with the Is that is All
The glow of the sun on a fine summer's morn lightens the hearts of all who're forlorn as soon as one rises to move through the day the warmth of the moment shines on one's way
Now like the rising sun too we're ascending higher and higher the focussing unbending divine love now flows in a sweet state of grace pouring its goodness in all space and place
With this outpouring the urging gets stronger to move right on forward - thus waiting no longer leaving behind all that no longer serves accepting the divine gift which one now deserves
Letting the love flow through all of one's life removes all of the past that has caused one much strife no longer be caught in the "way" of the "fall" instead see perfection and beauty in all
The heart sings a song that's in tune with the day as we walk down the path when we're going our way we continue to walk and the path becomes longer and as we so walk the song becomes stronger
Yet in journeying this way there's a joy in our step and we walk with a smile and become more adept at finding our way 'long the highway of life and this being so much more love becomes rife
The clouds become light and the sky is more blue and the trees are lush green, from the hilltops a view that's tres magnifique when we survey the scene and the heart becomes soft as the sun more does gleam
Into the spaces where once it was dark the light seems to shine now much more than a spark its flame it does burn with a bright gentle glow more bright it becomes as we go with the flow
So let your heart sing as you go on your way and let the love flow in the bright light of day no more let the strings of the past tug and pull instead let one's heart song expand to the full
Content in their freedom they move in the breeze colours of splendour these flowers of ease beauty displayed for they know their full worth in their natural state as was their's from their birth
Seeded of God, now they grow t'ward's the light majestic, they honour their full sovereign right their soulfulness seen on each bright summer's day deep in the field of grasses they sway
Such joy they present as they move with delight in the warm summer sun or the evening's moonlight their annual display is of nature's fine flow down on the Curraghs where the wildflowers grow

What is it that magically pulls at one's heart when all else around us is falling apart the wonder, the purpose, the meaning of all this feeling inside it does answer the call
To wide open places where all is revealed when following the heart that 'til now has been sealed to view comes the magic of all laid before a life that is awesome right down to the core
As stars brightly twinkle deep in the night sky one's mind asks some questions of how and of why and answers do flow from one's heart when we listen and life moves on forward embracing new vision
How simple it is when one's walking on air detached from the doing, now being's the fare how sweet is the flow of a life that's surrendered much clearing and cleansing of one fully rendered
Being in the world yet not being of it detached from the process, observing the refit O how all does magically dovetail in synch the big picture view is the key to the link
Back to the original source of all life deep in one's heart now free of all strife for here in this sanctum so sacred and pure is peace everlasting, for there's nothing truer
As God in no time we soon see the score that all that has happened is present and more for time is the measure of future and past in no time at all we learn now at last
Expanded view is the one of no time observing afar we see that the clime for all that's occurring is viewed as objective detaching to witness the wider perspective
Deep in the valley the river does flow high on the hilltop the sunset does glow from far outer space the view of the earth is timeless, 'yond measure, this home of our birth
Be God in no time in pure perfect presence the joy and the peace of original essence for now's the way forward, eternal and sweet the wonder and awe of the Self now to meet
