Friday Zen Moments

While re-visiting some of my past writing, I came across a poem I had written in January 1989.  Wow, that is 28 years ago!

At the time I sensed the spiritual work I was doing was being judged as evil, so I wanted some guidance from the God within me.  
Acceptance of what I do was not as open and receptive as it is now, and being a sensitive I took on the hurt & ignorance that was being thrown at me.

Although our world is more enlightened today, I do still encounter fear of my spiritual work, as I am sure many of you do too.

Maybe my words resonate with you, or you have your own.  Either way, never fear what is within you spiritually, because eventually we all find our own way.  It's all about your intention!

I came across this quote from the Bible, which I feel says it all.  “For God gave us a spirit not of fear, but of power and love and self control.”  (Timothy 1:7)
Vibrational Sharing, Debbie A. Anderson

Sometimes the path I tread is hard & makes me want to cry,
Feeling like a door slamming shut, and I wonder why
No one said life was easy, and I don’t want it that way.
But now I wonder what I did wrong, as I sit and pray.
If you can hear me dear God above
My heart is filled with your sweet love.
I try to do your work so well
But teach me right so I can excel.
I need to learn, but please show me how
Because the world needs LOVE, yours right now!
The silence around me seemed far too great
I wondered how long I should sit and wait.
But no host of angels or music sweet
Just a tingling through my body down to my feet.
A voice deep from within me, a sense I cried
Foolish girl, not only for you that he died.
God’s busy now, so he’s sent me through
To help YOU see what YOU need to do.
I’m just a helper, a guide you might say
To help you question and to find your way.
How do you learn, so you can teach?
Just sit here and listen, I will not preach.
Sometimes when you feel you’ve lost your way
Accept the life’s lessons you learn each day.
Experience comes as you change & grow
Always keeping you in the Universal flow.
