Meditate

Silence is best,

The mind at rest.

Thoughts and worries still at last.

Peace and harmony will settle in,

Bringing a cheerful happy grin.

A smile so bright,

Expanding your Light.

Glowing all around,

Peace and joy abound.

Arriving at a state of bliss,

There's not a moment to be missed.

So make a serious effort to meditate.

Bringing a heightened spiritual state.

A state of awareness so clear,

Without hesitation or fear.

Drawing the Holy Spirit ever so near.

- S. Richardson

Reflections

Gaze into a mirror,

Go beyond the exterior.

Soul searching requires deep reflection,

Without worry of rejection.

Your inner light,

Must shine bright.

Whether day or night.

You must do what's right.

Sometimes this can be trying,

But there is to be no lying.

Speak the truth as you know it.

Now as you sit,

Looking at yourself gazing back at you.

It is true.

You are perfect in every way,

So take the time every day,

To reflect and say,

"I am love."

"I radiate Light from above."

"I am complete, I am whole."

"I am a worthy and loving soul."

- S. Richardson

Look Within

Impatience is a lesson of haste,

No time to waste.

It's time to face,

The facts of life and its pace.

Quickly moving,

Always doing.

Never time to quiet the mind,

If you seek you will find.

Learn to connect with the wisdom of your soul,

The pot of gold,

This treasure you hold.

When you allow life to unfold,

Trying to break the mold.

Let it be told.

Take time to relax and rest,

As you begin your quest,

Listen and follow through,

Uncovering the clues.

For all of the answers are inside of you.

- S. Richardson
