Wage Peace

Image
A tiny peace affirmation... Peace comes from knowing peace Love comes from being Loving Gifts come from wholly giving In this light of understanding Peace becomes My deepest brilliance   Glowing brightly   Step not timidly on the path Flow forward   Fully Alive And Alight Peace is mine My calling card Falling with me Radiating through me Blossoming all around me Witnessing what I have done Peace realized I wake   Hearing the bluebirds of the Angels   Joining in the dance of Love Free In grace I own my state of peace Right now. -- Take today to make a peace offering to yourself and someone who you have been in conflict with.  Allow a new way of looking at the situation to flow forward shifting whatever perception needs adjustment. Do this in honor of yourself. And. The pursuit of peace on earth. #LoveLand101

Dark said to Light....

"While I do not get to see you on a daily basis.  I know you are there and it gives me great comfort, my dear friend."  Light said to Dark "Until we meet again in the shadows, our magical time where we get to share each others gifts." That feels like love. smiles, Melanie #LoveLand101

Woman as Healer. Faith as Foundation. Compassion in Action.

Image
Compassion does not ask us to participate in judgment it merely asks us to be compassionate and forgive as we move through our healing process. It is what we remember when we take on the path of the true warrior in service of all that is. This is not the world that we were born into this is the world we inherited and create through our thoughts and actions and like any inheritance we work to become what we need to be for us and we unlearn that which we have acquired and we know our path is our path and all that we are shackled to when released is the way that we come into the truth of who we are. " 'Dr. Zhivago, in Boris Pasternak's great book , said "We are made ill by saying the opposite of what we feel, groveling before what we dislike, and rejoicing at what brings us nothing but misfortune." While this may seem to be a gloomy statement on human nature, I have found most people nod affirmatively when they hear or read it. Being pulled from inner needs and pers...

The Glory of Love

Image
A classic is a classic.   Jimmy Durante singing The Glory of Love number written by Billy Hill deeply resonates the message of love.  It is at once beautiful and universal sharing a story of love in all its charms. In the spirit with which Mr. Durante, one of the great characters of his or any age, was who he was, I offer up this teeny tiny prayer to go with his heartfelt rendering of this delightful song. May you feel connected, comforted and full of peace Today. Now. Always. May your heart open in ways never before possible revealing the deepest truth of your fullest knowing. with infinite love and gratitude Melanie You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. You've got to laugh a little, cry a little, until the clouds roll by a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. As long as there's the two of us, we've got the world and all it's charms. And ...

The Miracle of Service. The Inspiration of Peace. The Love of Freedom and Country. Beginnings of the Peace Corp JFK - Eleanor talk...

Greatness lies in all our hearts to be of service.  On Veteran's Day we honor those among us that carry the badge of military action past and present in defense of Freedom. Researching is the great gift of a writer’s life.   It not only opens worlds unexplored in your regular life but it allows the opportunity to give flight to your hearts intuition.   It allows you to make the connections of the past to inspire the ideas of the present and it enables the expression of unstoppable faith that anything is possible when we give freely of the gifts we have been given. In many ways public service uncovers the brightest and the darkest parts of the human heart. To be in truly in service is one of the ways we make manifest the promise of humanities most precious gifts, Peace on Earth because as we extend our hearts to support others any barrier that exists fall away.
