People are always looking for personal power outside of themselves. They think that if they only had “that” or if they only bought “this” they would be something greater than they are. If you took a policeman, a biker, and a cowboy and put them out in a field, then said, “Remove your clothes.”, when they did, you’d just have three guys standing around in a field in their underwear. But, let them put all that fancy stuff back on, and suddenly, they BECOME SOMETHING powerful, again. 

There is no power outside of you. And, nothing has any power OVER you, except that which you give it. The only personal power there is, the only power you can call on today, or tomorrow, is inside of you. The power of Spirit is in all of us. Everything else is an illusion, a false idol, a fever dream.

Remind yourself often, what a…

“Come to the edge.’

‘We can’t. We’re afraid.’ 

‘Come to the edge.”We can’t. We will fall!’ 

‘Come to the edge.’ And they came.

And he pushed them. And they flew.”

As a flower spreads its wings

   blossoms open, nature sings.

So too, go you.

                                       Michael

Give yourself permission to blossom today,

and when something good comes from it,

do yourself and the world a favor, hold your

head up and embrace it with satisfied, joy. 

Dedicated to my friend Michelle Marie who

talked me into giving a blog a try.

Thanks Michelle!

PLAYING IN THE RAIN

As a child

We loved to Play

Sing and Dance

Frolicking in the rain

A treasured past time

Playing in the rain

We’d lay out

Our rain gear

As fast as we could

Boots and hats

On at last

In motion for the door

In a minute flat

Splashing in the puddles

Catching rain drops

Skip Hipidy Bop

Let’s play

Hop Scotch

Way more fun

Than playing in the Sun

Lookout rain drops

Here we come
