Haiku Gratitude

Dream Seeds root and shoot;

buds forming, drinking Love’s Light;

nascent Life grows on.

~Blooming Human’s Day 21

I think Haiku is beautiful to read. I didn’t think I could ever write it because I’ve never really been into poetry. I do have few favorite poems though. Write it? No I don’t think so...but never the less, with Stacey’s prompting, I created one today. I am amazed, I didn’t think I could do it.

A Blooming Human,

a Divine seed bursting through

to a new reality.

~ Marsha!

Many people have posted their Haiku on the Blooming Human’s facebook page and they are beautiful creations. I really enjoyed reading them. I know how much meaning they have to each person who wrote them because I can feel the power of all the dream seeds in each persons heart.

Bringing my Dream Seeds to Light, I am Marsha!

"Haiku is about inter-being. The word "interbeing" originated with the Vietnamese Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh. It means: everything is in everything else. We experience this reality through mindfulness, through Being in the Here and Now. One life-energy is permeating everything.

Haiku means letting this energy/life/reality write itself.

Or, to put it simply: A haiku records an immediate experience of life. Haiku writing is sometimes called a way of life, rather than an art. It could also be described as a way of seeing, listening, being.

Because haiku writing is rooted in experience, the best time to compose a haiku poem is right after the event. But the experience comes first! Only afterwards, when it is recalled, as vividly as possible, we can put it into words that convey, as directly as possible, what happened."

Truthful Gratitude

“You laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at you because you are all the same.” ~ Jonathan Davis

I have always been different, ‘special’, unique, etc. No matter what you call it, it’s a difficult burden to carry. As a child, I was made fun of, called various names, and didn’t have many friends. The only thing I ever wanted was to be like everyone else but alas that can never be.

I know from my own life how difficult it is to watch a beautiful person achieve success so easily with everything just falling into place. And I want to be that person too. Why am I not? I see how some people must struggle and fight so hard for the littlest things. Why is that? I often ask, what am I doing wrong? What’s wrong with me?

I was so painfully shy most of my life and I still struggle to overcome it. I also know that my path must be one of communication, so if all I accomplish is my own personal healing from my writing then I am a success. My experience has made me sensitive, caring, and understanding. It makes it easier to be kind to people, because I know the pain they feel. I am not bitter, I am thankful for the person I am today. I have come to realize that normal is highly overrated, and besides I’m not even sure there is such a thing as normal.

Perhaps my purpose is not to be one of the beautiful people but in fact, my purpose is to help those beautiful people achieve their full potential! Another aha moment! Hallelujah! I have found my truth…

With blooming gratitude, kindness, and compassion, I am Marsha!

'Finding the Small, Still Voice Within'

"Daily practice and hindsight vision will convince you of the accuracy of the answers that comes through when you tune inward. Check the results of your decisions when you have followed the advice of the Inner Voice. Keep track of the wisdom and changes that it brings into your life.

As your confidence builds, you will find yourself turning to your inner guidance more and more for important decisions. Your conscious mind will become more in tune with the inner self so that you need not ask on small matters. Your intuition will develop more so that decisions are made with conscious mind and Inner Wisdom working together.

You will experience less conflict in your life as you have a means of always knowing what is right and correct for you.
As you learn to recognize the genuine authority of your Inner Wisdom, you will realize the power that you hold is within your own being. Daily practice seeking your own truth instead of relying on others helps validate the guidance that you are being given.

Trust in the process of seeking within grows as a tenure of your experience. Once you are certain of the validation of the voice that you hear as being consistent for your growth and well being, the process becomes an automatic part of your spiritual practice."

~ Lynn Namka

Hearing Gratitude

I have filled my heart with gratitude, and fanned the fire of my heart flame and now I am nurturing the Dream Seeds within my heart. I have ridden the waves of gratitude and now I hear a new reality calling to me. I fully embrace this opportunity to jump in and ride the flow as I birth a new reality. Oh yes, change has indeed come.

I live in a time filled with coincidences and synchronicity, and the answers to my questions appear out of nowhere. I’m not sure where all of this will take me, but I have no fear, only courage, as I follow my heart to fulfill a greater purpose.

I have heard the call of gratitude, and I will continue streaming love and light through my heart into the world and beyond. I walk a healing path which allows me to birth a new reality filled with love, light and gratitude. And it all begins with one small step, one act of kindness...

In gratitude, I am Marsha!

Intentional Gratitude

I experienced miraculous changes during my 42 days of ‘Go Gratitude’ which later evolved into ‘World Gratitude.’ Now Stacey Robyn is part of the ‘Blooming Humans Ground Crew,’ so I am choosing to write another series of blogs for 42 days. How could I not? Stacey is my ray of sunshine, my inspiration! I am so very thankful that I have planted my Dream Seeds and it’s time to fulfill my dreams in Birthing a New Reality. I know deep inside my soul, I have been preparing, each day of my life, for what is unfolding now. So, here we grow again, Beloveds.

"What we think, we become. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." ~ The Buddha

For many years now I have wanted to be a webmaster, creating, designing and developing websites. Then recently my daughter had someone create a site for her using WordPress. I thought kewl! Learning how to use WordPress became my new favorite pastime, which I had expected to be relatively easy to learn and of course lots of fun. I am sad to say I have been so disappointed, because it is neither. It has become a painful drudgery, ah another lesson to learn. Some dreams die hard. But maybe, I am supposed to create my own websites and not sites for others. So, I haven’t totally give up, I have just decided to take another step back and try another approach.

I know this is a time of great growth for me spiritually, and that also means profound change and transformation not only for me, but the world as well. I will continue to envision an emerging world of Peace and Illumination.

In gratitude I go...and grow! I am Marsha!

“Gratitude is an essential facet of love that opens you to redefine your purpose as a supportive extension of the Divine, rather than the whimsical outreach of fate or the exacting reaction of a mechanical, detached universe.”

~ From 'Principles of Personal Transformation' by wingmakers

Blooming Gratitude

Everything begins with one small seed, one small step, one small idea in the blink of an eye. So what if just for today, everyone showed kindness to others, and they in turn showed kindness and so on and so on… An most importantly, what if we started ‘killing’ everyone with ‘kindness’ instead of ‘war’… What would happen? Wouldn’t it be amazing? The whole world would change and be a better place, a place filled with kindness. Perhaps something as simple as a smile or a thank you, or even a hello. Just imagine it! Can you? I can and it could begin with one simple act of kindness.

“Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
~ Mark Twain

I can see that each day is bringing subtle changes, shifts and growth in my life. I know my Dream Seeds are growing stronger with each breath I take, Divine Light is flowing with grace into my heart, body and soul healing, and removing the veils of time. I am thankful for the love in my heart, for each breath of gratitude I take and for each step I take as I birth my new reality!

Filling my heart with love, kindness, and gratitude! I am Marsha!

I am blossoming in Spirit's time.  Knowing this, I turn to my inner flowering securely. Within the environment of my own heart, I enjoy the sunlight of safety, the warmth of harmony, the strength of right companions.

Focused on the reality that Spirit is my constant companion, I remember to be comforted by the continuity of my blessings. Grounded in the safety of divine presence, I am able to breathe deeply, pause in my striving, and notice the unfolding of one gift into another.

My life is evolutionary and revolutionary. My attitude of openness, expectation, and observation yields me a sense of abundance.

~ From Julia Cameron's, Blessings

Source of Gratitude

What if...what we have been told about the Trinity is not in fact true, but each element, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost is only symbolic. Well I guess it is sort of true, but only because each embodies that which is the Trinity within your soul, Knowledge, Truth and Power. This is the true nature of the Divine and can only be understood by entering the inner Castle that is your soul and being alone with God.

I now know, I see things differently than most people, so to say this is probably an understatement. It’s only Day 16 and it seems to me that the spiritual transformation I am making is going to be much more dramatic than what occured during the '9th and Final Wave of Go Gratitude.' I am in awe as I begin the process of 'Birthing a New Reality!'

With an ever-evolving illuminated heart, I am Marsha!

The seeds of Reunion are sprouting everywhere. That which was hidden for millennia is coming to light. Soon, fertilized by the detritus of our decaying civilization, the sprouts will mature, bloom, and bear fruit. Our job is first to receive them, then to spread them everywhere and to guard and foster them with every ounce of our love.

~ The Three Seeds, by Charles Eisenstein

(K)new Gratitude

Last night I was listening to the 9th CD in the series “Entering the Castle” by Caroline Myss. She said that there are very few people who pray for the earth and all the people, for an end to war, hunger and starvation. Please tell me this isn’t so. I have done this for so long I can’t even remember not doing so. I cannot be the only person who prays for the highest good. This is crazy...it just seems natural to me and I thought everyone did. So I asked my husband and he said he did not. Wow, talk about an eye opener!

Recently I started blessing the water I use and not only that, I blessed all the water in the pipes in my apartment building… When I worked at NSU I asked angels to perform healings on everyone who entered the building I worked in everyday. Every time I hear a siren I pray for those helping and those needing help. There must be others somewhere who also do things like this. Isn’t there? Please tell me there is. I can’t be the only one. I guess I may not know who they are, but I know in my heart of hearts there are others out there sharing their light with world, holding the Light, making it a better place for everyone.

And now I believe more than ever, I must increase my light to help heal the world. I will continue living in gratitude, and sharing my light with the world as I have always done. The is my purpose, I know because I can feel it in my soul, and it has always been my purpose and will continue to be so now and forever.

I am Marsha!

Now crisis is vital to evolution for newness to emerge, and failure is important to prevent the repeat of past mistakes. We are currently in the midst of a transition from a system based on power and control to a system that is inherently emergent and creative. I think this shift needs to be made through the synergistic convergence of the creative and emergent aspects happening in our culture right now.  We need to connect the positive elements in a creative and nonlinear way through novel interactions, just like we are doing in this conversation.

~ Barbara Marx Hubbard

Love, Light, Gratitude

The flame within my heart illuminates the healing path that I now walk with gratitude and love. For many years now I have been using “In light and love” as my closing in emails. Then during my 42 days of writing in the 9th and Final Wave of Gratitude, I added “gratitude.” It has always felt right for me to do so, but it was only just now as I wrote the first sentence of this blog that I knew why.

 

I found the flame in my heart about a year and a half ago when I was listening to one of the meditations in Channeling Grace by Carolyn Myss. It was a time when I was lost in the depths of darkness that can only comes from depression. It was a turning point. I could feel the small flame in my heart, I could see and most importantly, I knew it was there. I kept it burning and allowed it to grow, lighting my path until I could pull myself out of the dark pit of depression.

 

It’s strange how things happen sometimes, but that’s what keeps it interesting. And besides, I love these aha moments! I’m sure that this is how it was supposed to happen, everything I have experienced in my life has perfectly prepared me for this moment, just as it’s supposed to be.

Always with gratitude and a flame in my heart, I am Marsha!
