I am beginning to realize the many gifts of the wedding season of last year. Now that I have rested, regrouped and breathed deeply into this new year I can look back in great wonder. I was guided again and again into Self Love as the answer to my overwhelm, my tired, my juggling……..and it worked every time. The ROI (Return On Investment) of Self Love is surely more than 100% if that is even possible to measure. I have mentioned before how much Spirit loves to speak to my heart through poetry. These two poems somehow answered my heart’s silent question of “Is it all worth it?”
“ROI”
What do you give
to the woman who is
everything?
Permission, insistence, opportunity, welcome & reverence
Permission
Insistance
Opportunity
Welcome
Reverence
Be your Self
in all things
in all situations
in all relationships
“I am there too”
Love whispers
tenderly
This next poem came out of the flurry of RSVP’s we were receiving re the wedding invitation when I realized we are ALL invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb, where our vision of God sits right down next to our vision of our selves and sups together forever more.
“Meet Me At The Wedding Supper”
Meet me at the wedding supper
the venue is set
flowers are all arranged
music is playing
Who will come today?
Everyone is invited,
who will come today?
Some know right away
it is not the right time
and RSVP, “No, thanks.”
Some say “YES of course!”
though are so excited they forget
to return the RSVP
Some say “Yes…..but,
I may need to change my mind later”
Some are in crisis and can’t
Join me…
imagine a world where frivolity
and celebration reign
so “Decline, regretfully.”
The bride and groom (God & me) are already there
waiting to celebrate
and be celebrated
All guests and hosts
The miracle of our togetherness….
Come as you are
in celebration and acceptance
Sing, dance, eat, drink
laugh, talk, whistle, giggle
looke, see, listen, hear
The miracle of our togetherness
revealed
