About the Poetry

All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog. The last poems received are displayed below on this page, but the entire collection of 365+ poems are archived here in the left-hand column. You can search by topic or keyword using the search box in the upper left corner. May you find among them just the right message which speaks to your heart.

Poem #307 - Living in the Now

From Show Low, Arizona

Peering into the future …
What will happen you can only guess.
Of the past you know so many things,
But of the future far, far less.

Why do you try to see it?
What’s the treasure that lies there?
When in this very moment
Is where you should place your care.

For what lies in the future
Is that which hasn’t happened yet.
And what has happened in the past
You so quickly do forget.

The future could go any way.
So many choices guide your course.
All outcomes rest in how you think,
For your thoughts are future’s source.

So keep your thoughts on “here and now”
Where you participate.
For it’s all these present moments
Which your future do create.

The future will reveal itself
If you will learn to fully trust
And leave the past behind you
Where it can rightly gather dust.

But now is what’s important.
It’s where the focus you should give
And concentrate on being here
For here is where you truly live.

    Past can be remembered.
    Future can be anticipated.
    But the present....IS.

    Be aware of your awareness.

    "So many choices guide your course."

    We truly are co-creators with Spirit as we walk our paths into the future. Focus on today's choices and seek guidance from within...we are creating tomorrow's reality.

    On to living today with joy, love, and gratitude as we walk with trust in the light...
