In action find stillness.
Seek the simple kernel
At the heart of every matter.
See the greatness in a small kindly gesture.
Make forgiveness your intention
And your enemies your allies.
Love is perceived in all you meet.
Civilized man, afraid of natures simplicity
Creates complex problems;
The healer creates wholeness
By loving whomever God has put in his way.
When there is trust, promises are not required
And the difficult challenge is met with joy.
Namaste with Love
Always

My Dear Friends,
I was blessed to be drawn to this wonderful video poem by Jamie Dunmore, his message is clear as he speaks to the world as a ‘Human Being’ asking us a simple question…What Will You Do?
Please take the time to watch this wonderful short video and please share with your networks because it is indeed ‘Time For Change’
Namaste with Love
Always

My eyes are closed and I’m safe and sound
Safe inside my own private world
My senses on high alert
As I commence my daily meditation
The sound of silence fills my ears
My breath slow and deep
My chest rising and falling
In synch with the beat of my heart
My back straight and my legs crossed
I sit and gaze into nothingness
My hands at rest upon my thighs
As I slowly enter my world of calm
My Garden of Eden, my tranquil place
I walk amongst friends here with nothing to fear
The light is bright and the sounds of happiness abound
The softness of the grass as my feet kiss the ground
Children at play, their laughter fills the air
The sounds of birds in song, fish splashing in the tranquil pools
The fresh mountain breeze rustles the leaves on the trees
Perfection on earth as Mother Earth intended
Smiles and Joy are for everyone here
No pressure, no stress, no competition allowed
Only compassion, peace and love
Humanity and nature living together as one
One Earth, One Humanity, One Love
In my world everyone is allowed
No chains, no suffering, no hunger
Only Love, One Love, Unconditional Love
Namaste with Love
Always

Communication and The Lost Art of Conversation
I’m here in a restaurant, no one is talking
Heads down
Peering into their hands
Their iPhone, their iPad, their electronic Screens
The screen that takes them away from reality
To other worlds of fantasy of dreams
Are they free or caught in a trap?
The world of lost communication, of direction being re-directed
Friends, families and loved ones
All heads down, fingers moving swiftly, click, click click
Sitting together with no conversation, no signs of life
All lost in their own little world
Worlds of self
Worlds of fantasy
Worlds of intrigue
Worlds of gossip
No love, no compassion, no cares here
In and out, one sight then the next
Moving on with no loyalty and no love lost
Today number one, tomorrow dead and gone
No face-to-face communication, no words spoken
Growing up, and growing old
No life skills, no interaction
All signs of visible life are lost
Confusion reigns and body language gone
The selfie to show whom you are
But are you that selfie or is it fake
Your alter Ego taking control
Where will it end?
The corporations richer, manipulating our fingers to their hearts desire
More controls over us, our thoughts, our lives
The lost art of communication
The End
Namaste with Love
Always

My Dear Friends,
Today I went inside my head
Closed my eyes and took a breath
I can feel the coolness of the air as it enters my nose
And the warmth as it exits my mouth
Slow and deep breaths I take
In and hold
Out and hold
Paying attention to the now
How do I feel, what do I feel
Oh there’s a thought
Say hi and thank you
But your not needed now, so please go away
The pure new energy is entering my lungs
Fueling my heart
Into my bloodstream
Passing through my body like cars on a highway
Into my arms, my hands and my fingers
Rushing through my body
To every organ, to every cell
Nourishing me as it makes its way
But how do I feel..
At peace for now
Deeper and deeper I go
Into my mind
To a place where I’m safe
My tranquil place
My garden of truth
My home
No one can touch me here
It’s for me and for me alone
My dreams are here
I’m loved here
I can stay or I can return
It’s my choice
It’s my life
My meditation
Namaste With Love
Always
Mark
There it sits in all its glory
Perfect pink petals open to the world for all to see
It’s center core burning bright and golden like the sun,
Its stamen fluttering like ballerina’s dancing in the gentle breeze, attracting Bees
Pollination is its goal and its final destination in life
Born from the murky depths of the lake entrapped in mud
Until one day, life awakens its core and the journey to the surface begins
A gentle bud pushing away the mud, rising up to reach the sky
Onward and upward it grows, rising up to break the surface and out into the air, to take its first breath
The coolness of the morning dew settles on the newly formed leaves as they open and spread their way under the jewel, the flower to be
Dragonflies dance from leaf to leaf, butterflies come and go and golden fish play their games of hide and seek below
The time has come; the grand opening is here, the splash of colour, the gentleness, the joy,
The happiness and smiles on the faces of those who see its birth
Its beauty, its simplicity, its colour, its texture
The Lotus,
A flower worthy of the Buddha
The seat of enlightenment
Nature’s perfection, a gift from high.
Namaste with Love
Always
Mark
Endless Light and Love
