I thank Life

I thank life for the mystery it brings
the unknown in our paths
excitement and enthusiasm
of what's coming up next

I thank life for difficult and challenging obstacles
thereby inspiring the creativity in me
By overcoming them
leading me to new directions and amazing possibilities
Seeing light and shadows
my talents, strengths and weaknesses
Seeing my true true self

I thank life for each stormy weather pained in grief
Cleansing the earth and air with it's releasing power
Brings with it a gift of renewal
Like a smiling rainbow that ease the heart
Rejoices in playful-colored dancing lights

I thank life for fire of Passive Passion
Bright and hot yet does not burn
Rushes through my blood in red hot fashion
Beating on the heat of my heart

Becoming A-live
Pulsating through my life
Through my very being
flowing from my heart to my soul

I thank life
for uncovering God
I thank God for discovering life

May God fill me with life
May my life be filled with God

Live like You're Dying

"When it's over I want to say: all my life i was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. - MARY OLIVER

Death

In its grandeur, she's the Goddess of Light
cloak in darkness

If You chose her as your constant companion,
You'll love her like none other
For she brings fearlessness and purposefulness,
a touch of authenticity to your life.

She has, chosen You, as her companion
right from the beginning of your birth

She loves you, irregardless of your ignorance,
gender, color,creed, caste, status and religion.
And I love her.
I revel in her. 
I stand before Her in prostration.
She is my religion.
She purifies. She vivifies.
She brings the whole world
to her feet in humbleness.

She brings with Her the greatest Gift of Life
against all other expectations.
Receive her gift with complete acceptance,
And She bestows your Life with radiant wonder

Death is her name
Yet she teaches me to fall in Love with Life
Acquaint with Her at all times,
and life becomes a Miracle.

She teaches me many times about Life,
to open beyond all openness
To connect beyond all connections,
and to love with absolute abandon

I could dive into her arms and let my breathe be the last
But I heard Her uproarious laughter as she enters parts of me
She takes on many guises and comes in many ways
For her loyal friend 'Fear' is always by Her side.

To open to Her to receive her wondrous gift,
we must be willing to be opened to her dearest friend, Fear
Welcome Her, Embrace Her, Rejoice in Her

Death ...
in waking moments.
Each breathe brings Her closer
Each night, in peace She speaks
Listen...
to Her solemn silence
Death
