remedies for the spirit

The intellect is helpful but wisest is the heart;
Always there to guide, both compassionate and smart.
The brain can’t study kindness or what feels wrong or right.
The mind can’t study joy, full of hope and light.
The heart holds our emotions. Emotions are the keys
To unlocking all the answers, found with love and ease.
The intellect is helpful but wisest is the heart;
Always there to teach, both compassionate and smart.
The brain can’t study passion or what feels good and true.
The mind can’t study faith or what a leap can do.
The heart holds our emotions. Emotions are the keys
To unlocking all the answers, found with love and ease.

Wisest Is The Heart
Thank you for your courage to walk the earth each day;
How loved you are by God, “more than words can say.”
A reason you are here, another breath to take;
Purpose that’s divine, a difference you will make.
Such a beautiful soul, compassionate and kind;
The world needs more like you, a dear and precious find.
More people like you, more love and grace;
More people like you, a better place.

A Difference You Will Make
Grab Your Crown
If you’re waiting for someone else to decree your royalty,
Forever you’ll be waiting, for they have not authority.
It’s up to you to grab your crown, always there within your reach.
It’s up to you to grab your crown, designed specifically for each.
Know it’s there for when you’re ready, then simply put it on your head.
You are God’s son. You are God’s daughter. A King. A Queen. Born and bred.
If you expect a coronation, some pomp and circumstance,
You will be sorely disappointed, and you’ll miss another chance.
It’s up to you to grab your crown, always there within your reach.
It’s up to you to grab your crown, designed specifically for each.
Know it’s there for when you’re ready, then simply put it on your head.
You are God’s child. You are cherished. Always loved and always led.

The Wheel
The wheel of self-forgiveness continues to turn and turn.
Hitch a ride in any “now.” No suffering. Just learn. Just learn.
Learning and experiencing is what life is all about.
Find freedom from enslavement through forgiveness. Day in and day out.
Learn to be what you want to attract. Let go of guilt and shame.
Resonate with forgiveness. It is always there to claim.
The wheel of self-forgiveness continues to turn and turn.
Hitch a ride in any “now.” No suffering. Just learn. Just learn.
Hell on earth is not warranted for a temporary state.
Forgive yourself and others. Forgive everything and do not wait.
Learn to be what you want to attract. Let go of “shoulds” and regret.
Resonate with forgiveness. Hitch a ride on the wheel and reset.

Miracle
I want to give you a miracle, surrender, let go, and believe.
I want to give you a miracle, surrender, let go, and receive.
Focus on right now, be present, become aware,
Give yourself a break, relax, it’s already there.
The state of pure intention, God’s love will lead and guide.
The state of pure intention, where all miracles reside.
I want to give you a miracle, surrender, let go, and believe.
I want to give you a miracle, surrender, let go, and receive.
Focus on right now, with truth and God’s way become one,
Give yourself a break, rest assured, it’s already done.
The state of pure intention, God’s love will lead and guide.
The state of pure intention, where all miracles reside.

Morning Birds
Chirps of wisdom and chirps of joy, just listen to them sing;
Morning birds with sounds of notice of the hopeful birthing Spring.
A new season, new beginnings from smart birdies in the know
Bidding farewell to the “ebb” and welcoming the “flow.”
They realize all is well and that everything is okay.
They are confident in their song, praising God and a new day.
Chirps of wisdom and chirps of joy, just listen to them sing;
Morning birds with sounds of notice of the hopeful birthing Spring.
A new spirit, a new faith, fresh new fragrances in the breeze;
Loving birds of warmth and light putting everyone at ease.
They realize all is well and that everything is okay.
They are confident in their song, announcing sunshine on its way.
