Love Is Not A Whisper Or A Weakness

Don't give up
I know you can see
All the world and the mess that were making
Can't give up
And hope God will intercede
Come on back
Imagine that we could get it together
Stand up for what we need to be
Cause crying won't save or feed a hungry child
Can't lay down and hope for miracles change things
So lift up your eyes
Lift up your heart

Singing mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need

Me and you and you and you
Just want to be free yeah
But you see all the world is just as we've made it
And until we got a new world

We have got to save it
Got to say that love is not a whisper or a weakness
No love is strong
So we got to get together yeah
Gotta get gotta get gotta get
Til there is no reason
To fight

Mercy will we overcome this
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need

Yeah...
Ah...
Oh...
Yeah...

Mercy will we overcome this
Or we come to far to turn it around
Oh and asked too much to be a little bit stronger
But I want to give you what you need

Mercy what will become of us
Oh one by one could we turn it around
Maybe carry on just a little bit longer
And I try to give you what you need...

We are the heart, we are the hands,
We are the voice of Spirit on Earth,
And who we are, and all we do,
Is a blessing to the world.

Act On Your Inspiration 

Vitality is the Presence of God

Vitality is an energy which SHINES.

Every month at #CSLCV, Church of Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley, we have a theme which all the Sunday services revolved around.

Vitality has been the theme for August and I have found it a more potent idea than I had previously considered. In fact Vitality has given me food for thought.

"The natural vitality is the presence of God and it flows through us."

"That feeling, that is the presence of God. That is who you truly are. That shining presence in you is the presence of God."

Vitality to me has meant energy, a natural healthy energy, a fueling energy which helps me accomplish, a sustaining energy which gives me strength.

But to think of Vitality literally as the presence of God within oneself led me to think about our responsibility to nurture that Vitality, that God source which we experience and that we have the responsibility to share.

Those of us who come from the Christian tradition have certainly heard some version of Matthew 5:15 which in the King James Bible says, "Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under a bushel, but on a lamp stand; and it gives light unto all that are in the house."

And so to nurture ourselves in a healthy way, eating life sustaining food, participating in healthy activities, following our creative passions, letting our best self shine forth is expressing God or Universal Consciousness or whatever you feel comfortable calling it.

To shine is our natural calling.

You are God in the Dance of Life

Omnipotence is not knowing how everything is done; it's just doing it. ~Alan Watts

You are the heart, you are the hands, you are the voice of Spirit on Earth. 
All that you are, all that you do is a blessing to the world.

The Sky Sparkles with Diamonds - Spiritual Guidance in the Sky

Today I opened a belated birthday present. It was a beautiful necklace reminding me to "sparkle."
On the back of this beautifully-wrapped gift was this quote:

"We shall find peace.  We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds." Anton Chekhov

Immediately after opening the gift, I went outside to walk the dog.  I looked up, and saw this pic:

It looks like a left angel wing to me.  Today the sky really was sparkling with "diamonds."
