Are You Leading With Your Heart?

 

Fear knocked on the door and Love answered...No one was there*

When they are not allowed to ask

And threatened to “obey”

A child can lose the will to think

Explore and laugh and play

 

A child can lose the sense of trust

That comes from deep within

When told that they are not enough

And full of shame and sin

 

The child then leans on anything

To feel good and belong

And never questions leadership

They will just tag along

 

Learning how to walk behind

Is all they ever knew

And follow into lockstep ways

While  grief and anger grew

 

Now God and priest and government

Now doctors, teachers too

Behold the mind that never asked

And now believes in you

 

Were you the child that dared to stand

And build the world with heart?

Did you step out and feel the sun

While others stood apart?

 

Did you exhaust the endless ways

To understand new things

Or did you just accept what was

To avoid the stress this brings?

 

Now all of those who make the rules

Discern and look again:

Are you leading with your heart

Or just avoiding pain?

 If you haven't been absolutely mind-boggled by many choices and policies coming into place in most areas of life and been bamboozled by the flip-flopping of rule makers regarding education, health, government,and social policy, then perhaps this reflective poem may not penetrate your understanding as deeply as those of us who have been forced to look more closely at what is motivating many of these decisions being made.  Is it fear, greed, confusion, compliance or something else?  We must look beyond what the mainstream is willing to reveal and observe more closely...starting with ourselves and what we are willing to accept and embody.  It starts wth how well we know ourselves... understanding what freedom means and knowing how fear can be a major driving force for influencing  our behaviour.

Stay strong fellow peace- makers and lovers of freedom and beauty.  Remember to hold a clear and powerful vision of the life you idealize and keep creating ways to activate this.  

May you be guided by the Truth of your Hearts,

Ganga

 

* Ancient Saying

The Breaking Down is a Breaking Open...

 

There is always so much more going on than we know...

    

It is the time of surrendering

All the greatness we thought to possess

Now finds humility at the feet of limitless Perfection

Ever unfolding in harmonic resilience and wholeness

 

It is the time to let go of deep attachment

To a yesterday which no longer serves

Open our hands to receive the new day

In all its immensity and mysterious fertility

 

It is a time of deep listening to the undercurrents

Feel the flow of of new songs lifting our hearts

Annihilate the pain of wounds still healing

With the joy of knowing we are the Love we seek

 

It’s a time of gathering courage when uncertainy lingers

Knowing that the way opens when we start to feel ourselves

Relying on the greatest and most sacred energy within

Pulsating our way forward to be lit up and known

 

It is a time to redefine what is beautiful and essential

What is worthy of our time and attention

What calls our hearts to dance its freedom and joy

Lay the foundations for the next generations

 

It is a time of profound change and rebalancing

Of tumultuous breaking down and shattering

Of rigid thoughts no longer able to endure

While the  Water of Life cleanses a new dream

 

…Just there on the horizon

…Just there in your feeling heart

…Just there in the ache to know your true self

Are all the outcomes of an emerging planet

Spinning out of a new Vision

Activated in every cell of our very Being

Hello fellow peace-warriors and dreamers.  Remember you are not alone.

It's a strange age of leaders and followers and many of us are digging in deeply to find the Truth within ourselves.  Stress and anxiety always comes when we do not listen to that inner voice which tells us that something is not quite right but we decide to ignore it and follow the crowd.  Do not be afraid of what is in your heart.  You have deep innate wisdom that is just aching to be remembered.  Take time to open yourself up to that knowing and the relief will come.  You are not alone.  Your eyes will light up and you will all be recognized in that vibration.

Within each of us is a vital part of a new dream waiting to take shape.

Stay in the Light.

Keep Loving.

Find strength and comfort in every breath.

Listen to that still small voice within.

May the Truth be with you always.

Ganga
