Eagle Eye Spirit Works

100th Blog Post.

In celebration of my 100th Eagle Eye Sprit Works blog post,

I would like to offer (in celebration) a poetic tribute to my Mother, 

Mary Docksteader, for this beautiful drawing she has done for 

me. It is an original work born with love from her heart and 

I have titled it "Eagle Spirit." Thank you Mom for your love 

and support... and thank you to all my family and friends who 

continue to love and encourage me on my journey of inspiration.

                          Eagle Spirit

                                                       Mary Docksteader        

                       May you carry the vision of

                                 the Eagle Spirit;

                              The strength to soar

                                 on Eagle's wings.

                And the belief, courage, and wisdom

                                        to Fly;

                                 High, graceful 

                                      and Free.

 Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 20.

Through the inspirations of my spiritual mentor Dr. Wayne Dyer,
I have undertaken this year, (as he did in 2006), the teachings of the
eighty-one verses of the "Tao Te Ching." Legend says that the "Tao"
(pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu" some five
hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretation of the words
Tao is "The Way" Te is "The Shape and Power" and Ching is "The Book."
It has been called "one of the profoundest books in world philosophy."
For my references I have been studying the interpretations and teachings of
Dr. Dyer from his book "Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life."
In the spirit of Eagle Eye, here is my inspired (poetic) interpretation of
Verse 20.

                            Acceptance


               Accept that which is offered,
                completely free of all worldly cares.
           See, feel, absorb, that beautiful light that shines;
            to the deepest places of your heart's existence.


        Strive no more, the hurried efforts without reward.
       Relax the weary mind of worry... that trys too hard.
       Release the dark grasp for that struggle which is not;
   and accept the simplicity of all that is... this perfect moment.


        For the here is now, it's arrival pure, and nourishing,
                like the first rays of a warm summer's sun,
  it's arms open, embracing the acceptance of it's peaceful knowing;
          it's Source fulfilled, and in harmony with an inner peace.


                         Bear witness to the surrender,
              the simple allowing, of what once was strived;
            now let go, the ego's fear, torn down this moment,
           by trust, belief, and the brilliance that is... beautiful;
                                      Acceptance.

                  Unattached


                   See life clearly;
                      unattached,
                 it's purpose Divine;
                           free,
          of the shackles of form and rule.
                    

                      Casting away,
            all judgements and pressure;
                        dispensing,
      the darkness of meaningless attachments,
         to systems, codes, and precedence.
                        

                        Cultivating,
          nurturing, caring and unconditional;
            the abundant and fruitful garden,
                of it's true sacred nature.
                      

                           Trusting,
            the impeccability of the loving,
                 and ever giving Source,
           of honour, divinity and equality.
                      

                       Perfectly centred,
                         it's spirit lives;
                    within all it's beauty,
        integrity, simplicity, and higher principle.
                      

                       Living generously,
                       it's natural dance;
        beautiful streams overflowing her banks
             of faith, discovery, and belief.
                        

                    Feeling harmonious,
              the balance of it's quiet truth,
                           unspoken;
         the consciousness of an inner peace,
                    living... beautifully,
                        Unattached.

             A greatness, where actions arise,
      peacefully, and in harmony, with one's heart.

              Every life led, simply, honestly,
          without need for edict or governance.
           This is "the Way." A place of virtue,
       trust, and love for everyone...and everything.

            Responsible choices of kind and just,
                 with an unlimited abundance,
               of joy, kindness, and well being,
                       flowing through all.

                  See that oneness for yourself.

Living Inspired in the Desert.

As I prepare for my trip back home I find my latest source
of inspiration coming to me from my daily walks, basking in the
warm and sunny weather, and taking in all of the intoxicating beauty of
the surrounding Desert. One of my favourite vistas is the
incredible beauty that is... the "Shadow Magic" of the local mountains.
A couple of years ago I had the good fortune to acquire a beautiful
piece of art, done by a good friend of mine and my Mom, (Jill Charuk)
while she was vacationing here in the Palm Desert area. She brilliantly
captured these extraordinary shadows, and her lovely work, which I have
selfishly titled... "Shadows of the Santa Rosas"...hangs proudly in the living
room of our Desert home. Jill's incredible artistic gift, her passion for
bright colours, and happy, uplifting, and inspirational works, are on
display on her website at www.jillcharuk.com.
I encourage you to check out her art, and with thanks to Jill for her inspiration,
here is my inspired poetic version of..."The Shadows of the Santa Rosas."

                        Shadows of the Santa Rosas

                                       Quiet the seductive tones,                                                
                                                     whisper;
                                               the gentle voices
                                            of her humble beauty.

                             Mystically drawn, her dark shadowy veils,
                                                       speak;
                                    in silhouette upon the jagged walls
                                           of a bold and rugged face.

                                    Long, cool rivers of sheltered light,
                                                     cascading;
                                       like tall waterfalls of protection
                                    from the blaze of a hot Desert sun.

                                    Magically, mysteriously her colours,
                                                        change;
                                      the kaleidoscope, it's hues awash
                                           to a floor of sand and palm.

                                          Peacefully, with open arms,
                                                       welcoming;
                                           all who see...and appreciate
                                     this most natural gift of her existence.

                                                        In gratitude,
                                                            simply;
                                             she is, the most heavenly;

               a quiet confidence...
        an empowered environment,
           of trust and responsibility.

 Speaking little, while listening intently,
    the greatest teachers allow, inspire,

         For the greatest leadership lies within;

Living The Wisdom of The Tao.
Verse 16.

Through the inspirations of my spiritual mentor Dr. Wayne Dyer,
I have undertaken this year, (as he did in 2006), the teachings of the
eighty-one verses of the "Tao Te Ching." Legend says that the "Tao"
(pronounced "Dao") was written by the prophet "Lao-tzu" some five
hundred years before the birth of Christ. The interpretations of the words
Tao is "The Way" Te is "The Shape and Power" and Ching is "The Book."
It has been called "one of the profoundest books in world philosophy."
For my references I have ben studying the interpretations and teachings of
Dr. Dyer from his book "Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life."
In the spirit of Eagle Eye, here is my inspired (poetic) interpretation of
Verse 16.


                   Constant


          Endings become beginnings
        and beginnings become endings.
                  For this is Constant.

        Everything eternal, everlasting,
             and in a Constant cycle.
               Forever changing;
            The coming and going,
      on purpose...aligned and in balance.
                This is the nature of
                       Constancy.

          Allow it, harmonize with it,
        trust it, and simply let it become
                      Constant.

                Constant change,
          brings everything a new...
   and then returns it... gracefully to it's
                     Source.

          Live consciously and know,
      that the only thing that is Constant,
                 in the Universe,
                   is what "IS"
                          is
                     Constant.
               And what is to "BE"
                          is    
                     Constant.

                       Unhurried


            Patiently, the Unhurried waits.
          It's wisdom, subtle, yet profound.
               Yielding quietly, slowly,
                   like muddy waters
                   that become clear,
              when allowed to be stilled
                     and left to settle.

            Do not rush, the early ripening
         for the fruit is best, when left to be;
                       Until it's time.
                  Relax the simple state
                      and let it flow.
                 Witness the unfolding,
               of all it's unlimited potential.

                      Observe the peace,
                          Unhurried...
                   and a destiny fulfilled,
                in harmony and in gratitude
                  for it's willingness eternal.

                         Stop the chase...
                  It see's within, and trusts,
                     the gentleness that is...
                              "The Way;"
                              Unhurried.

Verse 14.

                         Beyond


                            Beyond...
             the space that cannot be seen,
                        felt, or heard.
                            Invisible...
                      it is always there;
                     A one... untouched.
                      From now here..
                             It returns,
                  to it's pure and graceful;
                          Nothingness.
        
        Beyond knowing...and not knowing,
                    all in harmony with
                          "the Way."

              Beyond has no beginning,
                     and sees no end.
     Immeasurable, shapeless and bottomless.
            Yet perfectly connected to it's
                                 One.
                              
                     Like an endless sea,
               Beyond the distant horizon;
             It's mystical - magical - powers
                               Eternal
                          in it's "being."

          Embrace the infinite nature of it's
                            Foreverness.
                            See Beyond,
           that which the "eyes" cannot see.
                             And Bask
              in the Divine magnificence,
                      of ALL that truly is;
                              Beyond.
