"Listening. Playing. What I Hear."

I Am Listening.
To that quiet tune in my head;
Then simply,
Playing. What I Hear.

I Am Listening.
To the words, that so magically appear, to my silent mind;
Then simply,
Playing. What I Hear.

I Am Listening.
To those powerful feelings (messages) in my heart;
Then simply,
Playing. What I Hear.

I Am Listening.
To what I know to be true, for me, in my Life.
Then simply,
Playing. What I Hear.

I Am Listening.
Trusting in the gifts of my grateful instrument.
Then simply,
Playing. What I Hear.

I Am Listening.
To that beautiful calling of purpose and meaning.
Then simply,
Playing. What I Hear.

I Am Listening.
To the peace... and quiet;
The calm, and deafening silence,
that guides, serves, and fulfills;
Then simply,
Effortlessly;
Playing. What I Hear.

In humble gratitude.

"Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down."

In times of uncertainty, doubt, and sadness;
I remind myself of the importance of,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When I Am confused, alone, and feeling lost;
I must stay present, at peace, and in the moment,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When I Am unsure, indecisive, and afraid;
I must trust in my universe, my blessings and my beliefs,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When I Am feeling empty, pain, or disappointment;
I must look around me, recognize the beauty, and all that is good,
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

When there is darkness, or feelings of hurt or despair;
I can remain positive and grateful, and see (clearly) the light;
For every - thing, always happens for the right reason, and as it should.
There is meaning, purpose, a path to walk, and there most certainly is..
A beautiful and positive way to Be;
Staying. Up. When I Am. Feeling. Down.

In humble gratitude.

"Living. For Today."

I am not letting yesterday,
take up too much of my today;
When I am..
Living. For Today.

I am focused on these present moments,
at peace and aligned;
When I am..
Living. For Today.

I am not getting too far ahead of myself,
only allowing, (all things) to fall perfectly into place;
When I am..
Living. For Today.

I am prioritizing, slowing it all down,
breathing, allowing, and being... more clear;
When I am..
Living. For Today.

I am celebrating, feeling more free,
happy, joyful, and on purpose;
When I am..
Living. For Today.

I am grateful for all the lessons of my past,
and excited about the discoveries of my future;
"Only"
When I am..
Living. For Today.

In humble gratitude.
