LET PEACE BEGIN

ON THE PHONE TO GOD ALONE

Here I sit in gratitude
Gratitude for God words
Adjusting my attitude
Love instead of swords

How I feel, I freely choose
Based upon my thoughts
So full of love, I brightly ooze
Clearing many oughts

Open to advice, assistance
Not being alone
Not good enough, sought resistance
Mind now clearly owned

Owned by me and not by you
Mass consciousness, free, zone
Now in Presence asking too
Freedom on the phone

MARY'S SONG

I am all those things you see
In the centre of your mind
Only this identity
One individuality

I am all you think I am
I am your belief in mind
Thinking thoughts of flim flam
Individual person slam

Gratitude for your view
How else can i know me
No-me not separate from You
The way of it, One mind ensue

QUESTION THREE OF "THE WORK"

Three, the key
Inward aware,
In body be
Feelings are there

In the stillness
There you find
Sensing Presence
What's in mind

Watch your world
As it happens
Life believed
Thought passions

Again and again
Follow direction
Mind discharged
The next question

THINKING AWAY

The easy way, what is this?
Is it peace, a kind of bliss?
Or is it freedom from the suffering
Created by pleaded buffering

Resistance in the way of You
I know better, I THINK I do
Stately imposed ego control
No-me watching loving soul

Lying there, endless night
Thinking what I thought was "right"
Unable to relax control
Better suffering than One whole

Better to be a burrowing mole
Than boundless freedom rock'n'roll?
Light embraced, take the chance
Freedom on the wings of dance

Dancing butterfly in the air
Wait - the hummingbird is there
Accepting nectar from the rose
Vibrating higher, poetry chose

The easy way, the open door
Stepping out, writing the score
Such joy in each songs surround
Dear one, lovingly found

SUFFERING IN MIND

At this time of year I hear
"Too much on my mind"
This constructed out of fear
Thoughts not left behind

Headed toward a future sought
Full of could and should
Influenced by past thought bought
Present misunderstood

How we think we feel controlled
Believing all we're told
When change pops up, we behold
Unsustainable mold

INSIDE OUT

Presence in this Heavenletter
Speaking out to me
Oh, how I want to tell some others
How I think they should be

One-belief-at-a-time-worksheet
Printed out, fill in
Many options for belief
Instead of outside in

Going deep inside myself
Answering the questions
Mind reprogramming itself
New thought suggestions

Then in such peace awareness slide
Inside settling in
Loving in the now provide
Comfort home begin

Then look around welcome outside
All I thought was wrong
Welcome as those thought were me
Inside all along

SUFFERING IN THE NAME OF LOVE

Worrying, considered a virtuous sport
Out of love, that word contort
Keeping self from going inside
Finding out what there does provide

Inside, the vastness of who we are
Judging feels much better by far
Self awarness avoided out there
Continuous music beliefs you dispair

Separation entrenched in the mind
Seeking outside always to find
Justifying it all as love
The me supplanting the wings of the Dove

Of course this is all in the mind
Nothing has power over God kind
It's only the suffering if we choose
The sin of believing our own news
