If God is invisible, something invisible can't see itself. That's why we were made. So that He could see reflections of Himself in us! Just as we have to create things like art, songs, stories, and music to express the innermost parts of ourselves, so too does God in all these things that are made and yet to be made. Every time you create anything, He gets to share in that experience. Remember that all true wisdom has two sides. The other side of this truth is that you get to feel what it's like when He creates! That happiness you feel is the exact same spirit of joy He felt with the first spark of creation. He continues to share in and share with us in this beautiful emotion.

Meet Your Maker
He made us, but we can make things for Him to enjoy, places for him to dwell in. He can choose to dwell or enthrone Himself wherever He feels honored. This can be in your body, your home, anywhere you choose to meet with the creator. I think this simple and empowering truth will make you happy and even happier when you apply it. Next time you create, sing, dance, write, paint, draw, build, cook, or anything, invite Him and ask to borrow His widsom of creation and you will be surprised at outcome.
You're unique just like everyone else.
All of us were made by God. Meditate on that. On one hand, you should feel unique, special and divine. And you are! On the other hand, so is everyone else around you. You're unique. . . just like everyone else. What a beautiful paradox. Some of them know it and some don't. Some of them act it, and some don't. Shouldn't we treat God's creations, and I mean one-of-a-kind, handcrafted creations, with respect? Be careful with each other. Don't tear each other down or chip away at anyone's spirit. Look out for each other. If you see someone falling apart, a heart breaking, or hope melting away, do what you can to fix it. No matter how many pieces are in the most complex puzzle, it's the one missing or out of place that catches the eye and deserves attention.

My Source, Power and Inner-Voice
Disclaimer: The following words come from a humble heart and not an arrogant head.
I believe these words and my songs to be "keys" placed into my hands by God. I believe these things were entrusted to me so we all could share awareness at its highest, most-abundant level. It is not right that I keep wisdom to myself. Freely I have received, freely I give all that I know. We will soon share in its full power, full potential and full resources to do the greatest of things imaginable! So, thank you God for using me to carry out your good plan. It is by my will that I do this. Not by force, but by choice. I fully surrender my mind to your voice. Now, what shall I tell those who are as curious of your wisdom as I?

Dancing with the Stars
You may have heard the constant radio frequency of a star exploding and imploding upon itself as a constant or consistent clicking. The truth is that they all make sound. And, together those sounds make harmony. And those harmonies make music. And, it is all set to motion. . . a "dance". As the planets rotate and the galaxies turn, they dance to the music in which they all take part. Our ears can't hear the symphony of the universe while we yet remain in this world. Our finest technologies might give us a crude representation of this beautiful song (one star at a time). But, it will be only that, a crude recording of nowhere near the beauty and majesty of the creation in its whole. Why not train our hearts and minds to use all that is available to us to listen and piece together the notes within earshot?
Wakeup Sleepy Squirrel!
Time to rise
with sleepy eyes
with sleepy eyes
cause baby cries
for what she spies
<}{>
Little furry
Feet that scurry
Quick to hurry
Away from worry
<}{>
With gentle sighs
Peek at the skies
Then off she flies
To get the prize
<}{>
She must be bold
And brave the cold
To find some gold
Her teeth can hold
Yes, of course I will be illustrating this poem. :) This is only the beginning of the story. . .
