THE GREEN PLANET (my gift to you)


THE GREEN PLANET
(my gift to you)

What can we do today
to let true love and light flow?
What can we do today
to show the way
and change the Universe?

Rise with the sun
Run with the wind
Clap like the thunder
Flash like the lightening
Feel the grass between our toes.

Kiss a frog, hug a tree?  
Watch the feral cat rolling
and playing in the grass
showing you he/she is alive and
in need of your love.

Love the image in the mirror
Smile and say hello
Forget hate and anger
Where did it even go?
It can’t be found anywhere.

Ask what is lacking
and the answer will be
not money, not material things
but love and laughter
and the joining of things.

Fly around your day
on the wings of the butterfly
landing here and darting there
with laughter in your eyes
tasting all the goodness of life.

And when you know you’ve arrived
nothing else matters.
If there are tears in your eyes
you know you have survived
the meaningless and found yourself beneath it.

Let it be okay that I show up as Me;
Not some arrangement you have created
to remain hidden from my brightness
from my glory and heaven boundless
It’s just a smile of inner light.

And all those who loved
and have gone on
Aunt Ellen, Jimi Hendrix
Someone you have known
will welcome your arrival

and send light to your soul
And all you do will shimmer
from a special place that is only you
No one else can be you
No one else can be me

Everyone has their special gift to bring
And if you don’t judge it and
just let it be – their gift will
rise above and sink below
and bring growth to every living thing

Jesus said, judge not that you be not judged
So how can you judge me unworthy
He said, go and understand what this means
Follow that same energy of joy and grace
and you will do greater things!

Think – the breath of life. When breath is gone
the body dies, so let it all breathe
Take it in deeply and let go of the poison
of prevention of what life is supposed to be!
It’s all connected, so what will you bring?

What can we bring to life
If we focus on death and disease?
It can be a part of you if you choose
but I don’t want it to be a part of me
If you diagnose me – diagnose me as FREE!

If you analyze me and I’ve done nothing to you
Except show up, be different, be me
Then energy is wasted if you want to cage me
judge me as crazy and toss me aside
when you are done  - who can toss aside the SUN?!

So breathe. Don’t forget to breathe.
And as you breathe, breathe in the grace and
dignity that allows love and compassion and creativity;
the joy and ability to create life anew as we
expand each day without judging it, just living it, just loving it!
