The Peaceful Wisdom of Nature

Pluck your wisdom and sacred moments from the universal shores of divine blessing.

Judge not the shape of your experience by its pain but instead by its quality and ability to move you and reveal you.

A Prayer for Mankind

And our spirit will arise and fly to the height of the soul,

all within the mind and the consciousness unknown.

Great, wise and bold spirits your lives are now our inspiration.

In silent prayers of meditation and action we acknowledge and celebrate you.

Om...

Just As I Am...All By Myself

All that we experience must be filtered through the 'solitary' self.
In this way, self-care takes its authentic place as part of the daily ritual of awakening the self.
The path of our destiny is the path of our soul expressed through daily thought and action.
Resist not the heart.

Originality

"What already was does not need to be again.
It should be remembered as inspiration, motivation and celebration, but never duplicated.


Be genuine, you are already and original".

Lovers In A Dangerous Time...

What I want to know is...

Can you tell me you love me, not with words but with care?

Can you tell me you love me with a spirit divine and rare?

Can you tell me of your joys?
Can you tell me of your pains?
Can you tell me of your longings?
Can you tell me of your strains?

If any of this you cannot say
Lay your head upon my shoulder and tell me in your own way...
Tell me about your love, that of a royal kind
Tell me about our love, with your body, spirit and mind.

This is for the love of you.

Prayer For My Angels...

© Pollard

Angels are not perfect, they are loving.

They work hard for our dreams, our fears and our humanity.

They take the shape of our most brilliant intentions and our most brutal failures.

Angels hold no vision of their own.

They accumulate and disperse the light of our hope and aspirations.

Angels have walked everywhere we have and cannot go where we have not, whether in our minds, bodies or souls.

My angels I honour your caring hands, your silent patience, your invisible worship, your whispered encouragement and your eternal commitment of serve and non-judgment.
You make my light worth living.

If Today Was Your Last Day...Apologies

This being my last day I just wanted to say...I love you in the following way:

I am sorry I could not be everything you wanted
I am sorry I could not be everything you needed
I am sorry I could not give you everything you wanted
I am sorry I could not give you everything you needed

I am sorry for not always listening to you
I am sorry for not always hearing you
I am sorry I did not always give you my best
I am sorry I did not always try my best for you

I am sorry I took you for granted
I am sorry that I was not enough

I am sorry that I hurt you
I am sorry for ever wanting to hurt you
I am sorry that I caused you pain

I am sorry that I loved another
I am sorry that I sought another

I am sorry that I could not help you achieve your dream

I am sorry for my silence when you needed sound
I am sorry for my fears when you needed courage
I am sorry for being a boy when you needed a man
I am sorry for the many times I've said "No", when I knew you needed a "Yes"

I am sorry for not doing all the things I said I would
I am sorry for not always doing the things that I knew I could do

I am sorry I lied
I am sorry I made you cry
I am sorry I disappointed you
I am sorry I embarrassed you
I am sorry I ever judged you
I am sorry that I kept many of my secrets from you
I am sorry that I was not all that I promised I would be
I am sorry that I did not "let you in"

I am sorry I did not hug you more
I am sorry I did not love you more
I am sorry I did not say all of this to you before
Thank you for sharing in my life.

I love you.

Law of Attraction & Radiance...

The universal energy of all things move through and around all of us.
It does so with no intention or purpose, until such is granted by our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions.

Be aware of what you are creating, attracting, keeping and radiating via the energies of thoughts and actions.

The use of the energies to consciously and unconsciously design your life is a great gift and a great responsibility.

It is the gift of creation, healing, destruction, joy or whatever our need of the moment is.

Don't just 'be' but 'be' with awareness.
