Peace of Prosperity

Peace of Prosperity

Day 1

I’ve been working on prosperity for quite some while. There’s the old conundrum of needing money and time to do my art, and needing to do my art to experience money and time. Melissa Dinwiddie sent out a notice of this program that she is part of called “Peace of Prosperity”. I checked it out today, and it just struck my tickle-bone. I loved the first mini workshop by Jamie Ridler and spontaneously planned to participate by adding my comments here on my blog.  Who knows? Perhaps it will get me back in the habit of making entries here more often (a personal goal of mine).

In Jamie’s workshop, I visualized money. I was really surprised to see this image of a money-green statue of liberty. She was quite playful and dynamic. This was different from anytime I’ve done anything similiar in the past.

The Questions

1. What is your request of money?  

I asked money to play with me, to joyously dance and bless me. It was interesting. At first, Money did not notice me, did not even hear me when I addressed her directly. I had to shake her on the shoulder to get her attention in order to ask her the second question. I’m realizing as I type this that I did not insist on Money listening to my request of Money. I do believe I will re-connect and repeat my request.

2. What is money’s request of you?

Once I got Money’s attention, and asked for her request of me, she was quite clear. She said, “You have to appear brighter. What I mean is, you need to be ALL of you, fully authentic, and expressive of your true nature, if you want me to notice you. I’m not interested if you are going to hide in a mousy way. “

 

That statement got my attention. Within the hour, I was nudged by Spirit through a couple friendly encounters, to make some changes in the way I have been beginning my days.  I needed to have a conversation with my husband/partner  and state my intentions to take back my mornings. I do so enjoy our meditation time together, and we are going to return to it. I intend to fulfill Money’s request of me, and look forward to Money fulfilling mine of her.

Joy of Compassion

Sorrowful joy of compassion
wells up like a bursting flower

A flaming soul cleanse
grace in action
washes my cheeks

Flash springs of hot tears
follow their rutted path
to settle peacefully
in the pond of my heart

Do, Be, Have

To Be…
Singular in focus
a source of Peace
A smile that travels exponentially
the diving pebble
A conscious co-creator
In community
To Do…
The next true thing
Follow the nudges of the heart
listen to the still voice
To Have…
A lucid life complete

and splendidly on purpose

Be Still, My Speeding Heart

Inspired by blurred wings
of jeweled and joyous hummingbird
and the languid lurch
of true and intrepid turtle

My heart travels
at its own speed
as I journey through
spicy and bland
juicy and dry

And even when I stomp out
the sparks of fiery controversy
infecting my peaceful brain

Seeds of Inspiration

A catalyst
the seed of inspiration

Sparked a chain reaction of activity
in their midst

Without so much as a “Howdy do!”
complete strangers joined forces
of a mind to flourish

Quickly rooting deep in rich soil
and sprouting
A new field of Peace
