Letting Go and Embracing the New

I know I must let go, because in the depth of my being, it’s a dead-end road bound to cause sorrow. I know I must let go, because I need to move on, and looking back perpetuates the unfolding. I know I must let go, for my own good, and I know I must let go, to move on, from the destructive hindrance, of holding on. Danny G.

Chart Your Course

Even though your mind feels like pulling you in a certain direction, doesn’t mean you have to let it go there. Are you operating out of your mind or your higher self? Assess the situation, see if your mind agrees with your soul. If it does, follow through, if it doesn’t, change your course. Your soul sees what the mind cannot see. It sees beyond the present moment, and into the dimensions that only God can see. Listen to your intuition and authentic self. You define yourself and your uniqueness ultimately defines who you are. Danny G.

Life Requires Contrast to Create Evolution

We need contrast to create experience and evolution. We need a platform and a reference point to create our lives and change the world. Without a platform or reference point, there is no evolution and ultimately no journey. Without contrast, we cannot choose, and we cannot define who we are. Danny G. 

Many Roads to Rome

Is there a right or wrong, or are there simply better choices, that agree with our soul? Let’s acknowledge, there are many roads that lead to the same destination. We often worry about getting it wrong, making a detour, or wrong turn. The moment we get up again, our destination still remains. If we make an effort to let go and embrace the moment and opportunity to pursue our destination, we find there are many roads that lead to Rome. Let’s not make our journey more troubling, by doubting ourselves and denying our power. Let’s acknowledge many roads lead to Rome, and let’s choose the path that resonates with our soul. Danny G.

Stepping Back From the Chaos (Poem)

In the quiet of the night, 

Where everything is still, 

And dark 

Behind the misty sky,

The world shuts down, 

Stops, 

And dreams, 

Looks so real 

As we ponder 

The night-time visions

Of above, 

Giving us glimpses 

Of our daily thoughts

As we contemplate, 

Breathe,

And Rejuvenate.

When we get up, 

Like the quiet of the night, 

This place of stillness,

Away from the chaos 

Of today,

No distractions, 

Just being, 

Without contradictions, 

Steering us away,

From our divine purpose 

And unanswered prayers. 

We find a place within,

Where all answers are within, 

What was once hidden,

Is now within our reach,

As we contemplate, correlate,

And find our place,

In the chaotic world of today.

From this space of stillness,

What was once an annoyance 

And disturbance,

Is now a figment, 

Of our imagination,

Always was, 

We just didn’t accept it

Until we stepped back, 

And looked within, 

The essential calling, 

Of our soul.

 

Solitude Needed At Times (Poem)

Solitude is my friend,

My place of zen

Where I enter

When frustrated 

Indecisive 

Or angry.

I look within,

The only power 

I’ll ever have 

To change within 

So I can change 

The course.

When I enter within 

I can conquer mountains 

In front of me.

And I can enter the world, 

And be happy and at peace, 

Despite the chaotic world 

Of our nation.

Face Life the Real Way (Poem)

He came into this life,

With atrocities of every kind,

As all he wanted was a life

Free of trouble 

And heartache.

As he was looking for freedom, 

And inner peace,

He was bound by beatings, 

inferiority 

And abuse. 

He then reverted to alcohol, 

All day and all night,

As he was looking for stillness,

And couldn’t find it at home.

He then sank into this pit,

Of self-destruction 

And maze,

He couldn’t get out,

So he drank and smoked pot 

To relieve the pain. 

Numbness was his stillness, 

Until he developed 

Health problems, and this overwhelming sadness.

He was feeling empty,  

All this time, 

He was reverting to alcohol and drugs

To numb the pain.

Then one day, 

A lady came into his life,

Loved him like no other ever did.

Taught him self-love, 

How to appreciate the moment,

Finally he was happy and felt understood.

He never understood, 

Why he was brought up this way, 

But he knew this young lady 

Was a gift from God, till this day.

He then said to himself, 

No longer will I numb the pain, 

From this dark cloud,

Of self-destruction and maze.

Despite the troubles, 

I still see beauty in the world,

Despite its imperfections,

And I choose, to face life this way.

The Teacher

The teacher always presents himself at the ideal time for your ultimate best. He pushes you into uncharted territory to smooth out the rough edges. With always your best interest at heart, if you simply listen, and not push against, he will reveal to you, your true self, from your own lenses. Danny G.

Just Being (Poem)

A hot cup of java,

On a cold wintery morning,

Sipping and staring at the bay.

Watching snowflakes, 

Melt on the branches, 

As it drips,

Into the shadowy stream.

Glancing at the sunrise,

While the birds whistle 

And sing, like a melody, 

With hymns.

I feel the cool crisp air on my skin,

As I’m lost in the moment, 

Without a care in the world,

Just being.
