Would You Nurture My Soul

Would You Nurture My Soul

A Story by Micheal Teal





"Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before."
Erich Fromm



Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

The landscape of human feeling is awash with sadness and depression. For we are a planet in peril and healing becomes more difficult every day. I struggle every day not only with my own past and emotional problems but with the abuse of our very spirit that is taking place. I have seen far too many women suffer at the hands of men totally ignorant of the beauty and significance of the feminine spirit. Women have a light within their soul that is sacred and I for one have grown weary of seeing that light diminished. Let us create a world of abundance , kindness and beauty by respecting the ethereal spirit of our sisters , the magnificence of our mothers and the heavenly essence that is inside each and every woman ever to set foot on Sacred Mother Earth.

" I looked for my soul but my soul I could not see. I looked for my God but my God eluded me. I looked for a friend and then I found all three."
William Blake


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

My spirit weeps every day for those who suffer , for those who are victims of hatred. I can no longer watch the news without losing sleep for the inhumanity prevalent in todays society is horrific. It is our duty as planetary citizens to create a more peaceful and tranquil world that all may roam in freedom and love. Let us put away our guns and instead of facilitating war promote peace and harmony. Respect for the planet is crucial at this stage of our evolution. The future is now , it is in every breath , therefore we must breathe in inspiration , for to survive we must inspire the next generation to heal the wounds we have opened. Let us have an alchemy of thought and emotion that brings us all to the realization that there are many paths to heaven , none of which involve the blood of the innocent. Peace is not a concept , its a birthright!

"Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul."
Jalal ad-Din Rumi


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

Embrace the gifts within your soul for we all have the ability to make a difference in the world. If you have suffered at the hands of another , if you have been beaten , battered and broken , then you more than anybody should aspire to facilitate change that no other person shall suffer the same abuse as you. We must use our minds in the highest way and journey deep into spiritual realms. Hatred is unacceptable , Prejudice is unacceptable , Racism is unacceptable , Homophobia is unacceptable , to accept these truths and say nothing is unacceptable. My soul is bleeding and I am weak from all the blood I have lost. Let me not fight this battle alone. Stand hand in hand with me and together we can promote a culture of peace and nurture an atmosphere of wellbeing.
Let us embrace the song of life that together we may all dance our sacred dream.

"The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens into that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was a conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach."
Carl Gustav Jung


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

My dream is that the inspirational beauty of nature will once again be the cosmic force that leads us to walk a path of truth , beauty and lovingkindness. We as sentient beings need to open our hearts that we may experience the wonder that is around us. Heaven is all around us - the love of a mother , the smile on the face of a child , the scent of a puppy or a baby , the moonlight on the water , the joy of accomplishment , the loveliness of a flower in full bloom - these are the things that inspire the divine within us to honour the earth and venture down enlightened paths. Please seek union with the divine that we may all serve the betterment of humankind. I can no longer accept the delusional pursuit of Greed and Globalization. I implore all who read this to take this as an opportunity to live life with more grace thereby providing hope for a better tomorrow,

"Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide. And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart."
E. E. Cummings


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

I am embraced by the wind. Mine is an existence of divine love and wisdom. I walk a path of peace along lifes shore where the ocean meets the sky. I seek only to build bridges of peace that lead all humankind to an oasis of love , beauty and truth. The soul of man was meant to be free , the spirit of woman was meant to embrace all life with its magnificence. Explore the voices of the natural world and allow yourself not to dream but to live , to create change , to foster the positive , to experience the reality that faith moves mountains. Please let me not walk this path alone. Know that the love in my heart goes out to each and every one of you and that I pray that we may all one day live and love in true harmony and peace as we celebrate the beauty of our differences and the magnificence of that which we have in common. For we are but flowers in lifes garden.

"There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge."
Friedrich Nietzsche


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

I think you would.

All I can do now is wait.

...I don't even know how to respond to that fully, to tell you the truth. It's sort of mind-numbing, to read something so simply beautiful and tranquil and loving, so different than the slander and hatred that I'm used to hearing on a day-to-day basis. It leaves me a little bit speechless. All I can say is that I know this comes from the heart, which doesn't do justice to what this really is, no! It comes from the soul. And that is a precious thing.

Bravo.

EE Cummings, is someone I would have liked to be able to call on the phone and have a nice long chat with.

So beautiful. I think that the word beautiful does not even really begin to cover it. And awe-inspiring is a term so over used these days that it does not really fit well with me either. To read something from a soul so in tune with harmony and piece, gives mine hope that perhaps someday I might reach that point. My soul is turbulent with it's own emotions and the control it cannot have, but it has gained some peace through your words tonight, and for that, I owe you the world.

This is so beautiful my friend,how peaceful ,how loving these words are..
tell you the truth ,when I read this I was so taken with the lovely emotions and the dreaminess of the
whole writing ..tell you another truth ,but dont be mad at me,ha ha,its like someone from another planet
for when I look at my sides and see whats happening I wonder how you could put these concepts
into action..I hope we may live the day to these these things possible,but its always great to try
with that I agree,try and try hard all the time..you may get to something or else this craziness
around us is just taking us all to our doom..
I really loved this..How I wish many more of friends here to write things like that..
Again I tell you my friend ,I swear even here so many will not like these words and they will tell you frankly
like saying these words are words of the weak..they will not say they are words of peace,I am sorry to say that
lovely write..

What a marvelous Read! You advocate for the betterment of mankind. This is a titanic undertaking and without question needs to be done. Every time I go out the door our streets are lined with blank empty faces. Eyes void of seeing, ears blocked with phones or horrible noise of somekind...They are blocking out the world and I keep asking why is this happening? How can we help to bring them back to life?

The writing sites are loaded with dark horrible stories that don't inspire kindness, love or hope. And this prevails the world over. I'm not a trained writer like yourself but I do try to write about peace, love and hope. Your work is so wonderful and I truly appreciate your attempt to make our planet a better place. Thank you so much. Smiles. M.

No doubt that this is a beautiful and brilliant writing, but will everyone accept it and read from the beginning to the end, or just simply read it half way, or read the start but jump to the end just to avoid what the content might be? When the world is to beautiful and perfect, no one will understand the meaning of perfection and beauty. To make a mistake, a person will know what is forgiveness and change. If a person ever asked me, "Would you nurture my soul?" I would answer, "I will only nurture your soul when you learn to nurture your own first." The world is not just about giving, but it also need to learn to accept.

If you ask for my opinion through this article, I would say I do not feel how much willingness you'll give to yourself to simply be nurtured. At the end of this writing, 'All I can do is wait' has given out the message, that may not to everyone, but certainly to someone. Anyway, in my opinion, the line 'I think you would' is powerful enough and leaving a great message to those people out there how sincere you are.

Other than that, I really enjoy reading your writing. If there's any words that I used hurt you or anyone in a way or another, I apologize. Thank you for sharing :)

Illuminating, powerful and inspiring words... I love the quotes, especially the one by C.G Jung, who is my guru in a way.. one thing the writing of Jung has often highlighted is the nececcity to fetch deep into our intuition to find the true self, the one that's meant to communicate with humans and nature alike... I find your piece does replicate this idea productively.

I wonder, Michael, if all the world knew was peace, would we appreciate it? Or is this a concept more desired because it is not all ours to begin with? Do you really feel we were taught to have disharmony in our souls, or could it be our genetic make-up? While your words are strikingly beautiful and your spirit seems gentle, I wonder if all mankind can live in the same manner. Are we not passionate creatures and with this comes the darker side of our emotions as well? Do you really believe a "peace-loving" society is realistic or is it more idealistic? While I don't condone violence, I can appreciate a dance in the "fire" once in a while. =]
