Would You Nurture My Soul

"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

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

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

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.

Wow what hope and inspiring words. Wish more people thought like this, wouldn't the worls be a better place? Wish more men thought like this too, it's refreshing to know there is at least one out there! Such wisdom and peace in your words. Absolutely amazing piece here, Im in awe and lost in thought now...

thank you!

[M.S. Wiley]

So very well put, there are tears in my eyes. Blessings to you and all you represent. xox

Micheal, I enjoy the repetition used in this piece, it takes me away and back again with it's use. I enjoy your sensitive views and perceptions of the problems of the world, hopefully we can solve them all soon...

Cheers :)

Tranquil beauty , like scatterd seeds

[Silent Kim aka mizmetap..]

Very creative by adding the quotes. I enjoy the human nature aspect. You wish to create a Utopia, a dream of poets. A world with love not war. A quest mankind battles against. What great words you use to inspire change in our lives and the world.

You have a wonderful talent and if I wasn't at my 9 to 5 I would be writing the great response to this work of yours.

Thanks for puting these words down and sharing them with the world.

Excellent.

[Unique Encouragement]

This was very interesting. This got my mind thinking and wonder if this is a thought of everyone we meet along our path in life. What do we set out to do in order to fulfill that need? This is something I could read over and over again to keep me motivated to help others, by keeping them encouraged. Keep up the good work!

[Margaret Barton-Wahl]

This is a very interesting piece. I do enjoy the way that you have skillfully incorporated the writings of : Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Carl Gustuv Jung , E.E. Cummings and Friedrich Nietzche. I had no idea the this most eclectic group could be used to express such a singularly moving concept. MASTERFUL!

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

(THANKS FOR ADDING other quotes in there by respectable people. I personally love Rumi, he is one of my favs.)

But,....you deserve to be there as well. Your words flow and connect well with all these other inspirational poems. You truly are an inspiration. Maybe God used your talent as a tool to help others? This poem touched me very deeply.

Many days I do feel alone, as if not many are there for me. Friends make the world go round ! friends inpsire you, make life worth living, help a mundane life seem full of excitement. But...the wrong friends can also lead you astray, i'm speaking of those who can lift you up, emotinally and spiritually.

thanks for sharing michael. it sure is a pleasure reading your enlightening manna for our souls.
