The Tree

"I love to sway in the wind
I drink from the delicious rain
Feel the sunlight on my green skin
But sometimes I feel intense pain

Pain of my fallen brothers
They were once like me living in peace
Killed by indifferent others
They were sacrificed to give way to the housing increase

Who does man think he is?
He chops and pillages my clan
He forgets that we were also created with him in bliss
Without any compassion for us and the land

Why does man forget that we are his brothers?
We breathe out for his benefit fresh air
He destroys, kills and smothers
He does not treat us fair

I pray that man remembers how
Remember that we are your kin
To live in love, peace and in the now
As what we breathe out, you breathe in

I have hope in Man
As he is our brother
In our ancient covenant we had a plan
To live in Peace with each other

I know that he will look
At all the spaces
That he can replant my brothers
With all man’s smiling faces

I see a future of coexistence
In which we all find a place
That there is no resistance
When we will again embrace"

"Of what worth is the intellect if it confines us to a static existence. Maybe perchance, the fullness of life is to be experienced when we dynamically project our dreams, new ideas and new possibilities into our current circumstances.  This germination of positive energy into our present future has the ability to help us let go of the old and boldly step into the new definition of our lives. This constant renewal of our soul expressing itself in fun playfulness, can aid us in releasing our hold on old relationships to anything in our environment that no longer serves our higher purpose. So my dear friend, be still, silent and peaceful and in that state, the clarity of your next action will be able to emerge, as the waves of emotions which always seem to drown out the wisdom of our souls are made to lay flat.  I wish you the gift of a dynamic, fun filled inspirational, love infused, divinely guided life!"    © Inshan Meahjohn 2017

5 Simple Ways to overcome FEAR

What is fear? The dictionary defines it as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or is a threat. One of my respected mentors, Mr. LeRoy Shuffler defined it as a F alse E xpectation A ppearing to be R eal Fear is one of the biggest single factors that deprives one of being able to achieve his/her full potential. We experience fear more as a result of our internal communication of mind rather than because of actual external factors. Fear is an unseen enemy that whispers negative thoughts into your mind, body and soul. It tries to convince you that you will not prosper and that you cannot achieve your full potential. Our lives can be compared to beautiful streams, which are destined to flow, grow in majesty to create wonderful features such as cascading waterfalls, and give nourishment and life to those in its path. Sometimes we let fear put up a small dam in our rivers of life and it causes us to have stu
