"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 Wit...

-->                                                                                  "Silence Do you realize that you spend so much time on thoughts, words and expressions? Have you ever contemplated what happens before and after? Before the word, the thought or the expression there was silence. After the word, the thought and the expression there is silence. Why then, do you not focus on the source of all the wisdom that is the silence? All the creativity, expressions, poems, art, books, songs, words, love, wisdom and enlightenment comes out of the silence. If you co...

“Are you looking for it, but don’t know where to find it. Sometimes the thing you seek is hidden right in front of you. Are you looking for it,  and when  you don’t find it  you sometimes  feel slighted?  I wonder if  you seek delight  in the limelight?  Are you looking in  the daylight  or seek it in the  moonlight or  twilight?  Have you  run out of gas  by staring at the gaslight  or afraid  of your inner inflight? Do you look for  the lighthouse,  searching for its spotlight?  Does your day  sometimes move  lightening fast with  highlights or red lights?  I pray you find it,  if not use the flashlight  to clear out the blight  and when you find it,  smile and bask in its might.”    © Inshan Meahj...

"Do you know who you are, why you are here, what is your life’s purpose? Do you spend time focused on all the events that happened in the past? Do you have fear about the unknown future? Have you found the hidden path?  Do you know at this exact moment that you are reading this, you are not in the past, not in the future, but fully present in the eternal now. Why is this? It is because you have made yourself fully present in order to read these words. What can this simple exercise of being present do for you? By providing your presence to the present moment, this is the best present you can give yourself and others. Isn’t it funny how we sit in our cars, try to talk on the phone, eat something and pay attention to the road all at the same time. We have lost the concept of quality of life, and somehow think that if we cram as much stuff into one moment, we are filling it. However, you know that by doing that you get indigestion and create dis-ease in your body. You are not...

"The bulb and the candle. Have you ever really looked at a candle, really looked at it? What does it do when at rest in the dark, it is simply some wax, with a wick in the middle, laying in wait for its chance to truly express its talent and share its hidden gifts. Something magical happens when there is a spark, and the candle is lit, it comes alive, it gives light, it shares light, from one you can light a thousand more. Have you ever looked at a light bulb when it was off, it looks like its waiting for something, and then, someone turns on a switch, and then it is lit, it illuminates a room, a home, a city, a world. It brings to my mind the three states of the candle and the bulb, before it is lit, when it is lit and after the light goes out. Where are you today, are you waiting for the spark, or to be switched on, have you lost it, or have you switched off? Are you alight, and alive, or choose to live in the dark? If you haven't really lit your candle, ...

"How was your 2011? Was it filled with a myriad of experiences? Did the story unfold how you envisioned it? Did you achieve every goal, hit every milestone? My guess is that it went like this: In 2011 you experienced joy and pain, sorrow and happiness, surprise and tedium, peace and war, loneliness and friendship, love and anger, abundance and scarcity, success and failure. I am sure some experiences were really tough, but apart from what you felt, what you went through, I want to encourage you to come to the realization that you were privileged to have life, to experience the human condition, which is the greatest gift of all. Please don’t look back and feel regret, but be fulfilled that you lived life with all its intricacies, twists, turns, ups and downs. It is not as important to figure out if you had more ups than downs on the roller coaster of life, but to figure out if you were awake for the ride and tried to enjoy it all the way through. Sometimes we wan...

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...
