~Love Tames. CordieB.
I am kind and patient; not boastful or proud…
I am all knowing, yet humble; not boisterous or loud
I am secure in my stead; not untrusting or jealous
I keep no scores of bad deeds; I’m forgiving….unrebellious
I am thankful for mine; of your’s I’m not envious
I don’t hold resentment to ferment my soul…
In-line with my spirit, it is compassion I hold!
I’m not judgmental; I allow others to be…
That which they are; so their souls might be free
Knowing we all are created from the same mighty force
Good, bad or indifferent; of the same Holy source!
I rejoice in the truth; refrain from deception…
Persevere with great hope, amid pain or rejection.
Not easily angered, remaining kind and protective…
Willing to look closely at life from another’s perspective.
I am the foundation of all Creation thereof…
I’m the most powerful, unfailing, Spirit of all
…I Am the Spirit of Love…
~Written by CordieB, Inspired by 1st Corinthian’s 13 and of course….. Love.
Quote for the Day: When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child; I reasoned like a child. As I grew, I put childish ways behind me. Then I saw but a poor reflection, as in a mirror. Now I see face to face. Then, I knew only in part. Now I know fully and I am fully known.
And now these three remain…
Faith
Hope
Love
But the greatest of these is…
LOVE
~1 Corinthians 13, The Bible
Another Quote: Knowing is realizing we don’t know it all ~CordieB.
Peace, Light and Love….

Current Mood:
Happy & 
Playful
Like dancing leaves of billowed trees…
I delight in the ride of a gentle breeze
I am tickled in my bare existence..
No need to push, pull or bear down in resistance
I breathe fresh air to feed my soul..
And exhale desires to hold control
I dare not stir the pot of mass confusion
That so often arises from exclusion
As refreshing as morning’s dew,
I float like clouds on plains of blue
Ingrained in love, instilled in all of you
No need to cause disharmony…
To choose a side or disagree
So magical, like alchemy…
I calm the qualms of humanity
Bringing forth new insight, bright and clear…
That life is precious, love is dear…
No need to fight, no need to fear!
Let go, Exhale, Release, Release!
Sieze me, and life’s chaos will simply cease

This is an update from a post I wrote last year – I’ve added and deleted some of my thanks givings from last year… As you can see, I’ve been blessed throughout the year. Also, I present to you a riddle to help exercise the thankful brain.
1. Today I am thankful that my pain is subsiding. pain is gone!
2. Today I am thankful that I have a good man who deals with my pain with me in a supporting, loving manner.
3. Today I am thankful that my children are doing well.
4. Today I am thankful for the warmth of the summer.
5. Today I am thankful that my fever is subsiding I can’t even remember the fever I spoke of last year.
6. Today I am thankful for another year to live and love and that nothing is constant but change 
(Added today, July 15th, 2010)
What were you thankful for last year this time? What are you thankful for Today?

Spiritual Riddle
I am the sin of grave covetousness
Bound to mine own self righteousness
Neglecting inner consciousness…
for all my mind craves to possess
I’m the root of imbalance in the land
As visioned pleasures I expand
Amid the poor and weakened man
To whom I dare not lend a hand…
Convincing self in false delight
that I deserve all in my plight…
What I consume is mine own right…
as daytime surely follows night…
The sad thing is I’m never filled,
as nothing ever quite fulfills
the hollow heart that slowly kills
my soul by short lived external thrills…
Hoarding more than I need
can’t quench the thirst of internal needs
with a starving soul and a heart that bleeds…
and decayed root bearing no fruit nor seed…
because one foolishly concedes
to me, (Who Am I – Click Below for Riddle Answer)

"When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully — in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love."
– Eknath Easwaran

Rainbow ~Courtesy of Just.Luc
With a ray of hope
And a glass half full…
And a mindset of
All is possible…
She cast her dreams
To the land of potential…
Awaiting with patience…
The inconsequential.
With dire belief…
Without brawn or tear
Only pure optimism
That her ship was near.
But that dream ship sail
Never came in view
Yet she always knew
Luck was overdue….
As the days passed on
And the years flew by…
Looking back on life
She asked a simple why…
And the dream she’d cast
Replied over the rainbow
Though you watered the pot
Not a seed did you sow. . .
~Written by CordieB
Thought for the Day…Especially for all perpetual dreamers…
Remember to plant your seeds before you water your pots
And,
Even if your big dream is to hit the lotto, you’ve got to play to win…baby!
Peace, Light and Love,
CordieB.

I hear the shots, bang, bang, bang!!!
I hear the cries of despair
I taste the salty tears falling from my eyes,
Instinctively knowing…
Another mother ‘s son has fallen today
Such a rainy, gloomy day…
Through my teary, blurred vision
I see the orchards in bloom;
Such vibrant colors,
So mystically beautiful
So miraculously peaceful
I suck a sweet honeysuckle,
arousing my senses…
mouthwatering, leaving me wanting more…
such sensuous fragrance…
Tempting me to lie down in the grass
Until late afternoon
To bathe in the warm rain,
and listen to its rhythm so perfectly peaceful;,
no man can compose the rain symphony
And in this bounty of priceless love gifts,
Among the anquish of senseless violence and destruction..
Stands a single red velvet rose. . .
Creation among Destruction…
I look up to see an expectant mother
Hurriedly being pushed into an ambulance
Instinctively, I know she will soon hold
The joy of her life…
And I wonder…
How can we deny unconditional love
When even in the mist of chaos…
Perfection evolves, and Love endures?

Balance -CordieB
Late evening contemplation in the park
sipping wine till light turns dark
picking minds and hearts apart
gazing at the wonderment of Sun’s retreat
as Moon assumes command; taking seat…
Sending Troup de Breezes; defeating stagnant heat
Mindless peeping as lovers fuss or swoon…
to birdie’s perfect God-sent tune…
‘Tis Life’s balance at the park in June
Written by CordieB
Quote for the Day…”All is Fair in Love and War” ~John Lyly’s ‘Euphues’ (1578)??
Submitted for simply snickers prompt. This week’s prompt words are: peep, park, pick.

Cool
I have been rather quiet here lately – I’ve been in the listening mode rather than the talking mode. Sometimes too much chatter jumbles the mind, so I’ve been sitting back taking in, absorbing for the moment. However, know that my thoughts remain with each of you loyal readers and those who happen to pass by this space every now and then.
Below is a repost of a riddle I wrote some time ago… perhaps you can solve it before you get to the end. And always remember, the stars look up tos you babe!
______________________________________________________________
I’ve guided multitudes of earthly beings through many dark nights
I’ve been a beacon of hope for many a man lost in his flight
Although I’m quite illuminous, I have absolutely no light energy alone . . .
I’m blessed by the light of my brethren to co-create life from cold stone
As long as my universal family shines, then I shall shine too . . .
And I, in-turn, humbly reflect that ambiance of light unto you.
So I can aide you in finding your way from the lost journey afar
And thus, you might illuminate another who may not know whom or where they are.
Like many, I sometimes have dreary days and nights when I feel so alone,
When I’m blocked from my light source by dark storm clouds of energy unknown.
I realise it’s all an illusion, for my light soure remains true, bright and clear
But when you’re lost in dark pastures, tis hard to let go the false fear.
So in today’s midnight, I remind you even a blind man can see the light bright,
For they are not blinded by false perceptions of absense of love’s light.
You see, the blind sees beauty in realness . . . and truth without lies . . .
They don’t look for false answers in the suns, moons or skies . . .
They feel warmth in kindness, compassion and love . . .
In darkness, they are guided by inner awareness, not from detachments thereof;
They love, hate or feel indifference to us for ourselves in the mist of life’s rugged race . . .
They most brilliantly see the love in our hearts–in spite of our physical face!
Visionless, they see the hatred in our hearts, in spite of physical beauty
Like a blind child or man, we should all stress to make it our duty . . .
To look into the true hearts of children, women, and men . . .
See all people as they really are, not pre-judge by their hair, face or skin.
But you needn’t close your eyes to see the light . . .
You can have 20/20 vision and still use your insight . . .
If you’ve accepted and embraced the blessing of inner vision and true clarity
Then you understand, I once was lost but now I’m found; was blind but now I see.
But alas, I will guide you in your journey, it won’t be too late or too soon . . .
I’m a luminous guide in life’s dark forrest, I am simply . . . . (click below for answer)

It’s been well over a year since I wrote this. . . and still the epic continues…
Love, Fear and Enlightenment ~CordieB.
She gazed upon his deep brown eyes
Glaized with love and fear; confused yet wise
she knew he loved her desperately . . . .
he could not risk her flying free
She knew she loved him through all fate
with him she’d found her mirrored mate
but with his love came blind control
Though undeliberate, such control shackled her soul
She knew her love was full and true
but there were other things she also knew . . .
she knew she could not be contained
into the life for which he’d planned
She knew he had insecurities
that would never allow her to simply be
he’d always possess the fear of flight
of her souring endlessly into the night
But since her love was true and tried
she eased his fears; stayed by his side
dealt with his subtle controls of will
convinced his way was better still
In time she lost desire to feel . . .
the warmth of the glowing sun
the coolness of the rain upon
her gentle being which she’d dreamed of
she’d traded peace of mind for love . . .
but still the longing in her eyes
revealed a tale of silent cries
this only hightend his insecurites
gave way to anger; raged immaturities
he’d often, confused, demand her to leave
but she’d hold to her sweet reprieve . . .
then one blessed day so crystal clear
the god’s of earth’s great atmosphere
gave strength to follow the raged command
thus she left the home of her beloved man
which she had humorously dubbed the promise land
though she knew his words were those of fear
the god’s gave her insight true and clear
that though her love was tried and true
living that life again; she she could not do
she needed the ability to shed her tears
to speak or write her words without the fears
of disillusioned, often drunken anger
for which she feared might trigger danger
But still her love so pure remained
Yet her peace of mind was hence regained
she knew she really loved this man
but feared rejection and anger once again . . .
She bathed in sweet tranquilities
she felt she finally could breath
she missed his presense even so . . .
Yet there was a stranger she had to get to know
She needed to get to know herself
not live her life for someone else
she needed to live her own desires
find out what really sparked her fires
Again, her love was tried and true
but being alone was something she needed to do
she’d always ran from man to man
if one doesn’t work out; another one can
was often her motto for many years
so in fact she had never faced her inner fears
thus she found herself crying the same sad tears
She felt if she simply returned for love
the same problems would arise in time thereof
for although she loved him beyond compare
she knew she’d lost a part of self somewhere . . .
Ah yes! she loved him desperately
and felt there love was meant to be
but with raw emotions and fear intertwined
she risked loosing his love to find her mind
To be continued. . . .

Current Mood:
Confused
Princes of Peace ~CordieB.
Where does life start;
Where does life end,
What constitutes life?
How might life transcend?
Is there soul without life?
Is there life without soul?
Does the soul have a mind?
Does a soul make life whole?
Is there soul in the seed…
Before insemination?
Is there soul in the man
Who lacks inspiration?
Is there soul in the sperm…
Before it fertilizes…?
Does a soul fly away…
When the body has died?
Is there life in the Rock,
The River, the Tree…?
Does life live in you…
Does a soul live in me?
Is consciousness in all creation?
Does consciousness have limitation?
Is the soul a gap between…
Body…and consciousness…
Or is consciousness a gap between
Body and soul…
Or are body, consciousness, and soul
independent concepts
That sometimes work together…
To make us whole…
To form what we call
… LIFE…
Or are they…?
~Written by CordieB.
~Inspired by MasteryMistery – Thanks, MasteryMistery!
So…what do you think constitutes life ? ? ?
