 Hate,
For How it burns us, as we hate, as we fear, as we divide, as we break, as we Live to learn, hatred serves us fire, not to warm us but to burn us alive, and to a crisp we harden. We judge, we hate, we forget ourselves, one another, and how these diversities could connect us. Hate is heavily dark & twisted, And serves us many lessons, it teaches us a lot of ourselves And one another, be stronger than hate, Be wiser than its charms, And though it tempts us everyday to fall, Choose to rise above, Choose compassion, Choose love, Choose to learn, Choose to not be disposable, Choose to not be divided or weakened, Choose to illuminate not die burning ourselves while we are so very much alive and can change...

this is my sunshine finger, declaring happily, I am my own person, I am who I think I am, I am who I choose to be, I am passionately true to my heart, my truth, my path, my life with all I have to give... Sometimes the best thing I can do, is light up my sunshine finger, as to empower myself, my direction, my choices, my light, my way, and with a grin, May we all stand strong, May we all face life the way we choose to, May we be brave enough to honor ourselves with boundaries, and shine that magical finger to all those haters, naysayers, with love, with peace, and with a kind smile, as we walk forward in our own direction, Not egging them on, Respecting ourselves, To do our own thing Always and no matter what! Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Feisty Independence, Dancing & marching to my own tune, This will always be the way I am, Faithful to my heart, my soul, my body & my mind, I choose to invest into my life, I choose to be dedicated, No BS, No Drama, No copycat...  Changed I am, Through experiences I sought for, Through experiences I didn’t ever want to come to know, Through experiences I came and went to and from, Through experiences I fought for, I am changed because of… Every thought I had, Every action I did, Every word I spoke, Every conversation I heard, Every appetite I tasted, Every bouquet I smelled, Every perception I saw, Inside of me, Outside of me. I absorbed, I enmeshed, I observed, I cultivated, I acquired, I chose, I directed myself into or out of, And through myself, through another, Schooled me, Changed me. I am a ever evolving result of all my befores, Meanwhile still changing who I am, Because as we live so do we change, Because time offers us these blessings. And making the most of our time here, Teaches us this, Through every choice, every decision, Every which way we pave, Through our senses, coming to our senses, Becoming aware, growing, allowing, disconnecting, Purging, speaking, feeling, smelling, tasting, hearing, seeing, doing, Changes us, Changed me, Changed I am, and to be honest even though the discomforts are never fun, and the comforts we get to have, Encourage us into taking new adventures offshore, Have lists of many pros and cons, I am grateful to not be who I used to be, I am grateful for every experience good, bad, ugly and painful, For who I am now, will change again, Like I did in the past, so will this change presently and in the future, So I will savor everything, with gratitude for what it is, and what it does for me, with me forward, changed I am, almost always in awe No matter where the balance lays… Changed I am and will be. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Thank you, Universe for all these experiences expanding me. I love Life, like I love me, like I love you, Knowing everything changes, And that is the only certainty I can rely on, Even when I am bewildered to what could be coming, Or leaving me, the lesson reveals itself and I know I will learn, And changed by all of it...  Without judgement
Of my own, of any other, I am therefore I am, Not in a stand still though I feel as I am witnessing all that is here, As if within or in between a pause… I am moving but not so much as We visualize the knowing of physical walking, But more so as I am drifting, Not sinking, not hovering, Yet it could be, Or it may not, Transient I am… Thoroughly being Where I need to be, Without judgement Of my own, of any other, Deeply allowing myself to be guided, By my own sweet intuition, Gravitating towards what is now, what is here, Present in an unabridged presence, I am. Accepting like welcoming, Open & receptive, Allowing, Space to refill or release, To be observed, acknowledged, examined Softly or harshly if needed be, Very aware, liveliness budding, I indulge this, “However,” As it unfolds, Come what may whether I am prepared or not, I will be, here drifting, Until what needs be, Either aligns or Affirms my footing… Patience I need, Without resistance, Without feeding my doubts, Without rushing, Without fueling the darkness, Come what may, Come what may not be liked or loved, Being comforted in this discomfort, I am. I will tend, I will lean into, I will act instinctively, I will honor, I will allow, I will let this be, I will let this grow me, I will let this expose me, I will let this unmask itself, I will let this venture be what it is, How it surfaced, and is becoming to be, I will welcome, letting me be nourished, Within all the goodness, Guided by truth, faith, love, light, strength I am. Without judgement Of my own, of any other, I am therefore I am, Drifting through, Gathering all I can from, to, within and around. Allowing all the terrific abundance that is here, Be found, be felt, be cared for, be expressed, Season me, adapt I will.. Flexible I am, To bend, to lean, To glimmer, to wobble, To weather the goods of every storm, every breaking wave or ripple, To explore every ray, path, motion, way, As it is. As I am, In, out, within, outside of, upside down, inside out, Above, below, encompassed, Whichever height, length, depth I find myself in, I choose to will it, further than my knowing, To be welcomed, approached with compassion, Given my whole attendance, Without judgement, here I am. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror Allowing peace to be my anchor & lift, I am. Here is my passage.  Cloaked within myself,
Within the Divine of myself; Of the universe, of humanity, Of the primitive animal world, of nature, of land & seas, Of connections, of all possible & impossible could be’s, Of light, of darkness, of paradise, of adversity, Of frenzy, of dismay, of awe, of esteem, Of diversion, of finding, of searching, Of applying, of wandering, of choosing, Of intending, of assuming, of senses, Cloaked within the Divine. I am, We are, Provided for, Given from, Born to, Shared with, Invested in, To live, to work through, To learn, to perhaps love, cherish, or evade, To kindle, to assemble, To utilize resources, to create, To excavate, to realize, We borrow this shell cloaked in the Divine, Within ourselves and this majestic universe; To have this life, To make a life, To give more life, To share this life, To learn this life, To walk, to crawl, to swim, to fly, To be as we are, To grow into ourselves, Out of ourselves, Made of stars, Made of light, To embody our divine spirit, To flourish, to thrive, To cultivate. To exemplify, Our always wholeness, Our always strong, Our always resilience, Our always ever-changing capacities, Our infinity, our eternal, our Divinity, As each moment comes and goes, We interchange, we interweave, Our coming together, With ourselves our world, Ever connected, No matter the feeling of Disconnecting, We reconnect Always Cloaked, Not as in disguised though that does occur, Cloaked within the divinity of myself & the universe, Every step of the way, Every thought, Every spoken word, Every action, Every breath, All being, All knowing-ness, All unknowing-ness, All processes, All, always whether we choose to understand, Or comprehend, It's always within us, To carry out, Emanating, Resonating, Shifting, Becoming, We always have been, And still are, Made of Stars, Even when they burst, Even when they cannot be seen, Even when we lose faith in ourselves, Other and the world around us, It is there, It is here, It is always within us, It is always with us, It is now, And always will be...Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror For this, with everything in me, that I have gathered thus far, I believe... |
