Quotation of the Day (Poem)

I am sharing a poem with you that my dear friend Barry shared with me and it touched me deeply.  I hope you too receive the gift of universal love and connection this poem gave me.  I am so often in the place of searching for the right answer, direction, guidance and this poem helps define the way to do just that.  When I allow my "search" for direction to be navigated by my mind the response often feel conflicted, confusing and I feel doubtful and frustrated.  The minds connection is to me and my depth of knowledge and understanding.  It is tainted by my ego and dependent on what "others" think.  When I search my soul, its connection is to the universe and if I focus, get quiet with myself and allow myself to trust; the response is typically subtle, and calm; true to me and congruent with my purpose. 

 

Search your soul:  It is convenient; you always have it with you, it is true and calls from the eternal source. 

 

Here is the poem by James Kavanaugh' from his book of poetry titled: There Are Men Too Gentle To Live Among Wolves.

 

          In the Center Of Your Soul

 

There is quiet water
        In the center of your soul
Where a son or daughter
        Can be taught what no man knows

There's a fragrant garden
        In the center of your soul
Where the weak can harden
        And a narrow mind can grow

There's a rolling river
       In the center of your soul
An eternal river
       With a rich and endless flow

There's a land of muses
      In the center of your soul
Where the rich are losers
      And the poor are free to go

So remain with me , then,
      To pursue another goal
And to find your freedom
      In the center of your soul

 

Anything you'd like to share?  Please do.

 

 

Love you all,

Jacky
