Everything is easy
that is aligned in synchronicity
with the Tao’s flowing authenticity,
but be sure
to close one door,
before opening another,
see through the disguises of anti-Christianity
that would enslave humanity
in this world’s dire hour,
is the third time the charm
for the personification of evil,
a man become a devil,
woe, to those who don’t heed the omens
of coming disasters natural,
and then political,
predicted by sages so long ago.

A light touch,
almost indistinguishable,
like a small electrical surge,
or the space
between the notes of the musical,
the silence no one notices, at all,
a whisper in the wind
that refreshes the mind
at a unique particular instant,
or the flight of a fly
that catches the eye,
diverting one’s attention,
or the itchy flirt of a mosquito bite,
those irks and smirks
and feelings somewhat subliminal,
those tugs at the heart,
that comical fart,
or the sneeze at the social scene
so very formal,
the delicate timing
and choreography of everything
that seems to be,
especially the anomaly,
such is the way of the Tao.

Psychic clouds and veils
form a permeable membrane
around the biased brain,
that block the light,
forming shaded thought,
of love concealed
from searching sore eyes
unable to see
the nearby prize,
as the ego creates a wily disguise,
so fearful a hoax to a lonely heart
that only longs the truth,
words fall short
that patronize
through superficial gesture
portraying more pain than pleasure,
betraying the soul
that seeks spiritual treasure
at fathoms deeper,
so let the sun shine
through mental cloaking
to whatever naked reality prevails,
as life, in the end,
will extract nothing less.

Mmmmmmmmmm!
To smell the sweet scent
of the gentle warm late-summer rain
wafting within refreshing breeze,
pitter-patter of drops falling
through the pre-dawn sky,
feeding a thirsty garden,
cycle of life
delineating to every earthly creature,
and so it goes,
the regenerating quality of nature.

Dear Mrs. Williamson:

I know you have requested people to submit a miracle, I wanted to share, that thanks to your book “A return to love”, a miraculous true love story unfolded. I promise to not take up too much of your time, but it’s worth the read.

My godmother, Kathy, had married her high school sweetheart back in the late 70′s. Almost twenty years and two children later their love began to diminish. His gambling and drug habit began to weigh deep on her. They finally spilt up in the early 90′s. Life, single parenting and her lost dream’s made her come to a breaking point in her life, until one day she jumped in her car and just drove. She cried and drove, not knowing where she was she finally stopped the car and sat down on a park bench late in the spring.

Her emotions overpowered her. A gentleman walked up to her and said “I don’t know what is going on in your life, but take this and read it. It helped me find myself in the darkest of times.” He handed her your book, “A return to love”. His number was in the inside cover of the book and he finished with, “If you ever need a friend, I’m a good listener.”

Seven years later they are still together. She found the love in him she never thought she’d find again all thanks to those precious words found beyond the cover of “A Returns to Love”

A return to love is a title that worked two folds for this couple, finding the love within themselves to accept the love offered by others. Thank you for all you do.

My best,

Thank you!

The battle to save the sacred land of the Petroglyph National Monument and the volcanic cones on the west edge of Albuquerque, NM, seemed to end a couple of weeks ago. I have supported the many legal and spiritual avenues pursued by the SAGE Council. When the final march in honor of the Petroglyphs took place on Nov. 19th, I was there and walked to the point where the bulldozer will cut into the rocks to create a 6-lane highway, permanently scaring the landscape, bringing thousands of cars THROUGH the canyon and forever destroying the sacred silence that has housed the voices of the ancients.

I have sent hundreds of emails, I have asked for everyone I know to contact congresspeople, politicians anyone around the world. But, you know, it’s Christmas, it business as usual, people are busy. But the petroglyphs wake me up at night asking for my help. I awakend to the vista of thousands of homes, of debris thrown into the canyon, to graffiti marring the ancient pictures, to desecration of all kinds. We are still asleep and don’t understand what we are about to do. I’m not a native american in this lifetime. I love this Earth.

I revere sacred open space as necessary for our survival. I honor and r espect the millenias of spiritual practices that have taken place here. I am begging you to help me with your prayers. I feel the only thing standing between the bulldozer and the end of this magical space is a miracle–for a change of heart, for someone with clout to step forward and say NO to the developers and our city council and mayor, for a weather factor to delay the construction, for SOMETHING, Please pray with me and for the sacred area so that it survives to continue for all generations to come.

Dear Yvonne,

I grieve with you, and I know that others reading this do too. I hope a miracle will come from your tears.

God bless you for trying.

Marianne

I ask God everyday for a Miracle for my 11 yr old son and Myself.

I am trying to take care of my son by myself with no real support he is an amazing child (as all mother think) but I worry everyday if I will be able to take care of him. Dealing with illness having trouble financially. I pray all day for the ability to care for him.

Brenda

+++++ Marianne’s Response ++++

I ask anyone reading this to pray with me:

Dear God,
Please pour Your light
on Brenda and her son.
Please pave a way for them
from lack to abundance,
from fear to faith,
from stress to peace.
May a way be created
for them to enjoy a new life,
full of comfort,
devoid of stress
and full of love.
And so it is.
Amen

Hi,

I would like my true love to come back to me. We were together 6 mos after 3mos he said he loved me. We were doing just fine and then after not being able to see each other 3 weeks – he stopped calling and said he wasn’t sure what he wanted. I am the best thing that ever happened to him and he to me.

Please bring him back to me.

M
+++++++ Marianne’s Response++++++

Sorry, can’t quite do that. I hear you that you’re the best thing that ever happened to him, but are you sure he’s the best thing that ever happened to you? Do you think a man who cuts you off quite like that is really one who is ready to love you deeply? And if his destiny is elsewhere, do you want to stop him on his path?

This is the miracle I pray for: that through your willingness to accept him where he is, you will find your peace of mind.

Rejoice,
that things are as they are,
on a cyclical trip
through time and space,
continuously composing
and decomposing,
returning to Source,

Pause,
to remember serenity and peace
await on the other side
of tension and strife,
as you cooperate
with the all-creating power
flowing through you,

Follow the Way,
and become one with it,
an unforced goodness
enfolding in you,
naturally.
