The Now Moments
Wow, things are moving at breakneck speed. Experiencing what I believe is living in 3d and 5d at the same moment. Emotions are arising (I've only been experiencing emotions for about 5 yrs), something happened and I was sad almost to the point of tears, sad, but at the same time feeling this emince joy for having had that experience that led to this in the first place.
The above, led directly into the dismantling of an identity I had created 6 yrs ago. Coming to the realization that I have been getting and giving energy to this as if it is who I am and it wasn't even hard to let go and move on. There was nothing wrong, had a lot of fun, it just ran its course and needed to be removed. It was the ego's identity and he's not too happy but so is the life of an ego I guess. lol
So grateful that these things continue to be brought into light to be healed. So much is happening so fast and I just love being able to experience this.

Elbert
Elbert O Elbert
a mountain we did climb
seven men assaulted you
not in record time
What did you take from us
What did we find
What was the cost
We'll find out in time
They said it's a challenge
a Spiritual retreat
seven men seeking God
we all have sore feet
We came at you courageous
with determination and grit
for some the words linger
I could just quit
On the summit we celebrated
seven men now as one
each fought his own battle
a battle we all won
Elbert O Elbert
the tallest of all
seven men claiming victory
at the beginning of fall.

God and a Mountain
Seven men and a mountain
a Spiritual retreat
each on their own
a miraculous feat
driving all night
in a rickety van
waking up early
in a glorious land
towering above them
wind blown bare peaks
eating breakfast
at nine thousand feet
accommodations wonderful
a really great haus
settled in as strangers
after a brief roustabout
morning came early
we gathered our gear
running late for our date
let's get out of here
fifty miles thru the mountains
we rattled and shaked
arriving at the trail head
as the sun began to wake
with feet on the trail head
and gear on our backs
we started the challenge
there's no looking back
in the tall pines trees
we moved as a group
sticking together
a Spiritual soup
clearing the tree line
mountain taking its toll
a long rocky ridge
with a foreboding big knoll
that must be the summit
so what's the big deal
you said this adventure
would challenge our will
marching up the switch backs
to gain the rocky ridge
the foreboding big knob
got bigger than big
up and to the right
we assaulted that beast
each climbing fearlessly
nearing complete
we climbed and climbed
to the withering heights
the group stringing out
as each man began to fight
the mountain is winning
false summits more despair
it's looking more like
not all will get there
each man in a battle
a Spiritual test
to call on his Maker
O' what a mess
a whole lot of praying
obedience, dependence and trust
we filed to the summit
sat down and had lunch
we laughed we cried
filled the summit with cheer
quick take some pictures
we must get out of here
heading back down
the going is rough
each man in a battle
dependent on trust
all the way up
never thinking of down
the war half over
we must get back down
twilight coming on us
struggles abound
retreating down the mountain
to a whistling sound
the sound of a whistle
there's trouble, there's fear
if you pass out
you'll die up here
with help to stand upright
one inch at a time
the tree line grew closer
over a long long time
we regained our transport
much like at the top
one at a time
we fell in flop
back at the cabin
bruised beaten and sore
we fell in our beds
a big collective snore
morning did bring
solitude with the Man
as each gave Him thanks
while trying to understand
coming together
to share what He'd done
our noses all red
from the bright beating sun
God showed up on the mountain
to that there's no doubt
still feeling the effect
as I'm writing this out
the rest is just riding
shaking and rattling about
thoughts still lingering
and coming out of our mouths
The God of the Universe
showed us His stuff
with a mountain called Elbert
he ground us to dust.
In an act of great mercy
he sheltered us fine
putting together the piece
understanding in time
Seven men and a mountain
a Spiritual retreat
each on their own

Discovering
Two young lovers
intimate to be
out to discover
each other
and Thee
Set on an island
next to the sea
lost in the beauty
an Emerald in the sea
Towering rocks
formed from the deep
stair step to Heaven
right out of the sea
A path leading upwards
one step at a time
climbing and climbing
what discoveries they'll find
Two young lovers
one taking lead
trust has the other
the way it should be
caught in a picture
a moment in time
etched forever
in both of their minds
Two young lovers
intimate to be
out to discover
each other
and Thee.

Heart felt words
I look to You O' Lord
Follow Me is Your call.
I look to You O' Lord
To follow You I will fall
Touch me and give me strength
Renew me day by day
To You I look for everything
Lead me on Your way
Giver of Life
Lover of my soul
I can't wait for the consummation
I'm eager to go home
A place I've never seen
A place I've never known
Deep within me groans
A yearning to be with You
That's where I call Home
Until that day I look to You
I'll follow best I can
Depending on Your Grace for that
Always holding Your hand
What will consummation be like
How will that all play out
As long as it's with You my Lord
I don't have a single doubt
Glorious, Wonderful
Exciting to say the least
Words can't compare
The Glory there
At the Wedding Feast.

Mountains out of mole hills
Making mountains out of mole hills
That's what I've done
It all became clear
In the Colorado sun
Standing before me
A daunting task
The peak of Mt. Quandary
at the heart of the task
Looking for God
every step of the way
I continually kept asking
Why am I here today
What will You show me
am I here for them
the questions kep[t coming
all directed at Him
Higher and higher
I continued to climb
stopping to marvel
at His Grand design
being filled up
to take a few more steps
turning around again
to breath in His breath
Little by little
for much of the day
I slowly continually
made my way
The Summit was beautiful
The climb down was tough
all the time I kept asking
what's really up
Sleep was most welcomed
the pain set deep within
I woke to the question
I'd been asking of Him
What do You want to show me
Show me the way
I'm here and I'm listening
I've got all day
Later that afternoon
It all became clear
I'd been making mountains out of mole hill
for many many years
The mountain was daunting
a grueling task
but I'd made it up there
riding on His back
If He would take me to those heights
What do I have to fear
The mountains I'd made of mole hills
suddenly disappeared
I ride with more confidence than ever before
My strength been renewed in Him
I'm trusting Him more
Away from the mountain
I did take
a new sense of dependence
Thank You God for Your Grace
Mountains out of mole hills

The Unseen Life
The Christian life is lived by faith in the Lord, not by mastery of observable circumstances.
Are you focusing on the seen or the unseen?
