I AM

I AM loved

I AM

 

I AM bathed in Love. I AM

I am based in Love. I AM

 

I AM That Which Is.

I AM

I AM She/He/They

That comes to you in the Silence.

I AM

I AM She/He/They

That comes to you amidst the chaos/noise

I AM

 

I AM She/He/They

Inside you

I AM

 

I AM She/He/They

All around you

I AM

 

I AM in every nook and cranny

I AM

I AM everything and no(thing)

I AM

 

As a child

You were told

God is everywhere

Your Catholic catechism asked

Where is God?

God is everywhere

God is in ALL things

I AM

 

I AM God

I AM The Goddess

I AM The Light

I AM The Dark

I AM The Grey

I AM The In-between

I AM

I AM form

I AM formless

I AM

 

There is no place

In which I AM not

I AM here

I AM there

I AM

I AM here and there

All at once

I AM

 

I AM

I AM

I AM

I AM

About the art: I had not created any art in a very long time. I went to California to visit my dear friend and Soulsister, Rosemary Valdez Fletcher. She was determined that she was going to get me creating again. She used simple childlike tools to entice me such as Crayola‘s magic clay and poster paints. And this Angel Goddess as born. She now resides with another dear friend and Soulsister, Valerie Kwietniak.

 

 

I AM HERE

Rock Goddess

           I AM HERE 

Good morning Team.

Divine Mother

Divine Father

Divine Brother

Divine Sister

all of you be with me today as I go forth in my day.

May I be a beacon of love and light and compassion.

May I walk gently on the earth.

Thank you for being present for me always.

Thank you for loving me, guiding me, helping me, being aware of me, acknowledging me, nourishing me, supporting me, listening to me.

 

I am here.

It is a new day.

An opportunity to start fresh.

I am here ready, willing and able to be.

To be what is needed

What is required in each moment.

 

I am here to be of service

to the Divine call

that is as a clarion

to my soul, to my human.

 

I am here, Dear Goddess, Mother of all Creation,

I am here to be a vessel

for thy bidding.

 

I am here. I am here

I am here filled with

gratitude, love, and

even remorse for not

always being aware

of the need to be here.

 

I am here

on this planet, Earth

I am here. Be here now.

 

I am here

responding to the call

of the Mother.

I am here tending to her children.

I am here. I am here. I am here.

 

I am love incarnate.

I am the eyes, ears, mouth, voice, heart

of Creation, The Creator,

The Mother, the Father,

The Universal Cosmos of Creation.

I am that which is.

 

I choose to look at this moment

and be grateful for that.

I am here in my healing room.

The silence is deafening.

The aloneness sublime.

The opportunity to be alone

in my own being

with my Creator,

a gift not to be taken for granted.

 

I am here. I am here.

And in this moment

I rejoice in this moment of here.

 

For this moment

I can lay aside the pain, the fear,

the anxiety of living with an incurable disease.

 

For this moment

I can bear witness

to the suffering of those around me.

 

For this moment

I can rejoice in the silence.

I can rejoice in the fact

that my body is mostly pain-free.

 

In this moment

I am doing more than just enduring.

In this moment

I am rejoicing in living.

 

I am rejoicing that

I AM THE BODY.

I AM THE BODY

MY SOUL USES TO EXPRESS ITSELF.

I AM THE BODY

THAT EXPRESSES LOVE

WITH A HUG,

WITH TOUCH,

WITH A KIND WORD.

 

I AM THE BODY

THAT EXPRESSES LOVE

BY LISTENING

TO THE PAIN OF OTHERS.

 

I AM THE BODY

MY SOUL USES

TO ACT IN KIND

AND BENEVOLENT WAYS.

 

I AM THE BODY

MY SOUL USES

TO POINT OUT

ABUSE, INJUSTICE.

 

I AM THE BODY

AND TODAY

I AM GRATEFUL

for that and for this body

that carries my pain,

Carries the pain of those I love,

carries the pain of the masses

But also carries

the love that heals that pain.

 

I am the heartbreak

I am the love that soothes

I am the abuser

I am the abused

I am the antidote to both

I am the love that heals

I am the love that nourishes

I am the love that supports

I am the love that is aware

I am the love that is all encompassing

I am the love.

I am here

About the Art:  I created this Rock Goddess when we were redoing our son, Cory's, backyard.  We created a rock garden that included a medicine wheel and yin yang symbol as well as other spiritual symbols. It was hard work but a fun family project. Her head is made from a gourd and unfortunately the New Mexico sun has not been kind to her. She is however, still standing eight years later. Kind of like me, a little bruised and battered but still here.
