Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
We all have goals and may project them in to the future of how we would like things to be, ourselves or our circumstance.
Goals and dreams are great and drive us forward.
Yet our power only ever exists in the now
So the question is, in the now what can we do, to be that self we see or difference we want to make? What can we do to be that now and how may it already be here?
All we ever have is now 💗

Keep rising for all,
Love will rise no matter what
Be the love you are 🙏

Why become attached to the clouds,
When you are in fact the whole sky
The clouds will pass 💕

Today I have reached the end of a years learning with A Course in Miracles. It is the end but as with all endings it is also the beginning.
As I reach this point of learning I also recognise that it was more of an unlearning, of all that is not true, all that is not whole.
If I was to give you one main lesson I have taken from this course, it would be this; That you already are everything, already are whole, you are what you’ve been seeking. Yet along life’s journey we can get caught up in an illusion that covers our truth, one that can easily be cast aside in any moment.
In each moment we always have a choice, that is whether to see through illusions or come from our truth.
In that we can see ourselves as either powerless based on fear,
Or as the truth,
The known, the love we really are, all of us, as we were born as.
Being as creators and teachers in all we do.
We always have this choice. ❤
All is here
Only here is now
Only now is here
All is here
As one,
I am here,
As Love
💗

Love and peace to you💗

After practicing Jeet Kune Do for the last 3 months I’ve found myself having some philosophical insights and reflections after classes, so I’ve decided to add this as a regular topic on my blog in hope these insights may also be of some inspiration to you.
The following is my latest insight, please do share your thoughts and comments too. Thank you. 🙏
Detatchment and Attachment
Ultimately it’s about detachment, in detachment you have conscious awareness and control. You are able to direct your energy where it is you choose to go.
Find and attach as you need and is right to do, at the right timing and then let go.
You are your own unit of conscious energy, learn and trust in your directing of it. Only then can you be equally aware of where others are and what they are doing.
In order to not be directed, you need to be detached in the sense that you are the observer – to direct, you need to be in control, in charge of where you are at all times, always- knowing.
From here you are really in a position to guide and teach others because you can see all and be all- you can adapt, direct & let go.
This is full awareness from the ultimate whole – it sees all – it’s not in a fixed position – it flows, it adapts. Be like water therefore, don’t attach, be the flow, always moving, flowing, adapting and changing. Always letting go.
In letting go you find new things, new ways- you open your mind. You are never fixed or stuck but always moving as you need to, just like water.
Sometimes you may direct and sometimes you are directed, sometimes it is still and balanced but it is never fixed. Everything changes and has to change otherwise it does not grow.
Water within is always centred but it adapts as it needs to- to the environment- to the one it’s with. To learn, grow and move, it adapts, it follows. Only then may it rise and as it’s stronger it can guide rather than be guided.
Trust within that you do and will adapt and flow just as you need to do, that your energy is one, always is and always will be. Therefore use your mind, trust with feeling that wherever you go is the right way, as you are always learning.

Looking back on 2015 I feel it’s been a journey of many inner transformations, some very challenging.
However from everything no matter how challenging can come positive, as long as we seek it and change it that way. I’ve developed on my spiritual path more than ever as my faith has truly deepened. Making this even more important was at a point earlier this year I almost gave up.
The most important lesson I learnt in this was to never look outside myself. I have to regularly remind myself of this but ultimately the one who is solely responsible for everything in my life in terms of how I shape it is me.
I achieved external goals too but ultimately and most powerfully I began to truly love myself as infinitely worthy and that we all are equally worthy just as we are.
Any goals I set now always come from here and therefore i know that by serving this truth and purpose I teach it too. Nothing we ever do or achieve makes us more or less valuable, we are always infinitely worthy and loved, therefore anything we do can and should be a joy and those things that come to us that are challenging can be turned around this way.
I wish you all an amazing 2016 with all the victories and joys you infinitely deserve. Thank you always for following and supporting me this year. Much love Miranda ❤
It’s all up to you
Not everything that happens can be positive, but it can always be shaped this way,
Not everyone who comes in to our life accepts us, but there is always a lesson to take,
Not everyone who comes in our life stays here but in our hearts they will always remain,
Life is full of changes
Some are bitter and some sweet,
In our hearts however a constancy will always stay,
In anything, anytime
Whatever you choose to take with you, Is your choice and yours alone
If you are love;
You always will be
Allow everything to serve you this way,
It’s all up to you;
Whatever you choose, simply allow it to be,
When coming from love; you are always free ❤

With the recent Paris attacks as well as others around the world I felt the need to share this with the hope it may touch and help some, please do share if you find it helpful.
When events like this happen it makes all of us question, how can we find truth and peace? When Gandhi stated ‘be the change you wish to see in the world’, there was so much wisdom in his words, because it always starts with us, always.
When we can move beyond our own divisions and see the truth in ourselves and others, this creates ripples throughout the world.
Truth is a word that’s often associated with right and wrong and sometimes used to create further division. Here I’m not speaking of this, instead I’m speaking of the truth that is and exists in everyone, in all of us and everything.
To look on a surface level when we live in a materialistic world can be easy to do and a natural default, however we are far more than this. When we look beyond this surface to see the truth, we can see it in everyone.
There are no opposites, there is no division, it’s all made up. Beyond this illusion there is only love and its all there is, its our creative energy and it’s the truth of what we all are.
No matter what illusions may come about in the world of perceptions, opposites and divisions, this truth even though we can’t see it is the real power precisely because it’s all that is and just because we can’t see it, it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Never lose faith in truth and peace, there is always hope, its in the smallest things.
When we connect to our true reality and more of us do so, all divisions and oppositions become meaningless and powerless. This may appear hard to do , yet it is only love that is our natural state and fear is illusion in this reality.
Fight only with love, we are all one. Let’s all choose truth and peace. May peace and love be with you and your loved ones today and everyday ❤
“Love is what we were born with, fear is what we learned here” ~Marianne Williamson
People are either loving
Or in need of love;
There are no exceptions to this,
Yet the reality is;
The answer lies within all of us,
As we are all made of love ❤

In truth we are all whole and one, yet we live in a world that appears to function on the illusion of separateness. As though we are somehow against each other and taught that we are never enough and so always have to strive to do, be and have more.
I myself have fallen victim to this illusion of not being enough for most of my life. Now I’m on a journey where everyday I commit to this not being so; to instead come from a place of love and oneness. Where I know myself, everyone and everything are whole, complete and equally worthy just as we are ❤
Where all is whole and one
All that is, is;
All else you perceive to be happening,
Or to have happened;
Doesn’t exist
There is no need,
There’s nothing wrong;
In truth, there is only love,
Where all is whole and one,
There is only beauty and love ❤
