Inspired moment

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of sun and mountainUndulating, strong, serene
Peace on Earth
As above so below
Lungs of this world
Breathe life

Resuscitate
Expired, empty fragments
Of consciousness
Birthed as One
Wholly unified

Restore truth
Of One Source
Eternal Will
Supplicates in surrender
The mortal being

For unto us a child is born

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of a deer

Long ago a child was born
His mother chaste and pure
He held a love the world had lost
His heart would bring its cure

The prophets had foreseen this One
The Light of love reborn
And all who kept the vigil knew
A promise was forsworn

This One would be a Kingly man
No jewels or gold need He
But Love and Peace and Gentleness
His throne would oversee

Into our world the Prince of Peace
Made entrance from the sphere
Where Angels’ voices still create
The Gloria atmosphere

So ‘Christ on High Messiah reigns’
The Angels all do sing
And Mary Queen of Heaven hails
Hosanna to our King

I Am

I am …
I am …

I say to myself

I am …

I am love
I say
I am kindness
I am peace
I am lightness

And then
From its healing
Each word
Becomes feeling

As peace
Starts to grow
My heart
Starts to know

I Am … Love

I Am … Kindness

I Am … Peace

I Am … Lightness

I Am

I Am

I Am

Deep calm

Waves of soothing calmness
Flowing through my heart

Spilling over all distress
It’s the healing art

Rippling subtle energies
From the Source of Love

Emanating peace and light
Within and from Above

Guarding Angel gracefully
Let your beauty shine

Speak of Love ethereal
Light, and soul divine

Whisp and float serenely
Lighter than the air

Messenger from heaven
Precious, sweet and fair

A vegan life — naturally compassionate

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

image of a cowChoosing a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle is growing in popularity. More and more people understand the many benefits to be gained from this choice.

Compassion, kindness and peace of mind, as well as improved energy and physical health, to name a few.

Yet conventional thinking considers eating meat to be normal and good for you.

Being vegan, therefore, is often viewed by mainstream thinking to be a radical approach to life.

Few seem to stop to consider the radical nature of factory farming, with its breeding and slaughtering of food animals en masse to turn a buck and satisfy the lust for meat. Continue reading

Being vegan — the harmless way to live

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of lambsI love animals.

I love them in the same way I love trees, mountains, the ocean; all of nature.

And, although I wasn’t a child who fussed or fretted about animals, I would dearly have loved a little cat of my own. But that was really the extent of my interest in pets.

I didn’t feel a need to acquire a menagerie, or possess or pat every animal in sight. I simply appreciated the differences and beauty they offered to my experience of life.

At Easter time, when we traveled to the country to visit family, along the way Dad would point out the lambs that had just been docked or the sheep which had just been shorn.

At these times, I always felt that there was something unnatural and unkind about what had been done to those animals.

They were being shorn as Autumn was arriving.

Of course, I now understand the kindness behind docking — albeit unnatural and imposed.

But my natural, first impression, was an unpleasant sinking feeling and an overwhelming surge of compassion. Especially for the little baby lambs. Continue reading

Awaken!

Image of lighthouse and children

Image: garlandcannon

Awaken children and let us see,
The Shining Light that is meant to be;
Shone forth in freedom and in love,
Sent from the Dear Ones from above.
To rid us all of the Dark Foes’ night,
Whose shadows hide the ephemeral Light.
Which keeps us safe and free from harm
and wraps around us peaceful calm.
So with this knowledge held within,
We easily move through the worldly din.
To find what it is we’re looking for:
The gateway to the Heavenly door.

I shall be with you

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of light connecting with mind

Image: Spirit-Fire

Ready the Hand that carries
Minds shall be at peace
Watchful of the morning
Fear shall ever cease

Ever a day is burdened
Light shall pass right through
Till all pain is lifted
I shall be with you

See a bright new morrow
Taken in its stride
Whilst all children slumber
Be My faithful bride

On and on they tarry
Each day like the last
Never take a moment
To be of My caste

When the pain is lifted
All minds free of fear
Hearts and minds connected
Bliss and peace so dear

Presently I come

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a robin in snow

Image: Duncan Brown

Presently
I come to thee
And hold thee
In My Palm

In all the world
I see a child
With courage, faith
And charm

She holds a feeling
Dearly close
For all to know
My Word

It is the morning
Of the time
When all shall hear
My Bird

Readily
I hasten forth
And touch each heart
Anew

To bring the children
Of the world
A light of
Brightest hue

The Holy Spirit’s
Message
For all who have the
Ear

Is Love and Peace
And Harmony
To overcome all
Fear

So be together
All in love
Is what the Bird
Doth say

And with this feeling
Held with hope
All hearts shall find
Their way

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Dearest Holy Spirit,

I ask to receive You into
my heart and mind today.
I ask for You be with me
in all of my endeavours,
and to guide me with
Your knowledge and Your love.
Help me to see the Truth,
in the hearts and minds
of all those I meet.
And please place in my mind,
all that You would have me give,
for us to feel Your Presence
and Your Power.
I surrender myself fully
to Your service.
May I experience Your Peace,
Thank You, Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Freedom’s call

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

image of a stairway

Image: ddrekus_gr

Rid my heart of all that’s waste
See the shore with rhythmic haste
Touch the sky
Know why I
Say goodbye
Released

Seem to know the troubled hearts
Pierced by fear’s defensive darts
Peace to be
Pure and free
Forever me
Pain ceased

Next time when the call is made
Light ensures the truest aid
Rest a while
To compile
Truth’s real smile
With Me

Now that you have learned the key
To life’s peace and tranquillity
Share it all
Have a ball
Don’t be small
Be Free

Truth’s promise

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a golden compass

Image: geebee2007

Everyday I wait in faith
The Truth alive I see
And everything I come to know
As Truth it comes from Thee

All the Angels lay in wait
To call all children near
So that time might be erased
And lessons become clear

Every mind that hears the call
Ready soon will be
And every heart awake in Truth
Will fly to heaven free

All time and space will disappear
As Truth and Love stand strong
Reality will rule the hearts
Of all before too long

God’s time on earth approaches now
The Angels forge the way
The Holy Spirit whispers
To God’s children each new day

So ready is God’s Kingdom
To Light the world again
With all the goodness lost to us
All sorrow at an end

Each child alone will make a choice
For God or wordly dreams
This is the Free Will talked about
In all of history’s reams

As we move towards the time
Of Love and Light and Truth
We make our vigil nourished with
The wholesomeness of youth

Innocence and blessedness
And Peace and Joy and Love
And blessings are the treasures
Given from all Those above

Treasure found within

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a ball of light

Image: Spirit-Fire

Take this Orb contained within
Light the night sky bright
Fill each vessel from the port
Of thy blessed sight

Steady with each step you take
Forward is the way
Every hand that’s filled with hope
Defeats the dark night’s fray

When all the world is joined in love
And every heart is true
And all eyes see the blessedness
Of every peaceful view

We all above have triumphed
As joy fills every day
Because each Orb contained within
Is lit and shines the Way

Silver Light
Attending Angel: Archangel Gabriel

Dearest Holy Mother,

Please help me to remember that You are my Mother.
Help me to remember that I am not alone.
Shower upon me Your loving Light,
and comfort me with Your merciful heart.
Teach me compassion for myself and all living things.
Teach me strength for myself and all living things.
Teach me respect for myself and all living things,
so that I can live in happiness and peace.
Please loving Mother, reach Your tender hand
down into my life today and make right
all that seems wrong.
Touch my mind with Your truth and wisdom so that
I can see these errors and correct them.
Walk with me today, please, and guide me on the
Path to Truth.
Loving Mother,
I entrust myself to Your care.
Thank You,
Amen.

Prayer for reliving the past

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a droplets on a web

Image: Jenny Downing

Dear God,

I am afraid of reliving my past.
Please help me to remember,
that I have grown and changed.
I have had many wonderful experiences
in my life,
that have shown me a glimpse
of my true Self.
There is a part of me,
I have found,
that is strong and at peace.
Which gives love freely,
and sees the good in all things.
Please dear Lord,
help me to remember.
Show me what I have to do to remember You,
in everyone and everything.

Thank You
Amen.
