I have signed up for and am taking the class with Oprah and reading the book A New Earth.
This book resonates with me on so many levels and my poetry which is also spiritual in nature reflects the same sense or take on life as viewed in this book.
I absolutely love it!
I highly recommend this book for people to read.
It is packed with many jewels and gems and is another item for my treasure chest.
When he talks about evolve or die as a collective, I personally went through that sort of shift in my own life in the past 2 years and at times resist that same shift and other times fly through the door. I have noticed for a few years now that sense of awe that Oprah and Eckhart talk about. I noticed it first with water coming out of my faucet. I had been starting this major transformation at that time about 2 years ago and some months after much inner work and tenacious prayer and meditation I noticed a new appreciation for life emerging from me that sprung forth a feeling of enchantment where everything seemed more magical, more beautiful, more sensual, more ALIVE! It is a wonderful feeling. It brought a sense of sacredness to my consciousness and something in me shifted.
Two poems of mine that speak of this are below:
Birds sing sweeter Trees dance Through the wind The sky glistens Sunlight fills the day The moon becomes my face Stars burn brighter Bees don’t sting Flowers become Beautiful colors of delight Dancing on light Everything Looks sweet To my sight (from my book Journey of A Woman) Casting Away Shadows
The light has come Dancing into the light The shadows barely there (from my book Casting Away Shadows)
To cast away the shadows
In time’s remaining hands
All that was left undone
Becomes a finished chore
Of remembrance
Of who I am
My sacredness
A key I have turned
Unlocking
My worthiness
With timid hands
That forgot
How to shine
Anymore
As they come
Into the light
To merge
Into wholeness
