One Heart Abbey will be a place to go both physically and virtually through a new web site the creator of FindItbyMe.com has very generously offered to create on not just my behalf, but on behalf of the concept of helping others. To that end, FindItByMe.com is hosting on their facilities the site www.OneHeartAbbey.org.

I am in the process of moving both my living quarters and the continuation of my writings and mission to the new site. For the absence of my writings here I offer my humblest apologies and hope that you will extend me your best wishes and prayers to my relocation efforts.

I expect to be settled within the next few weeks, and I promise to post some news to that effect here and on the new site. I am being helped with the preparation of a newsletter to those who would like to be regularly informed of the progress of One Heart Abbey. Please go to the Contact Us page on OneHeartAbbey.org, and I promise to keep you up to date on progress made.

Thank you again and God Bless You All!

 may look at my "existence",

 my "way", my "emotional

 fluctuations" from energetic

 sensations, my walking

 slowly through the town of process

 or running spontaneously

    to cross the border and go

      with the flow of my

    dedication to prayer where

         I contemplate

           to discern

                all

      that is out there     all

      that is in me--

             Psychology, theory, people

             may look at me as

                   being "insecure"

 Well, I am "insecure"

         because I understand

       the security in uncertainty.

             I have often griped

             over not being "logical",

             I have coveted "logic'.

                 Now, I see the

       "illogic" in that thinking-- 

          I now understand it was

           not for me to be "logical",

           for that would have

             skewed the Wisdom, the

             gift spoken to and graced

 upon my intuition, my inhibition uninhibited.

           Logic could very well

                 have been a

           false sense of protection

           a deception that

           would have prevented me

      from being free to be "insecure"

         and survive to live

      securely in my insecurity while

         knowing so intimately

     the only security that exists--

                 uncertainty--

         that fine line of grey

         that carries us to guide us

            as students as teachers

                 as divine revelations

                     to each others'

                   divine mysteries

                  until we realize

                   there is no mystery...

           It is all Divine

                   For your reason

                   For my reason

           at some point

              the process holds purpose

                    for all Divinity

                                            Lord, I know "black or white",

                                     "all or nothing" is not where You

                                     live. It is where the ego resides (all-white)

                                     and fear hides (black-nothing).

                                     It is where punishment and imperfect-

                                     conditional love breed. Grey is

                                     where true love, trust and faith

                                     stay. This I know, for when I

                                     let it go--don't plan,

                                     don't question, don't know

                                     which direction, become still

                                     and silent--You place me safely

                                     with Your hands where You 

                                     want me.

                                                 Grey is where You live.

                                                 Grey is Eternity.

                                                 Grey is what we don't see,

                                                        which is the birth of

                                                        hope and true faith

                                                        at its maturity.

                                                Forever, Abba, keep us aglow

                                                in the shadow of Your Love.

                                                                               Amen. 

                                                                               Love,

                                                                                   Kim

                         My reply..."A perfect human being is one who accepts the imperfection in others and self yet realizes perfect

                                                 Love through that imperfect human condition."

      Then asked, "If you could make one thing come true for all souls on the planet, what would it be?" 

                         My reply..."To fully embrace ourselves as manifestations of God's Love with full awareness that we did not,

                                                 do not create ourselves; to embrace what that Love and Grace mean and share it forth with

                                                                                                         joy and compassion."

          Compliments, acknowledgement of another's gifts and encouragement are beautiful praises we can exchange, but there is a fine line between loving, clear-visioned adoration and praises of idolization that stem from a deep need or void inside our own self.  One of the most healing gifts we can give is to let another not take themself too seriously allowing for more ease in recognition of imperfections -- where we can all enjoy great appreciation for the beauty of humility.  This bath water of humility can wash away so much negativity, fear resentment and pride to fill our pores with the essence of Love that is true.

          Like the stems of a flower, like the branches of a tree, "forks in the road" are just times to sit still for a minute and seek the Face of Love, the sun, the Light of Creation for my next direction  --  photosynthesis so the heart of my soul can drink more chlorophyll where my limbs become more red-wood-evergreen and the  flower of my Love more profuse, until I return to rest in the house of knowledge of Truth...my Roots.

To those of you who are reading these posts, thank you for your time.

               If I knew tomorrow were

                  my last breath, how

                  would I spend tonight?

                        In Mother's arms

                            tracing her face

                            kissing her heart...

                        In Father's arms

                            dancing on his feet

                            kissing his heart...

                        Then from Beautiful

                             who birthed me here

                             out I would glide

                             to Beloved's arms

                             into the eyes of (His) wilderness

                             where the rain speaks to me

                             taps my shoulder

                             in Love's saliva

                             dissolves me in rapture

                             as I nymph to fairy

                             and fly like a dragon

                             under the heart

                                       of the Moon

                              and rise

                                       to Her vision

                                                My body a body no more

                                                My body no-body no form

                                                from His soil no earth

                                                no idea no ideal

                                                no heaven no hell

                                                Mars into Venus

                                                No Mars No Venus

                                                one from two worlds

                                                Beloved

                                                no ground between us...

                                                                                            Love,

                                                                                                   Kim

      For the deepening development of this union we must be willing to set aside our ego.  As difficult as this "sacrifice" may seem at a given moment, ultimately, each time will bring about growth as we break through individual barriers to the "Higher-self" within, which really is no self.  Each breakthrough can increase our awareness of our capacity.  The more the person is willing to be not 1 but 2 or more; to be not 1 but part of the whole, the stronger the relationship.  As the relationship deepens, each one of us has more opportunity to increase our growth toward realizing our fullest capacity in the experience of Love.  I emphasize growth here because really it is full circle return, "regression", to our beginning -- to a time of uninhibited Love.  A time of no question as to who is right or wrong, just an expression, physical manifestation of Love, and a return to spontaneously responding from our deepest source of openness with no fear of wearing our heart for all to see.

      Here we can experience the beautiful in vulnerable, however counter-cultural.  Here we can learn to set aside our ego for relationship with our own innerbeing and lay down the judge to awaken intuition that can teach us to trust again.  Here we can set aside our ego for relationship with our God again, and here we can become more comfortable in inter-being with other.  When we lay down the judge we can learn to take ourselves less seriously and find humor in our human.

                                                                           I give you my eyes

                                                                              In my eyes, I give you my heart,

                                                                                        the well of my faith object

                                                                                              fed by

                                                                                                      Infinite Wisdom

                                                                                                         birthed in

                                                                                                            my soul.

         In so doing, I need remember I cannot expect the same from others, for I have no control over another's behavior nor process.  Therefore, I need remember, if in living open, I am wounded, I am only accountable for remaining true to the nature of being that keeps my soul in alignment and spirit alive in me to overcome blame with forgiveness. Sometimes this may bring about the need for moments of "self-preservation" to honor healing.  However, too much time spent in "self-preservation" can lead to "self-absorption" where, although the body is alive, life is dead.  We need each other.  We need God's Love through each other -- however that connection can be made.

       If we are "loving"someone in our hopes (desire) of their return to someone we once knew them to be, we are not truly loving them for who they are.  Instead we are "loving" them for who we want them to be, and this is not love.  For instead of loving them we are loving what we want.  This seems to harm many relationships.  It is so more loving to allow the other the room, the breath, the encouragement and grace to be who they are as they move through their changes and circumstances.  If this we are not able to do for them, then we are not willing to let go of control.  And when we hold them to some ideal -- even if done so in utmost subtlety -- we push our so-called loved-one into reactionary behaviors as they try desperately to hold onto some sense of who they are and who they are becoming.  We create fear rather than Love.
