Let it Bloom

Note from Suzanne: This week Ty and I attended a really fun Christmas party. All present were separated into four groups for a variety of games. For one of these games each team was given a word and had to write a poem based on that word (ours was “sausage!”). I couldn’t believe how hard it was for us to come up with the required 16 rhyming lines. We really struggled, and in the end our poem was pretty bad. Everyone kept looking at me and saying, “Come on, Suzanne! You write poetry!” And I said, “No, I don’t! Spirit gives me those words!” It’s true that over 400 poems have come through my pen, but if I tried to insert myself in the process, the result would have been as bad as our pathetic sausage poem and the effort just as painful! This morning I sat and asked for Sanaya’s message. After two sentences I recognized a poem and smiled. The words flowed non-stop with total ease. Why? Because I got out of the way and let Spirit speak. In that meditative state I had connected with higher consciousness, and the result is the poem which follows, given to me from Sanaya in all of three minutes … Thanks for joining me to enjoy this inspiration from Spirit. Read the words, then go on out and smell the roses.

Pick a flower from your garden.
Put it in a vase.
To smell its fragrance and see it there
Does bring a smile to your face.

That power is the love you feel
Each time you stop and pause
It’s then you know that all you see
Is the effect of one great Cause.
