Around The Corner.... ~ A Poem ~

Around the corner I have a friend
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
She knows I like her just as well

As in the days when I rang her bell,
And she rang mine.
We were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jane"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of her"

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner!-yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir-"
"Jane died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

If you love someone, tell them.
Remember always to say "what you mean".
Never be afraid to express yourself.
Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you.
Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,
They have helped to make you the person you are today,
What it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends.
Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.

Symptoms of Inner Peace ~ A Poem


Symptoms of Inner Peace

A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fears based on past experiences.

An unmistakeable ability to enjoy each moment.

A loss of interest in judging self.

A loss of interest in judging others.

A loss of interest in conflict.

A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.

A loss of ability to worry.

Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.

Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes of the heart.

Increasing susceptibility to love extended by others, combined with uncontrollable urge to extend it.

An increasing tendency to let things happen, rather than make them happen.

Energy & Patience

I have been noticeably moving forward on my own spiritual path over the last few months. Lately, I have felt another strong build up of energy. I see waves of energy all around and others have told me about the many beautiful colours that they see. I don't see colours and haven't seen actual formed shapes as yet, but again my own guides are telling me, "Patience", so maybe that is coming. What I do have is a really deep direct sensing of someone or something which needs passing on to others. The messages I receive from my guides and Angels are so much stronger now, but what I've noticed more recently is the stronger connection I can find with other people's guides and Angels.

Some weeks ago, I was in the middle of my tai chi class when suddenly, an energy form of a wood nymph stepped out from the wall and started jumping up and down in front of me. This little nymph wouldn’t stop until I told my teacher that he was there for her, then he stood over at my teacher's side and gave me a huge grin. Obviously my teacher hadn't been listening to her guides lately so this lovely little fellow used me to get her attention.

There are more and more of these types of instances happening to me and I do love the connection, however often there can be many messages from many guides trying to be relayed at once and it can get rather foggy. I am learning to ask for the messages one at a time and now it seems I am not only practicing patience for my own growth, but teaching patience as well! :)

I feel I am on the path I'm meant to be and am so grateful to have found it. I love what I do and hope I can continue to grow and help others find their way on their own paths. It has been an enjoyable ride so far and I'm sure it's only going to get bigger and better!

Love and many blessings,
Caryl ~♥~

The Time Is Now!

Years ago my watch fell off my wrist at JFK Airport. I was horrified and dragged my poor 3 (then) toddlers all over the airport looking for it. Well, what was I going to do without my watch? I needed it so I wouldn't be late to anything and possibly miss something important! How could I possibly go on without knowing how long I had before I had to be somewhere else or how long before I arrived at my next destination etc... etc... etc...

Wow! I look back at those days now and think that losing my watch was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Why? You may well ask.

Without a watch I have learned to appreciate what I am doing in the "now". I have learnt to make the most of and really enjoy what I am doing, rather than focusing or even worrying about how much longer I may have to do it. Sure, there are still schedules I have to be aware of but I find so much more gets done now and I get so much more out of what I do. When I wore a watch I was always glancing at it, taking my attention away from who I was with or what I was doing, afraid that I would miss my next appointment when in fact, what I was really missing was the experience I was currently having. I was never fully there.

I have never again worn a watch and today, I can honestly say that I fully experience the "now" of everything I do. I live in the present as that is all there really is.

What is the time? The time is now!!
