A week ago, I was out exploring with a friend in the Porcupine Mall (Porcupine,Ontario) and I discovered the greatest little store.
I felt compelled to enter this store and when I entered the greatest sense of peace came over me. I felt at home and at one with the Divine.
Harmony House Religious Book Store is filled with Christian books, music and inspirational and Divinity merchandise. The staff are the friendliest, most positive and sweetest people I have ever encountered.l
In the silence of the night
I heard a voice call out to me
“Be still” it said softly
Following the directions spoken
I laid on my bed eyes closed gently
Listening for the next message to be said
As I laid upon my cushy bed
Visions began to fill my head
“What do they mean?” I timidly asked
Everything I saw moved so fast
Suddenly as if the speed changed pace
I saw a beam of light bright and pure
Looking further I saw the most beautiful face
His eyes were so loving and full of care
His smile alone made life seem perfect and fair
He reached out his hand to bring me near
Strangely I knew I had nothing to fear
Gently taking his hand in my own
He said “fear not child” I will take you home
It seemed in an instant the scenery changed
All of the buildings were rearranged now
I blinked my eyes and saw a majestic site
A building seemed to shine with white glowing light
Slowly I walked to its beautiful wooden door
Turning to Him I asked “can I go in”
He smiled and spoke so eloquently
“You already know the answer my child”
Pushing the door open enough to peak
I could see so many things of beauty
Stepping further inside I am in a state of awe
“Where am I” i whisper to myself quietly
I felt so calm and it was familiar to me
Like a place in a dream my subconscious freed
“My child, fear not you are now home
You were lost before and decided to roam
I waited till your soul was ready to heal”
Judgement so used
When not our call
Should we not look within first?
Our lives not sin free after all
We say we accept our human race
Yet so eager we try to find flaws
How can we ask for compassion?
But are so willing to declare others a disgrace
Hungrily we beg for companionship
But so often we deny what we only seek
How can we ask for support for ourselves?
When it is not kindness we alone speak
Gone seems to be the lesson of the Golden Rule
Yet we wonder constantly “why me”
How is it we expect respect from others?
Yet we are unwilling to show respect freely
Before we cast the fated stones of hate
Stop and ask yourself “Am i being true?”
Realize that once the stone is cast – it is too late
Remember the forgotten words “Do onto others as ypu would have done unto you!!”
As I sat amongst the silence
Reflecting on my life
A whisper I heard in my ear
The voice I heard was familiar-it’s true
My loved one on an unearthly plane
Spoke to me with love and wisdom Reassured me I had nothing to fear
The answers he said I will find in faith
Return to His house and open your heart
You will find peace in your soul
Forgiveness has always been there
You only have to lift your arms and ask
The door is always open at this Sacred Place
Find your way tomorrow
He expectantly awaits your return
All of the worries you have will be erased
So tomorrow I set out on a journey
Looking for answers I cannot find on my own
Returning back to the comfort of faith
