"Spiral Into Ecstasy-Zoom We're Out of Here"

"Spiral Into Ecstasy- Zoom We're Out of Here" Marjorie Lipari©1990


A Prayer a Day
09/29/10 
World wide and gentle
Bright eyed and tender
Genius thinking mind bender
Flying through the stars
Aiming straight for mars
Holy bolder
Stratum stroller
Explorers in the field
Tapping real
Tracking truthful
Steadfast loyal
More than fruitful
Habitats of innocence
Circling the globe
Lifting heavy burdens
Lightening someone’s load
Rooted in antiquity
Sensing there is more to see
Journey 's good
Would we could
Spiral into ecstasy
Deeply Respectful,
Rev. Mudra

"Lightness Begot"Marjorie Lipari©2010

A Prayer a Day
09/28/10
Feeling our feelings
Dealing our dealings
Looking each challenge straight in the eye
Giving /Inspiring
Thinking/Inquiring
As the sun and the moon loom high in the  sky
Love is the stuff  for sure we’re made of
Everywhere all ways rainbows above
Pray war we retire
Pray peace we acquire
Stoking the wisdom taming the flaming
Manifesting creating debating proclaiming
Knowing ourselves
Declaring our goals
Feeding our spirits
Seeding our souls
Deepening  sight
Sanctioning lot
Trusting this life
Lightness begot
Deeply Respectful,
Rev. Mudra

"Life Wills On Her Own" Mystical Philosophy/A Prayer a Day©2010

"Forest Goddess" Marjorie Lipari©1990






A Prayer a Day


09/26/10


It matters not if I wish to stop time..... for it is ceaseless.


Life wills on her own into the future.




I sometimes spend  far too many moments in my head re-living events of the past.




There are experiences seemingly impossible to dismiss from memory.




 I can still feel myself sitting outside my home as a seven year old , in Merrick Long Island... waiting endless hours for the arrival of a BIG plastic swimming pool for our back yard.




I remember each agonizing second... very far from patiently awaiting the arrival of the truck... sitting there on the  front steps in anticipation... excited and anxious to be swimming in a BIG pool ...to be  playfully laughing and exchanging splashes with my siblings.


That pool finally did come.




I think it was a weeks worth of little kid waiting.




 Back then it felt like a year.




Today from where I sit, a year feels like a splash


and a week feels less than a drop of water.




How strange our perceptions.


I pray my perception today be accurate ,


though the nature of perception can only


behold a mere piece of truth... if at all.




 Mind can only perceive fragments of truth.


Praying now...




Out of mind... into deep sight.... beyond the senses.


May I go inward toward greater awareness and spiritual sight


where time is not an issue and of matter ... I need not be of concern.


Floating with wings into a grace filled light spiral


past limited imagination... into the realm of the REAL.




Body calm.


Mind still.



Merging into wisdom.




Here I gather seeds for holy flowering


to live my time a lotus... blooming.


Deeply Respectful,


Rev. Mudra

Mystical Philosophy/A Prayer a Day/Inside Last Night's Dream

"GRAND DESIGN" Marjorie Lipari©2005

A Prayer a Day
09/25/10

I looked inside last night’s dream to study more of self
Gone from sight some value carried...trusted to illusion 's shelf

Late was I... for promised service...rapidly reduced to nervous

I looked... I searched... yet no success... I sought to no avail
The drama...
locate missing article....lord knows a common tale

Emotions clocked

Thoughts ticked then tocked

Time pressured hard it’s lead

I circled round and round and round...accelerating speed

Hey hey... dream weavers... make clear... come guide

Unearth unconscious claws

And then my cat attentions me....with hunger 's morning paws

Rescued real by daylight bringers
from dreaming struggles and shadow singers

Reviewing now.....and waking up....attempting to surmise

What must I know.... what must I learn

Dream's details compromised

Pray wisdom’s nuzzle....completes the puzzle

And each day's gleaning....bares sacred meaning

Deeply Respectful,
Rev. Mudra

Taken at Retreat
2010



A Prayer a Day


09/24/10

May we act one with the spirit of the light.
May we be conscious with
our body /mind and in this life of ours.

May we be selfless in as many
instances as is possible.

May we be tender with our human selves.

May we be truthful about our mortal needs.

May spirit keep us aware of any wrong steps
we might take....as we venture upon the paths of life.

May we relax our ego arguments to be willing

to make corrections without self blaming or projecting

outward onto another.

holding captive our ability to creatively think a new.

May we let go past confusions and
open to clear spaces within.

May we strengthen our relationship
with the sacred and the real in wholeness.

May we be illuminated in the grace of the I AM.

Mystical Philosophy/A Prayer a Day"Light and Shadow"

"Light and Shadow"Marjorie Lipari©2003

A Prayer a Day


09/23/10


And we sway our hips and

shuffle our footsteps across the dance floors of  life.

With pep in our step and light in our giving.

Gathering sensitivity to the pulsations of each others' reality.

Timing is everything and rhythm a trophy.

Synchronicity rides the thrill of god - waves.

Living with smiles on our faces.

Receiving what’s needed with trust beating our hearts.

Polishing our minds with love unconditional.

Honoring our dreams.

Having no resistance to shadow.

Knowing light partners shadow.




Accepting our humanity.

Becoming spiritually stronger every day.

Praying each moment for truth to present,

 and for mortal embrace to hold courage and grace.


Deeply Respectful,

Rev. Mudra

Whose The Real Artist?

" Whose the Real Artist ? " Marjorie Lipari©2010

A Prayer a Day

09/22/10


Sweet turnings of the season

What alters begs a reason

Transition sows good treasure

Spirit reaps light ‘s pleasure

Color hues are changing

Nature’s rearranging

Happenings that shake the mighty

Challenging the lost and flighty

Sway each day

 Do the dance

Dare the spin

Take the chance

Stirring up the tides of love

Prayerful smoke lifts up above

Sacred voices message you

Prayerful ones keep living true


Deeply Respectful,

Rev. Mudra

The Source of Light/ Mystical Philosophy A Prayer a Day©2010

A Prayer a Day

09/17/10


I would that I could fly to the

branches of god ‘s trees and sing as a sweet winged.

I would that I could dive into the sea

 and live as holy dolphin.

But alas I am of mortal coil.

I am to face the tasks at hand.

I will to do the best I can.

To execute this human plan.

   Teach me mother.

Guide me father.

Join me sister.

Dance me brother.

I pray as spiritual samurai.

To make a sacred climb.

I pray as planet ‘s ally.

To ride the waves of time.

 I pray for mind.... as is confused.

I ask forgiveness.... if I abused.

I open up my heart.... still wider.

I offer love....the light provider.



Deeply Respectful,

Rev. Mudra

Feel the joy of rain
Cultivate the mind
Bless the human brain
Regulate the temperament
Let the river flow

Breathe each moment
Allow the Self  to BE
There is No Thing needs believing

"Face of God" Marjorie Lipari©1991
  A Prayer a Day

May our communications be
so very far away from self centered. 
 
May we remain alert to any vitriolic seeds in us. 
 
May it be made beneficently obvious to us
when we are off the mark.

May our friends be loyal and honest
and may we be the same with them.
 
May love restore our balance.
 
May we behave harmlessly with deep
respect for the sacred within each of us.

May we live together this life
in purposeful manifestations of compassion.

 May we all bring our light to this reality.

Beckoning from here to the Holy Mother
that she increase our divine instructions
in the artful skills of spirit.

May we grow the rays of healing light
to some day humbly see the face of god.

In Service,

"China Glow" Marjorie Lipari©2009
A Prayer a Day
09/04/10
Recently I was reminded of the virtue in thanking
those who have been my teachers throughout the years.
 Today I send out into this Mother Universe  a wealth of gratitude
and  a depth of appreciation to all of my teachers.
Past, present and future. Seen and Unseen.
 I am this day who I am because of  a generosity of hearts. 
Thanking mentors, friends, lovers,guardians, authors,
artists,musicians, dancers, every animal I have 
ever encountered, and every set of baby eyes 
I have ever looked into and seen god 's truth.
I have  been given to learn so much and pledge
to forever be a student open to the next moment.
I bow to all of life and every aspect of natures ways.
I am grateful to be on this mortal journey and to be
walking a path toward my soul ‘s eternal freedom.
The trees that sway in the breeze teach by display 
their surrender into the changing seasons and the cycles of life.
The currents and swells of the sea message
powerful cosmic signals informing the emotional body.
I thank my spirit guidance and my angelic teachers.
I thank the Great Grandmother in the world of the divine.
I thank the genius of light 's ray and the flutter of butterfly.
Pray life teach me clearly.... who I am.
I honor the spirit of each and every one of my teachers.
May the mentor keep showing up.
May I be the very best of students. 
Praying with a fullness of being, that I may be spirit ‘s echo.
Humbled in divine guidance.

Deeply Respectful,
Rev. Mudra
