Greetings Rev Bill
Here is another poem that I just finished, I hope you like it. William


Today Is The Day
Waking in the morning where glories have their choice
This can be a day to feel the potential to raise your arms and rejoice
Today a day more than the negative neighborhood and media community
Today is not just another day, it be here now, full of opportunity

Turning over as one rises from bed into all the potential of each day
Yesterdays are only memories, today is the gift, unwrap it your way
Yes unwrap with gratitude, give thanks for the links and connection
Build them, your ideas into links beyond the mundane that give direction

How those mind directions always seem to be dancing about
Beyond the normal, enticing one to journey beyond yesterday's doubt
Into that fresh start, the downing calls forth into the beyond
Travel, where did I meet those people that offered the foresight to respond

Yes to the journey and those kilometers of surprise
Yes to the smiles of wisdom that uplift and organize
And I be now ready to push forward into greater understanding
As I imagine Spirit smiling with the inner commanding and expanding

As Einstein said "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile"
"Peace cannot be kept by force, it can be achieved by understanding"
"Logic will get you from A to B, imagination will take you everywhere"
"Imagination is everything it is the preview of life's coming attractions"

When reading poetry what thoughts play on your mind?
On hearing from esteemed scholars are you more aligned?
As their thoughts are played are they easily embraced
Do they change one's thinking with prior programming erased

Have you found that poetry builds bridges for you
As it gives the opportunity to reflect and wisdom accrue
Into this preordained time of change where we write and build
This precious time where we come together to be fulfilled

This planet, this time, let your words play the score
Write into poetry all you feel with your heart to thus explore
Building that brotherhood, sisterhood, beyond a world of war
Wars that exist now ,so heart into hand write together to restore

Quotes from Fillmore Women

                

From the writings of Myrtle Fillmore:
The light of God revealed to us-the thought came to me first-that life was of God, that we were inseparably one with the Source, and that we inherited from the divine and perfect Father. What that revelation did to me at first was not apparent to the senses. But it held my mind above negation, and I began to claim my birthright and to act as though I believed myself the child of God, filled with His life. I gained. Others saw that there was something new in me. They asked me to share it. I did.

Others were healed, and began to study. My husband continued his business, and at first took little interest in what I was doing. But after a time he became absorbed in the study of Truth too. We consecrated ourselves to the Lord, and kept doing daily that which we felt led to do. We began to prosper, a little at a time, and our health continued to improve."

"We have a very decided part; we are to cease worrying, and being anxious, and thinking and speaking of the past and of the apparent lack and idleness. We are to concentrate all our attention upon the Truth of God, and the truth of our own being, upon the very things we would see taking place in our lives. We cannot do this so long as we have negative thoughts in our hearts."

"Prayer is an exercise to change our thought habits and our living habits, that we may set up a new and better activity in accord with the divine law, rather than with the suggestions we have received from various sources."

"When we let light flood us with its sunshine, all clouds vanish and we begin to see ourselves in new ways of doing, which lead to wholeness and health and satisfaction and growth."

Unity's Most Basic Principles - Myrtle Fillmore:
"I do not believe in evil. I believe in Good. I do not believe in sin. I believe in Truth. I do not believe in want. I believe in Abundance. I do not believe in death. I believe in Life. I do not believe in ignorance. I believe in Intelligence. There are no discords in my being. Being is peace. My faith, understanding and love are becoming one. 'What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put as under.'
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

From the Writings of Rosemary Fillmore Rhea (Granddaughter of Myrtle)

(When asked in an interview: What word do you love the sound of?)
"Peace. The word brings to mind thoughts of tranquility, a feeling of being in unity and harmony with the energy of life…. The word peace always reminds me that no matter what I experience, I have a choice of how I react. I can strike out with anger and fear or I can choose peace. When I choose peace, I not only help myself, but I help make our world a little more peaceful."

Great Granddaughter Connie Fillmore Bazzy (from Keys to the Kingdom):

"So what is Unity? Unity is a family of loved ones drawn together by their mutual belief in an idea. The idea that holds us is that of a good and all-powerful God whose love indwells us and gives us everything we need to lead healthy, happy, productive lives. This idea and the people who believe it have created incredible blessings of positive thought and prayer in our word."
Connie's Five Fundamentals of Truth: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

1. God is absolute good, everywhere present.
2.Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ Spirit within. Their very essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
3.Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking. Everything in the manifest realm has its beginnings in thought.
4.Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God-Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity and everything good.
5.Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough. A person must also live the truth that he or he knows.

Rev Radth Youngman

What a wonderful vision Judith Durham presents in her lyrics for Advance Australia Fair!:
Australians let us stand as one, upon this sacred land
A new day dawns, we're moving on to trust and understand.
To trust is to have faith, to have hope.

As Sir John Templeton, in his essay on understanding in New Thought for the New Millennium: Twelve Powers
for the 21st Century

Understanding brings to the heartful, open, perceiving power of faith a capacity to be broadminded, inlculsive and generous.

In her book, Your God-Given Potential, Winifred Wilkinson Hausmann, writes:

The awakening of our own faculty of understanding starts with questioning-questioning the
ways of thinking that you may have been taken for granted. The desire for understanding leads to
thinking about what is learned and seeking to put it all together in a body of information that will
provide a basis for living.

Judith's lyrics continue from to trust and understand…

Combine our ancient history and cultures everywhere,
To bond together for all time, advance Australia fair.

MY EVERYDAY MAGIC

  

To live without magic, for me, would be tragic
Such a lack would sadden my day
Give me premonitions and strange apparitions
The miraculous, the quirky, the fey.

I like the magical, the mystical, the not egotistical
The enchantment of forces in cosmic array
The intuitive insight that turns out to be right
Then helps me upon my way.

To me the epitome of serendipity
Is the coincidence that arrives today
Full of magic and mystery, it changes my history
And it can't be explained away.

Give me studies theosophical, or stories apocryphal
Let me hear what they have to say
Such a phantasmagoria fills me with euphoria
And keeps dull old logic at bay.

Keep your sense and your reason, the latest theory in season
Don't theorise my magic away
Save your thoughts noetic, let me see justice poetic
Balance the scales by a curious play.

Come, tear the veil asunder, feel the magic, the wonder
And let me see the world as I may
Sense the fairies all glimmering, the Angel's wings shimmering
Through the prosaic events of the day.
