Happy Valentine’s Day!
It is said, St Valentine, while isolated in his courtyard, could hear children playing on the other side of his walls. So, he wrote them little notes of LOVE and sent they sailing over his wall, when heard them there. It is said he shed tears of JOY as he listened to them read his notes. He never spoke…he was under a vow of silence!
The Love in me is the Love in you, is the LOVE of I AM…..so, I celebrate LOVE !

I received this beautiful Hallmark card and want to share it with you…..

Because…..We Are ALL Peach Pit Planters!

(Picture on top of the card is a Turtle watering a pot…..)

A Story About YOU!

Who in their Life

hasn’t planted a peach pit

just hoping that somehow

a seedling would grow?

And then they move on

to some other adventure 

and if it comes up ~~

well, they don’t even know.

(opening the card….the turtle is now standing under a beautiful Peach Tree)

That’s one way

of picturing your style of living.

You’ve planted ideas

and dreams unaware.

You’ve noticed somebody

whose heart needs attention

and planted a positive feeling in there.

It’s part of your nature.

You may not remember

the kind and encouraging

things that you’ve done….

But everywhere,

“peach pits”

are growing like crazy,

and people are blooming.

(I know it – I’m one!)

The MUNK’s note:(Not “The End” ~ This is just the BE-ginning!)

“Thank YOU” to…..all you……        

               ONEderful Peach Pit Planters!

Always Love…..says, The MUNK   

  Knowing there is NO JUNK!

Yesterday morning, as I left Bumpity…..

This is the vision given to me…..

Light rays beam through barren winter trees!

Fog blanket hovers over sleeping Mother Earth!

Squirrels scamper finding stores of nuts…..

Birdsong calls for a time of re-birth!

A day full of Awe and Wonder….

Will I BE “AWE”-ware? 

Will I BE “Present to” and “One” with the ONEder?

Is my intent enough to DARE?

As the fog blanket lifts….

and the present of this day is unwrapped!

A sense of ONEder fills me…..

In Awe I see the day…..BE-come un-trapped!

Like the day, I am free to BE!

How will I choose to BE and see?

If this moment is all I AM given….

I choose to say, “I LOVE YOU” and “Life is sure worth Livin’!”

So, If you choose……JOIN me today!

Living life in a full LOVE-ing way

“Always LOVE” says, The MUNK, Who NOW sees nothing as JUNK!

• 

On a cold winter day….

Two little golden kittens went out to play!

The “Old Man” and “Tiger Momma” were nearby….

So, on the kittens they could spy!

The golden Ones frolic and romp….

Hiding behind an old tree stump….

Climbing log mountain in the wood shed….

In hidey holes is where they often lay their head….

Tentatively, they spy a prey…..

Stalking bravely, yet gingerly…..all the way…..

Then with a pounce….they did attack….

What are they after?….Momma’s back!

Could you find the kittens?

• 

ALWAYS LOVE, says . The MUNK!

From the gray of night….emerged a pink glow…..

Then across the tree line it did grow….

At first so very slow….

Then like a dam had burst….

The Sky quenched its thirst!

Pinks and beginning yellow hues….

across the sky the color spews!

New day…a brand New WAY!

The LOVE of I AM is here to Stay!

Share this gift of LIFE today!

In your very own LOVE-ing WAY!

~~~ALWAYS LOVE, SAYS . THE MUNK!

A thin white sheet of snow covers the ground…..

Smart little kittens are no where to be found!

Squirrel scampers down the old oak tree….

Another acorn to hide, you see!

1 to 3 inches of snow is now predicted….

I choose to have my travel restricted!

This affords me time to think and ponder….

Where has 2019 gone…..I wonder!

Blessing from this time do abound….

My heart beats a grateful sound!

A time….to Thank each ONE of YOU!

For all YOUR Time and all WE DO

Life is full of so much this year!

I am full of JOY and raise this CHEER!

For ALL of YOU who have come my WAY!

In my heart….is where you stay!

Grateful am I….for Blessings that UNFOLD!

My gratitude will not be UnTold!

You see this year has been a gift given….

As I proclaim….LIFE is Truly worth LIVING!

Words spoken to me….ring through my brain….

fill my soul with a JOYful refrain!

From smiles and nods…

to howdy and hello….

handshakes….shrugs….hugs….

all bring a warm glow…..

To words spoken on the go….

“Thank you! The food is great!”

“Now hurry along so you won’t be late!”

“Your gentle touch and your warm smile…. 

give you such a loving style”

“I die in peace, Life was not in vane….”

from another:”I have a reason to live these last days….

” as he gasped for breath without distain.

He thanked everyone who came his way….

So glad for BE-ing….it was plain….

I join him saying now to you!

I am grateful for the moments and words we have had!

Thank you for BE-ing! YOU!

YES, YOU, BE-ing YOU!

A foggy heaviness in the air…..

Yes, strange for this time of year!

In the stillness of this gentle fog….

Patter of scampering feet reach my ear!

Two little golden kittens….

Cautiously exploring the wood shed….

Among the stacks of wood….

Are hidey holes, that are their bed!

In Bumpity….a warm wood  fire glows….

Just enough to warm my cold nose!

My eyes wander to the picnic table….

On the other side of the sunrise room….

There….on the corner of the table….. 

My eye does spy!    A brand new bloom!

New Life is Born this Christmas Day…

Yes, this is I AM’s/Creation Way….

To remind us that everyday LOVE is given….

Recognizing this makes LIFE worth the Livin’!

So, each and every day….

No matter where you have landed!

Yes, YOU know the WAY!

Go ahead and BLOOM….right….where you are planted!!!
~~~~~The MUNK~~~~~

Yes,  Winter Solstice! is tonight!

We are “Moving into the LIGHT!”

Last night was the longest night of the year!

With this LIGHT, there is nothing to Fear!

I take these extra moments of SON Light!

Seeing that I Am LOVEd, all right!

Solstice reflects this magical thing!

Shining LIGHT on everything!

I bring myself, Yes, my story….

Into this LIGHT….I will not BE sorry!

So, I …..Open my eyes….

Seeing everything fresh and new…..

AWE and ONEder will BE my Surprise!

Seeing everything “For the First Time” is what I will do!

So….if,  when we meet…..I cock my head to the left or right!

It is because YOU, yes, YOU! are such a ONEderful, AWEsome sight!

~~~Always LOVE, The MUNK~~~~

Ominous black sky….Clouds hiding stars and moon…..

Night ticks by….Will the Sun shine soon?

My friend left her earthly body…..To soar among the stars…..

Yes, her spirit set free….From all her scars!

I celebrate the time we shared…..

We laughed, we danced and we cared!

Tears for her, now….empty….earthly space…..

Roll down my cheeks and burn my face!

Oh, Sun please rise and lighten this dark place….

Time has stopped in this dark sacred space!

Deep within my pain gives a sigh…..

Why, or why do earthly bodies have to die?

“I don’t know!” my mind does reply!

Then the drumming of my heart beats through….

Oh, Marilyn, you know what to do!

A deep painful breath I inhale….

So, deep and full, oh, lungs please….do not fail~

Hold that breath and sing of my gratitude!

“My LOVE of you does not conclude!

“Exhaling now, long and slow…..

Letting the pain and LOVE flow…..

Now….empty I am!

Sitting with the great I AM…..

My hands are empty…..

I AM’s LOVE comes to me….

Inside on this dark….empty day!

In the darkness, this is the way…

A spark becomes an embers glow…..

Will I choose to grow….

To continue to feed this fire….

Oh what is my desire?

To stay in the darkness….

Feeding the emptiness?

OR,

To share the JOY and LOVE of what I AM gives…..

Gratefully LOVE-ing all that ever lives!

The day still dark around me….

Cannot….will not…..drowned me….

The spark of LOVE within….

Inside of me it does spin!

To Live, To LOVE, To BE….

This NOW is what I choose to BE…..

A new dawn within….

For the first time…..begin!

Always Love…..THE MUNK……
