thanks anita;) i feel like spiritual love and being spiritually alive are connected. When we love, we feel good about ourselves and the world seems brighter and we look at the world through new eyes that see beauty. Love is one of the most powerful vibrations that can help heal the soul and make us feel more alive and connected to our divine selves. Through love, we develop a joy and compassion for living and see life as beautiful. I have written a poem about you, anita and how you like nature are a great person, comforting and encouraging;) I love winter the most of the seasons since the snow is beautiful and I love to go ice-skating. In this poem, winter is a metaphor for the hardships of life while spring represents growth and rebirth. Poetry seems to come quite naturally to me these days;) i hope you don’t mind, but i also added some spiritual messages in the poem.

here is the poem:

Anita- You are the Beauty of All the Seasons

When the world is cold and blanketed in white

I still see the wonder of a winter wonderland, there is so much joy in life even in the coldest of seasons

When the winds blow harshly and there is no sun to warm the heart

There is still the beauty of nature

When the sky is a white haze like my mind when I feel lost

I know hidden beneath is the calm blue sky of mental clarity

As I look up at the white sky watching the snowflakes fall

I think about the beauty of life and the love I feel for my friends

Anita- you are a snowflake

So many intricate patterns that fall from the white sky

Even in the darkest, coldest moments, there is still beauty in this life

Everyone is a snowflake beautiful and unique

Falling down from heaven to experience life here on Earth

We are all beautiful spiritual beings with a purpose

Anita- you are the snowflake in the winter, when life feels harsh and the wind pushes me in all directions

You are the rainbow in the sky after the rain

When the wind blows a snowflake, it seems to dance and swirl appreciating whatever course it will take in life

You always give great advice to help me on my course

When life gets tough and it feels like winter is setting in

And my mind is in a haze like the white sky

It gives me peace to watch the snowflakes fall

Come spring, Anita you are the flower that grows and develops from the soil providing beauty for everyone

As the flower grows from the hard work of those who plant it

You are a hard worker and very encouraging to me

You help me grow and develop into my own flower stretching my petals to the sun

You help me be more confident and accepting of myself

And when I feel myself on shaky ground, swaying in the wind

Your wisdom helps me to be strong, stay rooted and focused in the growing into the lotus I want to become

Like the lotus which grows out of the mud, I will take the negative mud I face and use it to grow

In the summer, you are like the sands on the beach

No matter how rough the water gets, the sand stays the same

When the waves on the beach crash on the sand

When the tides get high

The sand remains intact

When shells are washed ashore by the waves

The sandy beach makes a home for them

The sand remains a mountain of strength through tough times and so do you, Anita

You are always caring and helpful to others

You are like the sand on the beach that provides comfort to those thrown off course by the tides of life

The colors of fall are upon us

I can hear the crunch of the leaves and smell the crisp scent of the autumn breeze

You are all the seasons, Anita

In the fall, the colors of the leaves: gold, red, orange are breathtaking

The colors of fire, they seem to celebrate the adventure of life

The leaves left on the trees dance in the breeze

Anita, you are the color of the autumn leaves

You help me see the beauty of life

In the fall, when the trees are losing their leaves, losing their strength

And in the winter when the trees are barren and sit still and the world is dark

It is like ourselves as we go through life, we must lose the old parts of ourselves to be reborn and become a better person

As spring comes and new leaves grow and the sun shines bright again in the summer; life is a cycle

With the death of the old comes a new beautiful spiritual growth and the chance to be more spiritually alive and beautiful than our old selves

How can we change ourselves for the better if we keep paying attention to our faults?

How can we change ourselves if we don’t lose our old selves?

Don’t be afraid be afraid of death.

What is life if lived in fear?

The only thing that we have to fear is a life that is unlived

Ask yourself “What is it that I fear? Why is it that I fear this?”

Listen to your heart and let the fear go

Fear only holds you back from realizing the balance and beauty of life

Even through the darkest moments, nature still is able to have beauty and wonder

We are spiritual beings capable of living life to the fullest, living life with divine love and peace

Life is a cycle like the seasons: winter, spring, summer, fall

At times it may be cold and dark and you may lose parts of yourself however there is promise of light, beauty and growth

Such is the balance of life and nature

With every end comes a new beginning

Anita, you are the beauty of the seasons and nature

May your life be balanced with light and divine love
