While unpacking from a recent move, I discovered small boxes of Dr. Dris’s rock and crystal collection. Below is my research as to why she had a large amethyst. She had given me two small ones years ago that stay on my husband’s and my bedside tables.
Dr Dris’s Amethyst now lives on our dining room table…

What significance is this number 9 mean in this year of 2018?
For Dr. Dris, my mom, it was an end of a phase in her life as she passed in the year 2009. For me at the end of this year 2018, I retire from a working life to enjoy my next phase into the retirement phase of my life.
Per Padre, the messenger of Angels, our guardian angels use “numbers” to communicate. This seems the message to me for 2018 (a muliple of 9) !
The end of a phase
The appearance of the number 9 can be a signal from the angels who want you to know that something in your life is about to come to an end. It can be a relationship, a project, or the chapter of your book of life.
Thus, the angels want you to acknowledge the fact that this change will result in better opportunities that you can take advantage of. It is for the greater purpose of your existence that you will be made to witness such change. Do not lose hope and never let any negativity get to you! You control your decisions and what happens in your life.
Write, in your journal about the good times you missed in life, because you rushed.
Write, about the good feelings you could have dwelled on but didn’t last, because you were in a hurry. Then make a promise to yourself that you will not do that again.
You will live life to the fullest by taking your time. Take the time to read this poetry, over and over, until you fully understand it and relate to it.
Now you may go on. Remember; take your time.
We all have two sides to us from which we can feel. Psychologists use to think we have split personalities. How scary. You don’t have to go through that fear, because there are two sides to everyone, because that is our make-up.
Just like we have two sides to our brain. One deals more from emotions, soul. Then one comes more from discernment, ego. As you read this material you may find yourself switching back and forth. Especially allow the experience of doing just that with these ‘voice’ poems.
If you get confused, stop and begin again, until some clarity comes through to you.
The Voices of Fear
soul voice: Of what am I afraid.
ego voice: Were afraid of any desire.
soul voice: And how has this fear been made.
ego voice: Fear itself sets ones veins afire.
soul voice: My hearts on a thin thread.
ego voice: We are not afraid of any loss.
soul voice: And it may be hurt instead.
ego voice: We just give that a shrug or toss.
soul voice: It wants its fulfillment.
ego voice: We all want our dreams to come true.
soul voice: Yet it gets its temperament.
ego voice: When it approaches look what we do.
soul voice: Hurt so often it be…
ego voice: We find a way out of that course.
soul voice: That pain is all it can see.
ego voice: Do we not know that we’re its source?
soul voice: Its come to expect it…
ego voice: What is it we really fear?
soul voice: So that is all it does get.
ego voice: Emotions that are so very dear.
soul voice: So unloved it has felt…
ego voice: Set free feelings and allow them.
soul voice: It has gotten hard to melt.
ego voice: Then let yourself go to every whim.
soul voice: So to self I must be true…
ego voice: Conquer this fear and when you’re done.
soul voice: That no hurt can someone do.
ego voice: Stand back take a look at what you won.

In your journal, write about all the stuff you don’t like to feel and what causes you to feel that way. Don’t worry if your thoughts are scattered. We always start with scattered thoughts. Just write about it. Get it off your chest, then lie back on your bed and gently be, as if these bad feelings did not now exist.
Now read the previous poem again before you go on (posted – No More Gloom) . Please don’t rush through this. Take your time. Never rush through anything. For if you do, you won’t provide your feelings time to develop along a path that’s right for you.
Hint: In ‘No More Gloom’, by ‘…room you cannot see…’, I mean one’s body for you can’t see inside it.
If you feel like adding more to what you have already written, it would be a good time to do it now. When finished and when ready, add more to your journal. Then, come back to this post and take your time reading the next poem slowly with feeling.
Drawing by the late Karen Lee Chow (1955-2017)
Abiding My Time
There is a need for abiding my time
The way of it I will tell in this rhyme
No moment of time is ever wasted
For through time all feelings must be tasted
Some times are hours in which I ponder
Within them my thoughts begin to wander
At such times of my self I am in search
Then on a pathway to knowing I perch
Within moments my feelings betray all
My heart then opens to total recall
At that I grow along with the moment
Soul and spirit is then in alignment
From now on I will give myself the space
That toward vast changes I will not race
Then I will avoid a lot of mistakes
For my heart is delicate and it breaks
Love and wisdom I will then gain with ease
So I’ll be happy doing what I please

First, before we go any further, the journal in this book (post) is not like my beginning journal, for I was in confusion, so my poetry and thoughts were scattered. Many times I have gone back through my own poetry ledger to redo it. Each poem here was placed where it is best for you to start, and stay on your journey, within your thoughts. It is with each poem to assist you to begin a process that helps you reach in and connect with your feelings, by writing them down. Then you can refer back to our journey, as you grow and move through your life.
Secondly, everyone feels some despair at some point or another. Things do not always go the way we want. There are times we need to remove ourselves from every day life, and give ourselves permission, to go within to realize what we truly desire. It is through connecting with our soul that we can make a difference, and completely change our world, by changing ones point of view. From that of questioning things around me to that of knowing through love and feelings what is. So by taking the time to write it in your journal you achieve this end.
Finally, do make sure you will not be disturbed. Turn off our phone, the TV and the radio, and find that perfect place to read and write. Make sure a pen or pencil is close by. This is your own personal journal. Keep it close by, sacred, secret and secure.
No More Gloom
Inside a room you cannot see, there is no place to comfort me.
No place to live a bitter life.
Nor place to have all kinds of strife.
This is no place to feel despair.
It’s not a place to cut and tear.
Inside a room you cannot see, is my place to gently be.
Inside a mind you cannot see, there’s no real thoughts to comfort me.
No thoughts about a bitter life.
Nor thoughts about all kinds of strife.
There are no thoughts about despair.
You won’t find thoughts that cut and tear.
Inside a mind you cannot see, are just thoughts that carry me.
Inside a poem that you can see, are not just words to comfort thee.
Mere words about a bitter life.
Nor words about all kinds of strife.
There are no words about despair. You won’t find words that cut and tear.
Inside a poem that you can see, flow forth words to uplift thee.

Knowledge has two facets. There is knowledge about basic stuff in life. For a child, it was how to tie your shoe or ride a bicycle. For an adult it’s how to drive a car or get a job. Then there is another kind of knowledge. The kind we start learning as a baby, but we have no teacher, for we learn this knowledge by experiencing it.
So, this book (collection of posts) is not really going to tell you anything that you don’t already know. Yet, it will lead you hopefully, to a soulful experience. One, you can write (and post) about and remember, so that you will never forget. Begin, by taking a deep breath, hold then release. Then turn the page (read my next post). It is time to begin this inward adventure by knowing how to start.
