Would You Nurture My Soul

Would You Nurture My Soul

A Story by Micheal Teal





"Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before."
Erich Fromm



Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

The landscape of human feeling is awash with sadness and depression. For we are a planet in peril and healing becomes more difficult every day. I struggle every day not only with my own past and emotional problems but with the abuse of our very spirit that is taking place. I have seen far too many women suffer at the hands of men totally ignorant of the beauty and significance of the feminine spirit. Women have a light within their soul that is sacred and I for one have grown weary of seeing that light diminished. Let us create a world of abundance , kindness and beauty by respecting the ethereal spirit of our sisters , the magnificence of our mothers and the heavenly essence that is inside each and every woman ever to set foot on Sacred Mother Earth.

" I looked for my soul but my soul I could not see. I looked for my God but my God eluded me. I looked for a friend and then I found all three."
William Blake


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

My spirit weeps every day for those who suffer , for those who are victims of hatred. I can no longer watch the news without losing sleep for the inhumanity prevalent in todays society is horrific. It is our duty as planetary citizens to create a more peaceful and tranquil world that all may roam in freedom and love. Let us put away our guns and instead of facilitating war promote peace and harmony. Respect for the planet is crucial at this stage of our evolution. The future is now , it is in every breath , therefore we must breathe in inspiration , for to survive we must inspire the next generation to heal the wounds we have opened. Let us have an alchemy of thought and emotion that brings us all to the realization that there are many paths to heaven , none of which involve the blood of the innocent. Peace is not a concept , its a birthright!

"Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul."
Jalal ad-Din Rumi

Embrace the gifts within your soul for we all have the ability to make a difference in the world. If you have suffered at the hands of another , if you have been beaten , battered and broken , then you more than anybody should aspire to facilitate change that no other person shall suffer the same abuse as you. We must use our minds in the highest way and journey deep into spiritual realms. Hatred is unacceptable , Prejudice is unacceptable , Racism is unacceptable , Homophobia is unacceptable , to accept these truths and say nothing is unacceptable. My soul is bleeding and I am weak from all the blood I have lost. Let me not fight this battle alone. Stand hand in hand with me and together we can promote a culture of peace and nurture an atmosphere of wellbeing.
Let us embrace the song of life that together we may all dance our sacred dream.

"The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens into that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was a conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach."
Carl Gustav Jung

My dream is that the inspirational beauty of nature will once again be the cosmic force that leads us to walk a path of truth , beauty and lovingkindness. We as sentient beings need to open our hearts that we may experience the wonder that is around us. Heaven is all around us - the love of a mother , the smile on the face of a child , the scent of a puppy or a baby , the moonlight on the water , the joy of accomplishment , the loveliness of a flower in full bloom - these are the things that inspire the divine within us to honour the earth and venture down enlightened paths. Please seek union with the divine that we may all serve the betterment of humankind. I can no longer accept the delusional pursuit of Greed and Globalization. I implore all who read this to take this as an opportunity to live life with more grace thereby providing hope for a better tomorrow,

"Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide. And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart."
E. E. Cummings


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

I am embraced by the wind. Mine is an existence of divine love and wisdom. I walk a path of peace along lifes shore where the ocean meets the sky. I seek only to build bridges of peace that lead all humankind to an oasis of love , beauty and truth. The soul of man was meant to be free , the spirit of woman was meant to embrace all life with its magnificence. Explore the voices of the natural world and allow yourself not to dream but to live , to create change , to foster the positive , to experience the reality that faith moves mountains. Please let me not walk this path alone. Know that the love in my heart goes out to each and every one of you and that I pray that we may all one day live and love in true harmony and peace as we celebrate the beauty of our differences and the magnificence of that which we have in common. For we are but flowers in lifes garden.

"There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge."
Friedrich Nietzsche


Would you nurture my soul if I said please? Would you embrace my spirit if you saw my pain? Would you tell me you loved me if you knew how powerful words can be?

I think you would.

All I can do now is wait.

...I don't even know how to respond to that fully, to tell you the truth. It's sort of mind-numbing, to read something so simply beautiful and tranquil and loving, so different than the slander and hatred that I'm used to hearing on a day-to-day basis. It leaves me a little bit speechless. All I can say is that I know this comes from the heart, which doesn't do justice to what this really is, no! It comes from the soul. And that is a precious thing.

Bravo.

You are right, there is a great,fundamental power in words. And you so aptly proved that point! A powerful message that draws from the innate worth of every human being. Kudos to you and to all the love and hope that you evoke in this world. It is good to see words used to affirm and not to destroy. let us all remember that profound truth in our day to day interactions within our circles of influence. Encouragers are life sustainers. It is true, so why do we do so little of it/myself included!

Clever format here; the repetition provides rhythm, the quotes offer perspective, and the comtemplation provides solace. Very, very moving.

Very beautifully written, both in style and content. Thanks so much for this offering.

I was recently reading a blog written by Yoko Ono. Within her blog, she wrote, "think peace, teach peace, live peace." I believe that the world generally brings to us what we expect it to bring, i.e., as a man thinketh, so it is. I started thinking about the concept of teaching peace. What if our schools, beginning with kindergarten, started spending 10 minutes a day simply teaching the concepts peace and kindness through the use of age-appropriate examples? What would we be like if we developed the HABIT of thinking about peace and kindness for even 10 minutes a day? What would those accumulated thoughts bring to our world?

Perhaps all our souls would be nurtured, and there would be no need to say please.

Thanks again for your beautiful work.

This piece tells it all from a powerful, accurate sincere perspective. You evoke emotions that are so deep, it's as if you reach in to the depths of your soul and the truth just flows as you write! Definitely favorite as I feel strongly as well about humanity, and why it's in the state it is. Well done ~ Jude :-)
