The Garden of the New Year

I wanted to offer this poem as a  motivational affirmation for the New Year.

Best Wishes for the New Year .

May it be your best Year Yet !

The echo of the sorrow and laughter of last year.

Has died away.

Now the encouraging, hope-imparting, song-voice of the New Year.

Is resounding through Us.

To remodel our life in a new way.

As we enter the portal of the New Year.

All weeds of worries of the past year must be left behind.

And never brought back.

The seeds of all joys and achievements, all hopes,

All good habits and thoughts, all noble desires.

We must garner from the forsaken garden of the past year.

And sow them on the soil of new effort.

Of every day in the New Year.

Watering the good seeds of last year's experiences.

Until our life becomes a fragrant garden.

Of  rare flowering qualities.

Each New Year comes

To awaken our habit-driven spirit

To make new effort.

Until the Eternal Freedom

Is usurped from the hands

Of ever pursuing Karma.

Let Us All, hand in hand,

With ever-enlivened, unending, united mind

Walk and Dance forward

Until we reach the home of complete fulfillment.

From whence we return no more !

By Paramahansa Yogananda. Inner Culture, January 1939. 

 I just ran across this poem as I was going through some boxes and felt I was supposed to share it  ? So there ! I have ! ! HaHa ! ! !

Happy New Year Everyone !

The Prince of Peace

I am the way, the truth 

and the Light !

Joy to the World
The lord hath come ! 

Joy to the World, the lord hath come.

Let Earth receive her King.

Let every heart prepare him room.

Let Heaven and Nature sing !

Wishing the happiest of Holidays for All !

 Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all Nations under God.

Om Peace Amen

Saint Francis of Assisi a very unique spiritual personality ! Who gave up a life of luxury, wealth and social status to dedicate his life to his chosen faith of Christianity. This has always been one of my favorite prayers.  

Again as we think of healing as Healing of Body, Mind and Soul. Making that connection to the higher power. The Energy that which all came from ! Is a big step in the right direction for any type of healing to take place.

Making that connection soothes and strengthens Us ! Grounding us. Helping the Mind grow stronger ! Staying positive and constructive in all activities. We know for healing to take place one must believe it can take place ! And take appropriate measures to make it happen. Staying Positive ! I really related to that statement, " A healing starts to take place with One Positive thought !"

Saint Francis of Assisi your legacy lives on in this beautiful offering of devotion !

Peace and Goodwill to All !
