Angels

Posted on by Jen Hoeft
A cardboard angel
In a world on fire.
The truth is buried
Under desire…
To soothe,
To please,
To calm,
To ease…
Cardboard angel
In a thunderstorm.
The truth is present
It doesn’t conform…
Nursing scars
Long since healed,
Flinching from habits
Long ago concealed.
Scared of pain
Not yet felt,
Shivering from blows
Not yet dealt.
I’m a cardboard angel
Now awake and aware…
Stepping into my power,
Stepping out of my lair…
To soothe
To please,
To calm,
To ease…

Discover yourself…

Posted on by Jen Hoeft

 

If you want to be discovered…
discover yourself.
If you want to be loved…
then love.
If you want to be joyful…
bring your joy to the world
from the love you’ve discovered within.
If you want to be rich…
be rich in spirit.
If you want to be respected,
respect yourself.
If you want to be real…
bring the richness of your spirit
and bow before the wonders of the world.
You are love,
You are joy,
You are rich,
You are real.

We are hidden,

We are searching,

There is much,
To be revealed…
May your journey be humble and complete.

It’s up to you.

Take it easy, but take it…
The moment is calling.
Go gently,
but go…
The ride has begun.
Say it softly,
but say it…
Your truth is your knowing.
Hold on, but let go…
This is supposed to be fun.
Fun because we choose it.
Funny because it chooses us.
Fun because we are healing,
Fun as it heals everyone.
PS. The FUN-Factor is completely up to you…:)

It’s okay.

It’s okay not to know…
It’s okay not to share.
The moment holds all possibilities,
Life… fair and unfair.
It’s okay not to smile…
It’s okay not to forgive.
The moment holds all choices,
It’s your life to live.
It’s okay to take chances…
It’s okay to play it cool.
The moment holds all options,
You make the rules.
It’s okay to disconnect.
It’s okay to be a live wire.
The moment holds everything,
Choose who you truly are.

Grow…

Posted on by Jen Hoeft
When I was 9
I asked my Mom,
“What should I Be
When I am older?
A doctor, a teacher,
A scientist, a preacher?
There are so many choices, I love…”
I told her.
She smiled, ever knowing…
Took a breath,
Then released…
Her thoughts eased my doubts,
Her words brought me Peace…
Be Kind
Be Curious
Be Grateful
Be Bold.
Be Present.
Be Happy
Be Real.
Grow Old.
Thanks Mom…
Jen
PS. She didn’t really SAY that… She lives it…:)

What do you see?

What do you see when you look

in the mirror?

Who do you see

when you look inside?

Do you see the shining wonder?

The spark of joy?

The thrill of life’s ride?

What do you see when you look around you?

What is your window to the world?

Can you imagine anything more exciting than letting your Light, Spark, and Thrill unfurl?

Be the mirror, Be the window… Be the world…

XOXOXOX,

Jen of the Sun

Ride On…

Ride On…
Let your passion inspire you
Ride On…
Let your journey begin
Ride On…
Let the wind awaken you.
Ride on
Light the fire within.
Ride on…
Through the beauty and the bounty
Ride on…
Over mountains and desert plains
Ride on…
Sitting in your suffering
Ride on…
Loving through your pain.
This is your journey…
Get on your bike, your path,
your broom, your skateboard,
your magic carpet, your pickup truck,
your wheelchair, your imagination…
and Ride On….
Right On…:)
Jen
