Redemption Awaits - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins



Those burdens carried

Carried by us all through life

Redemption awaits

Akzeptiere Das Leben, Wie Es Ist - Ein Gedicht von M.N. Hopkins


This poem was translated for me by a German Poet whose is also know as KiBLS



Akzeptiere das Lieben,  wie es ist

Das sind die Wege der Welt

Der Verstand ist geflohen

Die Liebe folgte unmittelbar danach

Warten auf den tag

Wenn die Menchlichkeit zurukkehrt

Zur Zeit der

Menchwurde

Der Grundsteinist gelegt

Nun warten die Handwerker darauf

Der Auftrag zum Bauen

Neue Strukturen

Diese Aufträge kommen von unten

Vielmehr kommen Sie

Von oben herab

Bis zu diesem Tage


Tue das Baste was du kannst

Um die Dunkelheit in Schach zu halten

Bis zur Ankunft das Lichts

Es wird die Richtung vorgeben

Es wird einen Nutzen bringen

Der kreis geht um

Das Alte reinigen

Auffrischend neues

Ja

Akzeptiere das Leben,  wie es ist

Furs Erste

Und

Warten Sie auf die Ruckkehr der Vernunft

Ge folgt von der Liebe

When Heaven Is About To Confer Office Upon A Man - The Wisdom of Moshi


When Heaven is about to confer a great office upon a man, It first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil; It exposes him to poverty and confounds all his undertakings. Then it is seen if he is ready.

Accept Life As It Is - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Photo by Ben Mulder

Accept life as it is

These are the ways of the world

Reason has fled

Love follows swiftly behind

Waiting upon the day

When humanity returns

To the once

Humane

The foundation has been laid

Now,  the workmen await

The order to build

New structures

These orders will not come from below

Rather

From the above

Until that day

Do the best you can

To keep the darkness at bay

Until the arrival of Light

That will give direction

That will give purpose

That will give meaning

The circle goes around

Cleansing the old

Refreshing anew

Yes

Accept life as it is

For now

And

Await the return of reason

Followed by Love

Health Is Alignment - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins



Sickness is a realm

Reserved for human beings


Health is alignment


©  2019     M. N. Hopkins

Note:    I wrote this poem while recovering from what I believe was a very nasty bacteria, the result I believe of negligence by the water department in a small Swedish town based on newspaper reports of a problem or it was a nasty flu.  I have been struggling with the third line of the poem but thought that alignment fit.  Alignment to Nature and/or to the Divine brings balance back to the body.

I published this poem in the haiku style of poetry for the first time today, the 20th of June, 2019.

Now, Order Yourself - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins



Now, order yourself

Fragment not your thoughts or mind

Now,  bring balance, back

©  2019  M.N. Hopkins

Note:   This poem was written throughout the day,  yesterday.  The poem actually came to me in the middle of the night but by the time I got up to write it down,  I could only remember some of line one and three and wrote one word of line two to jog my memory later.   The above poem is the end result.  I wrote it in the haiku style of poetry and published it for the first time on my blog today, the 18th of June, 2019.

The Seed That We Are - The Wisdom of Omraam Mikael Aivanhow


The Seed That We Are - is destined to become a tree of life

"Humans are like seeds thrown into the world by the Creator. Each seed carries within it the image of divine perfection and its predestination is to sprout and grow until it becomes a tree. While it is already wonderful to be a seed, it is even more desirable to become a tree with roots, a trunk, branches, leaves, flowers and fruit that will in turn produce seeds.

By striving to gradually improve each of our manifestations, we come closer to the perfection our heavenly Father has in mind for us. We bear the imprint of this perfection engraved for all eternity on our soul, and if we learn to focus on it, one day, we too will become trees of life."
