Learning to Listen

So often, we talk about the
mind, body, soul connection
and we talk about listening to
the thoughts which float through our mind
and the voice that whispers to our soul,
but do we listen to our bodies
and the lessons it is trying to teach us.
Do we listen to how our body changes
from comfortable to warm or cold?
Do we feel the muscles tense and relax?
Do we recognize how what we are
thinking and feeling expresses itself
like waves in an ocean.
Our bodies teach us
how to self express.
dance,
move,
mourn,
make love,
and ride the waves.
Our bodies teach us to heal
and fight for us
to stay strong
as we go through
the changes of life.
As we listen to our mind and our soul,
may we listen to our body
and the lessons it is teaching.

Breathing

June 26, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

Breathing

Have you ever heard or read
about a person in need and
felt called to do something?
Sometimes I do.
Then I take a moment,
and focus in on them
and breathe in and
breathe out love and support.
I take a moment
to listen to their distress
and breathe in
and breathe out prayers
for what they need.
I may not be able to
physically relieve their distress,
however, I can send them love,
support,
positive energy,
and courage
to make it through.
Even in the worst of my physical conditions
I can still breathe
and send others
breaths of love and prayers.
As the Universe has breathed life into others,
I can breathe healing and positive energy
to others.
When you feel moved to help
remember you can sit in spirit with them and
breathe.

Us

January 16, 2023 Sharon Jacobson

I love you.
There are so few people I say that to.
You and the Ultimate.
There is something about sitting with you
and listening to your deepest thoughts
and challenges.
As I sit here and just spend time with you
it is like music to my ears,
and in the process I feel so blessed.
It is those opportunities to be present,
to be of service,
to know that I am still
of use to the Ultimate.
I know we feel the same,
relationships like ours are rare
and gifts from above.
Giving thanks seems so inadequate,
but it is all I can do,
for all that you are to me
and all you allow me to be for the one
who is always there for me.
The more we surrender to each other,
share,
grow,
evolve, and
be ever present,
the closer we become
not just to each other
but to the One.

it's About us

May 17, 2021 Sharon Jacobson

It’s About Us.

It’s about us.
Those are the words I ended my last poem with.
It’s about us.
They are words which remind me,
how what I do and say
is not about me,
it’s about us.
It’s the little things like when
I put my sweater on to keep warm
and pray that we all keep
our hearts and spirits warm.
Or when I feed myself
and pray that we all
feed ourselves spiritually.
When I make what I say and do
about us,
it makes me rethink all I say and do
because it’s not just about me.
it’s about us.

The Effect

January 28, 2019 Sharon Jacobson

Sometimes we think it is all about us
but there is so much more.
We may not see the effect.
we may not feel it
We may not taste it
or touch it
or even sense it
but it is there.

We call it the ripple effect,
the butterfly effect
it is about us recognizing
how every action
creates a series of reactions
which create effects
we may never be aware of.

We think we do not matter,
but we do.
We forget we are part of
something bigger than ourselves
but we are.
Everything we do,
or do not do,
has an effect on the world around us.

We are part of
something bigger,
something more powerful,
something more connected
then we sometimes realize.
Just because we may not see it,
or be aware of it
does not mean it does not exist.
This is why we must be mindful
of all that we say,
think,
feel,
do and
believe
as it all has an
effect

Like Potatoes in a Tub

May 12, 2015 Sharon Jacobson

It’s funny how stories have a way of drifting up into your memory from your childhood when you are meditating and reflecting on a specific word or practice. As you may have figured out by now, the theme for this month is connection and I have been working on being intentional this month about practicing seeing the connections in my life. I hope you have as well.

This morning I found myself thinking about a story my father told me about washing potatoes. Decades ago, my father served in the Korean War. Amongst many positions in which he served, was that of a translator. He also spent some time working in the kitchen. One of his least favorite tasks was cleaning and peeling potatoes. Often times he would find himself assigned to this task, ordered to do hundreds of potatoes, one at a time. While he became efficient at cleaning potatoes, it was not one he enjoyed doing.

Cosmic Computer Connection

May 5, 2015 Sharon Jacobson

Have you ever been working online and have a problem loading or page? Have you ever been on a call within others on Skype or Zoom and been told your internet connection is unstable? Most of us have experienced some sort of “connection” related problem when it comes to us being able to work (or play) efficiently on our computer.

What if we thought about our connection to the Divine as us being connected to the Cosmic Computer? How would you describe your connection to the Divine? Would you say you are still on dialup or are you hardwired? Do you power down at night or do you stay connected? How much of you is connected to the Cosmic Computer? Is it just your spirit? Mind? Body? Or is every cell of your being connected?

Be a Leap Frog

May 22, 2012 Sharon Jacobson

When I taught Sunday School to youth, which now seeks multiple reiterations of my life ago, I talked with the children about being a FROG. This was an acronym for being Fully Reliant On God. So often, even as adults, we need to be reminded of the need to be receptive each moment to our connection to the Divine. Amazing things happen in our lives when we stay Fully Reliant on the Divine/God/Higher Power. As a child, we used to play Leap Frog. Sometimes we would leap forward in baby leaps.
