May my enemies sleep well tonight
May they feel safe and loved
May they heal
May they be joyful like small children
For they are not my true enemy
My true enemy lies within my own greed, hatred and fear
With love,

God is Within Us
If you look for God in the sky above you
You will only dream
If you look for God within your heart and soul
You will awaken and heal from within
The kingdom of God is a seed of unconditional love within you
Water this seed and it will transform you
From fearful to an embodiment of love
From greedy to selflessness
All your worries will vanish
All your suffering will be transformed
Keep looking within yourself each moment of the day
Keep watering this seed of love within your heart and soul till your last breath
With love,
Johnny
Keep Your Eyes On Love
No matter how dark it is outside of you
There is a light within you
Keep your eyes on this light
Let it guide you out of the darkness of greed, hatred and fear
Follow this light of unconditional love and you will experience true liberation and joy
Let it transform you and heal you from within
If we keep our eyes on the darkness we will sink into the depths of fear and despair
Keep your eyes on the seed of unconditional love within your own heart
Be still and know true unconditional love
With love,
Johnny
Nourishing the Seeds of Love
Today I will abandon all self centered ideas
I will abandon all greed, hatred, and fear within my heart
Empty my mind of selfishness
Instead I will only water the seeds of unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion and grace
I will water these seeds within me, other beings and the universe
Bringing transformation and joy to myself and to all living beings
Nourishing the planet with love with each step
Love Will Prevail
Softness will always prevail over harshness
Love will always prevail over fear
Peace over war
Like water washing over jagged rock
Unconditional love has the power to shape us with patience, humility and grace
Prayer of Emptiness
May I empty myself to you God
So you can fill me with your divine love
May I empty myself of all self centered ideas
So you can fill me with your divine grace and humility
May I empty myself of all hatred, fear and greed
So you fill me with your infinite compassion
I empty myself to you God
I surrender to your unconditional love
Death before Death
To be truly alive
We must die before death
We must die of the notion of a separate self
We must die of our old ways of living
Burning down our old life and leaving no traces of ourselves
Completely letting go of who we once were
Through death we can be resurrected
Each moment we can be a time of revitalized and resurrection
Each day we can be reborn if we surrender to the power of unconditional love within our heart
Beyond Beliefs
Beyond all beliefs
There is a sanctuary
Let’s meet there
A land of no hatred
No dogma
No sinners
No fear
No religion
Only compassion for all beings
A kingdom of radical peace
A land of unconditional love for all, no matter how lost they are in the darkness of hatred and fear
Lets meet there right now on this beautiful planet
With love,
Johnny
Union with the Divine
When I look within my heart
I see your infinite love for all creation
When I clear my mind
I can sense your presence within my soul
We are two but one in this moment
Letting Go of Old Identities
Today I fully let go of my old identity
I stand today liberated from any attachments to who I once was
I am reborn today
I am not a gambler
I am not a party boy
I am not a ladies man
God has granted me a new identity
A path of love
A path of compassion and forgiveness
My new identity is of a peaceful warrior
I am a poet
I am an adventurer into the unknown
I am a mystic
A follower of God’s unconditional love
Thank you, thank you 🙏
With love,
Johnny
