Post No. 142: For My Facebook Friend — "A Healing Poem!"


(Image from Circle of Healing Center)

Say A Little Prayer
(Or, "A Healing Poem")

Whenever your poor head is reeling,
due to some terribly sick feeling, please
take this "pill," and let it help you to "heal,"
during the times when you are feeling so ill!

There is a loving light within us all,
that is powerful, bright and wide,
and it shines like the noonday sun
precisely where God put it inside!

For, God understood that we would need
God with us—shining brightly inside—so
God placed God's Loving Light within us
to help us out during the difficult times!

And that is the reason that God gave us all
"God's Eternal Light Of Love And Healing,"
which is God's Everlasting Sun that shines
forever with God's Eternally-Loving Feelings!

So, "say a little prayer" whenever you are
feeling like "hell at high noon" and call upon
the Light Of God that is inside of you to speed
up your healing, so that you may "get well soon!"

My Writing About Where To Find God, Version No. 1: If you are looking for God, go inside of yourself. That is where God is. –Paul Whiting (September 19th, 2023)

My Writing About Where To Find God, Version No. 2: If you are looking for God, go inside of yourself. That's where God is. For, God is the entire Universe which, I believe, is like a Super Computer! Therefore, the reason that God is inside of you is due to the fact that God Is All Of Us in zillions of different forms—such as plants, insects and animals, which includes humans. And that is why God is contained within each one of our consciousnesses, which is how, and why, prayer works. So, pray to your God! For, God is always listening, since God is always there. –Paul Whiting (written September 19th, 2023 and revised March 16th, 2024)

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I cannot remember which Facebook friend I wrote this "Healing Poem" for, but I do remember trying to convey the idea that "God's Loving Light" is within us all and that it can help you to heal if you will pray—as well as if you will tend to whatever it is that may be ailing you! So, "pray for help" but, also, "deal with your issues."

For, God helps those who help themselves.

I should mention that this poem was written for—and posted on—Facebook, way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...

And this poem was also published on my "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer." Plus, I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message I am trying to convey through my new "The Oneness Of God" spiritual practice!

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 141: For, "I Have the Ocean in My Bones!"


(Image from The Sag Harbor Express)

"I Have the Ocean in My Bones!"

For those who feel—deep within their bones—
the strong pull of many different time zones,
please be aware, that way out there, there
be "Vessels That Dare!" For afloat they be,
out upon the sea, in the shape of wonderful
sailing boats, and ships and vessels-o-plenty!
So, grab yer sailing gear, and yer "Salty Mates
O' Fun" and let us steer our way outta this
here port and—then—on to the next one!

My Poetic Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I Have the Ocean in My Bones!"

By the way, I feel like I need to explain this poem some more, since I have never actually traveled on the ocean! In fact, I don't even know how to sail! And I haven't even been anywhere near a dingy! It's just that I really believe in past lives, or reincarnation. So, I really feel like I used to be a sailor in one, or more, lifetimes—and that is why I feel like "I Have the Ocean in my Bones..."

And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
