I wish to Awaken/Mia Leventhal

I wish to Awaken

I wish to break forth

And break through

This self inflicted fort

I wish to Awaken.

I wish to wave to the skies

Say goodbye to all those lies

Winking to the sun

Who brings me

Warm delightful fun.

I wish to look inside

Make peace with which coincides

And with a whip of a tide

Wash out that which

Limits my ride

Opening my heart once more

Beautifully fresh and wide.

I wish to Awaken

To the wonders of this life

Without fear, guilt or shame

I want to welcome all

That comes my way

knowing nothing will ever stay the same.

I want to grow expand and shine

knowing all will be just fine

Resting my head upon

The lightness

provided by the One

who looks over me,

The Divine.

Happy New Year 2012

I would like to wish all those who celebrate, a Merry Christmas! Comemmorating the birth of Jesus Christ ♥I wish to dedicate this beautiful poem of Max Ehrmann – Desiderata,as I feel it coincides beautifully with the message he tried to convey ♥
Much Love,Mia

Desiderata/Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be found in silence.
As far as possible,

without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career,

however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,

for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,

and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery,
and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Happy Hanukkah! Celebrate your inner light and welcome miracles!

I would like to wish all those celebrating a Happy Hanukkah! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah Hanukkah has been known over the years to be a symbol of celebrating LIGHT* aswell as Miracles.. … These days many of us are going through difficult experiences in which I feel we are to reach within and shine our own light even more to overcome any darkness which attempts to shadow our spark!

I also wish us to remember that within connecting to that light which is linked to the Divine..despite all that may appear around us..we can ALWAYS expect MIRACLES ! I for one am a solid believer in the wonders of the universe..So..SHINE ON Brothers and Sisters ..regardless of your religion..as long as you believe in your light and in the power of Creation…EVERYTHING WONDROUS is POSSSIBLE ,Much LOve ,Mia ♥♥♥

Surrendering into the unknown ~

Mia — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:55:03 +0000

For those who do not know yet..I have closed “Kahliya`s” shop in Jaffa and had my sights set on transforming Kahliya`s experience into one that embraces more fully the values of connecting to nature ..yet unfortunately things did not work out in the new location and I am currently in another transitional pause..allowing myself to surrender to the unknown ,searching for a new location and anticipating with wonder what will come about
I am going through a new experience..flowing with the go..and learning to enjoy it..

Kahliya`s online shop has reopened these days and will slowly offer what is possible within this transitional phase..
At the moment we are offering The “Soul Inspiration” Message cards & Book,a joint project of mine with my friend Robert Der Alexanian a very talented Artistic Photographer.

A Unique..uplifting..Gift of Love and Beauty …created by small independant Artists selling their art…what a great way to begin changing our contribution to values of “power”…♥

Yom Kipour- A day of reflection

Mia — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 15:38:11 +0000

This evening commences The jewish “YOM KIPOUR”,a day of Atonnement and repentance,a period of 25 hrs of prayer and fast,inwhich it is a custom to ask of forgiveness for our sins and wish each other “Hatima Tova” a “good signing” with God`s mercy for the following year.
A moment of inner thought..and resolutions for the continuation of our journey.A moment of contemplation..reviewing our ways..our …values..

May we all find our way to the truth..to the light..thats unites..and shines bright..

* Potrait of Yeshayahu Leibovich,tribute to a man who was not afraid to review the moral values of his own people.

Portrait and poem/Mia leventhal

I walk this thin line
At times
I wonder
What will I find..
At others
I feel I lose my mind
The sights I see
are so beyond me
Tiptoing among souls
Who each in his own right
believes to see the light
And yet..
We are All of Universe`s
Beautiful creation
Despite..
What can we do
To find a way
giving each his say
Whilst paving the road
For us All to
Unite..

Happy New Beginnings – Shana Tova !

Im so excited to announce this joint venture of mine with my great friend Robert Der Alexanian, who is an amazing artistic photographer! Hopefully soon to have his own site to showcase his beautiful work!

For those of you who have been following my work, you know by now I write poetry some of which can be viewed at my poetry site – Soul Revelations (The link is always here on the right hand column).

For quite some time now I have been collaborating with Robert`s work of beauty, having been so inspired by his images,I would write a poem-message of positive inspiration for the soul..Hence..”SOUL INSPIRATIONS” was born!
We`ve collected 13 favorite messages into a small elegant book, for you to browse through and absorb your daily message!
We have also created these messages in form of Beautiful Cards, currently in a set of 5 chosen cards!

These wonderful inspirational messages are wonderful to keep close for your momentary need of a positive uplifting message,or as a gift to a loved one to sweeten their days..not to mention a perfect gift for the Holidays and a beginning of a Bright New Year!

Both items offered at Kahliya`s Online shop (Link to be always found here on the right hand column).
