Thank you Graham for this beautiful gift to start my Monday morning. A beautiful and peaceful way to seek guidance and listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and increasing my docility to choosing to follow that divine guidance. My answer this week, after several weeks of a busy, fun and fulfilling activities and events... more time listening for guidance and also catching up with family and friends I've seen less of.
Thank you for your beautiful gift. Having more time for sharing your spiritual and creative gifts is affirming of the path you have chosen in letting go of the more administrative demands of Mighty Networks.
Yesterday I celebrated with my entire family my brother's 70th birthday. It was one if the best days of my life in the company of my blood. I realized the sense of connection and live that ties us together. My heart was the fullest and most expanded it has been in quite sometime. I would defend and protect any one of these people. The hugs and conversations were deep and I didn't want it to end. And it doesn't have to.
This meditation brought this weekend full circle to me. I couldn't have had yesterday's experience without God's all encompassing love. I felt his presence as you said your words, Graham. To just be. To be a vehicle of God's love. This meditation and poem was the exclamation point of yesterday...and my life. Truth, peace and love which overrides all we think we understand. Thank you❤️🙏
graham this is a wonderful gift to wake up to on my birthday and this poem is one of my favorites. your meditations bring a sense of peace, calmness and self reflection. these past 6 months i have been out of balance and when i sat in this meditation i could see i need to get back to what’s more important which is my family and close friends. thank you🙏🏻💖
So beautiful Graham. This poem is the one that I chose to have done written in calligraphy. I love it. My husband framed it for me, and I had the opportunity to show it to you in a chat. When I had the opportunity to meet and speak with you last November at the Royal I had you sign your first book on page 35 that contained this poem. You told me then that it was one of you favorites. It was beautiful today to hear the whole story behind your writing of this poem. The video today is fantastic, I have listened twice already. I am so pleased that this poem is a part of the Poetry Card Bundle!!! Mine is on the way. Awe, the meditation, I admit that I am not that good at meditation, I am still working on that, but this one today did something for me. There is something about your soothing voice that comforts me. There is something in my life recently that I have been ignoring and I know that I need to address with more love and attention. Today I am realizing that thanks to you and your welcoming meditation. You are amazing!!! Much love and blessings to you!!
Graham - wonderful poem. I find the poem's message to be both calming and challenging. It serves as a reminder to slow down, tune out the noise, and for me to listen to the Holy Spirit's voice within. I appreciate the acknowledgment that facing one's truth may not always be easy, but it is ultimately a path to greater self-awareness. We must recognize that life is full of challenges, but through each one of these, we grow and learn. Sometimes, it may not be what we want to hear, but what we need to hear. It leads us either way to a more clear direction in each our of own journeys. Thank you again for sharing.
This is great! I have never had the ability to completely clear my mind. I am working on the art of meditation. Keep them coming, they may help me get to the place of stillness. My personal journey and professional journey has been filled with chaos and time demands. Decisions at work require quick thinking and answers with barely time to think, but i am required to have answers immediately. I love your work. I look forward to the next posting. Blessings to your talents, the gifts of yourself you share, and your journey! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video, Graham. This poem is probably my favorite of yours as well. The first time through the meditation, I just absorbed the beauty of the photography and your calming voice. Then I went outside to my mini sanctuary and listened again. Breathing in the crisp morning air, I felt the love of God pervading my heart and a sense of complete peace. Beautiful and profound! The timing of this video was perfect for me as yesterday I just finished reading an amazing book, "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer. He spends a lot of time encouraging to embrace stillness and solitude as ways to slow ourselves into the best that life has to offer. I think you would like this book a lot. Now I feel truly ready to go into this new week with a sense of joy in being filled up and loved! I hope you are able to find that feeling in your week, too, even though you are traveling and busy. Don't forget to squeeze in some time to be still and slow! Blessings!
Thanks, Graham. “While You Wander” is one of my favorites! Well my mind kept trying to answer the question as the meditation went on. I kept trying to stop but it was hard. Toward the end my mind settled. And it was quiet. Even after it ended I continued the breathing but was still confused about my answer. So, I decided to watch the video again. As you began talking a chill came over me and I started crying and at that moment I knew the answer. I realized that I have been neglecting my daily prayer blocks for the last few weeks. Yes, I have been going to church and praying but not setting time aside daily for just sitting in the stillness and talking to God. I have spent most of the morning doing just that. Thank you for helping me connect with my inner self, I feel so refreshed! You have that special gift of helping people find comfort and peace. God bless you, Graham. 🙏
Graham, this is one of my favorite poems from your first book. As I was listening to you reading the poem this morning, it reminded me of a time in my life when I was "wandering" looking for direction in my life. When I took the time to sit in silence, to listen to my heart and inner guide, the direction for my life became clearer...I remember this first lesson of learning to listen to inner guide. There have been other "reminders" that bring me back to sitting in silence letting my inner guide speak to me. As I was listening to the mediation, thinking about the question, several thoughts came to me, all which lead me back to listening to my heart, my inner guide. At the end, I recognized what has been missing recently in my life, the sitting in silence listening to my heart and inner guide. I have been traveling for a month, spending time with family and friends, enjoying the special time together and creating memories, which has been wonderful but have missed the quiet "me" time. The mediation was what I needed to bring me back to the quiet time of listening to align my heart and mind, so thank you the poem and meditation...it was what I needed to hear. The video for the mediation was very creative and calming...Blessings!
Thank you, Graham, for your poem, your meditation and your inspiration, all of which led me to my thoughts on your question. I wandered through those thoughts, listened and heard the answer in the stillness. Things that matter! That phrase over and over. The pushback was there, but all things matter, but that phrase again. Things that matter. Listening, hearing, my mind cleared. I know what matters. Thank you, Graham. Continued blessings on your journey.
Good afternoon Graham, they poem took me to a place I had recently been. Like you I was fighting the inevitable. I didn’t want to let go of something I worked so hard in and invested so much time in. The signs were there I just ignored them thinking things would get better in time. So I continued on. Bye this time my family went through some very dark times. My family had not only suffered a tornado but the loss of my father. Then I lost my job. This was the part I was ignoring. I was in denial and couldn’t get past that all that was happening was it was Gods plan. Anne Wooten is my Christian coach since April of this year. With the help of her coaching and turning everything over to God it made me realize that I wasn’t doing my part. I wasn’t listening and paying attention to that quiet voice of God. I had ignored him and what he was trying to tell me. I went a while without a job I really had a hard time with this. Then I received a notification on my phone for a job in Kentucky. I talked to my husband and he told me to go ahead and fill the application out. With a couple of hours I received a call to come to Kentucky. September 4 I had an interview and received a call the next day that I got the job. I started on September 19th. . As I was listening and being still in the meditation I was seeing things like the color purple and white and black trees. I felt so relaxed like my body was sinking but not the way you would think. I was so calm in the moment and it was so beautiful. It only takes time to be still and listen to that small voice of God telling you which way to go. It also helps that you have a wonderful person in your corner to also help you and to listen to those voices. Thank you Graham for this poem and the meditation I truly enjoyed it. I truly hope you do more of these . May God bless you in all that you do
Thank you for the poem and time of reflection. The quiet created a space to hear the spirit of God speak to my heart. The situation may not change immediately and the answer is not what I wanted to hear, but it reinforced what my mind already knew and brought clarity and peace.
Thank you for this video Graham. I loved the Poem when you first posted it and I loved it tonight. I find meditation hard to do but with you guiding us it is so much easier. Something did come to me but not sure if it was in my mind or my body sensing it. Will do the meditation again. Thank you so much for doing this.
Hi Graham, thank you for this poem and this powerful meditation, accompanied by the beautiful video! I love his poems because there is always a story behind them.
Yesterday I woke up feeling so confused about the decisions I need to make... But listening to you, your poem, your story, and your inspired meditation, my heart and mind opened to a clarity I didn't expect to find. I found a place of peace and understanding. I managed to get answers to the questions and felt a little lighter.
Thank you for always sharing your experiences with us and for using your gift to help people improve their lives in so many ways!
Sorry for only responding today, as it wasn't easy to translate the meditation and fully connect with it.
What a wonderful, and powerful poem. I listen to it 3 times and the stillness of my mind and heart went to a place of truth and understanding. Thank you for your inspiration. Gods blessings to you as you continue on your journey.

This poem is a favourite of mine.
Lovely hearing the story behind you writing it.
L O V E D the meditation.
The question you posed was revealing and one to take on board .
It was extremely relaxing.
10.30 pm here - I am feeling all calm.
I’m going to bed to listen to it again. 😴💤🛌
Thank you Graham…❤️
