Month: May 2017

Season of Growth

20170531 XPicture

5/31/17

Once bare trees
are full of leaves –
the growth
is tremendous –
a month of rain
and bare limbs
give way
to full green leaves
that turn
to catch
every drop
of rain –
and do not
the lushness
of the leaves
bring shade
to all that
live under the tree,
as the sun
is in full view?

The landscape now
are hues of green –
the fullness of trees
may block your view,
are there not changes
you see every day –
more blooms appear
as others are done,
blossoms give way
on plants
that will bear fruit –
are you not in
a Season of Growth?

When the time
is right,
when the conditions
are present,
growth can come
on slowly
as you wait
and watch –
then do you
not marvel
at what can happen
in an instant,
in a day,
in a month?

Is not your life
a Season of Growth –
can you not
look back
to what your
landscape was before –
have there not
been changes
that you have
weathered
with time,
with growth,
with Love?

Does growth
not happen
in cycles –
like the seasons
that come and go –
you need not
know the purpose –
is not the purpose
to create?
Are you not
an ever-changing
masterpiece
that continues
to evolve
as you
keep growing
and changing
with Love?

Is not every season
a perfect time
to change,
to grow,
to Love?

Spread out.
Live fully.
Turn toward
what you need
to grow,
to evolve,
to Be Love –
may you
celebrate your
Season of Growth.

Remember You

Remember You.

In this life
you surround
yourself
with beliefs,
with what
you need to
believe in,
to make sense
of this physical life –
but when you
strip away
the exterior,
the story –
can you
remember You?

There Is You
that is Everlasting,
that knows Joy
and Peace
and Gratitude –
are these not
tenets that you
wish to find –
that you think
are earned,
or maybe
out of reach –
is this life
not about
the realization
that You Are
All Of That –
as you remember You?

Does not your
ego play
an important role
as you experience
free will,
exercising free choice –
does it not
feel good,
feel right
when you
choose Love –
is that not
where Joy
and Peace reside –
do you not
know Gratitude
when You
Are Love –
when you
remember You?

Can you turn
your thinking
inside out –
as you let
your soul
come out
to play –
there is a balance
with body,
mind,
and spirit –
the Love
that you seek
is already
within you –
did you know
that you are all
you need
to be?
Please don’t
forget to
remember You.

You Are Joy.
You Are Peace.
You are Gratitude
as you remember Love.

You Are All
of That –
take a look
inside,
as you
remember You.

Love Always Remains

20170529 XPicture

5/29/17

Not forgotten,
you cannot
lose it –
yes, your
loved ones
may seem
far away –
but are they
not as close
as the beat
of your heart –
you may think
that they
are no longer
with you –
but Love always remains.

What is Love,
but the binding
Force that
connects you all –
once you
experience Love
with a loved one dear
are you not
always connected,
do you not
feel them near?
You cannot
lose it –
Love always remains.

You feel this Love
open up your heart –
it may feel as if
your heart
may break –
is that not
only if
love could disappear –
is there not
a knowing
that Love is
forever near?
You cannot
lose it –
Love always remains.

There are glimpses,
there are signs
that death
is not the end –
do you not
seek to understand
what is life,
what is death?
What is the
only answer
to the questions
that you ask –
is it not Love
that endures
with no beginning,
with no end –
you cannot lose it,
you will always
Be it –
are you not
always together
with Love?

With Love,
you cannot lose it –
Love always remains.

Loved

20170528 XPicture

5/28/17

Each day
is the
perfect opportunity
for you to
feel that
you are loved.

Is it not
your conscious mind
that needs
reminding –
for does your
soul not
know already
that every minute,
every moment –
you are loved?

So when the day
is dawning,
can you not
open up your eyes,
to celebrate
another day,
another chance
to realize –
that no matter what
day it is –
one thing is sure
that never ceases,
is that you are
so very loved?

You may awaken
and think
“what is it
I have to do?”
do you not
often think
“what day is it?” –
and fill in
what that
day may bring?

But can you
take just
a moment –
when the
day is so
very new –
and know
as you are
so very loved –
have you not
fulfilled
what you
are here
“to do” –
is it not
enough
to Know
and Be –
loved through
and through –
yes, you are
so very loved.

No matter
if the day
starts out
rocky,
or if the day
goes so smooth –
there is
a constant
flow around you –
that is always
there for you.
Can you open up
your heart
and your mind
to believe it, too?

You Are So Very Loved.

What to do
with all
this Love?
Be That Which You Are.
Love.
Loved.
You.

Drop of Love

20170527 XPicture

5/27/17

A drop of Love.

Can you go 
throughout your day,
adding a drop of Love
to everything you do?

Might you think
that one drop
would hardly
be noticed –
would it not
take a larger
influx of Love
to make a difference,
to make a change,
to shift energy
from negative
to positive –
would just one drop
be enough?

And as you
cannot quantify
the Power of Love –
it is not based
on how much
is enough
to feel –
are you not sensitive
to the Strength of Love?

Can not
one drop
of Love
spread like pollen –
as you go
from place to place,
leaving a Drop of Love
everywhere you go –
does not Love
grow wherever
it is?

Would not a
Drop of Love
spread like water,
gathering,
one drop at a time,
growing larger
like a puddle
that flows
where it needs
to be –
do not the
ripples of Love
continue to
reach out –
touching who
and what
needs love?

Yes, might you add
one Drop of Love
to whatever
has your focus –
to see the difference,
and sense the change
in You?

There is the
Energy of Love
in everything
That Is –
might it take
a Drop of Love
for you to truly see –
the Love that
is in All?

Let one
Drop of Love
illuminate
the beauty,
the perfection
of All That Is.

All it takes
is Love.
One Drop.
One Love.
Add Love
to All.
Spread Love
one drop
at at time.

Clarity

20170526 XPicture

5/26/17

Clarity.

“I can see clearly now
the rain is gone.”

Are there not times
when rain and fog
settle in –
that you wish
for the clarity
that allows
you to see
all around you?

And yes,
rain brings
glorious things
to life –
and do you not
enjoy the time
when you can
stay in,
stay sheltered
and listen to the rain,
as the rain and fog
wrap a layer
around you –
almost like
a cocoon –
as you wait
for the rain and fog
to lift?

Does it not take
strong winds,
pressure changes
to scour out
and lift a fog
that has settled
into every
nook and cranny –
so dense,
so moist,
is the air
that you can
feel it on
every surface
that you touch?

But cannot
the strong wind
change the air,
lift the fog –
allowing you
to see
with such clarity –
do you not
almost gasp
at the clear
and beautiful colors
of each plant,
every tree,
the bluest sky
you have ever seen?

Do you not
appreciate
and are grateful
for the winds
that seem so strong –
do they not
make way for
changes to occur?

As the fog
has lifted,
as you are able
now to see
with greater clarity –
do you not
see familiar things
for the first time?

Is there not
a time and place
for the fog
and the rain –
as you go within
to rest,
restore,
and regroup –
so you may be ready
to greet the day –
to see clearly
whatever is meant
to be seen
with new eyes?

Are you not grateful
to experience
the calm
after a storm,
to experience
the peace
after tumult,
to see the sun
shine brightly
once again?

Do you not
appreciate
what you have
when you have not –
does not gratitude
help you see
with clarity?

May you lift
the fog
with a grateful
heart –
may Love lift
you to see
with clarity.

Clear.
Bright.
Beautiful Love.
There You Are.
Clearly Love.
Shine Your Light.

Magnet for Love

heart light

5/25/17

If like energy
attracts
like energy –
can you be
a Magnet for Love?

There are things
you may wish
to change
in others,
in the world –
but does not
everyone have
their own
perspective
on how they
wish to live
their life?

And do you
not find
when you push
up against
another’s beliefs –
do they not
feel the push,
the reaction
may be
to push back –
for does not
like energy
attract like energy?

Is there not
a better way
to bring more
love into the
world –
might you begin
with yourself,
loving unconditionally,
even as you
do the best
you can to
experience
what you wish
to learn in
this life –
can you not
accept and love
all of You?

And with this
Energy of Love,
being a
Magnet for Love –
will you not attract
what resonates
with Love?

And as you
vibrate with
the Energy of Love –
how can these
ripples not grow out,
connecting with
others who feel
the stirring within
their hearts –
in search of
and seeking
the Truth
of Who They Are –
are you not
all waking up
to the Love within?

And once you realize
that Love
has been here
all along –
it is in everyone,
can you love
yourself –
can you love
everyone
and not expect
for anyone
to have to change?

Is that not
truly what makes
being a
Magnet for Love
so powerful
in its scope –
can you Love
without putting
conditions
on that love?

And is this
not when
more hearts
that Love as One –
come together
as like energy
attracts like energy –
are you not all
Magnets for Love?

As You Are Love,
as you remember
Who You Are –
might that allow
another to see
the Love In Them –
as they see
the Love In You –
is there not
recognition
when you see
the Face of Love?

Be a Magnet for Love –
you cannot help
but Be.
As You Are Love
may you
Be the Love
you wish to
see in All.

See it.
Believe it.
Attract it.
Love.

Encouraged

20170524 XPicture

5/24/17

Encouragement.

Can you not find
courage
in encouragement?

Yes, courage is an
innate quality
that resides within you –
but does it not take
love and support,
encouragement –
to sometimes
draw upon
this courage?

Do you not
extend a hand,
encouraging others
to find their strength –
is it not common
to cheer
for the underdog –
is it not inspiring
to witness someone
rising above
all expectations,
finding their
strength and courage?

Are these not
qualities that you
encourage others
to find within –
even as you
may find it difficult
to encourage yourself –
is that why when
others give you
a gentle push
and cheer you on –
do you not then
draw upon
your Strength
and Courage
that waits
patiently within?

Can you be
your greatest
cheerleader?
Can you believe
in the Love That You Are?
Why wait for courage
to come to the fore –
when Courage is
Who You Are?

You have love
and support
all around you.
You are stronger
than you know.
Encourage yourself
to Be yourself –
with Strength
can you face
any fear,
with Courage
can you
find the way,
with Love
is not all
possible for you –
are you not
limitless,
possible
Love?

These are not
qualities to seek.
You need not
encouragement
to Know:
You Are Strength.
You Are Courage.
You Are Love
and so very Loved.

Be You.
Believe You.
Be Love.

Taking Steps

20170523 XPicture

5/23/17

You see a flight
of stairs
and do you
not wonder
where they go?

Do stairs not lead you –
helping you get
from here to there,
do you not
often take a
series of steps
to incrementally
rise up to
where you wish
to go?

Do you not,
at times,
look up
from the bottom
of a staircase
and wonder how
you will get
to the top –
does it not
take effort
to climb
if you cannot
see where the
steps may end?

But does not
a child
look at steps
and try to
climb them –
as soon as
they can move
or crawl –
is there not
an innate desire
to explore
the steps
that lie before you?

And have you not
bounded up
the stairs
2 or 3 at a time –
when you could
not wait
to get where
you wanted to be?

Is it not about intention –
can you look up
from the bottom
of a staircase,
knowing that
each step you take
is the perfect one
at the perfect time –
do you not learn
with every step
you take –
can you not help
but take
the next step?

Of course,
you know
there are
many ways to
get to where you
think you should go –
are not steps or stairs
a perfect vehicle
until you learn
to leap
or even fly?

Take the next step.
Make the leap.
Test your wings.

When you
believe in You,
how can you
not already
be There?

Believe in You.
Let Love lift You
where you wish
to Be.
Be the Love
That You Are
in every step
that brings you
closer to You.

You Are Here.
You Are Love.
You Are Home.

Finding Peace

20170522 XPicture

5/22/17

Are there not
pockets of peace
that you seek
throughout your day –
taking time to relax,
to take a break,
a time out,
to escape,
to slow down
whatever turmoil
that is going on
around you,
that may affect
how you feel.

And do you
not build
pockets of peace
from within –
is that not when
you find peacefulness –
turning in
the mind
that finds it hard
to turn away
from the turmoil
going on
like a movie
to be watched –
what will happen next,
what did that one do,
what will this one
do next?

And yes,
you are here
to learn from
reactions
to experiences
that you have,
relationships
that teach you
so much
about yourself.

But in the quiet,
when you find
the pocket of peace,
do you not build it
from within –
is it not a haven
that you wish
to carry with you
throughout the day –
can you not
expand
this peacefulness
so that you may
feel it more?

Is not Peace
an understanding
that All Is Well,
that You Are
So Very Loved –
and is this not true
no matter what
reaction you may have
going on around you
in a world
of this and that,
that will often
push and pull you
as you grow?

Is not Peace
the allowance that
there are many
different paths –
All are perfect
where You Are –
yes, you work and play
with what you believe in,
there are passions
that drive you on,
but can you move
forward with Love,
finding Peace,
that All Is Well,
is that not when
your Pockets of Peace
begin to expand,
as you experience
Love and Peace
by Be-ing You?

When you are
at Peace
with the Love
That You Are –
do you not dwell
in the perfect
and peaceful
Pocket of Love?

Expand Peace.
Expand Love.
As you expand
and grow –
be That
Which You Are.
Peaceful.
Loving.
You.
