Holding Love

Possessions.

A single word
that brings to mind,
many things
that you have touched,
many memories
are attached
to these things
that are attached
to you,
that are yours,
that are theirs –
are possessions
not separated out
to owners
that possess
or have items
in their possession?

And do you
not at times
fear that a memory
will be lost
if you give away
a loved one’s
possessions?

Yes, “possession”
brings to mind
many stories,
many experiences
that you have
here on earth –
memories that
make you laugh,
make you cry –
there are physical connections
that you share,
that you can touch
and you can hold –
is it not
this physical experience
that is so hard
to let go?

And does it not
make it hard
if you think
of things as “lost” –
if something
or someone
is out of sight,
do you not fear
that they are “gone”,
never to be seen
or felt again?

As your awareness grows,
as you know you
are always connected
to your loved ones
in your heart –
your spirit,
your soul
is always with
the ones you love –
it is a different
relationship
than the physical one
here on earth –
as you seek to re-connect
through your heart
and not through
the possessions
that you can hold.

Yes, there are
treasured items
that you will
always keep close –
but as you release
the possessions –
letting go of the
physical ties –
do you not open
up more space
to see beyond
what you can hold –
are you not
so much more
than what you
can possess?

And you need
not “re-connect”
to the Love
that is connected
to You –
are you not
eternally linked
together in this Love?
And as Love
is not something
to be owned
or to possess –
it cannot be lost,
it is never gone –
are not your
loved ones
just as close
when All Is Love?

As you release
what you think
holds Love
to you –
may you find
Love
Is Always There.

You Are Loved –
your Loved Ones, too.
You Are always
connected to Love.
All you need
is all you have
and That Is Love.

For 5/20/17:
*Note – this is a message originally received on 6/10/2016. I have an early function! 🙂
 
6/10/16
 
Superheroes.
 
Everyone –
at one time 
or another,
has loved,
looked up to,
or imagined themselves
being saved
by a superhero
or having the powers
of a superhero;
someone 
or something
with fantastic abilities –
usually for 
the good 
of others-
even if
embattled against
the “forces” 
of the so-called “evil.”
 
And is there
not usually
a vulnerable person
beneath the
cape or costume –
hiding in plain sight
not wanting
others to 
“see” what powers,
what abilities
they possess?
 
Does not this
superhero culture
demonstrate
the duality
of struggles
and angst
here on earth?
 
You place heroes
on a pedestal  
to be held up
as different –
with “super” 
powers and abilities
that very few have.
 
And we wish to remind you,
what a “hero” you are
to face the challenges
on this earth.
You have the 
power within
your very soul –
and abilities 
you cannot imagine.
 
And you are so loved.
 
And with that love –
is it so hard 
to imagine
raising everyone up
on the same pedestal,
lifting each 
vulnerable, hiding hero
up for all to see,
to experience
the fantastic abilities
that each person has
with and without 
the costume.
 
You do not need
to put on a cape
to shine
and to serve others.
Open your heart.
Open your eyes
to the power and abilities
that are within You.
 
Be fantastic.
Be super.
Be You –
That You Are.
A Hero for Love.

 

 

Flowing

20170519 XPicture

5/19/17

The path of
least resistance.

Is this not
where water flows?
When water falls
to pool,
to spread,
does it not
fill in
where there was
no water before,
moving around
almost through
what is in
its way –
does it now find
the tiniest of openings,
to slip through
on its way?

Does water not
change its shape
as it fills
the space
that it has found –
a glass of water,
a tub that is filled,
a narrow brook,
a lake so wide?

Does water not
seem most alive
when it is
flowing?
Does not water
standing still –
does it not
get stagnant
when it is not
in the flow?

Does water not
find a way
to maneuver around
whatever is
in its way?

Can you not learn
much about flow
from water
that follows a direction,
that fills or empties,
that changes course,
that moves through
obstacles,
that does not
hesitate,
when there is
an opening
to take?

And does not water
show its strength
when it is
in its flow –
cascading over
rocks so high –
does a waterfall
never cease
to be beautiful
and amazing?
Does a waterfall
not occur
when water follows
a path it has been shown,
is a waterfall
not a leap of faith
on the journey
of a drop of water?

When you are
in the flow,
do you find
no resistance,
are there turns
that appear,
that are so
obvious and wide –
is your path
no longer encumbered
with obstacles
in the way –
do you not
gather Strength
as momentum gathers,
pulling you
along with ease?

And it matters not
where you are going –
is not being
in the flow,
the greatest reward –
when you flow freely,
are you not like
the waterfall
in all of its
magnificence
and beauty?

Find your path
of least resistance –
this is where
the magic lies –
You Are every possibility
you can imagine –
be free to experience
what you wish
to explore.

Be in the flow
of your magnificent
Be-ing.
There are openings
around you
as you open
to You,
to Flow,
to believing
that You Are
magnificent,
beautiful
Love.

With Flow –
There Is Strength,
There is Joy,
All With Love.

Climbing

20170518 XPicture

5/18/17

Sometimes the journey,
your experiences,
feels like you are
climbing up a mountain –
it feels steep
with many challenges –
you wonder what
step to take,
so you can keep
climbing
and not slip
on rough terrain –
you visualize yourself
on top of the mountain,
but do you not need to
keep climbing,
keep moving,
to make it to the top?

When you are
so close
to obstacles
that you face,
is it not sometimes
hard to see the way?
Can you give
yourself some distance,
stepping back
in your mind to view
yourself upon
the mountain,
might you see
another path,
another way
that makes your journey
a little easier
for you?

And as you are
climbing,
are there not
perfect spaces
for your hands
to take hold,
as you pull up –
do you not
find places
for your feet
stable enough
to push off –
is there not
a push and pull
that keeps you moving
to the top?

You can look
back to where
you started,
to get a sense
of how far
you have come,
but when climbing
up a mountain,
it can look far
up to the top –
might you stay
present with
where you are,
focusing on
each step you take –
having Faith
that there is learning
on this journey
that you face?

Might you feel
that there are others,
reaching out
to pull you up –
you have ropes
that help secure you,
making sure
you do not fall –
you have support
upon this Journey,
you need only
have to ask –
are there not others
who are climbing
the mountain
just like you?

There are many ways
up a mountain,
there are many experiences
you may choose to have,
there are obstacles
that appear before you,
making the path
sometimes hard to find –
but when you make it
to the top of the mountain,
is not the view
sometimes worth
the climb?
Do you not learn
something about
yourself on each
journey that
you make?

You meet yourself
upon the mountain,
you see yourself
with every step –
does not every journey
you embark upon
bring you
closer to You?

You are not
the destination,
you are already
Where You Are.
Each journey you travel
brings you one step
closer to you –
and Who Are You?

You Are
the top of the mountain.
You Are
the magnificent view.
You Are
each challenge that
helps you to see –
You Are
a part of Everything,
the All That Is
is experiencing
Life and Love
and That Is You.

Connected Still

20170517 XPicture

5/17/17

How do you
connect with
friends, loved ones,
when they are not
by your side –
do you not
talk on the phone,
send messages
across the web,
even write
or send a card –
when you receive
a message
in various ways,
do you not
feel it in your heart –
are you not
connected still?

And as you
virtually connect
with others
using technology
that sends waves
to other spaces
where you are not,
are you not able
to send and receive
messages
that connect you
to them?

Are you not together
in a space,
sharing a frequency
that you cannot see –
but you feel
as connected,
almost as if
you are in
the same room?

Do you not use
the Frequency of Love
to stay connected
to the ones
you love,
that no longer
share your physical space
in this world?

And yes,
they make up memories
in your heart
and in your mind –
but even if you
no longer see them,
as they feel in a
different space –
does not the
Frequency of Love
that you share
always connect you –
do you not send
Messages of Love
from your heart
out to them?

Might you listen
with your heart,
believing they
are by your side –
are there not messages
that travel
back and forth
on the ever-connected
Web of Love?

You are always connected
to the ones you love –
there are Messages of Love
that are always there
for You –
they may be in
a different form,
needing an open
point of view,
but have you not
learned how to
navigate new
communications
in this world?

And as you resonate
with the Love
that flows through you –
might you already
have all you need
to receive these
Messages of Love –
as you tune in to
the Frequency of Love?

How do you connect
with loved ones
not by your side –
might you start
by knowing they
are right here with you?

Talk to your Loved Ones.
Believe that they
are here.
Know you are surrounded
with their Love
and All That Is.
Can you feel it
in your heart –
are you not
connected still?

Always Connected.
Always There.
Always Together.
Always Love.

Tune in and experience
the Frequency of Love.

Healing Love

20170516 XPicture

5/16/17

Restore.
Center.
Balance.

Feel the energy,
the power
that you draw
up from the earth,
grounding you
in this moment –
as you feel
the Love,
the connection
of Source,
of All That Is
in every fiber
of your be-ing –
does not this
balance,
this center of You –
have all it needs
to restore and heal?

Are there not times
that give you pause –
urging you to reflect,
to take time out,
to re-group,
to re-charge
and restore?

Might it be
a planned vacation,
or walks in the woods,
or health concerns
that make you stop,
getting your attention –
giving you time
and space to
restore,
center,
and balance?

Does not your body
begin to heal
when there is
something that
needs repair –
is exercise not
the breaking down
of what can be
built back up,
to be even
stronger than before?

Restore.
Center.
Balance.

Is this not
a cyclical phase –
is there not
an ebb and flow,
as you reach out
to learn and grow –
then draw back in
to reflect and absorb,
to grow again
in ways that may
surprise yourself?
Can you take
each experience
that sometimes may
throw you off –
as an opportunity
to shed the old,
as the Strength within
helps you to grow
stronger than before?

Are you not like
Phoenix rising –
shiny new
and stronger still –
are you not programmed
to regenerate,
to keep growing
and evolving –
with Strength and Love
at the core of
your be-ing?

Restore.
Center.
Balance.

Be patient
in the knowing
that Love will
lead the way –
might you always
feel the Healing
Power of Love.

Restore with Love.
Center to Love.
Balance all with Love.

Healing Love.
You Are.

Trust Love

20170515 XPicture

5/15/17

Hesitation,
holding back –
is that not
ego casting doubt –
“Are you sure?”
“Do you know?”
“Is it right?” –
Does not hesitation
happen when
you call into
question
what you think,
what you wish
to say,
what you wish
to do?

And is confidence
the antidote
to hesitation –
does not confidence
get stronger
when you believe
in You?

You do not
hesitate
when you are sure,
when you know,
but as there
are no absolute truths
in this world,
will there not
be many who may
not agree –
so might you
focus on what
you believe
is your truth?

Might you find
in your be-ing,
the center of
your “knowing” –
have you not often
been told to
“trust your gut?”

Your ego will
always question,
but can you not
balance this with
what feels “right” –
yes, you look for signs,
that help you
believe what you feel
in your heart to be true –
but what does it take
to believe
in You?

You may not
get validation
on certain things,
from other’s views –
but can you step
beyond doubt
and past fear –
no longer hesitating,
no longer needing
to be told
“this is right”
or “this is wrong” –
can you move forward
with what feels “right”
to You?

And if you need
to adjust,
change a view,
change your mind –
are you not
always learning,
always adapting
as you evolve?

You Are where
you need
to Be.
Accept.
Allow.
Believe.
Trust
in You.
Trust
in Love.

You find your Truth
when you know
That You Are Love.

Mother’s Love

20170514 XPicture

5/14/17

You have a day
to celebrate
the Love of “mom” 
and all that means –
how well you know
you cannot fit
all of the aspects
of Mother’s Love
into one day.

Does not the
relationship
of mother to child,
of child to mother,
stretch the limits
of what you think
Love is –
is it not often
your first experience
of unconditional Love?

And yes,
there are lessons
in this relationship,
as with all –
but is there not
a connecting bond
with who you call “mom” –
though life can test
the limits of Love
in this physical world,
is not this relationship
one that you learn
so much from?

And Mother’s Love
for a child
when as a baby
or when grown,
with you now
or waiting near,
together always
in your heart –
is there nothing
that can break
the connecting bond
that is always there –
even as life
bring changes to –
sometimes testing this
bond of Love
between mother and child?

Is not this
Bond of Love
at its core
unconditional Love –
even if you sometimes
do not believe it
with human eyes?

So yes, celebrate a day
that celebrates
a Mother’s Love,
a child’s love for
a mom –
in many roles,
in many ways –
but can you
contemplate a Love
that begins unconditionally –
and keep Love free
of any limits
or conditions
you place upon
yourselves?

Can you celebrate
a Mother’s Love
beyond a certain day,
a specific time –
have you not
all been touched
by a Mother’s Love?

Remember Love
that is born
so pure –
only Love.

That Is You.
That Is All.
That Is Love.

Step With Love

20170513 XPicture

5/13/17

You have climbed
the mountain,
you have reached
the top,
you have overcome
many of your fears,
your self-perceived
limitations,
congratulating yourself
upon reaching the summit-
do you not turn around
to see another mountain
that looms even higher,
right in the middle
of your path?

Do you not ask,
how can this be?
You have worked
very hard
to reach this place –
and now life
is asking
for more?

What do you fear
from the mountain
so tall,
this was not
in your plan,
where you think
you should go –
does not life
keep giving you
opportunities
to accept
and allow,
that where you are
is the perfect
place to be?

Might you begin
to climb the next
mountain to find,
that it is not
tall at all –
your Strength,
your Courage,
give you the energy
that you need,
to see over obstacles
that fall in your path,
obstacles that help
you to see,
that your biggest fears
are not outside
of you –
does not life
give you the chance
to move beyond your fears –
to accept and allow
that All Is Well,
you are safe
and You Are Loved,
no matter what
experience you face –
might you continue
one step at a time?

When you run
into walls
of fear,
of worry,
of doubt,
and you cannot face
another hurdle –
might you ask
for help –
ask God,
the Angels,
All That Is –
to lift you up,
to take your hand,
to help you see
that You Are Loved –
no matter the mountain
you are trying to climb –
is not the destination
always Love?

At all points
of your Journey,
You Are Always Love.
Do not all experiences
help you find
your way Home?

There is Love.
There Is Peace.
There Is Joy.
You Are That –
You Are Loved
with every step
You Are Love.

A Little Help

20170512 XPicture

5/12/17

“I get by with a little help
from my friends.”

You have friends
old and new –
do not some arrive
when you need
them most?
Are there not
friends from
a long storied past,
who know you well
and love you still,
as the experiences
you have shared
would fill a book –
are there not
friends who are
family to you?

Do you not share
certain experiences
with certain friends –
some who may
enter into your life
for a specific event,
who drop in
for a reason,
you may not
even know why,
but is there not
help you are giving,
or need to receive,
from a friend
who is there
when you need
them most?

Yes, there are friends
who have taught
you wonderful lessons –
friends who you
no longer see
eye to eye –
have they not
brought you along
to where you are
right now –
is there not Gratitude
you feel
for the experiences
you have shared –
can you not
thank them
from your heart –
have they not fulfilled
what you wished
to learn?

Are not friends
about relationship,
do you not learn
from how you relate –
are they not mirrors
to help you
remember
Who You Are –
are there not those
you have known
for eternity,
for all time,
do they not arrive
at the perfect time –
“There you are!”
you say –
can you not
do more than
“get by”
with a little help
from your friends?

Sometimes it is
when you are
vulnerable,
that a friend
is there for you –
do you not need
to ask for help –
does it not
help someone
feel good
when they are
needed, too?

There is a giving
and receiving
that you experience
with friends –
as you give help,
as you receive,
do you not experience
Love and Gratitude –
are you not there
when they need you,
are they not there for you?
Do you not
experience Love
with a little help
from your friends?

Be a friend.
Thank a friend.
Be Grateful.
Be Love.
Be There.
You Are
in this together
for a reason –
for Love.
Always,
always,
Love.
