A Paradox of Change

20170920 XPicture

9/20/17

Help is here.
Help is near.
When you are ready,
the teacher will come,
but sometimes
is the teacher
not one
you would expect?

Is there not teaching,
is there not learning
in every experience
that you have –
no need to judge
as good or bad,
is it not about
discernment –
when you are
working something out,
are there not times
when you think
you know –
only to find out
you did not?

And is it not
in the “not-knowing”
that you look
for something new –
another door to open
to another part of you –
do you not sometimes
close off
parts of you
that you have
never seen,
when you think
you know all
there is to you,
open up
and look again.

You may feel unsettled
when trying something new –
help is here,
help is near,
when you are ready
the teacher will come.

It may be a turn
in your path,
it may be the same path
in a different light –
do not seasons change
the surroundings
you are in –
you may dress,
you may prepare
in a different way,
but are You not
Who You Are,
no matter what
the day?

Embrace the Change
That Is You.
Are you not changing
everyday?
And even as you
create anew,
as Love Is your core,
your very Be-ing,
you always will
Be You.

The Paradox of Change.
The Power of Love.
The more you change,
the more you understand,
that you stay the same –
for You Are
Always Love.

You Are the Teacher.
You Are the Student.
Love is here.
Love is near.
You Are Love.

Grow Within

9/19/17

“Grow up.”

And does not that phrase
give you a jolt –
is it not usually
to admonish one
who is not
“acting your age”,
does it not imply
to be more serious,
to let go of
childish behavior –
to become
an “adult”,
with whatever
connotation
that brings?

And yes,
it is good
to take responsibilities
seriously,
but we wish
to implore you –
grow within.

When you grow within,
do you not
already have
all you need
to experience,
to evolve,
to grow –
there is no need
to “grow up”,
or away
from Who You Are –
do you not wish
to keep playing
with the child
that is You?

Do you not see
the world with
different eyes,
does not the child
within you,
want to dance,
want to play,
to let curiosity lead,
to try something new,
to splash in
the water
just because?
Grow within.

Can you integrate
the parts of you
That Is You?

Is it not the
child within you
that loves to
revel in the
Joy –
does not “growing up”
often frown upon
this gleeful Joy –
yes, take your
child’s hand
and grow within
to see the Light –
All of You
basking in the Love
of All That Is.

Grow within
to meet You –
as you are more
than meets the eye,
you are beyond
what you can see,
it does not matter
where you are,
you exist Everywhere –
as you grow within,
do you not also
grow without?

Put the fun
back in growth.
Feel the Joy
as you experience.
What brings you Joy?
Is not the answer,
simply,
You?

Grow within to see
the Love That You Are.
When you find Joy
do you not also
find You?

Let your child
come out to play.
Grow with Joy.
Grow with Light.
Grow with Love.

Walk With Love

20170918 XPicture

9/18/17

Find your own path.
Walk with Love.
Let Love show you
the way.

There are times
when you are unsure,
asking what direction
shall you turn,
when questions form,
the answers are there –
let Love show you
the way.

If you feel that
you are drifting,
not as grounded,
feeling disconnect –
feel the Love
from the earth
flow through you
as you walk –
let Love show you
the way.

You may feel lost
and on your own,
feeling a void
that feels empty
or gone,
is that not a space
to ask Love in,
to remind you that
you never walk alone –
let Love show you
the way.

You are always
connected
to Love,
Divine Source –
are you not Love
incarnate
right now?
Walk the path
you are on,
each step you take
is walking with Love,
as You Are Love,
let Love show you
the way.

Each step
with Love
is the perfect way.
May you feel
Peace
when you walk
with Love.

You Are
your path.
Walk with Love.
Let Love
show You
the way.

Cascade of Love

20170917 XPicture

9/17/17

A waterfall,
where water flows,
are you not witness
to its Strength,
are you not amazed
at the power,
the sound,
as the waterfall
is ever-flowing –
is this not like
the sound of Love?

Does it not feel
like magic –
the waterfall,
with no beginning
and with no end,
the water simply
appears to fill in,
you look at the rocks
over which water flows,
each rock making its
own waterfall,
the water is everywhere
in each crevice and crack –
is this not like
when you look at Love?

Is not Love as powerful
as the waterfall,
you see it as Whole
made up of separate parts –
are you not a unique aspect
of All That Is –
are you not a
drop of water
in this Cascade of Love?

Are you not an
expression
of always flowing –
where do you begin,
where do you end,
do you not cycle,
lettings Love’s journey
show you the Strength,
the Courage,
the Love you have
within?

You roar like
the majestic
sound of water.
You sparkle with
the beauty,
the eternal Love
that shines.
You Are an integral part
of the Whole
that cannot end,
that will not cease
and will never, ever
die.

Keep flowing.
Keep moving.
With the Love
that moves you
over obstacles
and with the flow.

Be still and listen
to the music
That Is You.
Be You and see
You Are Always,
Always Love.

Growing

20170916 XPicture

9/16/17

Grow where you are
planted,
thrive with what
comes your way,
soak up up what
speaks to you,
letting what does not
to pass through –
do you not know
what resonates
with the vessel
That Is You?

Be Where You Are.
Do not worry there
is somewhere else
to go,
or something else
you “need” to do,
let your roots
hold firm and steady,
breath in the air
that breathes You –
are you not growing
exactly Where
You Are
right now?

Is not where you are
planted,
a temporary place –
yes, you belong
to Mother Earth,
but are you not part
of the sun,
as you reach for
the sky,
do you not belong,
are you not One
with the Love
of All That Is?

Can you not grow
wherever you are
planted,
yes, placed here
with intention,
but You Are Everywhere
at once –
can you feel Gratitude
for the magnificent vessel
That You Are and
That Is You?

Take in what speaks
to you.
Resonate with what
moves you.
With Love surrounding you,
it is what breathes You.
Grow.
Be.
Flourish.
Thrive.
Love Is
Where You Are.

Starlight

Be a star.

Like the stars shining
in the sky,
can you brighten
up even
darkest night,
if one star fades
does not another
grow bright –
do they all not
twinkle their own
unique Light?

As stars appear to move
across the sky,
do not constellations
stay together,
even as they shift –
like them,
are you not
connected still,
even when your
perspectives change –
maybe looking at
the earth
from a different view?

Be a star.
You are a unique Light,
with your own
beautiful glow,
in a symphony of Light –
a shining One
part of the Whole,
you may move,
you may flicker,
but do you not
always shine
with the Light and Love
that flows through You?

You Are a perfect
Light that shines.
Sometimes the filter
of the earth
may obstruct your view,
but with eyes
of the heart,
do you not see
the Love
That Is You,
as you twinkle, twinkle,
beautiful Star?

Be a Star.
Shine your Light.
Beautiful Light.
Beautiful You.
You Are Light.
You Are Love.
Shine.

Dancing With Love

20170914 XPicture

9/14/17

Change it up.
Try something new.

Are there not
many opportunities
for you
to not react
in the same way,
as you become aware
of patterns made –
if this,
then that –
does that not begin
to constrict
and limit you?

There is no need
for thought,
when going through
a familiar dance,
do you not anticipate
every turn,
ready with a usual
response,
but what if
there is a
new dance
that flows,
that brings out
a new way to move –
yes, it can be
daunting
to learn new steps –
but is there not
freedom
when you change it up,
try something new,
to not expect,
letting old ways
be transformed,
as you choose again?

Is it not Love
that is the energy,
that can transform,
that helps you see
in a different light –
can you call on
Love
to show you patterns
that you wish to see,
patterns that may
give you opportunities
to react
in a different way –
is not every opportunity
another chance
to choose
and Be,
Love?

Learn a new dance,
marvel at how
you move –
do you not
see You
in a different Light?
Does your awareness
not grow
when you are
part of this
Flow –
letting Love
lead the way?

And as you
shine your Light,
seeing patterns
that you have not
seen before –
is there not Gratitude
as you dance
and sway,
letting Love lift
and show You
the way –
as you change it up,
trying something new –
is there not Freedom
to let go
and truly Be You?

Be Aware.
Choose Love.
Dance with You.
Dance with Love.

Simply, Humble, Love

20170913 XPicture

9/13/17

Is it not Humility
that helps you
to see,
it is not a race –
there is no first,
there is no last,
there is only
Be –
as you let go
of comparison,
of judgment,
of what is coming,
or what was then –
is it not Humility
that allows you space
to Be
right where
You Are?

In the human world
of duality,
there is “look at me”,
along with “woe is me” –
does not Humility
show you how
to be in awe
of something that
is greater than you,
but is part of you, too,
are you not amazed
at the Mystery of Love
that never ends –
are you not humbled
in the presence of
this Everlasting Love?
Humility.

You need not think
that Humility
means being less
or a call to attain more –
is not Humility
the stripping away
of comparison,
of judgment,
in the Presence of Love –
is it not when in
the Flow of Love,
that you feel
the Truth,
the simplicity,
that Humility brings,
is there not relief,
when you know
Love Is All
There Is
and
You Are That?

Be Humility
as you sit
in the Presence
of Love.
There is no need
to obtain,
to hold on –
with Humility,
may you
Be and Know
the Truth of
Who You Are.

Be.
Rejoice,
in the Presence
of Love.

Simply,
Humble.
Love.

A Common Cause

20170912 XPicture

9/12/17

Food,
water,
shelter.

When stripped down
to the basic needs,
is this not when
you feel the same
in this world of
duality,
where separation
and differences reign –
when a catastrophic event,
man-made or nature’s way,
makes you think
“that could be me”,
does that not create
a common cause,
when compassion
becomes the norm,
when help and aid
come in with
food,
water,
shelter?

And when you move beyond
the story,
of the human side
of you,
is this not when
you feel the same,
in this world
of duality,
when you realize
that you share
the Common Cause
of Love?

Is it not Love
that fuels compassion,
that gives you the drive
to want to help –
is it not the feeling
of being there
for someone else –
what lights the spark
in your heart,
what makes your soul
leap with Joy –
you may not be aware
of what you feel,
but is it not Love
that nudges you
to take the step,
the right thing to do –
in times of need,
does it not feel good
to share a Common Cause
of Love?

Food,
water,
shelter.
Yes, you have learned
these basic needs
are the building blocks
of being human,
but as You Are Spirit,
here and now,
do you not exist
because of Love –
is not Love
the fuel you need,
as basic as
the air you breathe –
and when that is gone,
do you not live on
with the Common Cause
of Love?

If at any time
you could see,
that you all share
a common cause –
it is not only to have
what you need
to live to see another day,
but to feel
the spark,
the flame,
the Light,
that ignites in You,
Who You Are
right now –
do you not wish
to be in the presence of –
the Common Cause
of Love?

Share.
Give.
Unite
in Love.

Be-cause.
Be You.
Be Love.

Be Together

Friends Playing on the Beach

9/11/17

Together.

Do you not band
together,
to lend a helping
hand,
are there not times
when you realize,
that there is help
when you need support –
when in times
of need,
is it not easier
to go through it
together?

Does it not take
greater strength
to ask for help,
to reach out –
in this life of
separation,
why do you feel
you need to
“go it alone”,
do all not grow
when one is lifted,
when you connect,
when you share –
is not the greatest Strength
experienced when you
work and play together?

Yes, it often takes
a common cause
or times when you
step outside
your “usual” lives,
can you step beyond
your comfort zones,
to let someone know
they are not alone –
can the common cause
be one of Love,
as you reach out your hand
or look with your heart –
can you see You,
in who stands
next to you?
Together.

Together you share
so much more
than what you think
are differences –
you may not agree
on everything,
but can you see
Love in humanity –
do not wait for
an invitation
or a catastrophic event,
can you Be Love now,
together?

When you get beyond
the “yours” and “mine”,
helping each other
to see the Light,
is there not comfort
when you share,
that the Love you seek
is everywhere –
does Love not grow,
is there not a bright
Light,
when you experience
the Love That You Are
in this life –
together?

Be a shining Light.
Let it connect
You to All.
As All Are Love,
how can you not
Be
Love
Together.
