Butterfly’s Lesson

20180121 XPicture

1/21/18

Do you not marvel
at the beauty
and the Strength
of a butterfly?

Though their wings look
thin and fragile,
do they not navigate
through winds,
erratic breezes –
are butterflies not adept
at flying,
or in stillness,
is there not a more
peaceful vision
than a butterfly
in repose?

Are not its wings
a triumphant banner,
that is raised up
when caterpillar is free –
after changes,
transformation,
do not its wings
symbolize its journey
through each phase
on the way to Be,
a miraculous Butterfly?

Do you not learn
from butterfly’s journey,
to have Faith and Trust
in what will be –
you need not wait
for transformation,
do you not possess
all the of beauty and
Strength that you may need,
are you not able
to navigate situations
that leave you breathless
from the wind –
can you not
still your breath
to let the magic
of your existence
filter in?

Though your beauty
is unique,
as each of you
wear different wings,
is it not your Strength
and Courage
that gives you Faith
to transform again –
if you wish to fly,
to soar,
like butterflies that you see,
can you display your colors
as you unfold,
can you raise your flag
for Love?

Love can fill up
any opening,
it can be the wind
beneath your wings,
might you spread
your wings
and with Love lift up
and Be One
with all that
Love brings?

You need not wait
for growth to happen,
it is happening
as we speak –
do butterflies
not teach you,
that miracles do exist?
Are you not a
beautiful miracle
created from
the Miracle of Love?
With Strength and Love
may you marvel
at the Miracle
of You.

Growing With Love

1/20/18

What pushes you
to change and grow,
are you not sometimes
content with the status quo –
then do you not feel
the current,
tugging you this way
or that,
making you push against
or giving you the opportunity
to let go and flow,
is there not always a choice
with a tug or a pull –
what do you hang on to,
what is good to let go?

Can you be comfortable
with the uncomfortableness
of change,
you may ask for more insight,
you may reach for a dream,
does not the road travelled
come with experiences
to show
that you are always changing
and do not challenges
help you to grow?

When you are pushed,
pulled or stretched,
does not the human
sometimes balk,
change need not be
uncomfortable,
what comes up for you
to see?
Ego loves to hold onto
patterns,
expectations to stay
in place,
but does not each
prickly experience
help you to look
for inner Peace,
if you cannot change
the external,
what reaction might
you seek,
does not each new
experience,
help you to find
the Balance of Love?

Do you not see a different
perspective,
when you come from
inner Strength,
does not Courage help you
to realize,
you are ready to continue
on,
do not experiences
push and pull you,
to see the Truth
of Who You Are –
does not life give you
opportunities
to know that
You Are always,
always Love?

Your perspective
may be clouded
by what is blocking
your view,
can you let go,
might you surrender,
to the beautiful,
magnificent You?

With nothing to prove,
you need not earn
the Love of All That Is –
Love Is Here.
Love Is There.
You Are That.
You Are Love.

There Is Love

1/19/18

There Is Love.

When you search upon
your Journey,
what gets revealed
in all you see,
what is the message
in every teaching –
There Is Love.

Even as you peer
into the darkness,
do you not always find
a Spark of Light,
what illuminates
your presence –
There Is Love.

What is the meaning
behind philosophy,
theology,
classic works you
may have read,
throughout time,
throughout history,
through eternity –
There Is Love.

What does Source
see in You,
only beauty,
only Love,
there is nothing
you need do –
There Is Love.

Can you see Love
in others, too,
looking beyond
the storied past,
do not others
help you to see –
There Is Love.

Can you look for
God,
Source,
Divine,
in every person
place or thing,
when you Know
that All Is Love –
There Is Love.

You Are,
All Is
and
There Is Love.

Live Life Now

cross light in the darkness in your hands

1/18/18

Live life now.

In between the thoughts
and stories
that paint so many
different scenarios
and color what you perceive,
is there not life happening
right at this moment –
can you meet life,
can you Be present,
can you live life
now?

You may not be aware
how often you time travel,
a few moments,
hours,
days,
do you not skip
to the future,
anticipating what will happen
next,
instead of being with You
right now,
do you not replay
what just transpired,
or what happened long ago,
are you not a product
of your memories,
but are You not Here
right now –
live life
now.

Would not your ego
miss the drama
of what it has created
for you,
would you find yourself
filling time,
as that is what you
are accustomed to,
can you see yourself
on a timeline
and be grateful
You Are Here –
does not every minute
feel precious,
when you
live life
now?

Yes there are events
that need thought
and planning,
but does not your mind
add so much more –
can you strip away
the comparisons,
judgements,
the “shoulds” that hide
behind closed doors,
will you not have
so much more energy,
clarity,
and room to
shine your Light,
when you clear out
thoughts that clutter,
when you
live life
now?

Do not fear losing
anything precious,
are you not making room
for Who You Are?
Clear out the cobwebs
of your mind
and look for You
in all you do.
Keep it simple,
keep it flowing,
as you marvel
at every move –
is there not more room
for Life
as You Are Love
right now?

Live Life.
Love Life
by loving you, too.
Right Here.
Right Now.
Love Is Here –
always with You.

Sharing Love

20180117 XPicture

1/17/18

Is not a shared experience
one that helps you to connect,
you may bond over
brutal weather,
or a challenging event
you would rather forget,
do you not come together
with a sporting team you cheer,
do not years of history
help you feel close
to friends so dear?

But are there not connections
that are much harder to see,
when you share a sense,
a feeling,
that something binds you
close to All,
do you not begin to share
experiences
that help open up
your hearts –
and when they do,
do you not Know
that you are All
connected by Love?

You need not share proximity,
does not Love exist Everywhere?
You may connect with kindred spirits
or with those no longer here –
can you be in the company
of strangers,
but do you not know
everyone,
does not their heart
beat with yours,
as you beat with the
Love of One?

When Love is what is shared,
do not experiences help to enforce,
that you may walk a different path,
but do not all roads
lead you back to Source?

You may wave to some
upon your Journey,
you may share the steps
you take,
some may take a road
less traveled,
or one you may not wish
to make,
but do you not share Love
with every soul
that you meet along the way,
is not a shared experience
one that lets You
experience Love?

Do you not feel the connection
when those around you
turn up the Love,
turn up your Light
even brighter,
Light and Love are
what you are made of –
add your Light to all
Bright Lights
and may this Light
be seen above,
is not the Expression
of One
Light enough to
shine for All?

Share Love.
Share Light.
Give freely of
Who You Are.
See it reflected
back to You –
One Light,
One Love.

A Circle of Love

20180116 XPicture

1/16/18

Where does Love
wish to go,
today?

You may identify needs
of yourself,
or others,
some may be requested,
some may be apparent,
but does not Love always know
where to go,
what to do,
might you turn up
the Light,
build the power
and ask,
where does Love
wish to go,
today?

Is it not in the giving
that your heart opens up,
does it not help to look
outside of where you are,
but giving is receiving,
and as a circle
is unbroken,
as Love connects you
to the Heart of All –
what you give
you receive
and at the heart
of All that matters –
where does Love
wish to go,
today?

Can you be a
Generator of Love
when the lights
begin to flicker,
can you turn up
the power,
a part of the cosmic grid,
are you not plugged into
Source,
the Source of All
Light and Love,
you need not know
who needs a boost,
a jump-start
to find their way,
does not Love
know where to go,
today?

Charge up.
Tap in.
Tune in to Love.
Send Light and Love
through the never-ending
circle.

Keep it going.
Keep it flowing.
Send it out
and take it in.

Love is Everywhere
You Are,
today.

Weightless

20180115 XPicture

1/15/18

Be weightless.

Why do you enjoy
swimming underwater
or floating on a raft
on top of the waves,
do you not have dreams
of flying unencumbered,
do you not envy the kite
aloft in the breeze,
can you not in an instant
have a birds-eye view,
when visualizing soaring
over it all,
can you not transcend
your earthly existence –
be weightless.

Yes, gravity is a force
you incorporate daily,
laws of physics keep you
anchored on the earth,
but moments in the water
or in your meditative mind,
do they not free you
from any burdens
that may be weighing you down,
when you wish to break away,
to be free of the chatter,
are you not in the spaces,
that are light and in between –
be weightless.

You know you are so much
more than your body,
you have felt the expansive space
where Love is always there –
as you integrate
your awareness
into your body,
your be-ing,
is not Love able to permeate
any object,
any thing –
are not the Ripples of Love
like the ripples of water,
do they not spread,
do they not flow,
unencumbered by anything –
does Love not find a way
through any resistance
it may encounter,
is not Love,
weightless?

Love is in the spaces.
Love is in the cracks.
Love is in between
Here and There.

Be Everywhere
and Nowhere.
Be Love.
Be Free.
Be where you wish
to flow –
Be weightless.

Trust Love

20180114 XPicture

1/14/18

Trust Love.

You may have disappointments,
life may go up and down,
your scenery may change
all around you,
or it may stay the same –
one day all falls into place,
the next it scatters once again,
what can you always go back to,
what is constant and is there –
trust Love.

An observer can look at all
with an objective eye,
when you are in the midst
of a drama,
is it not hard to feel the flow,
what anchors you,
what grounds you
and what lets you fly high –
do you not sense
Who You Are,
when you are able to
trust Love?

You may need to shift
your perspective,
yes, there are many tools
for this,
but Love is ever-present,
always ready,
at your fingertips –
when you wish to witness
the Truth
of Who You Are
at any time –
take a moment,
take a break,
be still and
trust Love.

You need not ride
the rollercoaster of life,
with its ups and downs,
when you are down,
is it not Love
that helps you
to get back up,
can you observe,
shaking your head,
by what life can bring
your way
and know that all
roads you are on,
are leading you to
trust Love?

Take a step back,
turn up your Light.
See the Truth of
Who You Are.
Love is within You,
Love is around You,
Believe in You
and Trust Love.

Building With Love

20180113 XPicture

1/13/18

Do not building blocks
help you to climb,
help you to see,
what you may not
have been able
to perceive
from where you were?

Is it not in
experience
that you shift
and grow,
are you not
at times like
a ball of dough –
might you knead this
in order to create that,
is not the push
and pull
of life’s experience
often the catalyst
that lets you know
where you can welcome
in more Light,
so you can better see?

Can you step upon
each building block
that is made of Love
to lift you up,
it may be hard not
to bring expectation in,
but can you have Faith
in the Process of Love,
that helps peel off
what may cover up
the expression of Love
That You Are –
are you not shaping,
are you not creating,
so that your human side
can see the magnificence
of Who You Are?

Feel the Gratitude
for every experience,
each one a building block
for you to climb,
you are your own
mountain
in this Journey of Life –
you can sit at the top
or you can experience
the hike,
no matter what route
you take,
you are already there –
a magnificent
Expression of Love.

Celebrate!

20180112 XPicture

1/12/18

Celebrate You.

“What’s that?” you say,
it is not a birthday,
it is not a special day,
can you move away
from what time,
or day,
or year
it is –
in this moment
and with Love,
might you celebrate
You?

You have multiple markers
in the human life –
to make achievements,
to chart progress,
to take stock
of what you have
done,
there are times you
celebrate
for a job well done.
On holidays,
during gatherings,
you may celebrate
a special time –
but we ask you now,
might you celebrate
You?

What is a celebration –
is it not a time
to see You,
to bring in Joy,
to open your heart,
to be surrounded
by Love, too,
you may think Love
is a special moment
that only happens
once in a blue moon,
but as You Are Love,
are you not eternally
special –
so might you celebrate
You?

Can you invite others
to the party,
do not All have everything
they need –
can you imagine
the confetti,
the Lights
that can be seen
from up above,
would not Love spread
so quickly,
if a party
for Love could be –
as simple as each of you
remembering to celebrate
You?

Celebrate the Truth
of Who You Are.
You Are Amazing.
You Are Magnificent.
With Love,
Celebrate You.
