Love and Gratitude

Do you not possess
different perspectives,
different vantage points
to look
at any situation
for understanding
or for Truth.

The human story
is complicated,
different truths
get debated as
you seek to find
who is right
or wrong,
or an outcome
you are counting on –
do not expectation,
disappointment,
anger and pain
often reign
in this state of Life?

It is hard to
give up this perspective,
even as you know Love
you resist,
but can you diffuse
any situation –
with Love
and Gratitude?

Can you paint
a different picture,
to see a different
way to look –
might you choose
a different color,
might you use
a different stroke,
if you have always
started at the top,
might you try
from bottom – up,
can you create
this new landscape,
using the colors
of Love
and Gratitude?

You may resist change,
but is not resistance
usually where
there is learning,
there is growth,
even as you wish
to turn away –
can you turn into
what you bump up
against,
as your palette now
contains the hues –
helping you create
a new scene to play
with Love
and Gratitude?

You can see
in black and white,
you can see
what colors blend –
but can you
simplify any picture,
when you see
with Love
and Gratitude?

Can you embrace
Gratitude,
especially when
it is hard to do –
does Gratitude
not nudge you,
lovingly,
to step outside
of you?

And when this perspective
changes,
opening you to
Be You –
is this not where you
can see it all –
when you play,
create and understand,
in the energy
of Love
and Gratitude?

Your human side
may not understand,
what your Higher Self
knows is True –
you can see
and experience
the Masterpiece of You
with Love
and Gratitude.

A Presence of Love

Do you not search
for a reason,
is there not a need
to justify,
do you not look
for where to place blame
on what causes you
hurt or pain?

Can you feel the energy
with this,
fingers pointing out
away from you –
“woe is me”,
“look what you’ve done” –
and yes, you sometimes
place blame on you,
have there not been times,
when you think
you are the reason
for your own pain?

And what if you find
“the reason” –
does that not come
with justification,
do you not search
for “why”
someone or you
would “deserve”
to receive what you
consider to be
a cause of
suffering or pain?

What if you threw out
all the roles,
that you place
on what you experience –
what if you looked
through a lens
that neither blames
or justifies –
what if there is
a broader perspective
on what you play out,
what you are here to learn –
what if you send
Gratitude
to all that comes
your way?

Is it not in
these earthly roles,
that your soul
can stretch and learn –
and is there
not learning for you
right now,
right here,
today?

Can you not change
the energy of
every experience
you are in,
when you accept
that you are part
of the experience?
Is there not Strength
when you can
move beyond the surface –
and know that the
experience is
what you chose
and that it is not just
happening “to” you?

As separate as you
may sometimes feel,
you are always
part of the Whole –
as you wish to feel
unconditional Love,
is this “training ground”
not a place for you
to be the presence of
this Love, too –
yes, do you not search
for a reason,
is there not a need
for justification,
do you not look
for how or who
(including you),
is deserving of this Love?

There are no strings
to Love.
Set yourself Free
from If – then – That.
As You Are Love,
be the Presence of Love
and receive All That
You Are.

In Gratitude –
there is Strength,
there is Peace,
and There Is Love.
Always, always,
Love.

I Am, I Am

State Who You Are –
I Am.
I Am.

There is a seed,
a stirring within you,
that remembers
Who You Are.

You may have one,
you may have many
purposes in this Life,
but is there not purpose
in remembering,
You Are Love?

You have forgotten
so you can experience
All There Is –
that will lead you,
that will remind you
of All That Is.

All That Is You,
All That Is Love –
and You Are That.
And so are you,
and you,
and you –
All One,
One Love.

Yes, there are choices made
in your forgetful state,
but does not an outcome
there,
make you look
over here,
is not duality designed
for you to experience
what is not –
so that you may
discover
and remember
What Is
and Who You Are?

Can you have Gratitude
for every fork
in the road,
in the knowing,
in the remembering
that there is
no “wrong” turn –
you cannot “fail”,
there is no other place
you “need” to be –
you are where
you actually started –
You Are Here
and
You Are Home.

State Who You Are –
I Am.
I Am.

You Are Here.
You Are Home.
You Are Love.
And so very Loved.

A Place for Love

20171005 XPicture

Allow Love.

Do you not sense
the freedom,
the release,
the understanding,
when you
Allow Love?

Does Love not know
where to go,
what to heal,
when you allow space
to Allow Love
to Be?

Allow Love.

Is this not
a receiving breath
that you draw in
from within
your very core –
that you may have
noticed or not
before,
do you not have access
to All That Is,
that breathes this Life
into you,
when you surrender,
when you let go,
when you enter
a space
to Allow Love?

And in this allowance,
is there not a
question –
what would Love do?

And we wish to tell you,
there is no need
to think about
what Love would “do” –
as you Allow Love
to flow within you –
will you not be
in the space
of how would Love Be –
yes, then choose your actions
from this Place of Love,
this loving space,
as you make room
and Allow Love.

And you need
not think
that allowing Love
is not strong enough,
or active enough –
have you not experienced
what conscious thought
has created in
your world?

If you wish to change
the world,
does it not begin
with a thought –
might you choose Love,
does it not start,
when you Allow Love?

Allow.
Receive.
Be guided.
Be loving.
Be kind.

Make time,
make room.
Make a
Place for Love.

Waves of Love

20171004 Waves of Love

10/04/17

When looking through
the looking glass,
sometimes it is
too dark to see,
you may see that Love
is hard to find –
what is this place
you have stumbled upon?

When you look out
and see a reflection
of a world that
does not appear
to make sense –
as You Are a
co-creater of
All That Is –
can you step up,
might you volunteer,
to make waves
as a Wave of Love?

As All is energy
and like energy
attracts like energy,
be aware of what
you focus on –
does not every experience
give you the experience
to choose Love
again and again?

The ripple effect
is very strong,
it can move mountains,
it can change
the landscape –
you can make
waves that are
big or small –
size doesn’t matter,
when You Are
a Wave of Love.

But a Wave of Love
begins with you –
it is not a reaction
to what you fear,
any dark abyss
is devoid of Light –
can you turn up yours,
can you shine bright?

If the ripple effect
of hurt and pain
is in need of a
new movement
in order to change,
can Waves of Love
not be felt
in an instant,
when you focus
and keep your eye,
your attention
on Love?

As a Wave of Love
will you not attract
any resonant energy
that echoes with Love –
Love Is Here
in everything –
you may be distracted,
you may be in pain,
but do not
Ripples of Love
begin to make waves?

When looking through
the looking glass,
do you not see
sparks of Light –
invite them in,
find them in You,
turn up your Light,
send out your
Waves of Love.

Love heals
all that
comes up
to be seen,
to be felt,
to be healed.

Be Strength.
Be Courage.
Be part of
a new beginning.
Begin Now.
Begin with a
Wave of Love.

Circle of Love

20171003 XPicture

10/03/17

You need not
“fight” for Love,
has not enough
fighting gone on –
no more lines drawn
to divide,
can you stand
in the Circle of Love?

Why does it take
horrific events
to widen the circle
that you stand in,
so you may
find solace
in the common,
shared perspective,
agreeing on what is
a tragedy –
moving forward,
can you include All
in your Circle of Love?

You feel despair,
you wring your hands,
there are situations
you cannot foresee –
what can you “do”
to make things “right” –
might you begin
with You?

Can you move Love forward,
can you expand your circle,
sending Light to all
in the Circle of Love –
might someone see
a sliver of Light
through the darkness,
through the night –
yes, you can change
the laws you live by,
but is it not Love
that opens hearts –
can you keep expanding
to include All
in your Circle of Love?

And as Love Is Eternal,
as Love is infinite
in its reach,
as You Are Love,
are you not always
in this Circle of Love –
is Love not
all-inclusive,
it is here
for everyone –
can you Be
an Expression of Love,
as you share
the healing balm
of Love?

The Circle of Love
includes each One
of the Whole.
Be this Love.
Believe in Love.
Surround the cycle
of hurt,
with the Circle of Love.

Love All.
Love You.
Be Love.
Believe Love.

Be a loving link
in the Circle of Love.

Laughter, Joy and Love

20171002 XPicture

10/02/17

Is there not magic
in the energy
of laughter,
Joy
and Love?
Is all not possible
in this loving space?
Is this not
when creation happens,
when you experience
Who You Are,
bathing in these
healing,
giving,
receiving,
properties of Love?

Can you not
make time stand still
when there is
laughter,
Joy
and Love –
in this moment
of the present,
do not past
and future
join you, too –
as you feel Love
in the now,
are you not
joyful with
All of You –
and does not
all the Love
there is
come to play
along with you?

Is there not healing
in the presence
of laughter,
Joy and Love –
do you not then
have permission
to let go,
to get out
and play –
does not the
little child in you
know exactly
what to do,
can you hold hands
with You,
invite your loved ones
to dance, too –
is it not
a party
when there is
laughter,
Joy
and Love?

Is there not magic
in the energy
of laughter,
Joy
and Love –
is this not
the magic
That Is You?
Can you look
for these moments
when a smile
spreads across
your face,
when you feel Light,
when you feel Love –
can not laughter
and Joy
open your heart,
invite you
to play?

Create.
Heal.
Play.
Be inspired
with laughter,
Joy
and Love.

There is magic
in the Joy
and Love
of You.

Foundation of Love

20171001 XPicture

10/01/17

There are symbols,
there are guidelines,
there are rules
that help keep peace,
to bring an order
to the world
in which you live.

When there are questions,
when there is friction,
when fingers point
from here to there –
is this not a perfect
time to question,
what stirs you up,
what is your reaction,
what may come up
for you to heal –
and might the healing
of One
help to heal
a collective Whole?

It may not feel good,
it may cause strife,
when you question
what you thought
was true –
when beliefs
crash into beliefs,
do not walls
come tumbling down –
do you not look
for a foundation,
something sturdy
to stand upon,
you can rearrange
the structure
that you think
brings structure
to your world –
but are you
not searching
for what is solid
enough to support
all that you are –
and is not
What You Are,
what you seek,
is it not Love?

When you strip away
the symbols,
the beliefs,
who is right
or wrong –
what do you
have in common,
with those you
cannot agree upon,
you can keep
building walls
that keep you
separate,
drawing a dividing
line –
or can you see
with Eyes of Love,
that at your core
you all want
the same?

As One of the Whole,
can you listen,
can you send
another Love –
turn up your Light,
be a beacon,
to help ease
pain and suffering –
yes, work for change,
but can Love
be the foundation
as you rebuild –
do you not sometimes need
to tear down
what can no longer
stand alone?

Is there not Strength
in unifying,
is there not growth
in a common cause –
can you search
deep inside
and find a
common cause for Love?
Can you look beyond
the structures of beliefs
that you are standing on –
can you find
where Love begins,
can you begin
with a Foundation of Love?

Is there not Peace,
is there not Strength,
when you stand
with Love?

Create.
Build.
With Love
may you
stand tall
and stand together
on the Foundation of Love.

A Journey of Love

20170930 XPicture

9/30/17

When you look
or ask
for answers,
do you not
expect them to come
in an instant,
in a flash,
so short is the attention,
with the expectation
that all information
is at your fingertips –
in a linear world
are these not rules
that usually work
in this way?

In the human world,
you search,
you seek,
you find the answers
to your questions –
it is a very active role,
but as you are spirit, too,
as your soul,
your Higher Self,
has information
you wish to hear,
is there not a receptive space
that you can access
to receive?

And sitting in the silence
is the perfect place
to start,
but is there not access,
is there not possibility
in any moment everyday?

When you are open
to receiving,
do not puzzle pieces
fall into place –
the right person
that you talk to,
a thought that
“pops” into your head,
a book you dust off
finally to open –
are there not infinite ways
to help you
find direction,
open doors
that you thought
might be closed –
when you let go
into the flow,
tapping into
your own soul?

Do you not “know” it
when you feel it,
when inspiration comes
and feels so close –
like a thread
loose before you,
if you pull
what might come next?
There is delicious
anticipation,
you may not know
yet where it leads –
but can you be patient
in the knowing
that throughout it all –
All Is Well?

There is a balance
being human,
being Spirit,
both at once –
the human side
has been the driver,
following a human map –
can you let go
of the wheel
and trust Spirit
to take the lead,
letting you take in
the scenery,
with gleeful anticipation
at what may happen next –
can you share
the journey
on this Road Trip
you call life –
can you settle back
and let Spirit
be the driver
for awhile?

Let Go.
Step back.
Look around,
what do you see –
able to take in
what once was
moving too fast
to see?

When you are focused
on the destination,
do you not miss
stops along the way?

Share the road.
Experience the Journey.
You Are Love
and You Are Free.

The Presence of Love

20170929 XPicture

9/29/17

Can you Be the
Presence of Love
today?

And what would that
feel like,
smell like,
sound like,
look like,
taste like –
yes, you experience
your day
with the physical senses,
but would you not
invite in,
expand,
the Presence of Love
that You Are?

And does not part
of you gasp,
thinking “how can I
be Love all day!” –
and is that not
the first judgement
that the human side
of you
is so quick to
point out –
the “can and cannots”,
the “yes, buts”,
as the analytical brain
wishes to weigh in,
to control the situation,
to insure a certain outcome,
but –
can you Be
the Presence
of Love today?

And let us pose
this as a statement –
so that no thought
is needed –
Be the Presence
of Love today –
and with no time pressure,
does not this statement
feel different in its energy,
is not the
State of Be-ing,
something you
as a human being,
do all day?

When you go from
human being
to Spirit being,
to only Be-ing –
is there not Peace
Be-ing in the
Presence of Love?

And is not
Be-ing in the
Presence of Love,
as You Are Love,
is this not a statement
for you to Be –
Be You,
Be Love,
Be Peace –
and moving to this
State of Being,
this Presence of Love,
does it not feel natural
to expand to
this Place of Peace –
this part of you
that sometimes
is hard to sense
with the physical senses
as those are often
barraged with input
from this busy,
physical world?

And there need not Be
a question for you
to Be Where You Are –
you may set the
intention,
you may become
aware,
That You Are
the Presence of Love.

Be Aware.
Be Present.
Be the Light
of Love
that shines
through You.
Experience the
Presence of Love
That Is Here.
That Is You.
That Is Love.
