Hi, my name is Sandy. Welcome to You Are Love Now! On my journey of Awakening, in meditation, I was nudged to begin writing what was coming through my consciousness, from my Higher Self and beyond. This happens almost daily and I have been encouraged by those who read these inspired messages to share them with a wider audience. These messages come through me, but they are received from a Higher Source than what my mind could create on its own. I present these Poems of Awakening to you, dear soul, as we travel this spiritual journey together. And the message that I always feel from these writings? You Are Love Now. Perfect. Whole. And always so very loved. If these messages speak to you, I invite you to follow this blog so you may receive the ongoing messages as they are posted.

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.

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.
