Always Love

IMG_4880

4/17/17

When you strip
down to the core,
to the very
essence of You,
what do you
wish to find,
to feel?
There Is Love.

When a loved one
passes on,
out of your sight
but not your heart,
where do you
feel them now?
There Is Love.

When you step into
an empty house,
an empty room,
a place you shared,
do you not
open your heart
to feel them there?
There Is Love.

A memory,
an object,
you may use
to think about
your loved one dear,
but does not
their essence
blend with yours?
There Is Love.

It is not something
you will forget,
it cannot be lost,
it cannot be held,
as Love Is All There Is,
it never dies.
There Is Love.

Your human eyes
will try to find it,
your human hands
will seek to touch,
but is not Love
something you
cannot contain,
is it not in
your heart,
do you not
feel it now –
as you sense
the waves of Love
wash over you,
There Is Love.

Can you carry
this Love forward,
limitless opportunities
you always have,
as you share
the Love
that is in your heart,
do you not
prefer to Be
in this loving space –
can you extend
the Love That You Are
and find –
There Is Love.

There is always,
you cannot lose it –
You Are It
and It Is You,
There is only,
There is always,
always Love.

Emerge

IMG_4851

4/16/17

The bear emerges
from its den,
its place of solitude,
needing to wait
until the conditions
are right
for Bear
to find what
it needs –
to come out,
to move around –
moving slowly at first,
as Bear acclimates
to life outside
of the den,
where Bear
has been waiting
for the light,
for new growth,
for spring
to emerge.

Are there not times
when you feel
like the bear,
wanting to feel
secure and tucked
away in a den,
so as not
to be disturbed?
Do you not
feel comfortable
where you are –
keeping your surroundings
much the same,
do you not
often identify with
what surrounds you –
holding close
the things
that tell the beautiful
story of you?

Emerge.
Is there not a time
when you emerge –
looking out
to see more light –
are you not looking
for fresh air,
the space to
move about –
is it not time
to stretch,
to reach beyond
where you have been –
do you not
wish to see
what has grown
within you?

And as you look
for more light –
do you not
become aware
that all the
Light you need
shines within You?

Can you emerge
from your den,
from the story
of who you are –
for as your Light
becomes so bright,
do you not wish
to shine it everywhere –
can your Light
now no longer
be contained?

As you shed
the story of you
and step into
the Light
of Who You Are –
are you not
ready to emerge
and Be fully You?
Are you not
ready to explore
like the bear
in the spring –
no longer
needing to feel
the familiarity
of a den,
but free to
move about
and fully Be?

Emerge and express
the Love That You Are.
Stretch.
Move.
Shine your Light.

See yourself
as the Light and Love
of Who You Are.

Flow of Love

Mist at Tone River

4/15/17

The flow
of a river –
no matter
how big
or how small
the river is,
there is a current,
a movement,
a flow.

And do you
not feel
this current
when you walk
in the river –
you may not
see the direction
of the water
moving on
the surface,
but a current
runs deep,
there is a
direction,
a movement,
a flow.

And does not
this current
pull along
whatever has entered
the water,
the flow,
yes the physical properties
of the earth,
the laws of nature,
can explain
how a river flows,
but is there not
a mystical pull,
a mesmerizing draw
to the sound,
the movement,
the feel,
as you dip
your hand
in the water
to experience
the current,
the flow?

And yes,
you can experience
the current
of a river
by paddling a canoe
or kayak
through waters
that move,
that flow –
and do you
not feel as one
with the water
if you are able
to navigate well –
and not
bump into rocks
or to paddle
against the current –
do you not
feel and sense
when you are
in the flow?

Will the flow
not carry you along
if you allow yourself
to be guided –
once you are
“In the flow”
do you not need
to work so hard?

Is there not
a flow,
a current,
a movement
of least resistance
when you experience
the flow,
the “sweet spot”,
when everything
comes together
and unfolds
with perfect timing –
when a task
feels easy,
when you are not
fighting to move
upstream –
would you not
prefer to be
moving with
the flow?

Are there not
obstacles or bumps
along the way
that give you clues,
that allow you
to make adjustments,
so you may navigate
a smoother route
to take?

A task may
be daunting,
but are you not
able to accomplish
what you thought
was insurmountable –
when you put
yourself in
the Flow of Love
and allow yourself
to be guided
with love and support
along the way?

Ask for help.
Step into the Flow.
As you go
with the current,
the movement
of the Flow of Love –
can you let
it unfold
in front of you?

There is much
to experience
in life –
and like the river,
there will be obstacles
that you encounter
along the way –
but as you let
the Flow of Love
be your guide,
might you experience
a smoother ride?

Let go.
Step into the Flow.
Let Love surround you
as you experience
the movement,
the current,
the Flow of Love
That You Are.
Be One with Love
and Flow.

Rhythm of Love

IMG_4841

4/14/17

Expand.
Contract.

This is the
rhythm
you experience
in this world,
your lungs expand
to bring in air
then contract
to release –
and does the
heart not beat
to this rhythm –
expand,
contract.

This rhythm
that beats
and breathes
life into you –
are you not
used to this
rhythm,
this movement
of expanding
and contracting –
is the body
not an amazing
instrument
that plays the
beat of life?

In the duality
of this world
what expands
can contract,
but is not
your soul,
your consciousness,
able to expand
and evolve?

Yes your body
beats with
the incredible
rhythm of life
so you may
experience
the ebb and flow,
so you may expand
and contract –
as you experience
the beauty
and the challenges
of this world.

But your soul
knows no contraction –
are you not
programmed to expand?
Your human mind
can only touch
the edges of
this awareness,
but is there
not a knowing
in your heart?

Yes the heart
that pumps,
that beats to
a rhythm,
that brings
life to the body –
is there not also
a Force of Life
that breathes
life into You –
that only knows
expansion –
is there no room
for contraction
when You Are
Limitless?

There is the
Rhythm of Love
that beats
within your soul –
is this not
the vibration
that you listen for,
that you feel
within your Be-ing –
it may spiral
as it moves,
but this is not
contraction –
are you not
ever expanding,
ever evolving
as your soul
grows?

Feel the beat
of your heart,
knowing there
is more that
beats within You –
may you dance
with the beat,
the Rhythm of Love.

You Are . . .

You Are Loved.

Do not these
three words
with no strings attached,
with no conditions
to be met,
freely given
and always there
from God,
Source,
Divine,
The All That Is
that is Everywhere –
do these seemingly
simple words
not carry
a vibration
that you resonate with –
and when you hear them,
when you feel them,
you are immediately
lifted up?

You Are Loved.

And do you
not let out a sigh,
as you sit
in this energy,
do you not
feel relieved –
when Love is present,
is the vibration
of Love
not felt with every
cell of your
Be-ing?

Is this not
a shared and
connected feeling –
that all individuals
wish to feel –
from hearts
that are open
to some that
are closed –
the Vibration of Love
will find its way
to send the message –
You Are Loved.

Is there not
a stirring
that happens
when Love
resonates
with Love?

For as you
wish and seek
to hear,
to know
that always,
always,
You Are Loved –
how can you
not feel this,
when the vibrations
match –
as You Are Love?

As you are
an expression
of All That Is –
can you be
a conduit,
sending the message on,
the message
you receive,
the message
that is for All –
that You,
that All
are so very Loved?

And as
You Are Love,
no matter what
the differences are
in thoughts
or beliefs
or the stories
you share
in this Experience of Life –
can you find
one beautiful,
golden thread
that connects You
to everyone else,
who also are
so very Loved –
who also
Are Love, too?

Might you turn
up your Light –
to be a loving
light that shines,
for All to know,
and to remember
that They Are
So Very Loved?

You Are Loved.
You resonate with
these simple words
that ignite in you
the Remembrance of
Who You Are –
that You Are Love,
yes, you hear this Truth,
you feel it within –
but do you not sometimes
find it hard to accept?

Accept your Truth.
Step into your Power.
You Are Loved
as You Are Love.
And what to do
with the Love
That You Are?

Be That.
Be You.
Be Love.

Grow With Love

treeonrock

4/12/17

A tree stands
upon a rock,
barely dirt enough
to take hold,
but it is enough
for the tree
to grow –
reminding you
no matter what
or where you are –
grow where
you are planted.

Some plants
need little moisture,
some plants
grow best
in water,
adaptivity
may take
some time –
grow where
you are planted.

If a plant
cannot find
the sun,
does its
stem not
bend and reach
so growing buds
receive what
they need
to burst into bloom –
does not the
determined plant
remind you to –
grow where
you are planted.

And if you
need a change,
you are more resilient
than you may know,
can you not transplant
things that grow –
have you not
lovingly moved plants
from the dirt,
to plant again
in another place,
does not the plant
thrive and grow –
grow where
you are planted.

May you lovingly
seek what
what helps you
to grow,
to find the light
you need,
what nurtures
your soul –
no matter where
you are
or the situation
you are in –
with Love
you cannot help
but continue
to grow –
grow where
you are planted.

Grow.
Adapt.
Change.
Thrive.
Flourish.

Beautiful,
You Are
Love.

Room for Love

20170411 XPicture

4/11/17

Step aside.
Make room.
Surrender.

If you are
grappling with
an issue,
tension mounts,
and you feel tight,
may you loosen
up your grip,
let go –
slip into
the energy of surrender.

When you realize
you do not have
all of the
answers you
think you need,
is there not help,
Divine Guidance?
Let go –
slip into
the energy of surrender.

Letting go
is not giving up,
but it may be
giving to –
do you not
nod your head
and acknowledge,
there is something
greater than you –
can you feel
the Love
that steps in,
when you step aside
and make room
for the loving energy
that flows –
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender?

May you feel
some relief
that you are not
in this alone?
You may think
you have control,
that it is all
up to you –
does that thinking
not back you up
against a wall –
do you not need
space to breathe,
and to Be?

Is there not
more room
to breathe,
to work things out
more efficiently,
when you partner
with the Love,
the guidance,
the co-creation –
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender?

Step aside.
Make room.
Surrender.

As you open
up this space –
knowing it is
not all up
to you –
there is intelligence
in the Love
that flows –
do things not
fit together
and work out
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender?

As you make room
for Love,
is not Love
making room
for You –
to see the Whole,
to be in the
Flow of Love
that smoothes
out the path
in front of you –
you need not fight
to make things fit –
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender.

Work with Love.
Flow with Love.
Make room for Love.

Let Love.
Be Love.
Surrender.

Connect With Love

20170410 XPicture

4/10/16

What connects you
to more than you –
to the greater aspect
of You,
that is connected
to All That Is?

You may stand
with your arms
out wide
to soak up
the light of a
moon beam,
so bright,
that it casts shadows
in the darkest night –
are you not
connected now?

You may turn
your face up
to the warm
spring sun
and sense
the turn
toward spring,
bringing hope
and light
as you bask
in the warmth
of the sun’s
healing rays –
are you not
connected now?

You may smile back
at a child’s
smiling face –
a face open
and free
with no walls
in between –
does not a
simple smile
radiate an
open heart –
are you not
connected now?

There are moments
in your day,
when you take
time to pause –
you catch a glimpse
or share a moment,
when you discover,
as you sense
these connections,
as do they not
feel so good –
are you not
always connected
to Love?

When you feel alone
or when you
feel small,
you have forgotten
that You Are
always connected
to All That Is.

You Are
the moon,
that brightens
the night.
You Are
the sun,
that warms
your face.
You Are
the Love
looking back
at you –
do you see
you are
connected Now?

As You Are
an aspect
of All That Is –
are you not
always connected
to Love?

There is no more
that you need do.
Connect with You.
Connect with All.
Connect with Love.

Words of Love

heartwords

4/09/17

Words.

You use words
to convey
meaning,
thought,
and when words
are put together
in a beautiful,
loving way,
might they
express emotion,
emit a feeling
that goes beyond
a jumble of
words fitting together
on a page.

And do you
not use the expression,
“there are no words”
when the mere word
cannot stand up
to the emotion,
the vision,
the feeling,
that you experience
within your heart?

But you will
always go back
to words –
for as Love Is
expressed
in an infinite
number of ways –
is there not
a pull
to describe
the Language of Love?

There has been
a never-ending
number of words
that have been written
to define
to convey,
to express
what Love Is –
and will there
not be an unlimited
number more?

And do you
not try to
“put into words”
how a song
“strikes a chord”
and resonates with you –
do you not use words
to describe a
painting
that is truly
beyond words,
but are you
not compelled
to use words
to share
that experience,
the depths of feeling
that it brings –
do you not sometimes
think a feeling
has not happened
until you share it
with words?

Is not the
Language of Love,
in whatever form
it takes,
is it not
meant to be shared,
is there not
a pull to describe,
what is indescribable –
for how can words
convey the magic,
the beauty,
the experience
of Love?

But as words
are more than
words written on
a page –
are not words
another gateway
to your soul?

Do you not
first need to feel,
to go within,
to free your mind –
are not words
another means,
another way
to experience
and Be –
using the
Language of Love
to express what
Love Is?

There have been
many words written
and there will be
many, many more –
if words are a
way to share
the Love of
All That Is –
Be loving
with your words –
let words express
the Language of Love.

Write Love.
Express Love.
Share Love.
Be Love.

May these
Words of Love
remind You that
You Are Loved.

Unstoppable

Persevere.

There are times
when challenges,
obstacles,
appear in your path,
seemingly blocking
the trail that
you are on.

Does this not
make you look up
from your walk
along a path
you know well,
that you are familiar with,
one that does not
require you
to pay attention
as you walk
along this journey?

Might you think
of an obstacle
in your way
as a setback,
an inconvenience,
might it throw you
into a state
of confusion
as now there
is something
in your way?

Persevere.
Does not an obstacle
in your path
make you re-think,
take a look around
to see what is
around you –
is there another
direction to take,
that will allow
you to continue
upon your journey –
even if it is
a different route
you take?

Do not challenges,
obstacles,
while at first
may seem daunting –
are they not
a way to get
your attention,
as are there
not times when
the path is
so familiar that
you could walk it
in your sleep?

Do you not persevere
when you are
drawn to the
path you travel,
but how can
you always know
how to proceed?

Do not what you perceive
as challenges,
obstacles –
do they not
give you the opportunity
to try something new,
to flex the muscle
you are working,
to grow as you use
your Strength and Courage
to persevere?

Can you look at
challenges,
obstacles,
with Gratitude in
your heart –
are opportunities
not sometimes hidden
in experiences
you cannot comprehend,
until you persevere
and look back
at where you
came from –
is there not learning
in each experience,
even if you
would not choose
the challenge,
the obstacle –
those times
that encourage you
to press on in
a different way?

Do you not
have all the
qualities you need
to persevere,
to carry on –
to keep moving
along your path,
with Gratitude
in your heart,
with Strength and Courage
at your core?

And with Love’s
Guiding Light –
may you continue
on your way –
letting each step
you take
be lifted up
with Love.

Persevere
with Strength,
with Courage,
with Gratitude.

With Love
You Are
unstoppable.

Carry on,
with Love,
carry on.
