Restoration

When you wash
and wax a car,
do you not clean it
to take off the grime,
when wax applied
and then removed,
are you not restoring
its original shine,
no matter what
mud puddles
you may drive through,
can you not be restored
to the original You?

Yes, there is maintenance
as you take care
of you,
feeding,
clothing,
safety is important, too,
you shower or bathe
to wash the body clean,
what spiritual tools
might help to restore
your bright sheen,
your soul is always
shiny and new,
when you clean off
life’s dust,
does not your Essence
come shining through?

Make spiritual practice
a part of your day,
say hello to You –
in the silence
or throughout your day,
set a timer
or reminder
to help you see,
you and your soul
are in this together,
bound inextricably –
when you need to
rejuvenate,
restore,
ask your soul
to shine brightly
evermore –
clear a path,
make a bridge,
You Are There –
ready to shine
Love’s glowing Light
Everywhere.

Your soul
is an eternal Light
that shines.
Clear it off,
turn it up,
shine your Light!

A Perfect Balance

There is a balance
on the shore,
where water meets land,
no less,
no more,
is there not a connection
between elements,
a place for experiencing
perfect balance?

Is this not why people
love the beach,
to stand on sand
and see water’s reach,
the rhythmic waves
always coming home,
the interchange
between sand
and foam,
each smoothing out
where the other
has gone –
is this not where
perfect balance
comes from?

When you get out
of tune,
feel out of sync,
find where your
peaceful state
exists,
be it a wave
that returns to shore,
a short summer rain,
then sun’s warming
glow,
the twilight time
when night greets
the day,
let nature show
you a thousand
ways –
to return
to perfect balance,
to Home.

Rhythm

Movement.
Stillness.
Is there not a rhythm
when you move,
then pause,
step forward,
reflect.

There is an
ebb and flow
of
human and soul,
the yin and yang,
in the Balance of Life.

And beyond duality,
that helps you
to see,
to experience,
to reflect
on All That You
can Be –
There Is Love,
with its rhythm,
its beat,
no opposite
to find
only Love
that you can see
and feel
and sense
and
Is That Not You –
always,
always –
Always Love.

Lost and Found

When you are
lost in thought,
can you be found
with Love?

The mind loves to
go on a journey,
filling in with
stories,
speculation,
what ifs,
is it no wonder
you may feel lost
at times,
what do you do
when you realize
you are adrift –
when you need to
remember Who You Are,
amidst daily experiences
or strife,
keep in mind (smile)
You Are You
at your heart,
your core –
even as you
walk through
this life.

Any time you need
to feel centered,
to remember the
Love That Is You –
let the thoughts go,
to carry on without you,
and step into this
present moment
That Is You.

And now does not Love
fill all of the spaces,
that your thoughts
tried to stuff
with this or that,
when you keep Love
flowing through you,
the vessel,
does not this moment
help find where
you are at?

You find You
in the Love
that shows you,
You Are Love,
compete
and fully Whole,
your thoughts may
make you think,
you have lost
your way,
but Love always
brings you back
Home.

Aware

Awareness.

With intention,
are you not able
to shift your
awareness,
like perspective,
can you not take
an elevator
up or down
to see more,
in the three dimensional
world,
there are layers
and many floors,
do you not see
a different scene
be it at street level
or on a higher floor?

Now shift your perspective,
your awareness,
beyond the world
that you live in,
you need not travel,
you do not leave,
you remain with the
roots that you stand in,
the expanded You
is always Here,
it is not a “place”
you need to go,
it is your awareness
that makes the shift,
to welcome all of You
Home.

You may need practice,
some quiet at first,
to explore All That
You Are,
as you have experiences
in life,
does not your awareness
explore
what you thought
was from afar,
but Who You Are
encompasses more
that your view
from the street –
You Are the city,
You Are the earth,
You Are the stars above
that you see.

Expand your awareness,
so you may sense
Who You Are,
the Loving Force
that you seek,
resides in you,
it is not apart,
you need not leave
you behind,
when you expand,
do you not know –
Love is always
Here with You,
You Are One
with the Loving Whole.

Expand with Love,
become aware
that Love Is You –
shift your awareness,
to see the Truth,
Love Is the
Authentic You.

Wholly Love

20180722 XPicture

Be a part
or Be the Whole,
does your heart
not bridge
them both,
an individual aspect
of the Loving One –
yes, you can express
your own opinion,
but even as you speak
with your own voice,
is there not always
a loving choice,
that you can choose
to speak about?

What do you choose
to Be today,
for you can choose
what role you may play,
a multitude of expressions
are at your fingertips,
do not emotions
sometimes feel limitless,
but be they high
or be they low,
or wherever your
experiences go,
do they all not
ultimately
help you Be with Love?

Be a part
or Be the Whole,
does not Be-ing Love
help you to know,
Love Is You,
Love Is We,
even when you feel
only “me”,
with Love you
cannot help
but Be –
Wholly,
Holy,
Love.

Remember

20180719 XPicture

Remember
so you may know,
know so you may
remember.

Precious memories
are available
in your mind,
in pictures taken,
in keepsakes treasured,
do they not help you
to remember,
you from before,
loved ones that
you miss,
friends from afar –
in the physical world,
do not things that
you touch,
when they appear
to be not here,
do you not miss them
oh so much?

But when you shift
to your heart,
is the bond not
still as strong,
yes, you miss close
physical hugs,
when you think someone
has “gone”,
the Love That Is You
does not fade as
time goes on,
indeed as Love Is
timeless,
is it not Love
that carries on?

Yes, you can re-member
what you think
you have lost –
but is it not
knowing,
that reminds you,
You Are Everywhere
at once?
Far beyond your
physical body,
is You always
with Love,
you are always together
with those you wish
to dream of.

Remember
so you may know,
know so you may
remember.
You Are part
of the loving Whole –
and with Eternal Love,
always together.

Get Lost

Lose yourself.

Let time disappear
from your internal clock,
when you are immersed
in what you Love,
do not day-to-day thoughts
also disappear,
does not the losing
of one’s self
not help the
Authentic You
appear?

And you have not
really “lost”
a thing,
is it not that
your True Self
can be found,
might you enjoy
this game of
hide and seek,
when you can delight
in the discovery of –
losing your self
to find your
Essence of Love?

So think not of
stripping away,
though parts of you
may take a break –
are you not building
your creative muscle,
when Authentic You
comes out to play?
Let Love give you
the feedback,
letting you know you are
in the flow,
when you turn your
thinking off,
surrender to it
and let go.

Lose yourself,
though you are
never lost in
any way,
we use this familiar phrase
to help you unhook
from what you think
“should” be –
if clocks had no numbers,
if a day had no
start or end,
if you left the linear behind,
what might you play,
where would you
jump in?

Lose yourself,
to find the
Authentic You –
full of Joy,
embracing Peace,
sharing your Love
with Gratitude.

Walking With Love

20180711 XPicture

7/11/18

Walk your path,
though you never walk
it alone,
though others may see
different scenery,
yes, it is true,
are you not all
walking each other
Home?
You learn,
you cry,
you dance,
you laugh,
but in the end
do you not see –
is it not all about
the Love within,
turning up your Light
to shine brightly?

Your Path of Love
may bring you
different things
so you may choose,
to experience
a range of emotions,
to see what comes up
to be known,
and as you move deeper,
honoring every feeling
that you may have,
might the simplest
and most powerful choice,
be for You to extend
Love to you?

Can you take the Love
That You Are
and envelop you
in this Love now,
your heart is the bridge
that lets your soul
speak lovingly to you,
when you feel separate,
when you need comfort,
Love is only an intention
away –
open your heart
to the endless Pool
of Love,
that is with you
every day.

Walk your path –
and know that Love
walks with you.
Find Peace in knowing
Love Is Here,
Everywhere You Are,
so Love Is, too.

Sharing the Road

20180707 XPicture

7/07/18

There is a path
you can follow,
do not bread crumbs
lead the way,
a clue here,
a nudge there,
are you not guided
day by day –
others may experience
similar travels,
do you not meet them
on this road,
some will stay,
others branch off,
depending upon
their story told.

Everyone is on a journey,
each one unique
and yet the same,
when you feel awareness
growing,
do you not attract others
who feel the same,
no matter – same or different,
does not each journey
help you see the Love
in You
and when you can look
even deeper,
is not another
this Love, too?

Sometimes the road
may look different,
you may travel in
many ways,
you may walk,
or drive,
or fly,
depending on the
type of day,
be respectful of
another,
who may be sharing
a similar road –
one might take a
different route,
following their own map
as it unfolds.

Share the road.
Help another.
Send Love to those
you meet along
the way.
It is the journey,
not the destination –
how will you experience
Love today?
