Opening

A picture is worth
a thousand words.

And do you not say
this phrase,
to acknowledge when you
feel or sense
what is
“out” of your mind,
are you not able
to take in
beauty that you see
and feel it beyond
what you can describe?

Sometimes words are for
labeling,
to put things in a box,
but do you not at times
have a vision
that is beyond words –
might you set your
intentions
and paint pictures in
your mind,
letting your soul
lead the way,
leaving the “how tos”
far behind?

Are not dreams
about imagining,
what is beyond
your “to-do” list,
do you not create
when you are not
limited
by lines on a page,
might you let your
imagination run free
to go and explore –
beginning to picture
the “what-ifs”
as a way to
open doors,
why not let your heart
be the key
to unlock
what you are
looking for?

Imagine.
Create.
Have fun as
you explore.
Feel it.
Sense it.
Let Love
open all doors.

Always Love

And does not the answer
to every question,
always bring you back
to Love?

You may circle wide
when you try to find it,
you may not understand
all paths you are on,
it may be hard
to make sense
of what does not –
but is not the answer,
Love?

It can be hard
to find Love in
corners
that do not have
enough Light,
but does not shining
ever brighter,
give you a chance
to add more Light?

You have choices,
you have reasons,
to choose whatever
you wish to choose,
in your life
there are a multitude
of scenarios,
that present to you –
a wave of sadness,
jumping for Joy,
no matter how the story
unfolds,
can you find
at your center,
where the choice
is always Love?

When you question,
you are learning,
you are searching out
Truth –
you can only ask
questions
based on what you
think you know
and makes sense
to you,
keep searching,
keep wondering,
at the Wonder of it
All –
and when you need
to rest,
know that All
is always Love.

Inspired

Be inspired.
Fast or slow,
even if you do
not know
which way
to go,
is there not inspiration
in the stillness
of your thoughts?

Whether you stay on
your course,
or take a turn,
there is so much
you may learn,
but no matter the
experience,
can you not find
the Love within,
can you give yourself
a pass,
from the “shoulds”
that lurk within,
can you let Love
be your guide,
with inspiration
by your side?

When you are still,
can you not feel
the tug,
of what is calling
to your soul,
can you go along,
heed the nudge,
letting inspiration
begin to flow,
yes, inspiration
can give direction,
but it is not the destination
that is the goal –
does inspiration
not provide a map
for you to journey
and explore,
with Love as your
Guiding Light,
what inspires
and feeds your soul?

Be inspired.
Be You.
Be the amazing
Light you shine.
Whether moving
or in one place,
Be inspired
by Love’s tender,
loving Grace.

Walking With Love

6/07/18

When you choose
a path of
least resistance,
is it not a smoother
ride,
is not going down
a hill,
often easier than
uphill to climb,
but even if there
are obstacles,
do you not learn
from the choices
you make,
is it not always interesting
to see which road
to take?

“Going with the flow,”
yes, it is easier said
than done,
though the flow
is always with you,
there are many things
that can slow you
down,
might you listen very closely
to what your still, small voice
is trying to say,
when you broaden your
perspective,
might you find
an easier route,
a different way?

There is no need to focus
on what feels easy
or what feels hard,
sometimes the hardest things
are what eventually
set you free –
there is a Higher Power
that always flows,
is always within you,
might you walk this path
together,
on this Journey
back to You?

Let Love flow
through you,
let Love give
you the Strength
to Trust.
Let Love walk
with You,
as you walk
every path
with Love.

Beyond Belief

20180602 XPicture

What is beyond belief?

If you think that what
you believe,
is set in stone,
is all there is,
would not anything
beyond belief,
be hard to fathom,
to understand?

And yes, there are other
beliefs
that may exist
in between yours,
that may stretch farther
or not far enough –
where do you draw
the proverbial line
on what you believe
to be “real” or true?

But do you not know
(and yes, you might believe),
that there are Truths
that do exist –
is not this knowing,
a part of You
that exists
beyond your beliefs?

Is there not Joy
when miracles occur,
when you get glimpses
that there is more
than this world,
and might the greatest
miracle
be that You Are That –
believing here
as you are knowing there?

Might what you think
is beyond belief,
be the space where
you Know,
that You Are –
for when you combine
what is Here,
what is There –
is that not when
you know,
You Are Everywhere?

Believe Love.
Know Love.
And beyond all else –
there is always,
always Love.
If the Miracle of Love
is beyond belief –
know your heart,
meet Love there –
Love Is
Everywhere.

No Place Like Home

From the human perspective
you may feel at times
that you have lost your way,
it may be scary
when the road begins
to curve,
when you cannot see
what is coming next,
but can you follow
your own pathway,
seeing it as your
yellow-brick road –
full of adventure,
sometimes challenges,
but always leading you
back Home?

Do not situations happen
so that your soul
can choose and grow,
there are no “right” or
“wrong” answers,
only the ones you
already know,
your body lets you know
what does not set well
deep inside –
have Faith and Trust
that your soul and body,
work together beautifully,
side by side.

Be gentle,
be compassionate,
not only with others,
but also with you,
everyone has a perspective
to help them grow
as you do, too –
can you find Gratitude
from the learning,
in whatever form it takes,
from the perspective
of the soul,
can you not see
the bigger picture
that you have made?

Keep traveling on
your yellow-brick road,
but it is not
Emerald City you seek.
Every step,
every encounter,
is to remind you,
that no matter where
you roam –
You Are Love
and so very Loved.
You Are
(and there is no place like)
Home.

The Colors of Love

20180527 XPicture

5/27/18

The bright blue sky
is big enough
for the sun,
as well as for
the clouds
that fill up,
so that rain
can come falling down,
is there not a cycle
to releasing
what builds up
to then let go,
are not drops of rain,
part of the cycle, too,
and when the sun
comes out,
might a rainbow
link the two?

The bright blue sky
is always there
behind the clouds,
and when nighttime
comes,
is sky not a palette
for the stars?

Is not the space
you call a sky
always there
through day or night,
much like You,
your Soul,
your Essence,
always You
in the dark or Light –
can you not fill
your sky
with the brightest
of Lights,
even as sometimes
there are clouds,
that filter the Light,
but is not the sky
so beautiful
before and after
a storm,
when the air is crisp
and clear,
when sometimes a
rainbow forms?

Are not the colors
of a rainbow
always there,
even if you cannot see,
does it not sometimes
take rain
to bring them out,
to see all of their
beauty,
as Love is your essence,
are not these colors
always within You –
as you know Light
as you know rain,
does not Love know
what to do –
move with the cycles
that beat with the
Rhythm of Life.
You Are sun.
You Are the stars.
You Are morning,
You Are night.

The bright beautiful
Sky of Love
is the canvas
for You to Be.
Be Light.
Be Love.
Be every color.
Be Free.

A Miracle of Flight

20180525 XPicture

5/25/18

When you feel heavy,
tethered to the ground,
when the gravity
of the earth
weighs you down,
how light must a
butterfly be,
to flit and fly
almost joyfully,
does butterfly
not draw your
eyes near,
to join in its dance
here and there,
through the air?

And Butterfly has
a purpose
as it flies,
from flower to flower,
though its path
may seem erratic
to passersby,
but might its purpose
also be,
to remind you of
what can be –
to be Light,
to be free,
like Butterfly?

Yes, Butterfly has a
story to be told,
of change,
of transformation
to behold,
but does not Butterfly’s dance
in the flowers
give you the chance,
to soar on wings,
to fly with Joy,
to feel free?

Let the miracle
of Butterfly
help you to see,
who you think
is gone,
is in another phase
of their life
you may not see,
but when Butterfly appears,
is it not because
they are near,
wishing to remind you
All Is Well
as they fly free?

Does Butterfly
not remind you
that you are, too,
as free as Butterfly
appears to you –
though you feel
that you are here,
with your loved one
over there –
might Butterfly remind you
that All exist
in The Everywhere?

As caterpillar may not know,
that butterfly wings
are what will grow –
have Faith,
let Love
show you the
Miracle of Flight,
let Butterfly
turn up your Light.
Fly Free,
with Love,
fly free.

Strength and Courage

20180524 XPicture

5/24/28

Be Strength when someone
needs it,
though are you not showing
them so they
may see,
they have all the Strength
they need within them,
are they not Strength
when they can Be –
reminded of what
flows within,
does Love not come
with all you “need” –
Strength and Courage,
Grace and Gratitude,
will these not lift you
and set you free?

You need not walk
in another’s shoes
to sense or feel
when a Light grows
dim,
you need not fix
or erase what they
are walking through
on this path of theirs –
might you turn
up your Light,
which will in turn
help Light their way,
will the Light of Love
not remind them,
that Strength and Courage
is innately with them
each and every day?

Hold the space
for Love,
let another see
your Light,
you can spark
the Light of Love
that All possess,
even in times
of dimming Light –
see the Strength
that may be hiding
beneath a story
that is hard to bear –
There Is Courage,
There Is Gratitude,
and in Grace
is Love not always
there?

Be a model,
light the way –
let another see
what They Are, too.
Strength and Courage,
Grace and Gratitude –
You Are Love
and Love Is You.

Everywhere

Affirmation.

Do not affirmations
validate what is
already in your
heart,
does not a name
spoken out loud
validate that they
were here,
but in the realm
of Everywhere,
do you not sense
more than a name –
do not connections
of the heart,
tell you who is
with you
and always near?

Yes, validate the story
that has brought
your loved one
to you here,
but as Love Is
Everlasting,
do you not feel
the bond
as they draw near,
you may need to
change your perspective,
as your relationship
appears to change,
but as the story
drops away,
is it not the Love
that stays the same?

You may wish for
affirmation,
validation
of what you know –
there is no need to
let another tell you,
what your heart is able
to show,
the Gifts of Love
that you receive
are affirmations
of what is always
in your heart –
you are connected,
always together,
side by side
and never apart.

You may ask Love,
“Are you here?
Why do I feel you
over there?”
Meet Love where
Love resides –
in your heart
and Everywhere.
