One for All

20170502 XPicture

5/02/17

“All for one
and one for all.”

And does this phrase
not bring together
the concept
of one and all
working together
in harmony –
even as the words
one and all
are often put
at odds with
each other?

Does it not
depend where
the one begins?

If the “one”
is at the
individual level –
does that not
foster a system
that invites separation –
that each “one”
is different,
standing alone
by itself,
seeing other “ones”,
but not feeling
connected?

Is that not why
when feeling separated,
do many “ones”
not seek to find others
just like themselves –
which can often
bring more
separation,
more polarization
with the bigger
groups of “ones?”

Now think of
“one” as One –
One Love,
the Love of
All That Is –
God,
Source,
Divine –
and does not
One Love
encompass All –
is this not
a blanket that
is large enough
to cover All,
to comfort All,
as All vibrates
with this Love –
only with a
unique filter
that you put on
to experience All
in this human world?

Have you not had
many experiences
with what it feels like
to work together –
be it on a team,
at school,
at work,
in a community,
with family,
or a group of friends
working on a project –
a common goal
that fosters teamwork
to experience
the concept
of all for one
and one for all?

What if All
had a common goal
to reach for –
to shine more brightly,
to work together,
to Be,
to Know
Love?

And would this
Expression of Love
not look different
when expressed by All –
but would you not each
feel the Love,
marveling in
each unique
Expression of Joy
that comes with Love –
what if Love
were the common goal
that unites the
All of One –
would not the
expression then be:
One for All
and All for One?

Are not All
and One
the same
when Love Is
All There Is?

Express your uniqueness.
Be one that is
part of the all.
You are surrounded
by teammates –
might you express yourself
and be a part
of this Team of Love?

Be One for All.
Be All for One.
Be Love.
Believe Love.
Believe You
Are One Love.

All of You
Are Love.
All
One
Love.

If Love . . .

Hug yourself.
Give yourself
a pat onĀ 
the back.

Yes, you may think
there is always
something more
that you can do –
that should be done,
do you not often
have the mindset –
“if this gets done”
or “if I do that” –
do these “if-thens”
not take you
out of the
moment of Now
and put you in
your thinking mind –
delaying what is
important
and pushing you
into a different time –
is it not time
to be thankful,
to be grateful
for You –
hug yourself.

Do you not feel
self-conscious
hearing these words –
is it not better
to give out hugs?
But as you are
becoming more
conscious,
more aware
of the Power of Love –
is it not overdue
to be conscious
of the Self –
if you see the
Love in You,
can you not find
Love Everywhere?
Is that not an
“if-then” statement
that can heal
the World?
Hug yourself.

And is not
a pat on the back,
more than a symbol
of a job well done –
is it not
an acknowledgment
that you are here –
is it not a symbol –
“I see You” –
is it not a
reassurance that
All Is Well?
Right Now.
This moment –
give yourself
a pat on the back
and hug yourself.

Can you not
help but smile
at the simplicity
of these words?
You may think
of them as silly –
will you not
do this alone?
But if others
saw the Truth
that each of you
wish to feel –
is it not
when you love yourself,
that you can
truly give Love
to others?
If you can trust
the perfection
of Love in You –
could you not see
that Love in others, too?
Hug yourself.

If You Are Love
is not everyone?

You Are.
They Are.
All Are
One.
Love.
Hug.
Smile.

So Very Loved

It is human nature
to want to explain,
to share,
to want someone
to hear your story,
what you have
been going through,
to give justifications,
to provide proof,
to defend
what you think
is “right.”

And is this not
a perfect time
to look at
what the underlying
emotions are –
are emotions
not an expression
of what wishes
to come up –
to be looked at,
to be aware of,
to be healed?

Do you not
place a value
on who is right,
or who is wrong,
on what is the best way
to move forward,
are there not
a multitude
of perspectives
with the many stories
you experience
in this
School of Life?

But what if you
change your perspective
and no longer look
in terms of
right or wrong,
or feel the need
to justify,
to defend
a position in your story –
what if you
are already so valued,
that you do not
need to prove
a single thing –
what if you
already are
so very, very loved?

It is human nature
to want to explain,
to be assured
that you are “right” –
but are you not
looking for
something greater,
something better
than justification –
are you not
wanting to be assured
that you are
so very, very loved?

These experiences
you go through,
through the stories
that are told,
can you step aside
to look at
what drives them –
are there emotions
that come up
to be heard,
to be felt,
to be healed?

Does Love not heal
when you hand
over your pain,
is not struggle
an opportunity
to take notice of
what is bubbling up
to be loved –
what if all of you
already knew
that you are
so very, very loved?

So tell your stories,
but you listen as well –
what is the message,
what does your story
tell You?
Might you fast forward
through it,
you know how it ends –
You Are
always,
so very
Loved.

Reset With Love

Button

4/23/17

Reset.
Recenter.
Rebalance.

Yes, there are times
when you may feel
off-balance,
off-kilter,
when your internal
monitor
senses that
you are out
of balance –
do you not
wish to find
the reset button
to push?

Yes, there are
many buttons
that can be
pushed or pulled –
when life
brings you lessons
that let you
notice your reactions –
is there not learning,
is there not growing,
are there not opportunities
to find the button
that lets you reset,
let go,
so that you may
get back to
the flow?

Is the flow
not smooth –
it does not
feel rough,
is there not
a grace,
an ease,
that unfolds
before you –
does flow not
happen when
you do not need
to push or pull?

Reset.
Recenter.
Rebalance.

What is your
center of Be-ing?
You may know
when you feel “off” –
but what lets
you know when
you are where
you wish to be?

Does the flow
not happen
when Love is
in control?

Yes, the human
side of you
wishes to control
many outcomes,
having expectations –
it can be exhausting
as you attach yourself
to what “should” happen,
or where you think
things “should” be.

But is there not
a reset button
always ready,
always there –
can you not
always return
to center,
to the place
where there is Peace –
is that not
when you let go
and hand it over
to Love?

Will you not find
the answers
when you
give yourself room –
when you let yourself
breathe in
the flow,
the grace,
of Love?

When you are in
the push and pull
of Life
and all of its details,
can you bring
yourself back
to your
Place of Peace?

Find your center.
Release control.
Your next steps
will be apparent,
when you let go –
push your reset button
and let Love flow.

There is Love.
There is the Center.
There You Are.
With Love
You Are
and There Is Peace.

Unite With Love

IMG_4938

4/22/17

There are many
ways to travel,
there are many
roads to take –
some may prefer
wings,
rail,
or wheels,
but as all
take you from
here to there –
are there not
new experiences
everywhere?

Everyone has a
unique Journey,
each with a
different path,
there are interests
that may unite you
with those
you may not
see “eye to eye”,
but as the heart
is the great uniter,
do you not all
have feelings, too?
Are there not
common themes –
be it love or grief
that draws them
closer to you?

You do not have
to agree on all,
you may travel a
different route –
but is there
not Unity
in the Love
that beats
and breathes Life
into you?

As Love Is
the Unifier,
that connects all
heart to heart –
you may disagree,
you may turn away
with the human aspect
of the day to day –
but when you connect
with the heart
no matter the story,
are you not All
Unified with Love?

There is a time
to open your ears
and listen to someone’s
story to be told,
but there is always time,
do you not have eternity –
to open your heart,
rising above what separates,
to the place
where One is All,
unified with
All That Is –
can you not always
Unite with Love?

Will you not find Peace,
can you not connect –
when you Unite with Love?

Together.
United.
All One
Love.

Shift With Love

IMG_4921

4/21/17

There is an opening
when you create space –
a shifting of energy,
when there is movement.
You may perceive
this shift
as closing a door,
but as energy
cannot disappear,
you cannot close
something off –
when you shift
with Love.

And in this opening,
is there not space
to breathe life into
what was standing still –
is not energy
always ready to create
something new,
when you give
it a chance –
when you shift
with Love?

Are there not opportunities
when you look
with new eyes,
when you are in
a transition,
is it not
the perfect time
to be open to
new possibilities –
change can feel
uncomfortable,
you may be treading
on new ground –
but can you have
faith in knowing,
that All Is Well,
can you embrace change –
when you shift
with Love?

When you turn
toward change,
you are not turning away,
your heart never forgets
when it has
opened with Love –
do you not carry
with You,
All That You Are –
is it not Love
that has brought you
where you are now –
will Love not
always be there –
when you shift
with Love?

You may pivot
in Life,
you may try
something new –
you may say goodbye
to the old,
but not to
the Love
that is always
within You –
there is always
an opening
for Love to
come through –
when you open
and shift
with Love.

 

Love Remains

IMG_4904

4/20/17

Love remains.

When you think
you have lost
something out of
your life –
you no longer
can see,
touch,
or smell
the objects
that took up space
in your physical world,
the things
that make up memories
of times gone by
with the ones
you love –
Love remains.

And out of
your sight
as if no longer here,
loved ones who
no longer share
your physical space –
you feel,
you sense
the loss
in the physical world,
but because you
cannot touch them –
are they no longer here?
Love remains.

Even as physical objects
move out of
your sight,
do you not hold
the memory
in your heart –
you need not
recreate what already
has been –
the Vibration of Love
will always beat
in your heart –
you cannot remove
the Love That
Always Is –
Love remains.

And as a loved one
is no longer here,
walking in this
physical world –
is there not a space
where the
Energy of Love
always resides –
even as your
five senses
may not verify –
can you not
feel them close,
as Love never dies?
Love remains.

And as All Is Love,
with no beginning
and with no end –
as the Soul of All
That Is –
is within,
you may have lost
someone out of
this life,
but they are
not lost,
their soul cannot die,
are you not
always together –
linked by the
Vibration of Love?
Love remains.

Your eyes
can only see
your limited physical view,
but you can sense
with your heart,
that vibrates with
the Rhythm of You –
as You Are Love –
are your Loved Ones
not always with You?
Love remains.

Trust That
Love Is
All Eternal,
Always Love.
Love Always
Remains.

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.

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.

Love Heals

Helping hands

4/03/17

Love heals.

As a childĀ 
when you had
a scrape –
did you not
want someone
to kiss it
to make it
feel better?
Love heals.

A bandaid
will help,
giving time
to heal,
to keep the hurt
covered –
but a bandaid
will only stay
on so long –
Love heals.

There are wounds
that are deep,
there are scabs
that get pulled off –
there is pain
that reminds you
there is more
to heal –
healing is coming,
it is happening
all the time –
Love heals.

You can treat
the scrape,
you can wash
it clean,
but healing happens
from the inside out.
Love is the healing balm
for your soul,
for your body –
do they not
work together
to bring through
this healing Love?
Love heals.

Each cell regenerates,
you are wired
to create.
As a child
did you not respond
to the kiss
on the “boo-boo” –
can you send Love
to every cell in
your body –
can you blow a kiss,
sending Love
to any hurt
that needs
some loving care –
can you hold
a wounded heart
and cradle it
with Love –
as You Are Love,
can you not release
the healing
Force of Love –
Love heals.

In this human world
you feel pain
and you feel hurt –
you have access
to the greatest medicine
that can comfort,
that can heal –
it is a gift
you give to others –
also give it
to yourself –
Love heals.

See what is hurting,
kiss it to show
that you are there –
now apply Love
in liberal doses –
you cannot give
or take too much –
it is what every heart
is looking for –
Love heals.

Apply Love.
Spread Love.
Give Love.
Receive Love.

Comforting,
regenerating,
healing
Love.
