Begin With Love

Do not wait
for circumstances
to be “right.”
Can you turn up
your Light
and initiate Love?

You see how Love
could help,
you wish to make
a change,
how to let Love
heal and soothe,
would not Love
bring Peace to
the world –
but does it not
begin with you,
yes, can you
initiate Love?

Is Love not a
grassroots cause,
does it not grow
from within
until it cannot
be contained –
Love is not something
you make another do –
does it not include All,
as Love flows from you –
as you initiate Love?

Can Love begin with
you?
Can you Be the
Presence of Love?
Can you turn off
judgements
of who deserves
Love,
as Love does not
pick and choose?

Do not wait
for the time
to be “right.”
Do not wait
for a change
to occur.
Be a Voice for Love,
can Love not
create change,
might you start
by initiating Love?

With Love
do you not
find Peace?
Can you Be Peace
where You Are?
As you
and you
and you
Are Love,
Are Peace –
is this not
how you
initiate Love?

Be the movement
for Love.
Let Love flow
from You.
Let Love guide you,
Love with show
you what to do –
begin with You
and initiate
Love.

Unwrapping Love

20171018 XPicture

10/18/17

Unwrap,
unfold
the story
that envelopes
you –
as you smooth
the paper out,
every crease,
each word,
has led you to
what you are
here to learn,
but can you remove
the identifying wrap,
that can act
like armor strong
and be vulnerable,
being open,
Be-ing Love?

Do you not wrap
yourself in fear
that you may “expose”
who you are,
does not that word
bring up the
false need
for safety
or defense,
does not vulnerability
bring up the image
of a need for protection,
but is not vulnerability
a shedding of what
you no longer “need?”

Is not your Shining Light
stronger than any
type of armor,
when you wrap yourself
so tightly
in whatever you think
is shielding you
from your fear,
your doubts,
yourself –
do you not see
your Strength,
your Courage,
when you unwrap,
unfold,
whatever you have
placed around you –
in your vulnerability,
do you not see –
you are always
surrounded by Love?

And by the
Grace of Love,
of All That Is –
can you let
that Love shine,
from your center,
from You –
no wrapping
can contain
the Love You Are
that burns within,
can it not burn off
any layer
that is dimming
your Bright Light?

Be open.
Be exposed
as the Shining Light
You Are.

You Are Light.
You Are Love.
Let It Shine.

Feeling Love

20171016 XPicture

10/16/17

As a human,
do not your emotions
guide you along
the road of Life –
do not emotions
bring to the surface
your reactions
and what you feel?

Yes, you have heard
“you need to feel
it to heal it,”
yes, emotions
your attention snag –
can you look at what
they wish to show you,
so you may accept
them all in Love?

It is human nature
to push the feelings,
the emotions
back where they “belong” –
do you not judge,
do you not think
that some emotions
should just be “gone?”
But are these
barometers
of your feelings –
not part of you
that wishes to be seen?

Is there not freedom,
is there not a releasing,
when you step into
Who You Are –
when you accept
every emotion,
every struggle,
or accomplishment?
Can you Love
and accept every feeling,
that comes up
for Love from you –
can you be Gratitude
and with Strength and Courage,
can you Love all
corners of You?

Do not fear
the intensity
that emotion
may wish to bring –
can you open
the window,
open the door
and invite
your feelings in?

What do they show you,
what do they teach you,
what other window
do they open wide –
as you let Love
transmute each feeling,
surrounding you
with Love and Light.

As the walls fall
down around you –
are you not free,
with no need to hide –
are you not a
perfect balance
with your soul
and your human side?

Hand in hand,
can you walk together –
are you not
the Perfect Team?

Love each feeling.
Love each emotion.
Love it All
to find Peace.

A Voice for Love

20171012 XPicture

10/12/17

Does not Truth
come bubbling up
to the surface,
often exposing
what was false –
sometimes it is
hard to look at what
comes up to heal.

It may take Courage
to speak your Truth,
it may take Strength,
to steady your voice,
but does not
the sound of silence,
one day begin
to roar?

In the dark,
you may back up
into corners
to feel safe –
but with the lights
turned up bright,
do you not see others
by your side –
let the Light
illuminate
a common cause,
no need to fight –
for by speaking Truth,
seeing Light expose
what has been hiding
in plain sight –
with open eyes
and open hearts,
can you shine
your Light
and let Love heal?

It may feel chaotic
when the lights
turn up,
exposing what is
hard to see,
but is it not Love
that gives Strength
to Truth,
giving Voice to the
Authentic Self –
does it not take Courage
to look in the mirror
and see what is reflected
back to You?

So use your Voice
to speak of Love.
Open your eyes
to look for Truth.
Do not be afraid
to peer into the
dark,
does darkness only exist
in the absence of Light?

Shine your Light
so All can see.
Expose the Truth
that rises up
to the Light.
Love Is the energy
that can transmute
All,
for is not All
looking for Love?

And as All Is One,
when you Love One,
do you not Love All?

Shine your Light.
Let Love Heal.

With Love,
always,
with Love.

A Place for Love

20171005 XPicture

10/05/17

Allow Love.

Do you not sense
the freedom,
the release,
the understanding,
when you
Allow Love?

Does Love not know
where to go,
what to heal,
when you allow space
to Allow Love
to Be?

Allow Love.

Is this not
a receiving breath
that you draw in
from within
your very core –
that you may have
noticed or not
before,
do you not have access
to All That Is,
that breathes this Life
into you,
when you surrender,
when you let go,
when you enter
a space
to Allow Love?

And in this allowance,
is there not a
question –
what would Love do?

And we wish to tell you,
there is no need
to think about
what Love would “do” –
as you Allow Love
to flow within you –
will you not be
in the space
of how would Love Be –
yes, then choose your actions
from this Place of Love,
this loving space,
as you make room
and Allow Love.

And you need
not think
that allowing Love
is not strong enough,
or active enough –
have you not experienced
what conscious thought
has created in
your world?

If you wish to change
the world,
does it not begin
with a thought –
might you choose Love,
does it not start,
when you Allow Love?

Allow.
Receive.
Be guided.
Be loving.
Be kind.

Make time,
make room.
Make a
Place for Love.

Waves of Love

20171004 Waves of Love

10/04/17

When looking through
the looking glass,
sometimes it is
too dark to see,
you may see that Love
is hard to find –
what is this place
you have stumbled upon?

When you look out
and see a reflection
of a world that
does not appear
to make sense –
as You Are a
co-creater of
All That Is –
can you step up,
might you volunteer,
to make waves
as a Wave of Love?

As All is energy
and like energy
attracts like energy,
be aware of what
you focus on –
does not every experience
give you the experience
to choose Love
again and again?

The ripple effect
is very strong,
it can move mountains,
it can change
the landscape –
you can make
waves that are
big or small –
size doesn’t matter,
when You Are
a Wave of Love.

But a Wave of Love
begins with you –
it is not a reaction
to what you fear,
any dark abyss
is devoid of Light –
can you turn up yours,
can you shine bright?

If the ripple effect
of hurt and pain
is in need of a
new movement
in order to change,
can Waves of Love
not be felt
in an instant,
when you focus
and keep your eye,
your attention
on Love?

As a Wave of Love
will you not attract
any resonant energy
that echoes with Love –
Love Is Here
in everything –
you may be distracted,
you may be in pain,
but do not
Ripples of Love
begin to make waves?

When looking through
the looking glass,
do you not see
sparks of Light –
invite them in,
find them in You,
turn up your Light,
send out your
Waves of Love.

Love heals
all that
comes up
to be seen,
to be felt,
to be healed.

Be Strength.
Be Courage.
Be part of
a new beginning.
Begin Now.
Begin with a
Wave of Love.

Circle of Love

20171003 XPicture

10/03/17

You need not
“fight” for Love,
has not enough
fighting gone on –
no more lines drawn
to divide,
can you stand
in the Circle of Love?

Why does it take
horrific events
to widen the circle
that you stand in,
so you may
find solace
in the common,
shared perspective,
agreeing on what is
a tragedy –
moving forward,
can you include All
in your Circle of Love?

You feel despair,
you wring your hands,
there are situations
you cannot foresee –
what can you “do”
to make things “right” –
might you begin
with You?

Can you move Love forward,
can you expand your circle,
sending Light to all
in the Circle of Love –
might someone see
a sliver of Light
through the darkness,
through the night –
yes, you can change
the laws you live by,
but is it not Love
that opens hearts –
can you keep expanding
to include All
in your Circle of Love?

And as Love Is Eternal,
as Love is infinite
in its reach,
as You Are Love,
are you not always
in this Circle of Love –
is Love not
all-inclusive,
it is here
for everyone –
can you Be
an Expression of Love,
as you share
the healing balm
of Love?

The Circle of Love
includes each One
of the Whole.
Be this Love.
Believe in Love.
Surround the cycle
of hurt,
with the Circle of Love.

Love All.
Love You.
Be Love.
Believe Love.

Be a loving link
in the Circle of Love.

Foundation of Love

20171001 XPicture

10/01/17

There are symbols,
there are guidelines,
there are rules
that help keep peace,
to bring an order
to the world
in which you live.

When there are questions,
when there is friction,
when fingers point
from here to there –
is this not a perfect
time to question,
what stirs you up,
what is your reaction,
what may come up
for you to heal –
and might the healing
of One
help to heal
a collective Whole?

It may not feel good,
it may cause strife,
when you question
what you thought
was true –
when beliefs
crash into beliefs,
do not walls
come tumbling down –
do you not look
for a foundation,
something sturdy
to stand upon,
you can rearrange
the structure
that you think
brings structure
to your world –
but are you
not searching
for what is solid
enough to support
all that you are –
and is not
What You Are,
what you seek,
is it not Love?

When you strip away
the symbols,
the beliefs,
who is right
or wrong –
what do you
have in common,
with those you
cannot agree upon,
you can keep
building walls
that keep you
separate,
drawing a dividing
line –
or can you see
with Eyes of Love,
that at your core
you all want
the same?

As One of the Whole,
can you listen,
can you send
another Love –
turn up your Light,
be a beacon,
to help ease
pain and suffering –
yes, work for change,
but can Love
be the foundation
as you rebuild –
do you not sometimes need
to tear down
what can no longer
stand alone?

Is there not Strength
in unifying,
is there not growth
in a common cause –
can you search
deep inside
and find a
common cause for Love?
Can you look beyond
the structures of beliefs
that you are standing on –
can you find
where Love begins,
can you begin
with a Foundation of Love?

Is there not Peace,
is there not Strength,
when you stand
with Love?

Create.
Build.
With Love
may you
stand tall
and stand together
on the Foundation of Love.

One Heart

20170922 XPicture

9/22/17

When you gather,
when you share,
do not ripples
go out
everywhere –
when hearts are touched
by another’s
words,
images,
emotions felt,
or secrets shared,
do you not affirm
each other’s path,
in this Walk
through Life?

Yes, there are places
you may walk
on your own,
but when you look up
do you see
you are not alone –
are not others
gathered
in the place,
Where You Are,
connected at the heart,
part of the
Web of Love?

It may begin
with one or two
kindred spirits
that you meet,
but do not
ripples have
a way,
of sending echoes
that are heard
far beyond
what you can see –
are not Ripples of Love
heard and felt
everywhere?

As you step into
the Truth
of Who You Are –
resonating with
the Love
That Is You,
does not this
Spark of Love
grow bright,
grow strong,
will not others
feel it,
recognize it
and come along?

When hearts
are joined
in Love,
in Light –
does not this
Web of Love
grow stronger,
shine bright –
as you open up
your heart,
sharing the Love
That Is You,
do you not receive
Love reflected
back to You?

When you gather,
when you share,
do you not
experience Love
everywhere –
it may be
one word,
one image,
that lights up
someone’s heart –
for are you not
All One,
One Love,
One Heart?

Gather.
Share.
Lift each other up.
Be You.
Be True.
Be Love.

Be Together

Friends Playing on the Beach

9/11/17

Together.

Do you not band
together,
to lend a helping
hand,
are there not times
when you realize,
that there is help
when you need support –
when in times
of need,
is it not easier
to go through it
together?

Does it not take
greater strength
to ask for help,
to reach out –
in this life of
separation,
why do you feel
you need to
“go it alone”,
do all not grow
when one is lifted,
when you connect,
when you share –
is not the greatest Strength
experienced when you
work and play together?

Yes, it often takes
a common cause
or times when you
step outside
your “usual” lives,
can you step beyond
your comfort zones,
to let someone know
they are not alone –
can the common cause
be one of Love,
as you reach out your hand
or look with your heart –
can you see You,
in who stands
next to you?
Together.

Together you share
so much more
than what you think
are differences –
you may not agree
on everything,
but can you see
Love in humanity –
do not wait for
an invitation
or a catastrophic event,
can you Be Love now,
together?

When you get beyond
the “yours” and “mine”,
helping each other
to see the Light,
is there not comfort
when you share,
that the Love you seek
is everywhere –
does Love not grow,
is there not a bright
Light,
when you experience
the Love That You Are
in this life –
together?

Be a shining Light.
Let it connect
You to All.
As All Are Love,
how can you not
Be
Love
Together.
