In the Quiet

12/10/17

There.
In the stillness.
Before you wake
at break of day,
before you know
if work or weekend
or what events
you have planned
that day.
In the quiet,
in the moments,
before your mind
becomes fully engaged –
is this not
a moment of magic,
when you are You
and not you at all?

Do you not sense
that you have been conversing,
visiting others,
visiting You –
your dreams may take you
on a journey,
you are not always clear
if they are true,
but when a whisper,
when a feeling,
when a knowing,
lets you know –
in the quiet,
in the stillness –
does not a loved one
say hello?

When you sit
in the stillness,
when you quiet
your active mind,
can you strip
away the layers
that may cover up
Who You Are –
as you sit with
your loving heart,
are you not joined
by those you love –
this Love Is You,
this Love Is All –
always connected
in this Space of Love.

In the quiet,
in the spaces
between night and day
and day and night –
does Love not exist
in everything
and in between
all that you see?

Love is in between
the snowflakes,
that fall so peacefully
on a winter’s day,
Love is in a favorite song –
in the first notes
and when the music
fades aways.
Are you not left
with the feeling
that warms your heart
and comforts you –
Love Is everything You Are,
Love Is everything you do.

In the quiet,
in the stillness,
You Are Love
as Love Is You.

A Serving of Love

20171209 XPicture

12/09/17

“How may I serve?”

And as you pose this question
in your mind
and in your heart –
as you place this intention,
is it not about
serving Love?

Are there not countless ways
to be of service
to the greater good?
As an integral part
of the Whole,
do you not take your place
at the table –
what do you bring
to share,
to exchange,
to add,
that honors the
Love That You Are –
when you are True
to Who You Are,
is that not about
serving Love?

When you are of service,
does not Humility
keep you on track,
is there not a balance
that you find
between your soul
and your mind –
are not unique qualities,
or ways of expression,
like the colors
on a color wheel –
do they not blend
and become even brighter,
when you create while
serving Love?

Be you as the human,
who experiences so much
on earth.
Be You as Spirit always,
who sees All
and knows the Truth.

Be Love in your expressing,
be expressive in your Love.
Let your heart
lead the way
and you will always
serve Love.

“How may I serve?
And does not the question
let you know –
as you express the
Love That You Are,
you need only answer,
“with Love.”

Your Beautiful Heart

12/07/17

What do your patterns
teach you?

In this world of duality
where cause and effect,
action and reaction,
may make you stretch,
struggle,
grow,
does your soul
not also expand,
as you try out new ways
to choose,
to see,
to break free
from patterns
that have put blinders
upon your human eyes?

Is it not when you
let go
of what “should” happen,
based upon the past
or the future expected,
then might you trust
your intuition,
the language of your
benevolent soul,
who is always with you,
cheering you on,
lending a hand,
to help you up
when you are ready
to stand,
ready to fly?

And with the non-judgmental
eyes
of Who You Are,
can you see that your patterns
have brought you to
this moment now,
every scrape,
every bruise
that you can lovingly
tend to,
with an expanding heart
that continues to get
stronger,
for hearts do not stay broken,
even when battered,
do they not get stronger
when healing comes –
when you open your heart
to the Love That You Are?

Can you send Gratitude
to your patterns,
your story,
your path
that you walk upon?
You Are Here –
but alone you do
not travel –
your soul,
your loved ones,
your guides,
and angels
are always with You,
whatever the labels
that your story prefers.

There is Love and support –
you are never separate
from the Love that beats
within the Heart of You.
You are always
connected
to Love.

Let your beautiful heart
remind you now –
that You Are Love.

The Harmony of Love

20171205 XPicture

12/05/17

When a decision
needs to be made,
what makes it hard,
what gets in the way?
Can you look at how
you think of choices –
what are the “shoulds”,
what makes the “need”
to be made?

How does it feel
within your heart,
does your stomach
tie in knots –
there is no “good” or “bad”
in what you feel,
but pay attention
to the signals
that your body
gives to you.

There is harmony when
decisions
show you the way
upon your path,
some come as a
fork in the road,
an intersection,
a hard left –
some are more gentle
in nature,
you may wake up
then to see,
that you are traveling
in a slightly different
but still familiar direction,
upon your way.

Does not the harmony,
the flow,
come with the
assuredness of knowing –
when body and soul
work together
to make things happen,
do you not know?
Then a decision,
even a choice
is not so difficult
to see the way,
are not decisions
another way
to choose Love
today?

Pay attention
to what your your soul,
to what your gut
already knows,
listen to your body,
it helps you determine,
which way you wish
to go.
Believe in You,
trust that there
is no right way
or wrong.
All roads lead you,
all paths guide you,
to All the ways
to Love.

Harmony.
Coherence.
Grace and Ease.
Be One.
Be Love.
Believe.

Begin With Love

20171202 XPicture

12/02/17

Begin with Love.

You can go on
many journeys
in your life
and in your mind –
is not the reality
you perceive
as fluid as
your state of mind?
What will you put
into your suitcase
to accompany you
on this trip –
when thinking
what to pack,
might you
begin with Love?

Can you let Love
be your companion
on any trip
that you take,
is not Love
the Great Interpreter,
understanding any language
you may hear,
can you not find Love
in any destination,
is Love not everywhere –
can Love not help you
find Peace,
when you
begin with Love?

Might Love be a filter
to separate out
what feels right,
you are growing,
ever-changing,
so your views
my change as well,
who is your constant
companion,
when you wish
to make sense
of You,
is it not a perfect
place to start,
when you
begin with Love?

Let Love be your
touchstone,
a cornerstone of
where you build,
let Love be your
Guiding Light,
illuminating your path,
there is no place
that is not Love,
though you might not
recognize the view,
until you see
where Love shines in,
when you look
and begin with Love.

And how can you
begin with Love –
is not Love always here?
Is each moment
not a chance to see
the Love That You Are?
You wish to be
the expression
of All That Is
on your Journey here –
might each step
you take with Love
let you begin with Love?

Beginning is a birth,
you are creating everyday.
Be Love now.
Express Love now.
Begin each breath,
begin each moment,
begin with Love.

A Hug of Love

Wrapped in a hug
of Love.

You hug a child
and when they
are so young,
do they not melt
in the arms of Love,
you hug your pets,
hold them close
to you,
as this Loving Force
surrounds you, too –
there is a contentment,
peace,
a smile forms –
when you are wrapped
in a hug of Love.

You hug your family,
your friends so dear,
some you can bear hug,
others a quick hug
will do,
but do all not respond
when arms reach
out wide,
when with open hearts,
feeling Love inside –
you are wrapped
in a hug of Love.

And as all is energy,
you need not be near
to send an intention
of a hug
to someone dear –
who could use a hug
that you may not
usually include
on your list to Love,
but do not All
long for Love,
to remind them of
Who They Are –
can you send a loving
thought,
wrapping them in
a hug of Love?

When you are feeling
separation,
feeling that you
are alone,
a physical hug
can be a comforting
reminder of Love –
but we wish
to assure you,
Love Is Everywhere
You Are –
can you focus on
your heart
and feel it wrapped lovingly in
a hug of Love?

Love always surrounds you.
It is a hug
that is always there.
Cradling You.
Supporting You.
You Are So Loved.
You Are Always
wrapped in
a hug of Love.

Circle of Love

20171123 XPicture

11/23/17

Form a circle.
Gather ’round.
Who do you see
in your Circle of Love?
They may be near
or far away –
across the miles,
or Loved Ones
that you will see
one day,
but are All
not here,
circling around
your grateful heart,
for does not your
Circle of Love
surround you, too?

Place settings may change,
friends come and go,
traditions may stay,
some are memories past,
you may wonder at times,
“Where am I to sit?”
There is always a place
in the Circle of Love.

Form a circle.
Gather ’round.
Is it not your heart
that forms
the Circle of Love?
Do you not begin
with Love,
letting your heart expand,
who can you surround
with your Circle of Love –
you need not physically
be at the table
or feast,
to partake in the bounty
of a Circle of Love.

Form a circle,
now let it expand,
yes, you make room
in your Circle of Love –
there is always a place
for you to Be,
join hearts,
feel the Love
that surrounds you now –
come sit at the table
of the Circle of Love.

Form a circle.
Gather ’round.
Hearts connecting
in Gratitude,
always connected
with Love.

Love Heals

20171119 XPicture

11/19/17

Love heals.

Yes, hearts can break,
feel sad,
can mourn,
but can not
your beautiful heart expand
to tenderly,
lovingly,
fill each crack
with the healing balm
of Love?
Love heals.

In the human duality,
yes, the heart can play
many roles,
going through cycles,
feeling full,
feeling loss,
as it is the center
of your Be-ing –
but do these experiences
not give you the
opportunity
to see beyond
what is
or is not?
Love heals.

With Gratitude,
does Love not fill you,
lift you up,
filling in the spaces
you thought were empty,
healing wounds
you thought were ignored –
does Love not see you
as You Are –
a magnificent Be-ing
of Love expressed –
when you see You
through the Eyes of Love –
Love heals.

Yes, your human heart
may sometimes
feel worn and battered
from the ups and downs
of the experience of life,
but with Strength and Courage,
can you not expand
the heart and soul
of Who You Are –
to experience the Love,
the Heart of You,
that nurtures,
that cradles you
in its loving arms –
is this not when
the healing begins?
Love heals.

See you
with the
loving heart
of You.

Love fills.
Love soothes.
Love heals.

Welcome Love

20171117 XPicture

11/17/17

Open arms.

When you visualize
open arms,
is this not a symbol
of inviting in,
of welcoming –
please come in
and sit down,
you are welcomed
with open arms.

And is not an
open door
another way to say,
“I am here”,
does not an open door
let others know
you are available,
accessible,
come in,
sit down,
welcome in.

Is there not comfort
in welcoming,
with open arms,
with hearts
full of Love,
do open arms
not symbolize
acceptance,
belonging,
does not this symbol
of coming together,
of a connection made,
help to reverse
the feeling of
separation –
do open arms
not welcome you
Home?

And does not this feeling
of Coming Home,
happen when Love arrives
with open arms –
this familiar place,
this loving space,
where you feel welcome,
where There Is Love,
when open hearts
connect as One,
when you open doors
with open arms?

Welcome Love
with open arms.
You make the connection
when you give or receive.
Invite Love in,
sprinkle Love throughout.
Welcome Love.
Welcome You.
Welcome Home.

A Love Note

20171110 XPicture

11/10/17

Take care.

Can you take care
of you,
can you take
a moment or two
to relax,
to breathe,
to check in
with you?

Can you not learn
a thing or two
from your pets,
the animal world –
who follow their instincts –
when tired,
do they not lie down,
when sick,
do they not conserve,
when they want to play,
do they not engage,
do they not take care
of their needs
in every moment
of their day?
Take care.

Yes, there are tasks
you wish to do,
work or a job
takes time from you,
unless you are present
in those moments, too –
take care.

Can not any moment
be a loving space
that fills you up
instead of taking away –
does it not begin
when you are ready
to say,
“I will take care
of me today!”
Take care.

You are programmed
to give,
you may think that
taking is “bad”,
but does not the
battery pack in you
need a chance to recharge,
rejuvenate,
regenerate –
as You take care
of you?
Take care.

“Care” is a loving way
to say,
what might feel good
to you today –
what might you pamper yourself
with some loving care?
An extra cup
of a favorite drink,
some extra time
of quietness,
turning up your favorite
song,
as you sing joyfully
along,
to close your eyes
when sleepiness comes –
take care.

Is not taking care
an intention,
does it not begin
with a loving thought –
does it not occur
when you look
in the mirror,
sending unconditional Love
to you –
is not taking care
a love note
to be opened
by you,
can you read
it out loud –
“I Love You”
and
“Take Care!”

Love,
You.
