Answer With Love

6/05/17

There are answers
to your questions –
upon reflection,
do they not come?
Is there not a
phrase, to
“sleep on it,”
that may provide
the time and space
you need –
when you ponder,
do you not
give yourself time
for your mind
to let go –
so that your
answers can
bubble up
to the surface
from your
higher state
of Be-ing?

And might you
check your answer
in your gut
and in your heart –
if an answer
is not sufficient,
is that not
when the question
returns,
might you also
ask what is
the question
to ask?

Might there be answers
to questions
not yet formed –
as you open
to the guidance
that has been there
all along –
you have help,
you have support,
yes, you have
free choice as well –
but does it
not feel good
to have choices
formed from Love?

Yes the Universe
may intervene
to put you on
a different tract –
sometimes it is
hard to find
the answers
to your questions
that are asked in fear –
yes, ego tries
to protect you,
but might you
be missing out –
on knowing
the answers
to your questions
asked with Love?

Can you reframe
your questions
and put them
in a loving Light –
might it be
the solution you seek
is to look
in a different way,
might the answer
to your question
is to ask a different one –
“Where is Love
and how do I
let Love guide the way?”

Ask Love.
Receive Love.
Question all
but Love.
Answer with Love.
Respond with Love.

You Know
the answer –
Love.

Be Surprised

20170511XPicture

5/11/17

Do you not sometimes
surprise yourself?
And is this 
not usually
a pleasant surprise?

Does a surprise not
happen when
you are expecting
a different outcome,
but does not
something happen
in spite of yourself
that surprises
even you?

And which “you”
is the one
who is surprised?
Is it not the ego,
who sets the guidelines,
the rules to follow,
the procedure to take
to insure things
will happen
how they are “supposed”
to be?

Is it not ego
that will be surprised
when you do things
in a different way,
or an outcome happens
when you least
expect it,
getting “surprising” results –
is not ego surprised
that you did not
follow the usual
or typical way?

There is an
uncomfortableness
that ego feels
when you enter a state
of not knowing
all of the “hows”,
for is not ego
an expert planner –
and does not
ego resist
when you wish to let go
to let things happen
and fall into place?

Does ego not
grudgingly acknowledge
that some things happen
for a greater good –
somehow an outcome
that you did not expect
makes you pleasantly
surprised?

Can you get
more comfortable
in the place
of not setting limits,
not holding yourself back –
let ego manage
what ego is good at,
as you expand
your possibilities
beyond the horizon
of what you can see –
can you accept
what will happen,
can you let yourself
be surprised?

Can you play
with imagination,
can you enter into
a state of allowance,
do not some surprises
exceed your expectations,
is it not Humility
that you feel
when you are part
of a greater flow?

Allow.
Accept.
Imagine.
Limitless
Eternal
Love.
No surprise –
That You Are Love.

As Above . . .

Push the button.
Take the elevator
to the top.

Would this not
be an analogy
you might use,
to visualize
rising “up”
to a place,
to a different perspective,
to a higher
vantage point –
to your Higher Self?

And once
at the “top”,
do you not
remove yourself
from the hustle
and the bustle,
giving you time
to think,
to reflect,
to absorb
what’s been
going on
“down” below?

And we use
above and below
as examples
of different states
of be-ing,
of your awareness –
for is not
your Higher Self
with you
all the time?

But in the
day to day
of life
and its distractions,
the work,
the play
that you experience –
the learning
that takes place,
does not your
human-ness
take over
to get you
through the day,
or so you think?

Is not your
Higher Self
always there –
you think
assisting from
the sidelines,
for is it not
difficult to see
the bigger picture
when you are
in the day to day
down on the street –
until you push
the button to
see the view
from the top?

Might your Higher Self
be the One
who is directing you
here or there –
does not inspiration
feel as if it is
dropped in from above?

Even if you
are not aware
of the view
from above –
as you are
always connected
to All That Is –
there is not
a separate place
to go –
you cannot separate
yourself from Love –
but does it not
help to see the Truth
of Who You Are –
do you not
sometimes need
to push the button
to get to the top –
to see the view
from a different place,
to be aware
there is more
to You
than meets
the eye?

Might you push
the button often
throughout your
day to day –
can you raise
your awareness
to the Love
That You Are –
to the Love
that Always Is –
incorporating
All of You,
not on separate floors
that you must
travel to –
might you be aware
and integrate
All of You
at all times
to Be the
Love That You Are?

Push the button
to remind yourself
that You Are Love,
then realize
you need not
go anywhere
to find the Love
that is always
within you.

You Are Here.
You Are Home.
You Are Love.

 

Serving Love

20170506 XPicture

5/06/17

To be of service.

To serve,
to give,
to help,
to believe
in something
that is outside of you
and your daily needs –
does it not
feel good
to be of service
to others?

And are there not
a plethora of ways
to serve –
be it in
the military,
with community,
performing any
civic duty,
you may be paid
or volunteer –
any way that
you can help
to be of service
to someone,
something outside
of yourself?

Is there not
a sense,
even a need
to extend a hand,
to help someone,
to be of service,
to do “good”,
does it not
make you feel
good as well?

Is serving
not extending
a part of
yourself –
saying yes,
“I am here
to serve you?”

But is serving
not reciprocal –
is there not
satisfaction
that you feel –
when you help
someone does it
not help you, too?

Might you be
serving the Love
that flows through
each of you –
as you are
an extension
of the Love
of All That Is –
as you extend
service to another,
are you not
also serving Source?

Is not being
of service
an act of surrender
that serves
a greater good –
is there anything
greater than the
Love of the Divine?
Is this not
the Love
that also flows
through You?

So when providing
an act of service –
are you not
honoring the Love
That You Are –
yes, you extend yourself,
but do you
not receive
what you so
freely give?

As you serve Spirit,
the Love of All That Is –
does not surrender
to this Love
let you Be
the Love That You Are –
are not All served
even when
you serve
One?

To Be of service
is to Be Love.
Give.
Receive.
Serve Spirit.
Serve Love.
In all ways,
always,
Love.

Follow Your Heart

20170501 XPicture

5/01/17

Follow your heart.

This direction 
on what direction
to take,
how to navigate
a course,
lends itself
to directions
less traveled,
to a more
uncertain path
where your thoughts
are concerned –
what is your center
of be-ing
telling you?
Trust your instincts
and follow your heart.

Is there not
a feeling
that is hard to
explain with
the words
of the mind,
when you connect
with the Truth
that your heart
knows is there –
it is not really
emotion,
but is it not
a feeling?
Trust your instincts
and follow your heart.

You have more
than one compass
that will help
lead the way –
can you turn down
the noise of
your thoughts,
to take the path
of Love
that the heart
is tuned into –
with the knowing
of your center
can you trust now
where You Are?
Trust your instincts
and follow your heart.

We are not
asking you
to not think
on your own –
there is a balance
to the life you lead,
but is there
not information
that flows through
your be-ing,
and as You Are
a Be-ing of Love –
do you not
look back on choices,
decisions you
have made
and thought,
“I should have trusted
my instincts
and followed my heart!”

It may be a path
less traveled,
it may put you on
a different route,
but if you feel into
what your heart
is telling you –
might you
be more connected
to the Love That You Are,
as you honor the
Love That You Are
in your heart,
might you trust your instincts
and follow your heart?

Let Love
lead the
way to
Love.

Have Faith.
Trust Love.
Follow your heart.

Spark of Light

illuminated bulb

4/30/17

A plane on
the ground,
a big heavy
piece of metal –
who would know
or believe
that it could fly –
if you had not
seen it
in the air before?

So commonplace
are planes in
the air,
that you no longer
take much notice –
but what inspired
the thoughtful dream
that put airplanes
in the sky –
or any new invention
that requires thinking
outside the box?

Is it not when
you let your
mind,
reach out untethered
from your story
or beliefs
that things must
happen a certain way –
are there not
a multitude
of possibilities,
inspirations,
drops from a
Source –
that can spark
creative thinking,
imagining,
what might be
if you let
reflective thoughts
come trickling in?

If you have a
problem,
or are trying to
figure something out –
even if you are
not searching for
a solution,
might you relax
your thoughts –
are not thoughts
only a part
of information
that is available
to You?

Do you not credit
inspiration,
as like a
lightening bolt
from the sky –
with no idea
where an idea
came from –
is it not often
instantaneous,
do you not
liken it to
a light bulb
turning on in
a flash?

Does not a flash
of inspiration
often come
when you are
not thinking –
might it come
when you stop trying,
throwing up your hands
to ask for help?

Might you let go
of needing to have
all the answers –
are there not
also answers
to questions
you do not know
to ask?

Free your mind.
Let go
and let information
flow.
Be open to inspiration –
ask for help
when you feel stuck.
Let each Spark of Light
within
connect with
Sparks of Light
without.

Be expansive.
Be reflective.
Be inspired.
Be the Light.
Open up.
Let go.
Be Love.

Expansive Love

IMG_4894

4/19/17

You have an expectation,
how you will act,
how you might feel,
what may happen
in any situation –
do you not speculate,
preplanning what will be?

Yes, it may give
you focus,
when you plan
a direction you
may take,
but are you not
also surrounding
what may be
with limitations –
might you be
holding yourself back
from what can be?

Expectations
and outcomes
can sometimes
set you up
for ego’s judgement,
but are they not
also limiting in nature –
how can you
know every outcome
that may be?

Might you play
in expansive energy
that is not limited
by your story,
or only based on
what you know,
or what you may have
experienced before?

Can you have faith
that there is something
greater than you,
where expansive energy resides –
the Vibration of Love,
is looking out for you,
but might it be
a different path
that you did not see?

Might you open
your heart,
but also open
your mind –
can you trust
that a different way
might take you
on a different route –
resulting in a more
expansive outcome
than you may
have thought?

Is not your imagination
the perfect place
to play and dream?

Can you play
in the vibration
of Love that is
expansive –
it has no limits,
it knows no boundaries –
can you get there
with faith –
and trust in the
expansive energy
of Love?

Expand your mind.
Expand your heart.
There are no limits
to the expansive
energy of Love.

And as You Are Love –
there is no limit
to the expansive
energy of You.

Set yourself free with
the limitless
Love That You Are.

Flow of Love

Mist at Tone River

4/15/17

The flow
of a river –
no matter
how big
or how small
the river is,
there is a current,
a movement,
a flow.

And do you
not feel
this current
when you walk
in the river –
you may not
see the direction
of the water
moving on
the surface,
but a current
runs deep,
there is a
direction,
a movement,
a flow.

And does not
this current
pull along
whatever has entered
the water,
the flow,
yes the physical properties
of the earth,
the laws of nature,
can explain
how a river flows,
but is there not
a mystical pull,
a mesmerizing draw
to the sound,
the movement,
the feel,
as you dip
your hand
in the water
to experience
the current,
the flow?

And yes,
you can experience
the current
of a river
by paddling a canoe
or kayak
through waters
that move,
that flow –
and do you
not feel as one
with the water
if you are able
to navigate well –
and not
bump into rocks
or to paddle
against the current –
do you not
feel and sense
when you are
in the flow?

Will the flow
not carry you along
if you allow yourself
to be guided –
once you are
“In the flow”
do you not need
to work so hard?

Is there not
a flow,
a current,
a movement
of least resistance
when you experience
the flow,
the “sweet spot”,
when everything
comes together
and unfolds
with perfect timing –
when a task
feels easy,
when you are not
fighting to move
upstream –
would you not
prefer to be
moving with
the flow?

Are there not
obstacles or bumps
along the way
that give you clues,
that allow you
to make adjustments,
so you may navigate
a smoother route
to take?

A task may
be daunting,
but are you not
able to accomplish
what you thought
was insurmountable –
when you put
yourself in
the Flow of Love
and allow yourself
to be guided
with love and support
along the way?

Ask for help.
Step into the Flow.
As you go
with the current,
the movement
of the Flow of Love –
can you let
it unfold
in front of you?

There is much
to experience
in life –
and like the river,
there will be obstacles
that you encounter
along the way –
but as you let
the Flow of Love
be your guide,
might you experience
a smoother ride?

Let go.
Step into the Flow.
Let Love surround you
as you experience
the movement,
the current,
the Flow of Love
That You Are.
Be One with Love
and Flow.

Room for Love

20170411 XPicture

4/11/17

Step aside.
Make room.
Surrender.

If you are
grappling with
an issue,
tension mounts,
and you feel tight,
may you loosen
up your grip,
let go –
slip into
the energy of surrender.

When you realize
you do not have
all of the
answers you
think you need,
is there not help,
Divine Guidance?
Let go –
slip into
the energy of surrender.

Letting go
is not giving up,
but it may be
giving to –
do you not
nod your head
and acknowledge,
there is something
greater than you –
can you feel
the Love
that steps in,
when you step aside
and make room
for the loving energy
that flows –
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender?

May you feel
some relief
that you are not
in this alone?
You may think
you have control,
that it is all
up to you –
does that thinking
not back you up
against a wall –
do you not need
space to breathe,
and to Be?

Is there not
more room
to breathe,
to work things out
more efficiently,
when you partner
with the Love,
the guidance,
the co-creation –
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender?

Step aside.
Make room.
Surrender.

As you open
up this space –
knowing it is
not all up
to you –
there is intelligence
in the Love
that flows –
do things not
fit together
and work out
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender?

As you make room
for Love,
is not Love
making room
for You –
to see the Whole,
to be in the
Flow of Love
that smoothes
out the path
in front of you –
you need not fight
to make things fit –
when you let go
and slip into
the energy of surrender.

Work with Love.
Flow with Love.
Make room for Love.

Let Love.
Be Love.
Surrender.

Connect With Love

20170410 XPicture

4/10/16

What connects you
to more than you –
to the greater aspect
of You,
that is connected
to All That Is?

You may stand
with your arms
out wide
to soak up
the light of a
moon beam,
so bright,
that it casts shadows
in the darkest night –
are you not
connected now?

You may turn
your face up
to the warm
spring sun
and sense
the turn
toward spring,
bringing hope
and light
as you bask
in the warmth
of the sun’s
healing rays –
are you not
connected now?

You may smile back
at a child’s
smiling face –
a face open
and free
with no walls
in between –
does not a
simple smile
radiate an
open heart –
are you not
connected now?

There are moments
in your day,
when you take
time to pause –
you catch a glimpse
or share a moment,
when you discover,
as you sense
these connections,
as do they not
feel so good –
are you not
always connected
to Love?

When you feel alone
or when you
feel small,
you have forgotten
that You Are
always connected
to All That Is.

You Are
the moon,
that brightens
the night.
You Are
the sun,
that warms
your face.
You Are
the Love
looking back
at you –
do you see
you are
connected Now?

As You Are
an aspect
of All That Is –
are you not
always connected
to Love?

There is no more
that you need do.
Connect with You.
Connect with All.
Connect with Love.
