A Season of Love

9/22/18

Tall and majestic
is the tree,
full of summer’s
abundant leaves,
yes, on one day
the seasons change,
but has not change
always been happening,
sometimes so slowly
you may not realize it,
but have not the leaves
been changing
bit by bit,
change can happen
be it fast or slow,
are you not always
evolving
and letting go?

Like roots on the tree,
you are grounded here –
part of the earth,
while you are living here,
but as nature is
a gift
from the Divine,
are you not also beyond
any space or time?

You change in cycles
like the seasons change,
what may seem like
an end,
is only you beginning
again,
in this moment you are
as above,
so below,
always expanding,
with Divine perfection,
you grow.

So be it spring,
summer, winter
or fall,
can you not soak up
the many lessons
from all,
take a cue from
Tree,
who represents
balance and Grace –
Be One with the earth,
even as you transcend
any space.

Sense your roots
that stretch deep
into the ground,
now touch the stars,
You Are Everywhere
Love can be found.

The Sound of Love

Water is silent
until it flows,
until some movement
makes the water go,
meandering down
a forest creek,
or coming out
of a dripping sink –
one drop
or cascading
over a waterfall –
sometimes you hear
water,
sometimes not at all.

Love can be silent,
even as it flows,
but is not Love’s
sound,
so beautiful?
It may be in the
music that you hear,
or when you talk
to a loved one dear,
the purring of a cat
sitting close to you,
a shared silence
with one,
who knows you
well.

Can you step into
Love’s constant flow –
as Love moves you,
where would you wish
to go,
can you be a Voice
for loving words,
when silence speaks,
can you hold space
for this,
the Spectrum of Love
is both near and far,
are you not as expansive
as the Love That
You Are?

Be a conduit
for Love,
be it still
or cascading
through You,
you are always
in Love’s flow,
what does Love
sound like –
to You?

A Perfect Balance

There is a balance
on the shore,
where water meets land,
no less,
no more,
is there not a connection
between elements,
a place for experiencing
perfect balance?

Is this not why people
love the beach,
to stand on sand
and see water’s reach,
the rhythmic waves
always coming home,
the interchange
between sand
and foam,
each smoothing out
where the other
has gone –
is this not where
perfect balance
comes from?

When you get out
of tune,
feel out of sync,
find where your
peaceful state
exists,
be it a wave
that returns to shore,
a short summer rain,
then sun’s warming
glow,
the twilight time
when night greets
the day,
let nature show
you a thousand
ways –
to return
to perfect balance,
to Home.

Sun

When rain and fog
come in to stay,
do you not look
for the sun
in any way,
one glimpse of Light,
one shining beam,
does that not brighten
a cloudy day,
are you not grateful
for the sun that shines,
even more when sunlight
seems to go away?

But of course the sun
is always there –
if it is day,
the sun is shining
somewhere –
might rain need to
cleanse and wash away
what has been building up,
getting in the way –
after a rain
and when fog clears,
does not the sun sparkle
on the leaves
and even in the air,
do you not welcome
with open arms,
blue sky again,
and Light of Sun?

Have Faith your face
will again
be kissed by
the sun,
when Light is dim,
can you turn up
your shining Light some?
Be a beacon of Light,
let your Light glow,
let it cut through
the fog
and the rain that
comes and goes,
your Light is steady
and strong as the
sun that always shines
through any rain,
denseness of fog,
through Eternity,
Light always shines.

When it is hard
to see Light
with your eyes –
go to your heart
to let the Spark
of Love and Light rise.
You shine always
like the sun that
forever shines –
You Are Love Eternal
beyond space
and beyond time.

Growing Trust

Hatchlings2

Trust.

Is it not a delicious
gift,
to see baby birds
from hatchlings grow
into adolescents,
out with their parents
now with wings that
let them go
in the open
to explore,
to fly,
as they navigate
their world –
does not their world
expand
as they learn
to trust?

Can you look back
from where you are –
has not trust
played a part
where you are
now,
trust opens up
the next door,
the great unknown
that you may fear –
but every moment
you are in,
did not exist
a second before,
are you not perpetually
stepping through
what you think
you do not know?

You have trust
in your breath,
and when breath ends,
do you not live on,
can you find comfort
in the trust,
that As Love,
You will carry on,
when you live from
your center,
as your awareness
of You grows,
can you expand
your world,
your trust,
as the baby birds do
as they grow?

Trust in Love,
let it bring you
hope.
Hope,
Faith,
and Trust
keep you moving on.
Trusting in Love,
means having trust
in You.
You Are a Gift,
as You Are Love.

The Rhythm of Love

Be flexible,
Be adaptable –
does not energy
move in waves,
much like the ocean tide
with its ebb and flow,
is there not motion
in the rhythm,
that it creates?

You may move forward,
step back to pause,
as inspiration pulls
you forward again,
yes, your footprints
that you left
may have been erased
by moving sand,
but you are
constantly creating
with every step
that you take,
let your steps
carry you forward,
being present with
each footprint
that you make.

You make a difference
Be-ing You,
a magnificent expression
of Who You Are,
each step you take
with Love
honors you
as it honors All,
life is not about
what you leave
or what you wish
you could do –
life is about
Who You Are
right now,
in every moment –
Love Is, too.

Keep flowing like
the waves
that remind you
of the power of –
each drop in the ocean
is like everyone
of You
combined in Love,
some days you need
to crash upon
the shore
to be heard,
some days are you not
content being quiet
and reserved?

Be flexible,
Be adaptable –
like the sand
and ocean’s waves,
working together,
creating beauty,
both the same
and changing
everyday.

As Love is
your constant rhythm,
celebrate the Love
You Are today.

Coexist

Coexist.

Does not nature provide
examples of how it
often coexists –
plants that grow
side by side,
animals that you
would not think
do this,
do they not go
about their business,
focusing upon
what each one
really needs,
is there not often
an acceptance,
as they move around
each other
with ease?

Yes, in the human world
it can be a challenge
as relationships
are intertwined –
there are lessons
to be learned,
or beliefs that build
over time,
but if you unwind
some of the drama,
expectation,
judgements, too,
when you dial it
all back to Love,
can people not
coexist, too?

And can you take it
a step further
and not only acceptance
have,
can you extend a loving
blessing,
heartfelt,
with no strings attached,
does not acceptance
help you coexist,
does not Love
help you connect,
to all the parts
of You,
that make up
the Whole
of All That Is?

Coexist,
connect,
with no strings
attached.
Be You.
Be Love.
Love always
has your back.

A Loving Connection

Connected.

As constant as
the shining sun,
rays shining down
on everyone,
it matters not
where you come from,
are All not
connected?

Does Light not find
a way
to filter through
a cloudy sky
or night-time, too,
can not sun’s Light
light up the moon,
no matter the phase,
does it not flow
through you,
the sun,
the moon,
the stars
and You –
are All not
connected?

Is not your Light within
what connects you to
anything you see,
any experience you
do,
if you feel disconnect,
can you tune into You
and find common ground
in the Light you sense
around you?

You can connect with
another,
or beloved pet,
or the flowers that bloom,
the birds feeding their
young,
are you not a part
of that, too –
from the air that you
breathe,
to the morning sun
that breaks through,
you are connected
to All
and All connects
through you, too.

As constant as
the shining sun,
rays shining down
on All as One,
does not the Light
of Love abound,
are you not All
and All Is You,
connected in Love,
in Light,
as One –
You Are
always connected.

A Canopy of Love

20180709 XPicture

7/09/18

Like taking shelter
near the trees,
as you take cover
under the leaves,
when the summer rain
appears,
are you not also
covered by
a Canopy of Love,
is there not respite
from any storm,
when you need a break
or to feel the calm,
like a tree, sturdy
and tall,
does Love not provide
grounding and Strength
through it all?

The Tree of Love
provides you
with some refuge,
or a place to rest
or maybe regroup,
when you need to
reset or recharge,
can Love not connect you
to the stars,
that twinkle over Tree –
does not Love’s energy
flow through you,
showing you Nature’s
possibility?

When you need to center
and calm,
be near or visualize
Nature’s healing balm,
find your place where
Peace flows in,
under a tree,
near a river,
on a mountain
or field of green,
can you find shelter
in this Love,
that surrounds you now,
all around and
from within?

Let Love’s breeze
flow through you,
and like a summer’s
morning dew,
Love can clear out
what you no longer need,
letting Peace return
to You –
standing tall
and fully grounded,
below and above –
and as majestic as
a Tree of Love.

Dawning

A new day dawns.

Is this not a symbol
of a new start,
but as you are You
even as you sleep,
your human side
may look at another day,
but your soul is always
Here to stay,
it matters not where
you wake up from,
you are as constant
as the shining sun –
shining on even as
you think it is night,
across the earth,
is Sun not shining
bright?

At any moment
can you not begin,
to create anew
or like a snake,
shed your skin,
do you not emerge
feeling shiny,
feeling new,
when you learn the
everlasting
Truth of You –
a True You dawns
at any moment
of any day,
when you realize
You Are Loved
in every way.

A new day dawns
and may you see it,
feel it,
Know –
You Are Loved
beyond measure
and as you let
this True Love flow,
spread it far and wide,
live your truth,
do not hide,
your shining Light
much like the sun,
can reach out and touch
everyone,
as You Are Loved,
so You Are Love,
be it your morning
or your night –
shine on,
Beautiful Soul,
Beautiful Light.
