Listen With Your Heart

Listen with your heart.

Yes, ears are amazing
in their structure,
what fantastic receivers
they can be,
to hear the ocean’s roaring
rhythm
or the faint hum of a
bumblebee,
you can hear another
talking
or take in the harmonies
of a song you hold dear,
but where do you
synthesize
the frequencies that
come to you,
can you experience
what you hear,
by opening up another
channel,
by listening with
your heart?

Can you not hear
even more clearly,
when you turn up
the Love,
is there not a richness
in conversation,
when there is nothing else
you are thinking of –
when you give your
full attention
to hear and feel
what is being said,
get out of your head
and really listen
with your heart.

What you hear may
sound different,
when you have this
different intent,
do not birds singing
sound more beautiful,
when you can feel
their message sent,
even as thunder
rolls out summer,
does not the sound
vibrate all through you –
in the present,
in the moment,
are you not listening
with your heart?

You have countless ways
to receive
what speaks or beckons
to You –
tune into Love,
receive and share it,
as you listen with your heart.

Blooming

With rain,
with sun,
with tender care,
do not flowers bloom
from abundant buds,
is this not a season
when flowers shine,
even in night
under moon’s full glow,
when petals drop,
do not more fill in,
a cycle of life
as flower blooms again.

And when the growing season
is done,
some flowers sleep tight,
some return to where
they came from,
does not Nature show you
what is Life –
eternal growth,
be it day or night?

Celebrate all blooms
in your life,
walk upon soil
that brings forth life,
beyond the earth,
is there still not life,
shining brightly
as the moon in the night?

Expand your view
on what is Life,
life is Eternal,
life belongs to life –
let Nature’s cycles
show you life lives on,
bloom with Joy,
as you are kissed
by the sun.

Return to You

Where do you wish
to go today?

If you need a break,
where would you
go play,
if only in your
mind,
can you not visualize
a place,
that makes you smile,
that is a calming space,
does not your body
react,
to where you go
in your mind,
when you wish to sense
Peace,
what peaceful place
do you wish to find?

And how do you feel
when you are in
your peaceful place –
what is it about
a beach,
a mountain tall,
a forest’s calming space,
what is peaceful about
a creek,
or an ocean’s rhythmic
sound,
that helps you center
where you are,
feeling comfort all
around?

Is it not when you are
with You –
be it physically there
or in your mind,
do you not have the
vibration
of all of nature
within You,
is it not You
that resonates
with the beauty
of All That Is –
when you are unclear
of Who You Are,
do you not find You
even in the stars?

What draws your attention
when you seek to
find Peace,
come back to you,
return to nature,
find beauty in any
place,
the beauty that you
seek,
is all around
and within you now –
You Are Here,
You Are Present,
You Are Peace
and You Are Love.

The Colors of Love

5/27/18

The bright blue sky
is big enough
for the sun,
as well as for
the clouds
that fill up,
so that rain
can come falling down,
is there not a cycle
to releasing
what builds up
to then let go,
are not drops of rain,
part of the cycle, too,
and when the sun
comes out,
might a rainbow
link the two?

The bright blue sky
is always there
behind the clouds,
and when nighttime
comes,
is sky not a palette
for the stars?

Is not the space
you call a sky
always there
through day or night,
much like You,
your Soul,
your Essence,
always You
in the dark or Light –
can you not fill
your sky
with the brightest
of Lights,
even as sometimes
there are clouds,
that filter the Light,
but is not the sky
so beautiful
before and after
a storm,
when the air is crisp
and clear,
when sometimes a
rainbow forms?

Are not the colors
of a rainbow
always there,
even if you cannot see,
does it not sometimes
take rain
to bring them out,
to see all of their
beauty,
as Love is your essence,
are not these colors
always within You –
as you know Light
as you know rain,
does not Love know
what to do –
move with the cycles
that beat with the
Rhythm of Life.
You Are sun.
You Are the stars.
You Are morning,
You Are night.

The bright beautiful
Sky of Love
is the canvas
for You to Be.
Be Light.
Be Love.
Be every color.
Be Free.

A Loving Garden

Wildflower seeds that fall,
some may take hold,
maybe not all,
depending on sunlight
and rain,
you may need to plant
more seeds again,
are you not surprised
at what comes up,
what takes root,
what begins to spread –
once planted,
do not flowers know
what they need
to flourish and grow?

Is intention
not like planning
what seeds or plants
to put in,
at the beginning of spring
when new ideas
are pouring in,
you may have a vision
of what you would like
to see –
you prepare the space,
the dirt,
where your garden may be,
then you plant
and you water,
but do you not also
let go –
to see what thrives,
what flourishes,
as you watch your
garden grow?

There is a balance between
intention
and what you would like
to see,
can you bring the two
together,
in this loving Space of
Possibility –
with intention,
may you align
with what resonates
with Love
and let Love be
your guide,
as you plant the garden
you dream of?

Focus your intention,
then let the seeds go
where they will grow.
With Love,
nourish your garden,
with Joy,
watch your garden grow.

Ripening

Fruit growing on a tree,
be it apple, peach or pear,
is it not a miracle
to behold,
when you see the branches
bare,
from these woody starts
fruit grows,
beginning as shoots,
then buds
to blooms –
opening magically in
the sun,
when you look at
an apple, peach or pear,
would you think
it could come from there?

Does not the miracle
of a fruit tree,
help you to see
you never know,
what may be the result
of miraculous growth,
at any stage you
may not see,
what the end result
may be –
and even what you think
may be the end,
will not the seeds
grow again,
into another tree,
more blooms to sprout,
as the shining sun
kisses ripening fruit?

Fruit growing on a tree,
does not this miracle
help you to see,
with patience,
nurturing and care,
the tree will grow
with fruit to bear,
thriving in the dirt,
with rain and sun,
Tree does not do this
all alone,
does not the miracle
of fruit occur,
when the conditions are
ripe for growth?

Be patient.
Be nurturing.
Be caring.
Be Love.
Hold the miraculous
space for growth.
Be the dirt,
the rain,
the sun –
see what Love
can become.
Each step of growth
contains the
Miracle of Love.

A Mighty Tree

20180513 XPicture

5/13/18

A tree standing
in the forest
is still a majestic,
beautiful tree,
but does it not thrive,
is it not protected
by the trees
and plants
it is near,
does not a forest,
does not nature
work together
as a community,
a canopy of leaves
over the dirt,
the ground beneath?

Might the tree bring
shade to others
that cannot weather
too much sun,
might its leaves
hold precious water
so that it and others
can drink some,
there are a multitude
of interactions,
between trees standing
side by side,
is not a collection of trees,
a forest,
teeming with purpose
and with life?

You Are as majestic
as the tree,
standing straight and tall,
sometimes you wish
to be solitary,
sometimes you wish
the support of all,
know that just like
a forest,
you have an integral
role to play,
being You,
part of All,
wholly Light
in every way.

Be you the shade,
or the shaded,
stretch your branches
far and wide –
ask for help
when you need it,
take turns giving
and receiving Light,
your roots are connected,
always together
with the Source of
All That Is –
stand tall,
beam of Light,
with the Strength
and Peace
of Love.

This Moment

20180428 XPicture

4/28/18

Can you learn from
a season,
from a month,
maybe a day,
from an hour
to a minute,
to this moment
with you now,
can you be patient,
taking care
of what you need
at present time –
can you be with
each moment,
as each one
unfolds,
might you be patient
with what unfolds
before you?

Might you miss
what is in front
of you,
if you are focused
too far ahead,
speculation is
very human,
as you work it out
within your head,
might you take note
from beloved pets
whose presence
brings you to
their moment now
and is not this
present moment,
the perfect time
to see,
to watch
your unfoldment –
unfolding in this perfect
Moment of Love?

Yes, the human world
requires planning,
but is it not easy
to get caught,
in every wheel turning
as you struggle
to keep up,
step off the wheel,
take a walk,
soak in the tub,
breathe in the air outside,
the ground,
the water,
the fresh air
can bring you back
to this moment now –
just as seedlings
are unfolding
after waiting patiently,
is not perfect timing
in this present
moment now?

Be present and patient
with unfolding,
marvel at the
Wonder of You.
Every moment
is a blessing,
when you are
filled with Gratitude.
Acknowledge every step
that has brought you
to this one now –
feel the ground,
take a deep breath,
Be Love
in this
moment now.

Everywhere

20180424 XPicture

Widen your horizons
or narrow your scope –
there is Love
in every direction,
there is much that
gives you hope,
is there not Love
in listening stillness,
can you not hear Love
within the noise,
as Love has no opposing
forces,
can you not sense Love
Everywhere?

Can you slow down
to contemplate,
to reflect upon
the depths of Love,
think of the ocean
diving
down
to see the mysteries there –
might time slow down
in the silence,
in the stillness
as you go deep,
is there not Love
throughout your
consciousness
and even when you
sleep?

And back on top
of the ocean,
might you visualize
traveling on a boat,
is it not exhilarating
to experience all that
you can see –
riding on the waves,
seeing all directions
in 360,
is Love not as vast
as the ocean,
full of infinite possibility?

You can experience Love
that surrounds you,
you can sense Love
deep within your bones,
as you expand
your awareness,
will you not find
Everywhere
is Home?
It matters not
if you go deep or wide,
is it not Love
that you will find –
let Love lead
your adventure,
buckle up
and enjoy the ride!

Tipping Into Love

20180423 XPicture

4/23/18

Where is the tipping point
for Love?

As human,
do you not experience
ebb and flow,
like the waves that roll
in and out,
like a spring season
that tries to manifest
warmth,
but returns to cool
even as the greening
continues,
do you not long for,
look for
and wait for
the “true” emergence
of spring,
do you not look
and wait for
the Peace
that comes with
the understanding
of Love?

And when you are in
this peaceful bliss,
as you remember
You Are
like the perfect
spring day,
might you realize
that Love is
not an expectant state,
it need not be
idyllic,
with no clouds
or rain,
does not Love
love every season
of life,
is there not Love
in each season
and in between?

Where is the tipping point
for Love?
Do you not fill up
to then spill over,
are you not in
a constant state
of change,
to experience daily
the Truth of
Who You Are,
there is an ebb
and flow
to this rhythm
of Life,
that is all about
discovering
and re-discovering You,
much like each season
that cycles through.

There is no true
beginning,
there is no end.
There is only Love
and Love Is You.
