Growing

20170916 XPicture

9/16/17

Grow where you are
planted,
thrive with what
comes your way,
soak up up what
speaks to you,
letting what does not
to pass through –
do you not know
what resonates
with the vessel
That Is You?

Be Where You Are.
Do not worry there
is somewhere else
to go,
or something else
you “need” to do,
let your roots
hold firm and steady,
breath in the air
that breathes You –
are you not growing
exactly Where
You Are
right now?

Is not where you are
planted,
a temporary place –
yes, you belong
to Mother Earth,
but are you not part
of the sun,
as you reach for
the sky,
do you not belong,
are you not One
with the Love
of All That Is?

Can you not grow
wherever you are
planted,
yes, placed here
with intention,
but You Are Everywhere
at once –
can you feel Gratitude
for the magnificent vessel
That You Are and
That Is You?

Take in what speaks
to you.
Resonate with what
moves you.
With Love surrounding you,
it is what breathes You.
Grow.
Be.
Flourish.
Thrive.
Love Is
Where You Are.

Starlight

Be a star.

Like the stars shining
in the sky,
can you brighten
up even
darkest night,
if one star fades
does not another
grow bright –
do they all not
twinkle their own
unique Light?

As stars appear to move
across the sky,
do not constellations
stay together,
even as they shift –
like them,
are you not
connected still,
even when your
perspectives change –
maybe looking at
the earth
from a different view?

Be a star.
You are a unique Light,
with your own
beautiful glow,
in a symphony of Light –
a shining One
part of the Whole,
you may move,
you may flicker,
but do you not
always shine
with the Light and Love
that flows through You?

You Are a perfect
Light that shines.
Sometimes the filter
of the earth
may obstruct your view,
but with eyes
of the heart,
do you not see
the Love
That Is You,
as you twinkle, twinkle,
beautiful Star?

Be a Star.
Shine your Light.
Beautiful Light.
Beautiful You.
You Are Light.
You Are Love.
Shine.

Resilient

Resilient.

Is not resilience
standing tall,
despite when you may
stumble or fall,
do you not find ways
to get back up,
to be flexible enough
to bend not break –
like the tree
when leaves or
branches fall,
does it not stay
grounded
standing tall?
Resilient.

Do you not weather
any storm
and find ways to
stay safe and warm,
even when turmoil
is high,
during times when
water or smoke
fill the sky –
with help,
with support,
do you not get through
anything Mother Nature
can throw at you?
Resilient.

Is it not in
the aftermath
that the good
comes out,
the helpers help –
after chaos’ fun
is through,
is it not the perfect time
for Gratitude,
to get back up
to let the healing begin,
to reconstruct,
to rejuvenate,
to rise from the ashes
once again.
Resilient.

Yes, you may prefer
for Peace to reign,
it can within the eye
of any storm –
but do you not
recognize your
Strength and Courage,
when life can batter
and throw you around –
do you not look within
You to see,
“I Am That and
All Is Well.”

And Who Are You?
You Are Love.
You Are Strength.
You Are Courage.
You Are Peace and
You Are Amazing.

Resilient.

Wings of Love

20170831 XPicture

8/31/17

A bird glides
in the air –
does it not
look like magic,
do you not long
to do the same –
to feel as if
floating on the air,
able to turn and soar,
into whatever direction
you wish to fly,
does not flying
give you a sense
of freedom –
is it of movement,
or the freedom
to move effortlessly
where you wish
to go?

But is there not
more that goes on,
with currents that lift
this winged marvel,
does bird not know
how to flow
with the air,
letting it lift,
as bird makes
only slight adjustments
to continue gliding –
until it is time
to use wings
that help bird
continue to fly?

And though you do not
have wings that fly,
do you not sense
a flow that guides you –
are there not times
when you can glide,
as the Flow of Love
lifts you up –
then are there not times
when you need
to reposition,
to make adjustments,
to find this flow?

Can you not visualize flying
like the bird –
with wings outstretched,
or by your side –
do you not have
beautiful Wings of Love
ready to lift you,
to help you fly?

You believe
that wings are magic,
do you not watch
birds and butterflies,
they know how to
catch the current,
when to use their wings,
and when to glide.

There is a Flow of Love
that surrounds you,
ready to lift you,
to help you glide –
when you are
ready to spread your
Wings of Love,
will Love not lift you,
so you may fly?

Can you flow in
the Current of Love,
it may feel effortless,
it may be hard –
but you have
all you need,
to navigate,
to be a part of
this unseen flow –
can you not adjust,
letting love reposition you,
to glide in this
Stream of Love?

Spread your
Wings of Love –
can you not sense
the Power That
You Are –
the Power that
helps you to let go,
to feel the Strength
within you take
You to where
You Are One
with Love?

Flow with Love.
Glide with Love.
Fly with Love.
Fly.

A World of One

20170830 XPicture

8/30/17

You may ask,
why does it take
hardship and pain
for help to come,
or why does
an event of nature
open up more
giving hearts –
than when life
circumstances deal
someone
an equally
devastating blow?

Do not forces of nature
strip away
beliefs and judgement –
do you not think,
if this could happen there,
could it not happen
anywhere –
when the cause
of a situation
is not judged
to be anyone’s “fault”,
are there not
more helpful hands
that are willing to
look past
predetermined thoughts?

With calamities of nature,
in the chaos,
in the strife,
in the vulnerability
that follows,
is there not help
that rushes in?
Why does it take
a stripping down
to one’s core,
to what is left –
for many others
to reach out,
to pick you up,
to lend a hand?

Even when a storm
is not raging,
when there are
peaceful skies above –
is there not a
fellow being
who at their core
is simply Love –
is there not help
that is needed,
a helping hand,
a supportive hug?

Can you see
who is hurting,
checking on what
might they need –
it may be material,
it may be understanding,
to look at Them
and past
what you see,
do not wait
for nature’s forces
to help you see
you All Are One –
can you be a
Force of Love,
for any neighbor
that you have,
on this World of One?

There is Strength
in vulnerability,
is this not when Courage
can shine through,
with Love can you help
your fellow being
That Is You –
you may look different,
you may not share
the same beliefs
and have different views,
but at your core –
do you not realize
you are he
and she is You?

Reach out.
Send Love.
Be Love.
Be You.

See You in All.
Help You.
With Love.

Riding Waves

20170827 XPicture

8/27/17

There is a rhythm
to energy.

Are not waves of
growth,
like the waves
on the ocean –
the water gathers,
building up
to a peak,
making its way
to the shore,
extending out
to the sand –
soaking in,
picking up,
then returning back
to the ocean again,
to wait for
the next wave
to begin.

Do you not sense
the rhythm
to waves of growth –
can growth not come in
with the power
of the biggest wave
threatening to crash
over you,
but do you not
ride this wave,
to see where you go,
soaking up what
is there
for you to see,
for you to know –
like the water
on the sand,
is there not an
exchange that takes place –
you absorb what
you need,
discard what
does not fit –
then like the wave,
return to calmer waters
once again?

Are there not times
when the waves
are big –
when forces unseen
combine to bring
waves of learning,
waves of growth –
do you not wish to be
in quiet waters –
still moving,
still growing,
but gently flowing
in a peaceful place?

You may be surprised
when you are in
rocky water,
or when the waves
look too big to ride,
but have you not learned
to paddle faster,
to reach the crest,
to enjoy the ride?

There is a rhythm
to energy,
there is an ebb and flow
that you feel in life –
you can ride the waves –
are you not the water,
when you reach the shore,
are you not the sand?

Can you let the
Energy of Love
carry you to
new adventures –
can you go with
the flow,
the rhythm,
that Love beats –
can you Trust
that you will learn,
to ride the waves,
can you have Faith
that you will always
return to Peace?

Keep moving,
keep growing –
be it fast or slow.
Sense the rhythm.
Let it take you.

Be Strength,
Be Courage.
Enjoy the ride.
Find your Joy
on the Waves of Love.

Step Out, Look Within

20170824 XPicture

8/24/17

Are there not times
when you feel
closed in,
when the walls
that you face,
block the view
outside –
is it not good
to see a different view,
to change the scenery
of what you see
everyday?

Might what you see
change how you look
at what is familiar –
have you stopped
seeing what is there –
does it not take
a fresh look,
to see beyond
what you expect
to see?

Might you step outside
to step in the grass,
or to feel the dirt
beneath your feet –
what are the leaves
doing,
are they still
or do they dance
to a breeze that blows
or is stagnant
in the heat?

When you look above
what is the color
of the sky,
what images do the
clouds
show you today –
there is movement,
something changing
all the time
outside –
how do you
wish to move
or wish to go
today?

You are limited
by your body –
you can only do
so many things,
but are you not
expansive energy
beyond your body,
beyond your mind –
can you open up
the doors
of the vessel
you are in –
to bring out
the Force of Love
that wants to play
and to explore?

You may feel
limited,
you may think
there are things
you cannot do –
but “doing”
is not the only
way to achieve
a certain goal.

When the goal
is to feel Love,
to feel the Peace
you know is there –
might you add Joy
to what you wish for,
who would not
wish to find Joy
somewhere?

In the presence
of your Be-ing,
can you not
Be with Love
and Peace –
is there not Joy
in the stopping
to smell the roses,
when you wish
to Be at One –
take time
to Be
with what feeds
your very Soul.

Be expansive.
Be curious.
See what
surrounds you
in a different light.
Turn up your Light.
There Is Love.
There Is Peace.
There Is Joy.
There Is You.

A Dance of Love

201700823 XPicture

8/23/17

When day turned night
and night turned day,
when moon eclipsed
the sun one day,
though only minutes
did it take,
did it not grab
the attention,
imagination,
and wonder
of a collective
consciousness –
that for a moment
were united in
a unified perspective
of where all stood
on the earth
as the moon
and the sun
played out their
cosmic dance
for so many
to see?

There are events
that bring people
together,
be it celestial in nature,
or a reaction to
a calamity,
or destructive force –
do you not
come together
when you step outside
of who you think
you are?

You ask,
why does it take
an event,
a wonder,
a rarity,
that may not
happen again
for hundreds of years,
to unite those who
look up at the sky
together,
but do not the
sun and moon
dance every day –
do you not stand
upon the earth
and look up
at the sky
at least one time
every day?

Is it not a moment
when you understand
there are things
greater than you –
yes, you are an
individual standing
upon the earth,
but are you not part
of the celestial dance, too?

Does not a collective
perspective
help you to see
that there is
so much more
that unites you all –
what is the great Uniter,
that all can share –
is not a celestial dance
dancing to Love?

Is it not Love
that can bring Light
to dark,
is it not Love
that makes you
marvel at the moon,
is it not Love
that brings You
to the earth,
is it not Love
that lives eternally on?

There need not be
a wonder,
to change your perspective.
You Are the wonder
that you seek.
May you dance with
the wonder of Love,
that you share with
everything
and everyone
that you see?

Be the Light
that unites
and amazes.
Be the Love
that you cannot help
but Be.

Dance to the
Power of Love
that aligns
You All to
the Love
and the Light
That You Are.

When Day is Night

IMG_5431

8/21/17

When moon aligns
with earth and sun,
casting shadow
on everyone,
there is anticipation
building up
to the moment
of eclipse,
when day is night
and night is day –
and light as you
know it disappears.
Even with a
cosmic event,
does not light
still emerge,
it cannot hide –
as dark and light
travel on
their separate ways?

But is there not
power,
in a collective experience,
when day is night,
and night is day,
might a hiccup in time,
provide time and space
for a collective mind
to be a shining Light,
when the “usual” light
had temporarily gone away?

Can you raise your
consciousness –
sending Light and
Love to All,
who may be standing
in the dark –
on this day
you may know
when darkness falls
upon the day,
but cannot
Love and Light
move shadow
any time,
in many ways?

Is not every day
a chance,
an opportunity,
to be the Light,
you need not wait
for a cosmic event
to be a Light
that shines,
when day is dark
or dark is day –
can you thank shadow
for showing you
what Light looks like
following the dark?

Let Light burn off
what you no longer need,
what does not serve you
in your greatest good –
can you emerge
from the dark –
rejuvenated
by the returning Light?

In any phase,
might you align,
with the Love
and Light
That You Are.

Shine your Light.
Shine your Love.
Day or night –
Shine.

Signal of Love

IMG_5360

8/17/17

In the dark,
while in flight,
does not a bat
send out a signal,
to paint a picture
of the night –
as vibration is sent out,
to return
with information,
does not Bat
use other means
than its eyes,
to “see”
what is there?

Do you not
send and receive
many signals
that help give you
information –
do you not wonder
at times,
what is the picture
that you paint?

When signals cross,
or intersect,
colliding with each other –
if out of sync,
might the picture
look different
to many eyes?

What type of signal
might you send
to get the clearest picture,
If you wish to see
a picture framed
in Love –
might the vibration
you put out
be resonant
with Love?

In the chaos
or confusion
of energies,
of signals crossed –
do you not search
for a signal,
a homing device,
that aligns you
to the Truth
of Who You Are?

Can not a
Signal of Love
guide you through
the darkest night –
as you tune in
to your ever-present
Frequency of Love?

When what you see
makes no sense,
might you tune
into your heart,
to be guided
by the Signal of Love
that flows
through You?

Can you be
a laser Light,
cutting through
with clarity,
so you may see
what is your Truth,
what is in your heart –
what picture do
you paint,
with your
Signal of Love?

Beam your Light.
Send out your
Signal of Love.
Do not others
resonate with the
Frequency of Love?

Yes, it may be
dark and difficult,
for some to see
this Light –
but as All Are Love,
can you keep
sending out
your Signal of Love?

Let Love go
to where it
needs to be.

Even when you doubt.
Even when it is
hard to see.
All Is Well.
There Is Light.
There Is Love.
