In the Quiet

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 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.

Relax

10/29/17

“You can relax now.”

A beautiful line
in a heart-centered song –
and does not the word
* relax *
allow you to let go,
to take a breath,
to know that you
need not “do”
anything but
breathe,
allow,
Be.

Is it not your thoughts
that bring to mind
the notion that if
you do not “work”
so very hard,
that you may not see
or experience
what you expect
should happen –
is there not
a lot of effort
that adds to the clutter
of your mind –
can you let go,
allow,
trust –
yes, you can relax now.

And a relaxed,
receptive state,
is not a void,
is not emptiness –
does it not allow
for room,
for space,
for your natural
State of Love
to flow in?

There will always
be rocks,
or boulders that fall
into a sparkling creek,
but does not the water
know where to flow –
if not through,
it finds ways around –
what once were obstacles,
are they not part
of the character of
the flowing creek ,
do not rock and water
work together
to form an oasis of Peace?

You can relax now.

There is Peace
in the allowing.
There is Trust
in Love.
You need not work
to find this state.

Trust.
Allow.
Relax.
Breathe.

Relax into the
Love That You Are.
You can.
You Are –
Love.

A Space of Love

Making Space.

Is it not hard
to visualize
a space where
no-thing is?

As you live
in a world
where space
and time
appear to exist –
is there not space
to hold the space
where You exist?

And is this not
the paradox
of time and
space –
that you are
no-where
and every-where
at once?

Yes.

As you breathe,
the Breath of Life,
do you not exist
between each breath,
do you not fill
this sacred space
that you are not
able to see?

Do you now see
that there is
no need
to make space
for you to fit in –
are you not One
with All That Is –
beyond space,
beyond time?

Is it not Love
that moves you beyond
the limited spaces
that make it hard to see,
as you expand
your awareness
that You Are Love
and Love Is You –
is there really
no other space
to Be,
than to Be
the Presence of Love?

You can make space
or make time,
but can you Be Love
and Be everywhere
that Love Is?

With each breath
and in between,
You Are Sacred,
You exist –
always in
the Space of Love.

Being Present

10/17/17

Be present today.

And as each moment
of any day
is a Gift of Love,
can you Be Love
in any second,
minute or hour,
as the day unfolds –
can you Be
a Gift of Love
by Be-ing in the
presence of
All That Is –
by Be-ing You,
by Be-ing
present today?

You have lists
to make sure
that you are where
you need
to be,
to do,
yes, you take comfort
in planning
to make sure
that all is well,
as you cross your “t”s
and dot your “i”s –
but can you
take comfort
that there is a
Flow of Love
that surrounds
any plans you make –
is it not in this Love
That All Is Well –
no matter the plan,
the “what to do”,
as you center
into You,
as You Are Present
in this moment
Now –
hello, are you
present today?

And is not presence
showing up
into the awareness
of Who You Are –
it is not
tuning out,
or withdrawing into,
or stepping away –
is not Be-ing present
stepping into the Love
that connects you
to All That Is –
in the realization
that you are not alone
as you walk through
this Journey of Life –
that You Are supported,
You Are Loved –
every step of the way?

Is this not the awareness
that you seek to find –
does it not dwell
in this moment,
as You Are present
this second,
this minute,
can you Be present,
Be-ing the Presence of Love
right now?

You Are a present.
You Are a
Gift of Love.
Open your gifts.
Be Who You Are.
Be Present in the
Love That You Are.

In this moment,
beyond time –
You Are Limitless
Love.

Walk With Love

20170918 XPicture

9/18/17

Find your own path.
Walk with Love.
Let Love show you
the way.

There are times
when you are unsure,
asking what direction
shall you turn,
when questions form,
the answers are there –
let Love show you
the way.

If you feel that
you are drifting,
not as grounded,
feeling disconnect –
feel the Love
from the earth
flow through you
as you walk –
let Love show you
the way.

You may feel lost
and on your own,
feeling a void
that feels empty
or gone,
is that not a space
to ask Love in,
to remind you that
you never walk alone –
let Love show you
the way.

You are always
connected
to Love,
Divine Source –
are you not Love
incarnate
right now?
Walk the path
you are on,
each step you take
is walking with Love,
as You Are Love,
let Love show you
the way.

Each step
with Love
is the perfect way.
May you feel
Peace
when you walk
with Love.

You Are
your path.
Walk with Love.
Let Love
show You
the way.

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.

Going Up

20170822 XPicture

8/22/17

An elevator
can take you up
to different floors
where you can look
at the street below –
does not your
perspective
change the way,
change the view
that you see?

When at the level
of a crowded street,
are you not
in the midst of
the hustle and bustle
of everyday life –
it is easy to be
affected
by what you
see and hear
in the noisiness
and din,
as energies collide –
when it gets too
crowded,
do you not
look for quiet space?

The elevator rises,
taking you to another
floor –
when you look out
the window,
seeing the busy street
below,
more removed from
the crowded street,
do you not experience
a different view –
do you not understand
what is going on
without being jostled
or in a reactive mode?

Take the elevator higher,
now look out
from high above –
is what is happening
on the street
not as important
as you look out,
seeing what lies
beyond the street,
as you have changed
your perspective,
your view –
are you now
able to listen
to the quiet
of this space?

Yes, your mind
will want to fill in
with noise that it
is used to hearing –
does not your ego
crave the chaotic
hustle and bustle
of the street?

But as you are
as multi-dimensional
as a building with
many floors –
might you visit,
might you change,
the floor that you
are standing on –
to get a different
perspective
from the many
venues that you
have access to,
that you live on?

Does an elevator
not help you to shift,
what you focus on,
what you can see –
can you not shift
your perspective
at any place,
at any time?

You need not leave
the building,
you are part of
every floor –
you are the roof,
the sky above,
there is no place
you cannot Be –
a shift occurs,
for you to experience
All of You –
and as You Are One
with All That Is –
there is no limit
to You.

Be on the street,
experience it all,
but when you need
a different view,
to find some quiet,
to feel the Peace,
you have the means
to take you there.

All you need
resides in You.
Take a ride up
on the elevator
to the many floors
of your consciousness.

Shift.
Look.
Listen.
There Is Peace.
There Is Love.
There Is You.

Pause For Love

IMG_5336

8/16/17 – I am traveling early today, so please take in this message from last November – one day after the election. It feels pertinent still.

11/09/16

Pause for Love.

And yes,
as like a recording
of a story,
a piece of news,
the playing out
of a loved one’s life,
are there not
many times
when you wish
to press pause –
to take a break,
to take a breath,
to be in a moment –
to Pause for Love?

And as you pause –
is there not
always this
flowing energy,
this Signal of Love
that does not stop,
or pause,
as Love Is
All That Is?

And as you
Pause for Love,
do you not sense
the loving support
that is available
to You always,
as no-thing
can interfere
with Love?

Yes, there are
times when
interference
can disrupt
the signal
in your eyes –
when you
feel the need
to Pause for Love.

But as Love Is
always present –
ever-lasting
with no beginning
and with no end –
do you see
there is no need
to pause,
to stop,
or take a break,
to take a breath,
as in every moment
in every breath
There Is –
You Are
Love?

Be a Signal of Love.
Be Strong
with this Signal
that no-thing
can interfere with.

As You Are
a signal,
a beacon
of Love and Light
may this be seen
by any
who need to
Pause for Love.

Always Eternal Love.

A State of Balance

20170809 XPicture

8/09/17

Amidst the greatest turmoil,
is there still not Peace?

As a pendulum
swings ever greater,
does it not pass
through the center,
even as each end
moves aways from balance –
is its natural state
not one of being
centered,
still,
balanced,
at Peace?

Yes, the arc
of a swinging
pendulum
can go from
one extreme
to the other,
but is there not
a natural force
in place
that pulls it back –
to achieve balance,
to find its center,
is not the pendulum’s
normal state –
one of stillness,
one of Peace?

Is not your natural
State of Balance,
one that you
look for,
that you seek –
when forces around you
take you to
one extreme
or the other –
yes, you are aware
of the wide swings
that experiences bring
on this earth.

But is it not
an opportunity
for you to see
where the edges lie,
so you may know,
where is your center,
where is your natural
State of Balance –
do you not know it
when you return,
to meet You
at your center?

Can you be a
Magnet of Peace?

Will you not,
in your natural
State of Be-ing,
as you find
your balance,
as you find
your Peace,
as you feel the
magnetic pull –
will you not add
to the balance
of a collective mind,
that is searching
for its natural
State of Be-ing,
is it not within all –
as you seek Peace,
will you not
find Love?

Is Love not
at the center,
where there
is Peace –
it may be hard
to find it when
the arc moves
from one extreme
to the other –
but as you
become your center,
do you not become
a magnet for Peace,
a magnet for Love?

Be part of the energy
that cannot help
but return,
back to center,
back to Peace –
there is a balance
that returns,
when you return
to You,
remembering Who You Are.

What can you do?
You cannot help but Be.

Center.
Balance.
Peace.
Love.
Return.
Remember.
Love.
