Expanding to Peace

When your human side
feels scattered,
when daily tasks
begin to build,
you may wish
to retreat
into solace,
and withdraw from what
ego wants you
to feel,
but is there not
another path
to Peace,
you may need stillness
to sense it there –
but when you expand
your Awareness,
is there not room
for All, there?

You need not run
and hide from ego,
that comes knocking
at your door,
there may be lessons
learned
by bumping into
a closed door,
and when you can
expand your view
and look with the
Eyes of the Soul,
when you rise above
the details,
is there not more
that you will know?

See from a bigger picture,
there is Peace when
you accept with
open arms,
when you close up
and push back,
do you not feel
smaller
and not as strong –
expand the You
that has this
covered,
with Strength and Courage
can you trust
to see,
that All is so
that you may
see the Love
in All you see.

Expand
when you
contract,
let Love
keep showing You
the way.
There is Peace
that resides
within you,
Love Is Here
in All ways,
Always.

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.

A Healing Quilt

Love can mend
any tear,
Love can fill an
empty space,
it matters not
the why
or where –
Love Is There.

Love creates,
Love is the thread
that stitches
the pieces together
again,
Love is healing,
bringing comfort –
Love Is There.

Wrap yourself
in Love’s healing
quilt,
feel the assurance
that All Is Well,
in the quiet,
in the still –
Love Is always,
always There.

Rhythm

Movement.
Stillness.
Is there not a rhythm
when you move,
then pause,
step forward,
reflect.

There is an
ebb and flow
of
human and soul,
the yin and yang,
in the Balance of Life.

And beyond duality,
that helps you
to see,
to experience,
to reflect
on All That You
can Be –
There Is Love,
with its rhythm,
its beat,
no opposite
to find
only Love
that you can see
and feel
and sense
and
Is That Not You –
always,
always –
Always Love.

A Call to Love

When you connect
with Love,
the Truth of
Who You Are,
do not Strength and
Courage
step forward to
welcome you,
they are always
by your side,
you need not beckon
them to
come through,
are they not hand-in-hand
with Love,
as You Are, too?

Is there not Joy
when you release
the bonds of fear,
are you not set free,
from beliefs that
cloud your view,
is not Joy always ready
to dance,
to play,
to sing,
when you find your voice,
can you not find Joy
in everything?

And with Gratitude
in your heart,
for each experience
big or small,
are you not grateful
to find Love
woven in
throughout it All,
some may be a gift,
sometimes the gift
is You,
when you discover
your true nature –
You Are the Love
that Loves You.

Let Peace lead you
to stillness,
let stillness
lead to Peace,
are you not Peace
when you feel
your innate essences
helping you fly free,
call on One
or call on All –
they answer always
to a Call to Love,
you have the power,
can you feel it,
You Are always,
always,
Love.

Comfort

Find a room that
is safe and warm,
where Love is the
comfort worn,
like a soft blanket
you can wrap around,
in the quiet,
Love is the only sound,
where is this room
you may ask,
intrigued,
it resides in the heart
of You and Me.

Who Are You
and what do you know
of Love?
I Am You
and all that you
dream of –
you can meet Love
in any room you
wish to be,
by loving You,
may you Love All
that you see,
nurture this space
where you can truly
Be –
You, feeling loved,
Be-ing Free.

Find a room
where you invite others
in,
share this space
where Love is what’s
happening,
do not worry if it
overflows,
Love always knows exactly
where to go,
there is no limit
to what Love can
connect you to.

Any space with Love
is safe and warm,
connect,
build on
to any dwelling
you live in,
your heart,
your breath,
is what Love builds here,
but Love lives on
be it Here
or be it There –
in the quiet,
listen softly to
its Truth –
Love is All
There Is
and Love Is You.

Patience

Patience.

Patience may feel
like you are waiting,
but is it not
accepting
of the next thing
that is part of –
the Flow of
All That Is,
does not patience
bring you to
All Is Well?

Does not patience
help you Be in
this moment now,
you can still create,
move freely,
but without expectation
that makes you
hurry,
does not patience
help you savor
All That Is?

Patience need not be
a waiting game,
does it not allow
you to Be,
present with what
presents itself
lovingly,
does not patience
help you be
where you wish
to Be?

Be patient.
Be present.
All Is Well
with All That Is.
You Are present
as in each moment
You Are Love.

Here Is Love

20180806 XPicture

When you look outside
at nature,
seeing the beauty
that it brings,
it is not hard
to find it –
Here Is Love.

When a loved one
smiles at you,
your eyes meet
in mutual thought,
you can feel it
as you see it –
Here Is Love.

When you hold the door
for a stranger,
catch their eye
as acknowledgement
is shared,
when you see each other
as fellow humans –
Here Is Love.

When you are triggered
by news or stories,
as you go within to
find the button pushed,
is it not you who
is asking for it –
and Here Is Love.

The more you Love
all aspects of you,
accept and allow
giving you room
to breathe,
is each breath
not a mantra
that tells you –
Here Is Love.

Whether you look outside
or within,
when you do not know
where to begin,
start at the Truth
and repeat again –
Here Is Love.

You Are Here.
You Are Love.
Here with
and loving you
always
Is Love.

Holy You

Set your intentions,
but keep the “how-to”s
open to the flow,
what you thought
something should look like,
may be different
from what you know,
keep moving with
a Loving Direction,
that helps to uncover
where you can Ultimately
Be –
is not each moment
That You Are Love,
does this not feel
so heavenly?

Yes, pursue your
earthly passions,
the things that
Light you up and
make your heart sing,
when you are in
congruence
with your soul’s purpose,
are you and your soul
not a perfect Team,
watch the synchronicities
beckon to you,
showing you are on
the right track,
but is not any Road
to Love,
one you take Joyfully
with no turning back?

Be balanced in your
endeavors,
with human and soul
playing side by side –
one will compliment
the other,
neither one “needing”
to be right,
it is the experience
that you long for,
resonating with
All of You –
and as you Love
each part of you,
dear one,
do you not step
wholly
into the holiness
of You?

Set your intention
to Love You
wholly,
through and through –
Holy Love
is your birthright,
You Are Love
as Love Is You.

A Moment of Love

20180720 XPicture

7/20/18

What is the hurry?
Where is the rush?
Might your self-imposed
perception
of time suggest
there is not enough –
in a finite, linear world,
time feels as precious
as gold,
but can you live in
each precious moment,
to see the miracles
unfold?

What might you miss,
looking ahead,
looking back,
not be-ing totally
here,
might you miss
savoring a taste
of summer’s fruit,
blackberries that grow
so very near,
might you miss
when first birdsong begins,
or when wood thrush
sings its last note,
throughout this day,
can you tune in –
savoring how a moment
unfolds?

Returning to now,
returns you to You –
as you go within
are you not there,
when you feel lost
or stretched too thin,
can you not find You
anywhere?
Pull up this moment,
see yourself,
in this Reflection of Love –
and in return,
are you not shining,
in this beautiful
Moment of Love?

Pick any minute,
to find this moment,
it is a gift for you
anytime.
Behold this gift
and brightly shine
this loving Moment
of Love.
