Faith and Grace

Yes, there are times
you feel uncertain,
you dig your heels
into the ground,
if you cannot see
all of the outcomes,
you may wish to skip
what is coming around,
but does not Faith
arrive to lift you,
is there not Grace
beneath your wings,
has Love not brought
you Here,
so very capable
of amazing things?

Accept the next steps
that move you forward,
wherever that may be,
Love walks with you
every step,
Love is beckoning you
to believe,
with Faith come possibilities,
with Grace, do you not allow
yourself to Be
an instrument of Source,
playing your song
so joyfully?

Let Faith move you
ever forward,
and with Grace
may you humbly
receive,
is this not Love’s
perfect balance,
human and soul
together,
perfectly?

Let Faith give you
Strength,
let Grace allow
you to Be,
with Humility
may you surrender,
and with Love
set yourself free!

Stretch

Stretch yourself,
reach for the sky,
might you be able
to touch the stars,
and why should that
be a surprise?
There is stardust
in your makeup,
as you are One
with All That Is,
embrace your innate
power,
You Are a Creator
in All of This.

Feel your expansiveness,
release your limits
and set yourself free,
be aware of how
your “what ifs”
can hide the truth
of all you can
Be.

There is a Light
within you shining,
ready to share
the Love You Are –
as you shine your
loving Light,
will others not see
their own bright star?

Stretch yourself,
it may be uncomfortable
at first,
but as you stretch
your loving muscles,
will they not take you
to your truth?

You are as eternal
as the cosmos,
you are beyond
what you can see,
do not limit what
you can do,
as you stretch to
All that you
can Be.

Learning to Fly

Prepare.
Let go.

This may appear
to be a paradox,
but yet as human
and soul,
do you not prepare
for the ego
and with soul’s nudges,
let go?

You all have
inherent gifts,
that rise up to
be seen and
heard,
might you develop
your innate treasures,
not unlike a
baby bird?

A baby bird
develops feathers
while it is nested
high and dry,
receiving gifts,
building strength
and nourishment,
waiting for when
the time is
right.

And when it is
ready
to try wings out,
yes, bird might be
hesitant,
but is it not
its innate purpose
to spread its wings
and leave the
nest?

Once you recognize
your purpose,
it may be one
or maybe a few,
deep within you is
a calling
that rises up when
you hear You,
when your heart
fills with Joy,
when you cannot
not answer back –
you know then you
are ready
to spread your wings,
knowing Love has
your back.

Prepare.
Let go.
Repeat this often
as you live –
two sides of You
working together,
to create,
to Be
a loving Gift.

Winds of Change

When winds of change
blow in your direction,
do you sometimes
steel yourself
against the shift,
you may resist
changing your perspective,
ego does not want
to change any
of this.

When you look around
in any direction,
yes, you may see
how far you have
come,
but when you truly
shift your human
perspective,
is that not when
you realize,
You Are always
One?

The human side of you
may make big changes,
even small things
can make you
sweat,
but your soul
is always steady –
ready to be with you
if you will let,
you need not prove
anything to your
True Essence,
is Love not a constant
that you sometimes
forget?

Yes, change happens
often at the surface,
but when you dive down
deeper, still –
here is your familiar,
your ever-present,
Love is always available
to your free will.

When branches sway
in the winds of change,
you are always held
by the Trunk of Love –
let your roots
be strong,
let Love remind you –
You Are always You
and Here is where
you belong.

Yes!

Say yes to Love.

Why drag your feet
or put on the brakes,
do not let fear and
doubt
get in the way,
open up to the
you
that wishes to
play,
say yes to
You,
say yes to
Love.

You cannot control
what happens next,
but you can figure out
which way is best,
when you live your
Truth,
will Love not sort
out the rest –
say yes to
You,
say yes to
Love.

Do not let doubt
find a way to
doubt you,
tell fear that you
have better things
to do,
be inspired by all
that you have experienced
Be-ing You –
say yes to
You,
say yes to
Love.

When you are
challenged,
is this not for
you,
to help you see
there is always
a way through,
through thick
or thin,
Love is always
with you –
you say yes to
Love,
when you say yes
to You.

Gift yourself with
what you are
made of –
say yes to
You,
say yes to
Love.

Riding Waves

12/18/18

You see how vast
is the ocean,
are you not in awe
of the power
it holds,
it reaches from one
shore to another,
so wide you cannot
see where it ends,
its depths are still
a mystery,
is it not another world
the ocean has
within?

Might you imagine
you are the ocean,
with surface waves
that are affected
by the shore,
weather,
currents
can stir you up,
on sunny, calm days
you are peaceful
once more.

At your depths
are you not part
of another world,
not affected
by what happens above,
is there not a stillness,
a place for reflection,
a chance to sense
your innate qualities
of Love?

It may be a challenge
to sense your vastness,
how deep and wide
your Essence does reach,
you may think you
are a drop of water,
but you are the
ocean
and you are every
beach.

You are the waves
of choppy water,
you are the deep
stillness that
balances the flow –
do not limit yourself
as you are limitless,
though you may
not always know.

Sense the Strength
in your very Be-ing,
do not fear
how powerful
you are –
let Love be the
boat that carries
you,
in every moment,
be it near
or be it far.

Ride the waves
that are on the
surface,
feel the stillness
that runs deep
within you,
a drop
or the entire
ocean,
You Are One –
with All of Love
within You.

Wellspring

You need not
clear a space
for your true
Essence
to appear,
you are always
You,
so very loved
and o so dear.

Your heart knows
this truth,
when you trust,
allow and
let go –
is not the challenge
for you to accept
all of the Love
that dwells within
your soul?

You need not
populate you,
with your hopes
and dreams
that you wish
to find,
do not your dreams
come from a place
within,
through are they not
questioned
by your mind?

Yes, it is difficult
to turn off
the doubts ego uses
to keep you small,
but are these not
drowned out by
the song of
your heart,
rising above it
all?

You need look
no farther
than from the
wellspring of
Love within,
you have Everything
within you –
trust in you
and dive in!
