You walk along
a darkened path
with a flashlight
in your hand –
the small beam
of light cuts
through the darkness,
enough that you can see
where your next step
may be,
as you cautiously
follow the light.
And do you not think,
“This would be easier
if I only had more light?”

So on your next trek
through the darkened path –
you now carry a
bigger light
and now you can see
further along
and around the path –
you are walking with
greater ease,
no longer worried
that you may take
a misstep or
to lose your way.

And with this bigger light –
you are now able
to see others
walking around you –
carrying their
beaming lights –
and you see that
if all shine their lights
together,
do the beams not combine
to illuminate more
of the path
that you are all
walking along?
And yet – do you not all think,
“This would be easier
if we only had more light?”

And then – at the break of dawn,
does not a greater light appear –
the sun arises on a new day,
bringing light so all may see –
illumining what is
always there –
be it dark or light?

And do you not realize
you can spend your time
hoping and waiting
for more light to come
to shine the way
so you may see,
but do you not have
within You,
all the Light you need?

And when you shine
your Light of Love –
illuminating exactly
where You Are –
is this not the perfect
place to Be?

And is not the Light
you shine,
the perfect Light
to show the way –
as you walk with
greater ease,
knowing you will
not lose your way?

And with each of You
shining your Lights of Love –
are you not already
connected by the Light
that flows through All?
The Light and Love
of All That Is,
is all you need
to walk along
any path that comes
your way.

There Is Light.
There Is Love.
There You Are.

Walk on
with Light.
Walk on.

The Strength Within

Wherein lies your inner Strength?

Do you not see strength
in the physical world,
in how strong a person is,
based upon might
or physical force,
and does not “being strong”
often mean to be quiet,
holding emotions in,
being stoic,
keeping a distance
from feelings that may
burst from a dam?

But is it not inner Strength
that helps you to rise
every morning,
is it not Strength
that brings you hope,
in the dark
or light of day,
do you not touch
your inner Strength
when you carry on,
when you persevere –
does not your Strength
keep you going,
as is this not
an expression of Love?

Does not Strength
come with energy,
when you need it most,
it is not tied
to earthly needs
of sleep,
or food,
or rest –
when Love fills your
heart,
when you sense
that You Are Love –
can you not feel Strength
begin to rise,
do you not believe
in the Strength of Love –
can you believe
You Are That, too,
is that not your
inner Strength?

Embrace every emotion.
Accept your human-ness.
There is a driving force
within your heart,
that pulls you up,
that is your Strength,
feel your power,
sense your Love –
are you not a fierce
Warrior of Love,
standing in the Truth
of Who You Are?

Be Strength.
Be Courage.
Be the strong Love
That You Are.
Let your inner Strength
shine on the outer you.
Amazing.
Powerful.
Love.

Be Fearless

Be fearless.

As you drop,
slough off,
what you no longer need,
as you see what may
be weighing you down,
is there not a lift,
a lightness when,
like a snake,
you shed your skin,
what you are now
may not look like
you then –
Be fearless.

Are there cords,
are you attached,
to scripts
that unfold
like a play –
things do not have
to play out
in a certain way,
can you break free
from a mold
that keeps you hidden,
dimming your light –
Be fearless.

Can you take a chance,
try something new,
move toward the unknown
with great delight,
might you not know
that you have wings,
until you leap
and then take flight –
is there not freedom,
is there not Joy,
“I wish I may,
I wish I might” –
is it not time
to get your wish –
Be fearless.

Let go of expectations
that may constrict
what freedom looks like,
“Oh, I must do this!”
Let Joy take you
by the hand,
with a heart full of Love,
does it not expand,
do you not rise,
can you now fly –
Be fearless.

Be Joy.
Be Courage.
Be Kind
to You.

Be fearless
in the Love
That You Are.

A Balance of Love

20171212 XPicture

Balance.

And is life at times
like a balancing act
on a big round ball –
there are times
when both feet
are firmly planted,
but when the ball rolls,
do you sometimes scramble
to stay on top,
to not fall down,
do you not feel
as if the ball
initiates the movement,
with you following
its lead,
working to keep up,
seeking to find
the balance to
stop,
relax
and breathe?

Would it not help
if there was a string,
a cord,
that could help
hold you up,
to give you something
to hold on to,
pulling you up
above the ball,
so that you would not
be as affected
by the rolling,
the tumbling
of a ball,
that sometimes knocks
you off your feet?

Is there not always
a golden cord
that is always at
your fingertips,
that keeps you
connected
to All That Is,
is this not loving support
that can lift you up
just enough at times
to give you a break,
to see that
your balancing act
need not be in charge
of Who You Are –
with clearer eyes,
might you see
a different way
to find balance,
to Be?

Does not the ball
that you balance on,
help you find what works
or what you no longer need –
when in doubt,
or when you
take a tumble,
remember the cord,
your connection to Source
and remember that you are
always Loved and supported.

You Are every strand
that makes up this cord.
You Are the Love
and support
of All That Is.
Does this awareness
not let you feel
the Strength and Courage
to find balance in
the balancing act
of the School of Life?

With awareness,
with intention –
there is no need to look
to find the cord –
feel the connection,
sense the Love.

You Are Always
connected to Love.

The Magic of Love

12/01/17

Find a way.
Forge ahead.
You can create
as you can dream.
If one way doesn’t work,
then simply try
another way.
There is energy
in creating,
there is magic
when you create
from Love –
can you let Love
move you forward,
can you follow
the pull of Love?

When movement stops,
when you feel stagnant
or when you are
running from your fears,
might you feel pushed,
mights steps feel sticky,
do you not wish to
be in the flow,
do you not become
empowered,
when Love can Light
your way,
is not co-creating
with Love
a magical way
to go through
your day?

Find a way,
let Love help,
let Love inspire
and create anew –
does not Love
give you fresh eyes,
might new ideas
come sifting through –
your human mind
is good at solving
and resolving where
you have been,
but is there not Freedom
when you follow your heart,
when you tell Love –
let Us begin?

You are a creation
from Love,
are you not a miracle
to be here –
as Love is your Essence,
can you tap into
your Strength,
does your heart
not soar,
when you connect
with All of You –
when you create
from Love,
do you not honor
Who You Are?

And Who Are You?
Yes, there is the question
and the answer
will lead you Home.
You Are Love,
created with Love
and Love you will
always Be.

Find a way.
Forge ahead.
Dream of Love.
Live the Dream.
As You Are Love,
the magic is You.
You need only
to Believe.

Fully Love

As you are grounded
in mother earth,
your roots grow deep,
surrounding,
holding on
to rocks and dirt,
do you not sense
the history of
ancestral lines,
experiencing life,
connected by these
roots so strong –
is there not Strength
that rises up
from the very dirt
they walked upon?

And like the tree
that rises up,
as you look above
and feel yourself there –
beyond the stars and moon
that you see,
beyond the bright blue sky
and shining sun,
do you not sense the presence
of familial ties
connected by
the Power of Love?

Is your heart not
a bridge,
much like the strong
trunk of a tree,
an intersection
between ground and sky
and do not the branches
of this “family tree”
spread out and encompass
so much more?

As you are part
of the Family of Love,
are you not connected
to All That Is,
from the ground
you walk upon,
to the air that you breathe,
from each tree that sways
in the unseen wind,
to the energy
that breathes you
with Love you cannot see,
but feel within
your very Be-ing,
do you get a sense
of the Love That You Are –
part Here,
part There,
and fully Love?

Be Strength
as an intersection
of Love.
Be Courage
as you walk
upon the earth.
Be Love
as You Are part
of All That Is.

Wholly.
Holy.
Love.

Keep it simple.

Amazing Love

“. . . was lost,
but now
I’m found . . . ”

And do not these words
from a familiar hymn
speak to an awareness,
a knowing of one’s self,
but might we remind you,
you are never really
“lost?”

Is not feeling lost
an element of
a human perspective,
an orienting
to time and space,
when familiar to your
surroundings,
you may feel at home,
when much around you
appears different,
do you not sometimes
feel lost?

When going through
many changes,
you may not recognize
yourself,
or might you get “lost”
in layers of story
and beliefs?

What part of you
seeks to be seen,
to be found,
be made aware –
what feels like home,
what honors All
That You Are –
can you find
that place of knowing,
the sweet spot
that Is You –
that once was lost
but now is found,
is it not Love
that leads you Home?

As you strip away
the layers
to find the Truth
of Who You Are,
your Love shines brightly,
when you peel away
the story that surrounds you,
with clearer eyes
can you see
how amazing
you truly are –
“was blind,
but now
I see . . .”

With Grace,
with Strength and Courage,
You Are Always,
Always Love.

Never lost,
always found.
There You Are!
You Are Home.

Simply Love

Leaves have fallen,
the trees are bare,
but is there not
a stark beauty
in seeing what makes
a tree,
a tree?

With nothing hidden,
can you now see
through branches
that with leaves
may have obscured
your view,
do not trees at
the edge of winter
look vulnerable,
branches stripped down,
without the lushness
of their leaves?

But when fall winds
begin to roar,
do not trees still sway,
so they will not break,
do they not stand
in their strength,
not afraid to display
what they are made of,
as they wait patiently,
knowing when spring arrives,
new growth will emerge
to be seen?

Is there not a clarity
of vision,
when fall turns cold,
when crisp and clear
sharpens what you see,
is there not a simplicity
when you strip down
to what is the Essence
at your core,
what makes you stand
in your Truth,
not thinking about
what others might see,
is there not a stark beauty
when you display
the You in every season,
showing the Love
That You Are?

Is not the simple
Truth of You,
that you are Wholly
made of Love –
there are times when you
may wish to hide
behind what covers up
what is inside,
but is it not time
to reveal
Who You Are –
to let your Shining Light
be seen near and far?

Stand straight and tall
in your Truth.
Stand in the
magnificent beauty
That You Are.
With clarity
may you stand and
Be the Love That You Are.

Simply Love.
Simply Light.
Simply You.

Walk With Love

Walk with Love.

Each step you take
be it short or long,
no matter the surface
you walk upon,
it may be rocky,
it may be smooth –
when you are
stepping into your Truth,
you do not ever
walk alone,
walk with Love.

You may skip,
you may dance,
or you may carry burdens
that weigh you down,
does Love not show
you the way,
giving you the means
to take one more step –
do you not get
into a rhythm
when you
walk with Love?

So much of life
is about change,
transitioning from
here to there –
each path,
each bridge
can take you to
another space
of You –
no need to say hello
or say goodbye,
as you are always,
always Home –
are you not at Home
when you
walk with Love?

You may look back
to where you were,
you may look ahead
to see what is next –
but are you not
Where You Are
right here,
right now –
does Love not hold
your hand,
when you walk
with Love?

“Lead me,
guide me” –
can you ask Love now?
The Love in You
knows what to do
as you walk with Love.

Each step.
Each breath –
is the Miracle of You.

Walk with Joy.
Walk with Peace.
Walk with Strength and Courage.
Walk with Gratitude.
Walk with Humility.
Walk with Love.
