The Rhythm of Love

7/27/18

Be flexible,
Be adaptable –
does not energy
move in waves,
much like the ocean tide
with its ebb and flow,
is there not motion
in the rhythm,
that it creates?

You may move forward,
step back to pause,
as inspiration pulls
you forward again,
yes, your footprints
that you left
may have been erased
by moving sand,
but you are
constantly creating
with every step
that you take,
let your steps
carry you forward,
being present with
each footprint
that you make.

You make a difference
Be-ing You,
a magnificent expression
of Who You Are,
each step you take
with Love
honors you
as it honors All,
life is not about
what you leave
or what you wish
you could do –
life is about
Who You Are
right now,
in every moment –
Love Is, too.

Keep flowing like
the waves
that remind you
of the power of –
each drop in the ocean
is like everyone
of You
combined in Love,
some days you need
to crash upon
the shore
to be heard,
some days are you not
content being quiet
and reserved?

Be flexible,
Be adaptable –
like the sand
and ocean’s waves,
working together,
creating beauty,
both the same
and changing
everyday.

As Love is
your constant rhythm,
celebrate the Love
You Are today.

Living Truth

Live your Truth,
in the moment
of any day,
you can announce it
to the world,
or you can honor it
in your own way,
is not your Truth
an innate compass,
that points you in
a direction to serve –
serving Love,
serving Truth,
and thus serving You?

Is it not a magical
combination,
when you step in
line with your soul,
is there not Peace
in the alignment,
when parts of You
make up the Whole,
yes, you search
for the bigger picture,
but do not leave behind
the human you,
surround you
with Love and kindness,
are You not an explorer
in this search for Truth?

Live your Truth,
it may look different
in the day to day,
when you serve
a Greater Good,
do not the ripples of Love
go about their way?
Build up your inner knowing
that Love is the
answer to All things,
let Love guide you
as you live your Truth
in the moments
of any day.

You can live it loud –
or be soft like
a cloud,
that floats across a
summer sky,
honor every moment
as the Love You Are,
morning,
noon,
and night.

To Laugh

Remember to laugh,
make time stand still,
is laughter not an
instant way
to surrender at will?
When laughter’s tickle
begins to get
your attention,
can you succumb,
give in to it,
let laughter build,
reminding you,
to take a break
and have some fun?

There is laughter
among good friends,
telling a story
or two –
then there is laughter
that surprises you,
making you laugh
at something you
might do,
when you can laugh
at yourself,
without judgement
or scorn,
is laughter not
so very freeing,
allowing Joy to
come forth?

Yes, laughter
can turn to tears,
tears can melt
into a laugh,
when you release
any emotion,
is there not healing
in that?
Do not fear
what you feel,
let it bubble up
and come out –
so you may Love
All of You,
be it inside
or out!

Remember to laugh,
you do not forget how,
you need not ask
for permission,
you can succumb
to it now,
does not visualizing
laughter,
give you a lift,
as do the corners of
your mouth,
thinking of times
you did this –
whether small
or slapping your knees,
you can laugh as loud
as you please,
let laughter come,
dissolve into some –
as you remember to laugh.

Coexist

Coexist.

Does not nature provide
examples of how it
often coexists –
plants that grow
side by side,
animals that you
would not think
do this,
do they not go
about their business,
focusing upon
what each one
really needs,
is there not often
an acceptance,
as they move around
each other
with ease?

Yes, in the human world
it can be a challenge
as relationships
are intertwined –
there are lessons
to be learned,
or beliefs that build
over time,
but if you unwind
some of the drama,
expectation,
judgements, too,
when you dial it
all back to Love,
can people not
coexist, too?

And can you take it
a step further
and not only acceptance
have,
can you extend a loving
blessing,
heartfelt,
with no strings attached,
does not acceptance
help you coexist,
does not Love
help you connect,
to all the parts
of You,
that make up
the Whole
of All That Is?

Coexist,
connect,
with no strings
attached.
Be You.
Be Love.
Love always
has your back.

A Gift of Love

Take care of,
honor greatly,
the Gift of Love,
give it out,
receive it in,
is this not a gift
you dream about?

You may search
the whole world over,
to unearth
this most precious gift,
but is not the Truth
of Who You Are,
standing with you
as you read this?

Take care of,
honor greatly,
the Gift of Love.
Look in the mirror,
who looks back
and through you –
the Gift of Love
Is You.

Wholly Love

20180722 XPicture

7/22/18

Be a part
or Be the Whole,
does your heart
not bridge
them both,
an individual aspect
of the Loving One –
yes, you can express
your own opinion,
but even as you speak
with your own voice,
is there not always
a loving choice,
that you can choose
to speak about?

What do you choose
to Be today,
for you can choose
what role you may play,
a multitude of expressions
are at your fingertips,
do not emotions
sometimes feel limitless,
but be they high
or be they low,
or wherever your
experiences go,
do they all not
ultimately
help you Be with Love?

Be a part
or Be the Whole,
does not Be-ing Love
help you to know,
Love Is You,
Love Is We,
even when you feel
only “me”,
with Love you
cannot help
but Be –
Wholly,
Holy,
Love.

Loop of Love

20180721 XPicture

7/21/18

What can you shine
your Light on today,
who can you lift up,
by sending Light
their way,
is Love not like a
boomerang,
what you send out –
will return,
can you begin
a Loop of Love,
that builds momentum,
so you may learn,
you are part of Love’s
flow,
it may feel like
taking turns,
but as there is
no beginning,
and there is no end –
you are always
with Love,
this Loop of Love
that you are in.

And when you feel
out of sync,
not sure of what
you may need,
can you extend
your Love out
and see what returns
to you,
there is a flow,
there is a rhythm,
yes, Love has a
groove,
ask Love to show
you how
you can serve Love
and thus feed you?

Feel the pulse
of the Loop of Love,
what you put out
does return,
let Love show you
the magic,
as you surrender
to what you may learn,
find your rhythm,
embrace your groove,
as Love will show
you the way,
step into your
Loop of Love,
and with Joy,
may you play!

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.

Remember

20180719 XPicture

7/19/18

Remember
so you may know,
know so you may
remember.

Precious memories
are available
in your mind,
in pictures taken,
in keepsakes treasured,
do they not help you
to remember,
you from before,
loved ones that
you miss,
friends from afar –
in the physical world,
do not things that
you touch,
when they appear
to be not here,
do you not miss them
oh so much?

But when you shift
to your heart,
is the bond not
still as strong,
yes, you miss close
physical hugs,
when you think someone
has “gone”,
the Love That Is You
does not fade as
time goes on,
indeed as Love Is
timeless,
is it not Love
that carries on?

Yes, you can re-member
what you think
you have lost –
but is it not
knowing,
that reminds you,
You Are Everywhere
at once?
Far beyond your
physical body,
is You always
with Love,
you are always together
with those you wish
to dream of.

Remember
so you may know,
know so you may
remember.
You Are part
of the loving Whole –
and with Eternal Love,
always together.

A Place of Peace

20180718 XPicture

7/18/18

Be familiar with Peace.

Peace need not be
elusive,
it need not be hard
to find,
it may be at the end
of a rainbow,
but you can feel it
at anytime,
it need not mean
you are apathetic,
when you are at Peace,
can you not focus
sharper still –
does not being familiar
with Peace,
bring you to a balanced
state,
letting the best of You
come shining through?

There are many external things
that can throw you,
off your center,
you may feel helpless,
wishing you had more
control,
but is not Peace
where you begin,
to become familiar
with You,
once again –
are you not You
when you let Peace
come seeping in?

Finding Peace
need not mean
you are tuning out.
Be-ing Peace means
that you are tuning in.
Let Love fine-tune
your resonance,
so you may feel
the Peace within,
with Gratitude,
can you now send
Peace and Love out?

Be familiar with Peace,
strengthen your core
that shines with Love,
anything or situation
you wish to face
will be easier,
when you are in
this loving place –
where your Strength
and Courage
can help you soar,
go within to find
out more –
as you reacquaint
with your powerful
Place of Peace.
