Turning Up the Light

20171204 XPicture

12/4/17

At a time when
the dark pulls
the shade down tight,
when the sun sets
early,
when there is
more night,
do you not notice
the stars,
twinkling against
the clear night sky,
are your eyes
not drawn to
any hint of Light
that passes by?

Then does not Moon
begin to rise,
looking so big,
beaming so bright,
you have seen
this moon before
against the dark
blackboard of night,
but when the day
turns to night
before you put
dishes away,
do you not welcome
Moon
to cast moon shadows
in the night?

It is in the inky dark
that any Light
casts a glow,
a candle that is lit,
a lighted tree
that twinkles so,
your eyes are drawn
to the stars,
to the moon,
to who shines bright –
does it not take
the night,
to welcome in
a Spark of Light?

Do not fear
the dark,
it is only here
so you may see,
that darkness is only
what you cannot see,
it only takes a
flicker of Light
to illuminate the night,
be it a twinkling star
or a moon that
shines so bright.

You have seen these
points of Light,
they have led you
or held your hand,
bringing you hope,
shining Light,
when you thought
your Light was dim,
are you not part of
this collection of Light,
against a backdrop
of dark,
do you not All
magnificently shine
so clear,
so bright?

A glow,
a twinkle,
a supermoon
all shine the same.

You Are Light.
You Are Love.
Turn it up
and Shine.

Love Reigns

Love reigns.

When caught up
in the turmoil
of who is right
or who is wrong,
when comparisons are made
or judgements rule,
when fully human,
wondering this or that –
can you not see
the Light
come peeking through?
Love reigns.

As life is a pendulum
to show you movement
from here to there,
how does any experience
feel to you?
If there is not enough
Light
to see the way here,
might you explore
and check in on
how you feel there –
when you check in
with your heart,
where does Peace reside?
Love reigns.

There is learning,
there is growth
when you are open
to see,
what rumbles beneath
the surface,
what comes up
to breathe,
does your Light
not invite opportunities
for you to shine
on what is there –
what may be looking
for Love,
what wants to see
if Love cares,
but Love does not
work on conditions,
is it not always there?
No matter the circumstances,
Love reigns.

What do you do
with this Love?
This same Love flows
within all of You,
there are choices,
there are experiences,
when you may ask,
“where is the Love?”
But does not this
question
mean that you will
look again –
and in that searching
with your Light
turned on –
there It Is!
There is Love.
Yes, Love reigns.

Shine your Light
on corners dark.
When you look
it is Love
that you will find.
There is no winner,
there is no loser
as Love simply Is.
Love reigns.
Love Is.
Love.

Begin With Love

Begin with Love.

You can go on
many journeys
in your life
and in your mind –
is not the reality
you perceive
as fluid as
your state of mind?
What will you put
into your suitcase
to accompany you
on this trip –
when thinking
what to pack,
might you
begin with Love?

Can you let Love
be your companion
on any trip
that you take,
is not Love
the Great Interpreter,
understanding any language
you may hear,
can you not find Love
in any destination,
is Love not everywhere –
can Love not help you
find Peace,
when you
begin with Love?

Might Love be a filter
to separate out
what feels right,
you are growing,
ever-changing,
so your views
my change as well,
who is your constant
companion,
when you wish
to make sense
of You,
is it not a perfect
place to start,
when you
begin with Love?

Let Love be your
touchstone,
a cornerstone of
where you build,
let Love be your
Guiding Light,
illuminating your path,
there is no place
that is not Love,
though you might not
recognize the view,
until you see
where Love shines in,
when you look
and begin with Love.

And how can you
begin with Love –
is not Love always here?
Is each moment
not a chance to see
the Love That You Are?
You wish to be
the expression
of All That Is
on your Journey here –
might each step
you take with Love
let you begin with Love?

Beginning is a birth,
you are creating everyday.
Be Love now.
Express Love now.
Begin each breath,
begin each moment,
begin with Love.

The Magic of Love

20171201 XPicture

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.

Be Here With Love

Be Here.

In this moment,
in this space,
let Love fill you
from within,
from all around,
feel Love’s support
surround you now.
Be here with Love.

Your steps behind
are now with you –
in this moment,
in this space,
with others or
when you are
by yourself,
you never do
walk alone,
as You Are Here
right now –
Be here with Love.

You may ask,
“how can I carry Love,”
or “how can Love
carry me,”
into the next step
that you take,
in the moment
that comes next,
is that not when
you learn to Trust –
that in the moment
that follows this,
as you step into
the unknown –
are you not in
that moment now,
surrounded by Love,
as You Are Here
with Love?

Be Here.

Trust Love.
Believe Love.
Love is every
step you take.
All of this
is showing You
that in every moment
of what you do –
You Are Love
and Love Is You.

Be Here.
Be You.
Be Love.

Expressing Love

20171128 XPicture

11/28/17

There are many ways
to express yourself –
by your words,
with what you wear,
what do you surround
yourself with –
what do you create
in your life
that reflects the
uniqueness of You?

And as you express
outwardly,
do you not also
soak up,
receive,
what might be new,
what feels familiar,
what resonates within
your soul?

And is there not
a constant dance,
as you evolve
both inside
and out –
are there not times
when one aspect of you
is catching up to
Where You Are,
is it not difficult
at times
to express the You
that you are
beginning to Know?

And do you not seek
to feel the flow,
to be in sync
with Who You Are –
as you step into
your authentic self,
does it not feel so familiar
and yet so new?

Might you feel
the urge
to express yourself
in a different way,
discarding what
no longer fits,
you may strip away layers
that once let you hide,
but as you are seeing
and loving You –
are you not ready
to shine your Light?

As You Are an expression
of All That Is,
as you turn up the Light
within your soul,
you may not recognize
yourself,
when you first glance
in the mirror,
but when you see
the Light of Love
in your eyes –
is that not when
you see yourself
as Who You Are –
and with Love,
welcome your-self
Home?

Express the Love
That You Are.
Love Is authentic.
Love Is amazing.
Love Is You.

Infinite Love

What moves beyond
“right or wrong”,
“us or them”,
this way
or that way,
when looking at beliefs
in the human experience,
do you not all
seek to find
where is the “truth”
in the ocean of belief –
how do you find
your way?

Are there not many ways
to navigate,
on an ocean
vast and wide,
might some find their way
through direction,
specific instruction:
“to chart your course,
here is the map,”
might some look to
the stars,
to pinpoint, to find
where they are,
while others will move
with the flow of the
ocean,
getting in tune
with the rhythms
of the waves,
letting the ocean
show them
where they are.

And each experience
is neither right
or wrong –
do you all not set upon
this Journey,
to see,
to experience
what you wish to find,
are there not a
multitude of ways
to move across
the ocean,
as varied as the beliefs
that lie within
each of you?

And though you may travel
a different course,
are you not all connected
by a common thread,
what drives each of you
further along your Journey,
whether across the ocean
or the mountains above,
what resonates in your heart,
what reminds you
that You Are Here –
do you not find yourself
when you find Love?

Is not Love the driving Force
behind many a Journey,
is not Love the fuel
that carries you along
your way,
there is no one “right”
or “wrong” way to travel,
each experience is unique,
showing you a multitude
of ways,
but does Love not light
the way for All,
as infinite as the number
of Journeys,
are All not seeking
Infinite Love?

And you need not cross
a sparkling ocean so wide,
majestic mountains are there,
whether or not you climb
to the top,
the Journey to You
is in the Journey to Love,
and as Love is Always
Where You Are –
welcome Home,
dear traveler,
to the Love That You Are.

Infinite Love.
Endless Light.
You Are Eternal
Infinite Love.

Eyes of Love

20171125 XPicture

When you bring knowing,
an awareness
to where you live
day to day,
when you let Love
shine its Light,
lighting the way
for you to see,
is this not surrender,
a shifting up,
to your Higher Self,
does not looking
through the Eyes of Love
make it easier
to Be?

These eyes are not
rose-colored glasses,
though they are
a filter of what
you see –
you are not
closing your eyes
or turning away
from what you see,
but you can switch
your perspective
from a view that is dim
to one so bright –
does not Love bring
the colors of the rainbow,
bringing beauty
to your sight?

You can work to change
what goes on around you,
good work,
good deeds,
help the world evolve –
but as your consciousness expands,
are you not seeing
a different You –
when you look through the
Eyes of Love,
does this not paint
a different view?

Do you not see
all rocky roads
are leading you
to what you know?
Here Is Love.
You Are Love.
Can you see Love
all around you
when you look through
the Eyes of Love?

Surrender.
Shift.
Look through your
Eyes of Love.
There You Are!
Shining Bright.
Full of color,
full of Light.

Bring the colors
of the rainbow
to All that you
say and do –
Be Love.
Be Light.
Be You.
