Silence in love

- 
Silence. 
Able to hear. 
Who's there? 
Who are you? 
Is that you? 
- 
Paths cross. 
Come and go. 
Stay a while? 
How long? 
Welcome! 
Or good bye? 
Your choice! 
And mine. 
In the flow. 
Come and go. 
Paths cross. 
- 
You know me. 
I know you. 
You and I. 
Here now. 
Able to see. 
A sweet face. 
Eyes and heart. 
Look and listen. 
A blank page. 
White light. 
Happy sound. 
Of silence. 
In love.

What wonderful freedom

What wonderful freedom to wake in the morning and decide where to go and what to do! And then actually do it. It’s in the doing and being that all blossoms — and in going out into the world(s). Meet dear ones, and let others go where they may. Thus, paths cross, folks meet and split again. Naturally. Most all tend to inflate themselves in one way or another. Invariably bubbles burst sooner or later. At first it may be considered a disaster of sorts, then hopefully recognized a blessing.

Let’s celebrate!

LET'S CELEBRATE! 
 
Celebrate the way it is, 
That we are here now. 
Together so much can be. 
Let go of where we were, 
And what will be then. 
Tomorrow is another day. 
Now is the moment, 
Together we can share. 
How far can we go? 
Limits are to be broken, 
For freedom and love. 
Doors are to be opened, 
Flickers to be steadied. 
Nurture the light, 
And it will expand, 
Illuminate all around, 
Most of all the heart, 
Your heart and mine. 
That's what we have, 
And celebrate we are, 
Together in this moment, 
However close or far. 
Reach across the divide, 
For our hearts embrace. 
Sing a song of love, 
Happiness and joy. 
I missed you and love. 
Let's celebrate now!

Are you with it?

Are you with it — or not? Make up your mind and heart. Either do it, or don’t. You are going nowhere if you are in between. And still, in this world we are in between, no matter what, unless in the very moment. Consciousness transcends duality in the now.

Many offer keys with more or less self-glorification. After all, some motivation has to come into the picture for the self to focus its vision. But then when seeing clearly, will the view still be compatible with the framework? Are you willing to compromise, dive into the currents, and sufficiently let go of apparent contradictions in an imperfect construct? This is a substantial lesson for all. Will I pass or fail, when neither is more than an illusion of duality?

Black and white views miss colors and much of what is present. Still they do convey a picture too, which is infinitely more than no picture at all. Thus it helps to remember that everyone sees different colors individually for themselves — in the now.

By heart and soul


So what's coming about,
when the pen is put to the empty page,
a brush of color to the blank canvas,
some voice and sound to the silence,
or consciousness to the moment?
Let's see!

Life is wonderful - a constant miracle
with all its challenges, surprises, lessons, and all.
At times, it may appear as a curse, then again a blessing.
Which way we see it makes all the difference -
how happy I am, what I can give to others,
the heart and consciousness of soul.

Is anyone looking or listening?
Does it matter at all, or make a difference?
Well, everything and everyone does, in their own way.
Each of us has their very own way and options,
even though in the end it's a choice of one,
the way it is in the moment, in the now.

The flow of life, love divine,
the river from the mountains to the sea.
We are climbing the mountain of God,
sailing the ocean of love and mercy.
We may plant flowers in our worlds 
and moments in the garden of God.

We'll also notice the flowers we trample.
Humanity can do a lot, an awful lot of that.
You and I are human and thus complicit,
whether we want it or not, we carry
the burden, the reality that results
from all we did, and do, and will do.

It's not the illusion of thinking that matters,
but the reality of being, of action and doing,
regardless if anyone is listening or looking,
or if anyone notices - except yourself!
In silence, the blank canvas, the moment of now, embrace
your voice and consciousness, we know by heart and soul.

By heart and soul
