Why So Scary to Love?

You might fall into Love? You might disappoint? You might be disappointed? You might lose your whole Self to Love?

Love is fun. Love is safe. Love is easy. Love is our Natural State.

Try it and you will see you like it!

Love brings energy and vitality. Love offers joy and happiness. Love gives forgiveness and peace. Love is the way to clear fear.

When you give with Love, there are no expectations. When you truly Love, there are no limits. When you really Love, there are no conditions or rules. When you let yourself Love, you are blessed with unlimited Love.

Love knows the way. Love lights the path. Love leads us Home to ourselves. Love delights in Loving.

Love may look like a smile, a kind word, a hug. Love may be a prayer, a welcome greeting, a handshake. Love may be a gift, a meal, a warm bed. Love offers rest to the weary, comfort to the sick and friendship to the lonely.

Love takes no time and gives all the time. Love makes way for always and only Good. Love is a mistake-forgiver and gives us new life. Love is the new dawn on everyday.

Love takes nothing and gives everything. Love is rich with flavors and simple in its giving. Love is the gift that never stops and includes all. Love is the real work we have to do here and is always fun.

I am loving everyone, as I love You. I am loving me, as I am loving You. As love expands inside us and is shared with everyone, We are realizing the Greatest Love of All.

The Week After Christmas

T’was the week after Christmas and all through the land Things were all settled, it was all pretty bland. The gifts put away, the sales all complete Settled down by the tube in my favorite seat. I had my awareness written down in my book Had my insights, ideas and whatever it took. The spiritual lessons had been easy to share They were all filed away (I’m not really sure where). When deep down inside me there arose such a clatter It was really unfair. Now what was the matter? Away from my chair I flew like a flash I looked in the mirror and then came the crash. My life was unsettled with nothing the same And the worst of it all—there was no one to blame. When what to my wondering eye should appear But a glowing white light, from behind my left ear. With a little old angel so lively and quick I’d seen him before. I was going to be sick. More rapid than eagles his pronouncements they came And he whistled and shouted and called me some names. “More action and faith and tolerance and trust Now listen within and be responsible, you must. To topple complacency and breach the fear wall Now dash away, smash away, drop away all.” As leaves caught up in a hurricane fly All of my thoughts were thrown up to the sky. And as they were jumbled and tumbled and swirled I knew when they landed, it would be a new world. And then in a twinkling, I felt it all start The seeds of awareness awakening my heart.

As I came to my senses (picked myself off the floor) I saw in my mind’s eye, a picture of more. A world bathed in light, from the south to the north With every one on it aware of his worth. No one was waiting for others to do, Or to fix or to heal or to make it all new. Their eyes how they twinkled, their dimples how merry When they each played their part, the world was easy to carry. The smile on each mouth was drawn up like a bow Shining laughter and love wherever they’d go. The aura of kindness bespoke inner peace Letting each individual experience release. Oh the bright shiny faces, wherever you’d look It seemed—to be willing was all that it took. To start with ourselves, from deep down inside To give our true gifts, not to withhold or hide. With no blame, shame or guilt for our seeming mistakes, A little forgiveness is all that it takes. To clean up our world from inside to out It was simple and happy and I wanted to shout. Once I see the Christ presence in each person’s face We all become one, with no distance or space. I recalled in that moment just what my gift was To love all of my brothers, with no “why” or “because”. And I’m here to exclaim as I set myself free I remember the truth—It all starts with me.
