Behind every glance, every word, every contact

– deep inside –

the Heart endeavors to say, “I Love you!”

Do you hear it?

Only the crust of the unhealed mind

– of remembered hurt, of anticipating pain, of self-concern –

 distorts and mispresents the message of Love.

Pain is known in the resistance to Love’s expression.

From Love we come,

Love we are,

realizing it is impossible not to Love.

 Will I remember Who I am – really?

From One

appears and disappears the many.

 Behind and within the sounds

… songs of creation arise from and retreat into Its own Silence.

In Oneness, in Silence, in Stillness, in Light

is a ‘place’ called Home.

may I come to release the burden from myself

and see the Innocent One behind the perceived offense.

Does

Life, Truth, God

… have a point of view …

… take a position …

… assert an opinion?

No.

– truly –

I come to know Peace within my living experiences.

Am I willing to empty

all acquired knowledge long enough

to consider a shift in awareness on my own behalf?

 *

Seek Truth – all the way!

Worship – all the way!

Being Now

What’s in front of Me Now, right Now?

What’s pre-occupying Me – away from Now?

Distracting Me – away from Now?

What am I thinking about?

Where do my emotions take Me?

Am I Now?

Or is some memory of the past

… or …

some concern of the future deceiving Me I am Now?

 Am I experiencing the past again, now?

 There are no burdens – if I am NOW.

I will

let LIfe, Love, God, Truth be revealed as the All of all … to Me.

Love like God.
