Unopened Gifts

Finally a day to say

To remind ourselves

To remember

To speak out loud

How do I forgive myself

That is one unopened gift

How do I have compassion for myself

Yet another unopened gift

We speak in life, I have been able to forgive....another

I can now go on

Yet what is forgiveness?

How do you forgive yourself?

To forgive is to say I have not learned

Compassion will speak that you have learned

You see, it is not about forgiveness at all

Forgiveness says that you will overlook and get over something that hurt you

Whether you did it to yourself or to someone else

It is to say, that you have not learned the lesson so you will forgive the action

And then what?

Do you just go on forgiving forever and not going further as to why you are doing it or allowing someone else to do it to you?

Compassion to yourself, to others, to say, Yes, this happened, whatever it is, and we will learn from it

Compassion to understand the motives, the reasons and to say, I understand why you did this

Is there another way to get what you need

Without hurting yourself or others

In teaching children

There are three rules of discipline to follow

Don't hurt yourself

Don't hurt others

Don't damage or destroy property

That is truth for all of us

If we don't hurt ourselves, we actually do not have a need to hurt others

Damaging or destroying property is usually a byproduct of being hurt

When we forgive ourselves or others we are acknowledging we are hurt or hurt another

Compassion is the step after, we can't just stop at forgiving

Compassion reminds us of the human part, the part where we gain self understanding and love

With words like

I know you didn't mean that

I know you are hurt already

I can see now your intentions are good for me, or maybe they are not

Is this a safe place for me to grow

Or is this teaching me this is not the place for me to stay and learn of life

Forgiveness is like a power play or relief button

Compassion finds a soulution, and landing place, a mutual caring for what results in what has happened

Compassion is the way to get past anyone having to forgive anything

It is the place where we learn why, not just what

Where we see motivation rather than action only

Where we grow within ourselves, then someone else

Self accounting, self love, growth

It all starts in the solutions, not in the answers

Anyone can say yes or no

Yet the parts that say why are the growths

The parts that say why are the teachers

The moments of discovering are when you can go on and live past those moments

There is a vast difference between forgiveness and compassion

Compassion teaches love and forgiveness gives power to someone to grant it

Compassion soothes and grows and forgiveness is saying, I have forgiven you so many times, now what?

The crutches of living in doing and forgiving

Rather than speaking and learning

Breaks the cycle of not paying attention to yourself with excuses

And brings back the questions you had as a child

Why, is one of the greatest questions any child asks and doesn't stop until they find out

It is their happiness so that they can go out and play

They already understand that full disclosure is their freedom

Quietly as we "look" so much smarter than them

Look again, there is still an unopened gift under your tree

It is called Self Love

Bring Me A Higher Love

Your higher self is talking
And you speak to it that it is not possible
That you are not good enough or strong enough to be that person

Your higher self tells you you are that person
And you should at the very least try
That you have nothing to lose
That even an embarrassing moment is a story of truth to speak about in love

Your higher self is you without boundaries and limits
That only you can put in and only you can release
Your higher self is your capability
Your ability
Neither of which know the word NO

Imagine if the word NO did not exist
Boy would the freedom of our souls be happy!
There would be no answer that can not be had
There would be a way to find to do almost anything you thought of

Capability just means to know
Ability means to try
To know and To try
To see if it is yours to grow more with
Or to let it take you to something else

Your higher self is your purpose
Not broken down into smaller parts,
It is the sum of the smaller parts that build you up to it

It is a higher love to see your higher self
And a soul that says I will because I can and I can because I will
Anything less than that is because you really don't want it yet

I say yet, because the day will come to you
That you can see yourself do it
And it will find a path, an avenue or a bridge
To take you there

Think Love, Create Love

As Love starts to teach you
Who you are
When you think of sharing your home, your heart, your family
It tells you the best of you
As you present it all new
To a person that you feel love to
In a way that you always do

Love is not fantasy
Nor is it reality
Love is between both
That is the excitement of it all

When you think of love
Do you notice how you are in the best thoughts of who you are?

Some of us wait for new love to feel such open feelings towards ourselves
As though it is the only way we can feel it
Getting to the truth of things, you can feel this on your own
You see, love is love is love

There isn't one kind of love
Love is so open, it is in everything
That feeling of presenting your life to someone new
It is already present

As you build your life with love for yourself
That love, that excitement, that truth of you put out there
It gets to be present
And when it is present
It attracts those who are of love in that way too

Who understand that Love is love is love
That Love is a part of their every day
That anyone who comes to them leaves with love
That the more complete they already are
The more complete those that are attracted to them are

Everyone is attracted to a person who is already love
Already happy
Young children
Elders
Pets
And all other people

You start wondering what is different about you
And it is the new feeling of love, all the time
The belief that you are capable to have love
Simply to know it enough to feel it in heart
To live it in form
To stand within yourself
And understand it is a state of mind
And acceptance of heart
And lost ego to humble truths
That love is for all of us, even you

No one left out
Knowing Love doesn't replace challenge
It just makes it easier
That love gives answers that anger or feeling lacks of love can not see
Love is the freedom
Of your thinking and the compassion of your heart unto yourself
It is the opening of giving yourself a break
And the Love that comes with that knowing that you are OK

Even you, seems so far away at time
Love doesn't know the words, even you, even me, No to this or that
Love finds a way to say Yes
Yes to life, Yes to sharing, Yes to understanding
That love is simply life when it is understood and happy
Love is that smile you can't help
And the truth of why we are here
To learn to let go
Enough to open your heart
To follow the flow
Of love in life
That isn't meant to let go of even you!

The Space Between You and You

Believe in yourself
And don't allow yourself not to
Speak your truth
And don't allow yourself to judge you
Wear what you love
And don't allow yourself to take away the joy of it

Say you can when you think you can't
Do what you say you would never be able to
And try foods that aren't "you"

Go to a movie alone
And buy yourself some popcorn
Treat yourself to a walk
Listen to music that isn't music you would normally listen to
And you will start seeing that you can adapt
That you can take in and enjoy what is new
That you too can be new

We think our job is to stay who we are
Be who we are
Act like who we are
And whoever said how, what or who we are means?

We are who we think we are, that is who
We are the person who can try things, leave things that aren't right for us
And build things from simple thoughts in our heads

Believing in ourselves starts with the thoughts of our hearts being acknowledged
And then acted on
And then expanding out of our comfort zone

We are meant to be a little uncomfortable at times,
otherwise we have no stresses to move us along
And we are meant to not be too uncomfortable for then we know what is not right for us

We always know what we believe,
yet we need to trust what we know
and then we can see
That belief is not a trick or for someone else,
Belief is available
And once you believe one thing,
It is so much easier to find other things to believe in
It is the growth of your soul, one step at a time
One moment to another
One decision to do so at a time

How silly it is to say no
When the fight inside wants to say yes
Let the walls of very hard years of keeping them there
know they are on notice
Put your heart on notice
That you will be taking on the walls
and walking around them

We don't have to wait for a good day
To say we are going to try anything
Today is a moment that you can look in the eye
And say in this moment I want to do something about what I have been thinking
And just see what happens

Believing in yourself doesn't come easy
Nor cheap at times,
But believing in yourself does bring on an inner glow
One that stands over you, guides you,
When you start to give up or forget why you are trying
Believing in yourself
Leaves the excuses behind

Your Soul Is Not Your Body

We are trying to tell the world that our body is our soul
We found ways to fill our bodies
Change our bodies
Keep our bodies from aging
Dressing younger or older depending on what we are trying to accomplish

And then if someone is disabled we think they are less or need more help than us
And if they are sick we get scared because it could be us
And if they are dressed 'better' than us we actually think they are 'smarter' than us
And a bigger house only reminds us that we are not as 'successful'

Yet, I am writing this and if you didn't know me, you wouldn't know anything about me
All you would hear are my words,
You would feel my feelings for a moment of your life
You would share the love I feel in writing this, as I am writing it

Love doesn't look like anyone
Love isn't meant only for some
Love isn't meant to be looked for
Or "learned" how to be
Love is open and free
Love doesn't have eyes or ears
Love only has feelings and instinct
Love protects all that comes our way
When we know enough about its freedom to let it

I found by writing that my soul is not my body
My heart is my soul
My body is just the way I get around
And everyone else too
Your body is the car of your soul
It takes your intentions, your thoughts, and it drives them into action
Your body will do anything your soul will ask of it
But your soul can not do anything your body asks of it

I remember most, that I always remember, what it felt like when I left someone
More than what we looked like or where we were
We leave with the emotions
That is why at times when we are not dressed and our guard is down,
Those days, they seem to be the best days we have
We are exempt from the race to be anything
Did you notice you are least shy when you are most open?

We can take a lesson from those of us whose bodies can not do what we do,
And still they are happy
Their secret is the truth of their soul's exposed
And we too, can learn
To let the body be a part of us and include our soul
It does not have to be one or the other, we simply can understand our purpose better
When we let the truth of us show itself, rather than expecting our love from the outside in

No one can ever walk away from an open heart
Truth is a magnet for its strength
And truth wears no masks!

Never Mind Why, Simply Do What is Right

It doesn't take explanation to do what is right
To do what makes things better
To say what needs to be said

Either side of the coin
When things are tough, tell the truth
When things are not, tell the truth

There is no sense in creating stories to make things seem more exciting
The excitement is in how much you love it, telling it that way
And giving someone else a chance to live it with you too

We always think everything has to be bigger, better or worth hearing
That we have to have a punchline or a reason for saying something

It is so much simpler than that
Tell the truth from your heart
And your heart will do the rest

When there is a moment where telling the truth
Is something you do not want to do
It has nothing to do with the other person at all

Ask yourself, why is it that you feel like you can not?
Why is your safety an issue?
Is your self esteem unable to accommodate truth?
Is lying something you want to carry around?
Do you want to create distance between you and the other person?
Do you not have respect for yourself enough to simply speak and grow on?
Do you prefer the dramas of lying that cause you to not trust others?

Most who do not tell the truth
Think others are lying
Are the ones who accuse others of doing things, being things they are not
Do not like to discuss details
Nor do they enjoy the fruits of self accountability

They are the ones who fear their positions
Their posts in life
That their charminess will wear out
That their cover will be blown
That maybe they are a fraud altogether

They will claim to have everything under control,
As if they had to
They will tell you how great they are
As if you needed to hear that

When someone speaks with their heart
they even allow for those who don't
Time to speak, and hear themselves talk
Simply because they already believe they will speak from the heart
And when they find out that is not what is happening
They start feeling used, without words or actions yet

As time passes and you are in a relationship
You start to realize that the other person doesn't pay attention to you they way you do to them
That when THEY are happy you are OK, when THEY are NOT, you are in Trouble
The balance shifts to their moods and the one with heart accommodating the one who speaks in exaggerations of truth and you are left realizing that maybe you have chosen a person who lives in the illusions of their truth and it all is not so real

Getting to know another person is for these reasons alone
Is this a person you can depend on
Does this person bring you peace and joy
Warmth or comfort
Or are you more fractured with them and more whole without them

A job, a friend, a partner, a spouse
All the souls who find their way to us
Teach us who we are by what we do not accept from them
They Hone us into speaking up
Fighting for our own souls
Making our way without questions as to what is right or wrong,
however, what we are RIPE enough to learn

We can only learn what we are ready for
And others may serve as a catalyst for such learning's
Or they may be a soul we are meant to share much more of ourselves with and life with

We try to make everything "forever"
yet there is no time
There is a bigger picture
And some things are meant to teach us for a moment
And others are meant to carry us for a lifetime

Accept life for the challenges it gives you
And you will see that life will always have a challenge for you
It will always always remain and be
Your level of understanding
And your willingness to learn that will carry you
Once you can see that
The turmoil's of what to do, how to be, what to say, and what not to say are already answered

Our energy proceeds us
And we speak without speaking words
Trust in the bigger picture of our purpose can carry you through the moments of indecision
Clairty of your purpose
Knowledge of your soul
Understanding that you are not meant to be everywhere at once
Gives you the basis and understanding that you WANT to be where you at least choose to be
And the places you choose to be will allow you to experience them whole

Choose Love

Walk away from those who let you down
Walk away from those who do not care that they hurt your feelings
Walk away from those who set you up
From those you know will talk about you if you mess up

Learn to walk away, rather than prove anyone wrong
It only takes your energy into the black hole they have created for you to fall within

You are allowed to say NO
You are allowed to find Love
You are allowed to find peace
You are entitled to enjoy your time

We forget that we can say NO
To what hurts our energy and takes away our speed
That which reminds us of failure rather than our hearts success
We are all as successful as we see ourselves
We are all as weak as we believe others will speak of us

We must remember that those that talk about us
are only doing so from their own weakness and their desire to weaken others with them
So that they will not be alone in the below the radar behaviors they take on
To caste worry, fear and doubt to anothers soul

We must take part in our hearts desire to take care of ourselves
By allowing what we love to enter our thoughts rather than just the one person who keeps finding a way to challenge it
Your challenge is to challenge that energy and realize that anyone who can take you away from you, you need to take yourself away from

You can attempt, however learn from your attempts
And learn that you can run, not walk away, when you begin to understand you are depleting rather than building
That you are not of true benefit to this soul, nor are they to you
That you can learn from each other at a distance
Rather than the closeness that has come to rob you both of yourselves

Love gives
When giving is not present neither is love
Choose Love
And Love will find a way for you
Love is the can opener of every can you have stored in your cabinet
Some have been there for years
Go back and let them open and those that have expired
Accept that they have and go on
That is one of the paths of self love that opens you up to less storage and greater freedom of your soul
Choose your Soul
And there you will find your true movement
Your content
And your willingness to go forward

Blueprint for Life

What we need:

We need a political party that represents both the poor and the rich
We need credit cards that are not designed to keep you in debt
We need mortgages that are simple and clear and no fine print
I am thinking no fine print on the credit cards either

We need less pressure to have more work in a day
And more pressure to balance time to work, sleep, eat, and sit with your family
We need more pressures to complete tasks without so many steps
Be able to have a doctor to go to
Buy all the food that we need
Go to a Library to read

We need more pressure to build our neighborhoods,
Know our neighbors
Say Hello with nothing more to say

We need moments to catch up and rejuvenate
Leaders that we can depend on
Jobs we can grow in
Homes we can keep forever if we want to

We need streets that we all keep clean
Area's our children can play in without fear within the parent or the child
Homes that aren't behind iron gates

We need water we can drink
Streets without litter
People not living on streets
Care for those who can not care for themselves

We need to stop the blame
That someone who isn't ahead does not deserve time or a chance to gain ground
That people who need help are not to be walked by
That people who can help don't believe it is a choice

We need the love inside of us to not accept what is not working in our lives
We need to hear politics that makes actual sense, without explanation
Without fine print
Without loyalty to any party
However loyalty to US, people

People are a party
People are a race
People are of religion
People need food
People need homes
People need learning institutions
People need each other
People need love

There is no soul on Earth more important than another
When we can come to the thoughts that anyone is here by mistake or isn't worthy of what People need or want
Then we have lost already

There is no Them, since everyone is a them to someone
There is only an US, since we all share this same place called Earth
It includes US, Animals and Nature
And everything else is only a reflection of our needs, wants and desires

When you look around and find something to complain about
Look around again and find something you can do
That is balance
Pick up trash that you see when you can
Smile to another and remind them WE are here, there is not really a me and a you
Remember that there is no way anyone can do this alone
There is no way any leadership can work without people, nor can people find order without some kind of leadership

We each have a job to do,
We have a job to live and experience and grow
Yet we spend so much time trying not to change, to keep everything the same
Yet nothing is really meant to stay the same
It is meant to evolve and allow itself to find greater growths in each day

Most of our frustrations come when we feel we haven't done enough
Or we have done too much and no one notices

It is simply important that you notice
You see, if you notice, it can only be shared
And all the sharing of what you see, can only be felt
And feeling drives our actions
And ignites another

Anything can happen
As love finds a way to propel
That is how it is when you are thinking something
And then one day see it on TV,
Or hear another speaking about it

We are one
We hear it, we say it, and we can now learn how to be it
Everything has a blueprint and we are the blueprint of life

Life is the answer to why we are here
Living is how we do it
Awareness is how we know what to do
And love is the fuel of it all

Love is our true leadership
Love is our stem
And Love is our search
Keep loving and you have already begun the movement
The movement of living life as you can dream it
And dream it as your life gives you answers
And answers keep you thriving for more

Emotional Detox

Instead of I can't do this
I will try this new thing

Instead of I won't go there
Go and see what you were missing

Yellow doesn't look good on me?
Wear Yellow

Never gone back and said you are sorry to someone from years ago?
Call them now

Your closet need cleaning?
Don't get dressed one morning and just start cleaning it

Wanted to cook and instead are planning to grab something on the run?
Cook

Keep thinking of going for a walk?
Go and Walk

Keep thinking to plan a get together at your home?
Start making phone calls

Love to cook and never have the ingredients?
Buy them and stock them, you will always be ready

If there is someone you really love and you have never told them
Tell them and expect nothing back

You see it isn't what you are doing
It is what we are not doing to each other
It is what we are not saying
Not sharing

Cleaning ourselves from the inside out
Is to give our soul free reign as to who we are
Without shutting out the beautiful parts, always on our way to them

Wash your car
Use the bathroom before you leave
Say thank you when you normally wouldn't
And I love you to someone you do

Say you made a difference
And notice how you do too
Let the world you see be noticed by you
And the world will find a way to notice you too

Our souls are not our bodies
Our souls are our actions
Our love that we take the time to do and to share

Our love is all we have
When we are far away from love we feel far away from life
And when we are far away from life we say we want love

No more saying what we want and acting as though it is not right in our face
It is all right in front of our faces, and we are making choices to postpone, not say, not share today,
All that makes a difference to our lives

It is the invisible not eating when we are hungry
Because we have free will to have a choice
How about surprising your will
And letting it know how free it is

Don't Be True to Me, Be True to You

You tell me about yourself by what you say you do
If you ask me not to tell another something,
You ask that of someone else too

If I see you lie to another person
You most likely lie to me too

If you wash your hands before you eat
I know you wash everything else too

If you are OK with taking something that isn't yours
You will take me for what isn't yours

If you talk about others
Then you talk about me too

You see it isn't what you confide in me
Confidences need not be
Open and free is truth
Truth doesn't need an introduction
Or a premise or a thought

Truth just is
Just was
Will always be

You are not any different in front of me
Than behind me, when there is truth

We ask of each other many things
One thing I ask of myself

To tell you the truth
So that you know I am truthful
To treat you with respect,
Then you know I am respectful

To clean up after myself
So that you know to clean up after you
To leave you feeling clair
So that you know my intentions are clear

You see we learn a lot from each other
As we hear, see, and take part of each other
And we react to each other from that truth we see

Take part in your life
So that you can take part in anothers

Your children don't hear you as loud as they see you
Your friends can see you for what you have done, rather than what you say you have done
Your parents know who you are, rather than who they think you are
And your heart knows your truth no matter what you try to say

Truth is here
It waits for us to be it
We wait for us to know it
We say we are looking for it,
Yet it is here, and you already know of it

So use truth instead of using excuses to evade it
Let truth lead you rather than what you want to be truth
No need to take non truths and make them true
Stop wasting your time
Stop taking away from something that is already in front of you
And creating drama's to prove your point

With truth there is no point, there is only acknowledgment
Evading truth is like waiting for a train that is not coming
Use the clues of your life to bring you to speaking the truth for what it is
Because once you are true to you, you can be true to me

Once you start speaking with your heart
I want to be in your heart too
Once you start cleaning around yourself, I will clean with you
Once you cook a meal with clean hands, you will feed everyone

Wash your life with truth and let truth create THE PATH
There is not a path, truth is THE PATH
Anything else finds a way of leaving us feeling shortchanged and hungry
Truth is the breath of our souls
And the soul of your breaths
As you can share your heart when you feel it's purity
As your purity is the most becoming feature of any of us

Shopping for Love

What do you get when you give?
What do you give to get?
When you give it is a feeling of exhilaration that is addicting and self growing
It is like that plant that doesn't even need water to grow

I was walking into a store the other day
And a lady was on the ground dragging herself to a bag
She had fallen and she was too heavy to get up
At first she seemed like she had a method so I was just going to go into the store
Then I saw her dragging herself and I was wondering if that is just how she got out of her car and did her business

But then I was just curious so I went to her and asked her if she needed help.
she told me that her daughter was going to come out of the store in a minute, that she is in line
That she walked out of the store and was holding onto a pole to hold herself up
And that she let go of the pole and she fell

So I asked her if I can get her daughter or help her up
She told me we would have to find a big man to do that
Then her daughter came out and when she saw her mother on the floor she ran to her and asked her what happened.
She didn't seem to expect her there

The daughter and I both managed to get her to her feet again
And they were both so grateful
So I was about to leave and they asked me my name
Before I could tell them
The relief on their faces was the very relief I felt to have helped them

It was the smallest of things, yet it was bigger than me at the same time
I got tears in my eyes and I couldn't tell them my name
I was just silent and they were staring at me

It took me a minute and then I could speak my name
I walked away as though someone cleansed me
Like making this very small difference to people I would most likely never see again

It made everything I thought about my own life as new as it felt to fall into this family's circle unexpectedly
It reminded me how much we care about each other without thinking of it
And it is when we think too much that we start playing the taking away game from ourselves

So I went to the store and didn't find what I went there for
A little later that day I was thinking about not finding what I went there for
When it occurred to me that I found exactly what I went there for

That when we go to a store we are buying love of some kind to ourselves
And that lady on the sidewalk was the love that day
I left more fulfilled than anything I could have purchased
More cleansed and appreciative of people

We forget sometimes how much emotion there is when we touch each other in this way
How good it feels to share a strength we may have more than another
And accept their strength when ours is not with us
We build a wall that makes us think we are not in need

We are all needy and it has nothing to do with food or money
It has to do with our emotions catching up to the other advances in our lives
As we can balance, life looks differently and "needs" much less to fulfill it

If we step back from the wall
Only then can we see it
And walk around it

A Glimpse of Self Love

Are you scared to love me?
Does it show that I am scared to love you?
Maybe it is because I don't know how to love me either?

I have been trying to figure out how to love myself
for many years now
I still am not sure what that looks like to say, I love me, I love you too

When I don't love me the most
I get scared that you won't love me either
When I love me the most
I know you will be with me forever

I use to think of loving myself as selfish
Then I use to think it was all in my ego to do that
Then I realized when I was happy inside, selfish and ego weren't an issue
That I just wanted to spend time with you because I love you
Again when I was happy

And then I wake up and I am not so sure how I feel
And I take it out on you
Accusing you of things that were OK the day before
I found out when I am not happy, you will not be happy with me either
As I try to take it out on you so I don't have to face me

How do I love me?
So that I can love you
I was sitting on the floor one morning
On my way to an important meeting
And across from me was a mirror

I took a quick glance only to see myself sitting on the floor tying my shoe
When I looked up, I didn't see me, I saw a person, sitting on the floor, tying their shoe
It was a weird moment, however I realized I WAS a person
I stared at myself from a distance
I realized I looked like the people I see, not the person I know

I started talking to myself
I told myself,
You have a big meeting today,
I wish you well

When I said that I started to cry
It felt so good to care about me
Like the words of a dear friend
I continued talking

As I cried, I said, I am going to take care of you my friend
I am your friend
I see you wake up everyday, rush to get ready,
Yet I realized I never really see you at all

I am sorry I never looked
I judge you so harshly
And you are just making a way for yourself,
What ever that is

I promise to do right by you
From this moment forward
I will understand when you don't think you have done well that you have done your best
And I also promise not to hurt you more with the words in my head that take away from me
I will remind myself that you did your best and maybe it was not meant to be for you

I also promise that when things are going great to let you enjoy those moments for what they are
A part of life that keeps you motivated to do the rest of it
And I will remind myself that every purpose has a challenge and every challenge has a purpose
And that we are a team, My Heart, My Soul and My Mind

I will do right by you,
I will not let myself forget that you care and that I care
As my Heart and Soul spoke to my Mind
I realized still that I am one, yet at times there feels like there are two of me
One that loves and one that is harder on me than anyone I know

I sat on that floor and saw myself new that day
I got up and left feeling like I have a partner within myself
That I can be whole and awake to my actions
That I can do right by myself

And with that, that I understand what it means to do right by others too
They ARE me and I AM them
Just as I have the voice in my head that either cheers me on or stops me in my tracks
Joining myself with myself,
Gives me the path to join myself with you
I can love you more when I know what it feels like to love me more

Love can only propel once it knows that it is there

Love's Soulvation

You can't know nice until you are nice
You can't know beautiful until you feel beautiful
You aren't happy for others until you feel happy yourself

You don't see the effort of others until you put forth an effort yourself
You won't acknowledge anothers success until you have felt a sense of success yourself
It's hard to have appreciation for anything if you never had to live without it

We can not know how it is to starve when we can't decide what to eat
We can not see a heart until we can feel our own
We can not extend a hand, until a hand has been extended to us

When we know something, then we can share it
We need examples from each other to see how effective it is to share who we are, what we feel
If one of us does something, someone else immediately learns, feels, understands its worth

We are one, we hear this and hear it
WE are one when it comes to respect
To dignity
To feel like someone notices
That someone really cares

It grows our belief that everything has good in it
That when we are angry and someone puts their hand on our back and says it will be OK
That is better than virtual slaps on the face with words and gestures that do nothing but give us reasons to let go

Take your initial reaction to a situation
And do the opposite
Instead of saying You did this or that, said this or that
Say, thank you for showing me what it feels like to take on your anger,
You must really be mad, although it is not obvious why
You are unkind to me, because you already feel it about somewhere else
I know you don't mean what you just said
I am sorry you are having a bad day

It sounds like a lot to say, however it is not
Think it, and it will come to the surface in your actions
All you have to say in truth is, I know you don't mean that
Sometimes that is all you need to say

And leave it to the other person to find in themselves their own motivations
and they can learn that, and have a moment to think about whatever it is in their heart
That is being a teacher
That is showing love when we don't know if we can
This is one way to do it
This is one way to care

WE think we need to wait for a good day to do better
No more wasting time
Time is not relevant when it comes to love

The Trail of A Happy Thought

You wake up from a great dream you can not even remember
Yet you are happy from it as though you did remember
You were smiling when you woke up and that is really all that mattered

You decide very quickly what to wear for work
Without even thinking, you didn't put much time or thought into it and you felt free and confident no matter what you put on

You run through the kitchen to get to the door and you realize that you forgot to put the coffee on, and think, I don't need coffee today, I am already awake

You are driving to work, and someone cuts you off before you get to the freeway, and you think, that is too bad they are having a bad day

You get to work, and you are walking to your desk, and you pass several coworkers by, and they are complaining about the previous days happenings, and you say Good Morning and you keep going

You are lighter on your feet, freer in your mind and just plain happy about something and you don't even know what

It really shows us that anything can make us happy as long as we feel it and it energizes us in ways we couldn't even notice

And it teaches us that you can make a day happy with heart and love if we just think it, and it barely matters what it is we choose

Our mind is waiting for us to use it and put its strongest use forward

Just as easily as pushing the "wrong" button there is a "right" button too

How funny that we fight to have a choice in so many places of our lives and this is a choice given to us and we forget it is even there

Start with something you love and remind yourself that love can happen everywhere else

Invite Love to Invite You

I don't tell love what to do
I let love teach me what it is

It is chances in life

I understand that what is meant to be is meant to be

In many cases I have to trust God a lot to live it

Not just say I know it

I can't change anything about me

But I can grow my soul

Let's heal

Let's start paying attention to what that even means

Your purpose stands before you

And your internal purpose must be understood to do that

To recognize caring and selflessness

Selflessness to life on Earth

You see, you can not live without understanding

And understandings that are coming to you are of truth and love

Accept them as you would accept any other gifts or learning's in life

There is not a soul that is not a soul

There is not a soul more important than another

We all have opinions as though there is not a chance to growth, wisdom, nor the opportunity to teach

We are all one, then we are all, and then we are one again

Our healing is not so hard

It starts with love and is never ending with love

Lacks of understandings bring to us conflicts, delusions, and acts that don't look like love

And then we hurt others with our unresolved pains

Yet it is love, even if that love was hurt along the way

Love is objective

And can only be what we do to it

Let love be

Let it show you who you are

Let it lead you to sharing that with another

Love is our key

Love is our stem

Love is our name when we hear it called by another

Love is the phone call that asks us a question

That brings to us a person to share a meal with, talk about anything with

Love is the food prepared for us

Love is the thoughts that are shared unwarranted, that we can trust and learn from

There isn't enough we can say about love

And there are no boundaries of what we can do with it

Love is love is love, and when it is pure, we float in it like a baby in all its warmth and innocence

Love is the candle, and love is the light

Love is the opening of your heart unto itself

When was the last time you saw your heart?

When love was there
Love's greatest strength is it's predictablity

And it's unpredictability of what it can propel us to do

The More We See, The Less We Saw

It's funny how we didn't know what color we are until someone told us

It's funny how we don't know what religion we are until someone teaches us

It's even funnier how we are judged for something we come with and something we are taught, mostly before we had the choice to choose

I amaze at how we take those two things and turn them into reasons as to why:

Why that person doesn't deserve this or that

Why that person isn't worth talking to, sharing with, or getting to know

working with or understanding

I amaze at why we think so:

We don't know

It is fear of change, of life, of what could be different

It is wanting to be part of a group that is better than, deserves more, gets more public accommodations

It is fear of not being accepted and going along with the us, not them bunch

If none of us could see we would only be voices and brains

Thoughts and intellect

Work and sharing

No boundaries

Yet because we can see, we let out eyes take on the information that comes to all of us

And skew it

And use that extra bit of information to take away from us

To divide us

And distract us from paying attention to what really needs us

Like our resources

Our accommodations in life, like hospitals, schools, library's, foods, medicines and greater care of our Earth

Instead, because we can see, we have taken our energy's into sidetracks that only matter to ego

We let ego rule

And now we are basically a fear based society

Who is pressured in time, money and family

All that because we have eyes

All because we can see
