Ready, Set, Love

The first rule of love is

Not to forget is exists

We try so hard to find it

We over look it and then laugh later about how it was there all the time

 

The second rule of love

Is to enjoy it

Love doesn’t get you down

It guides you

 

Love tells you who you are

When you choose someone to love

There is always always something in them that is in you

Or you couldn’t see it in them

 

So when you meet people and you are attracted to them

Know it is the similarities that you both have that you could see

And you can only love another as much as you love yourself

And you can only allow another to love you as much as you love you

 

So if your love doesn’t go too deep

Then don’t expect a relationship to

We expect so much from love

When we don’t know what to ask of it

As though it should know for us

And then lead us to bliss

 

Love is as active as you are

As slow as you are

As honest as you are

As forthright as you are

 

Love is always here

Available and ready

Until you tell it what to do,

Where to go

Who to share you with

 

So the next time you find yourself

All excited and happy

Don’t wait for love to tell you what to do

It is waiting for you

To steer it and bring you to who you are

 

 Love is so simple that it scares me to realize

How little we know of it after all of this time

I still wait for it to notice me

But really it was just how little we know of ourselves

To notice it’s waiting at the gate!

Meat and Potatoes

What you have in common is your key

What you do not is your acceptance

And what you like or do not like is your tolerance

And what you are not knowing of yet is your growth

Anyone can have sex, however can anyone have a relationship

A partnership

We all know how to meet

Yet do we all know how to stay

How to stand still in compromise when things do not go our way

When we are scared to have the love of another

And we want to run away just because we do not know what else to do

A relationship is our growing ground

And in the best case scenario

In safety

To grow and still be loved

It is a very hard thing to do when you are in argument

and then rekindle the parts where we like being vulnerable

And we open ourselves to loving in the freedom of how see love

rather than what love is supposed to look like

We can decide that, we can choose to stay and fight

Fight for an us

For a place to stay

for what love can mean if we let it

It is our acceptance of us,

Of each of us

And then the bigger us

It is the compromise that we miss when we are alone

And the promise we feel when we are together

Our lives are meant for many things

And one big one is getting along

With ourselves

And then with others

That is both the meat and the potatoes

It is the meal

It is the balance

It is not having to choose one or the other

It is living in love as you know it, learn it, breath it, look for it and become it

Our love already exists in us

Postponing it because we are waiting for lightning to strike

Rather than a partnership

A look rather than a person

Stuff instead of love first

Then we have found every way around love and not in it

In it, as we find over time is the only way to go

And we would give everything to know it

So know it

We would give everything to meet someone

So let yourself

Without judgment

Warmth does not have a look

Truth does not have a price tag

And love does not have one definition

Fill your plate

With all your thoughts in real life

And real life exceeding your dreams

That is when you know you found life in life

And life in heart

Warmth in soul

And balance that extends itself to your home, your relationships, your work

Wake Up Love

The Love we need now

Is love that is unspoken

We feel so energized when we are noticed

Not the attentions that you would think

Like the big awards or the new things we can have

It is in the conversations, where both people can look each other in the eye

It is in the meals shared, that were prepared together and eaten together

It is in the leftovers that you cannot wait to eat

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

What A Spoon Can Tell You

When you walk past the sink, and it is clean
Are you the person who drops the spoon in
Or are you the one that walks by and cleans it
Do you only wash it if someone else is there
or do you leave it for someone else to take on your work
~
Are we really getting away with anything when we try not to do something
We try so hard to get out of this, get out of that
~
It is the truth as it is
You either do or you don’t
Some wait until the sink is full
And others wash and dry as they go
Some keep the Oh I have to do this, to do that, before I can relax
When cleaning up as you go along
Cleans up your mind as you think along, speak to another, or even watch a program on TV
~
That spoon really tells its own story
Do you hold onto your stuff
Do you let it go
Do you take things on right off
Or do you wait until you have piled up so much stuff inside
And you keep waiting for the day to clean it all up at once
~
Do you just eat your best everyday
Or are you the one who will diet tomorrow and eat everything in sight today?
Are you a planner or does everything all of a sudden happen to you?
~
Each of these types of people, they are all of us
Trying to say one thing when we are another is our biggest bluff
And the blaming of others, for who we are, has also been the bigger bluff
~
Once you clean up as you go along
You are just telling yourself the truth as you live your life
and those who threw it in and walk right by it
Are the pilers of everything else
They will not tell you first off what they actually mean
And they will only come clean when they are caught
And maybe not even then
~
Start washing the spoon in the clean sink
And you will find, you start finishing all the little things that start to take on weight much sooner
When you walk by, stop yourself and remind yourself it is your job too
No using others for you
and you will stop running from tasks and either decide to do them or not
~
Honesty isn’t so far away
It is as simple as a dirty spoon, you either clean it or you don’t
~
Love isn’t so far away
You either share it or you don’t
~
Truth is always around
And Purity is the cleanliness of your soul
~
Clean the spoon, Clear your mind, and go on to the next thing
Clutter is man made, not a natural part of us
Clean purifies as you cleanse
Cleansing is the weightlessness of our days, our thoughts, and how we are with others
Anything else is the delaying of our self love, until we finish all our tasks that we walk by

Would You Know You?

Who would you be if no one you now know knew you?

What would you say about yourself?

What would you start with?

What would you say your hobby is?

What work you do?

How much you love it?

What it means to you, to your life to do what you do?

 

How could you see your intentions when you feel like you will die if things don’t go your way?

How flexible are you to change of heart, of mind, when you are challenged?

Do you know who you are with Money and without it?

Are you generous when you are happy?

Are you mean when you are mad?

Do you think about the other persons point of view when you are in a disagreement?

Do you go out of your way to say thank you when you are thankful?

Is expressing yourself in times of argument easy for you?

 

When someone speaks to you, and tells you an observation of you

Do you get defensive or do you consider that they spoke this to you for good reason?

When you speak to someone, do you consider how you would respond to be spoken to in the same way?

 

These are a lot of questions

Questions of self definition

Of who you are inside and what it looks like on the outside

People are not blind, and never are we within ourselves

 

Sometimes it is just a matter of answering your own questions, that reminds you of who you are

Where you are when it comes to dealing with yourself, your life, and if you are just passing time

Or using time to grow your soul, in your truth, without trying to be something you are not yet ready to be

Or standing still too long before you act and then feeling like you can not catch up

Define yourself and you will see better what you are looking for

Wanting that comes from heart, rather than all the other reasons that leave us feeling unfulfilled

 

Trust in your ability to answer such questions

And Trust the rest will come as you go along

There is not ever only one answer

Yet only one answer will lead you to the rest

 

Who would you be if no one you now know knew you?

Tell yourself out loud as though you were speaking to another

Hear your words and find your truth in them

It is already there, waiting for you to notice

It is simply time to take on more of you

We always know when

It is just that we can’t start anything

Without actually starting

Start with the questions and your mind will do the rest

All you need to do is plant the seed

Imagine meeting you

Would you know you?

The Music Of Love

One day we wake up singing

A song to a happy tune

Without a prompt or a reason

Without music or noise

Only the excitement of seeing you

 

Today we are getting married

Saying Yes to each other

without further ado

 

Love is the trail we followed

Learned each other in safety and grew

Let our ugly find itself, showed it to you

You said, Hey that’s OK

I am still here for you

 

I learned me through you

You told me the truth

You speak to me, it is not only you

It is you and me, and we are two

 

There is strength in numbers

When the two are in truth

Someone to say to you

this works for me too

 

Love is not a show

or does it come with a map

Love’s design is to teach us

And build life without holes, without traps

 

It is a place of safety

To speak that I am still OK

Even when I don’t feel like it

Even when I am too tired to see my way

 

One of us is always leading

Learned partnership that way

Each day is an open conversation

Of all we can share and build, a story page by page

 

Nothing comes all at once

It would leave us dry and bored

Love comes in surprises

Of all we thought it could not be

Love is the surprise of our souls

When it show me, me

 

The more I can see of me

The more I find in you

The treasures of us as people

And adding the love in there too

Thank you for saying

when you do this it hurts me

It made me see you

and you taught me to care

As you show me how you care for you

I have learned to care for me

 

I find that the more I learn

I more I understand you

The greater my challenges

that eliminate the feelings of something I can not say

 

You opened the door of my soul

With your openness to me

You teach me to be

Without trying to be better than me

 

I realize there is nothing you could want

Other than to tell me the truth

I realize there is nothing I can give

Other than my purity to you

 

Love is invisible

Yet it is felt in its strength

It is the bond we can not see

Yet the bond of everyday

Love is not a person, a place or a thing

Love is my emotion, that I bring to each day

Love is my compass of where I go, and where I stay

Love is the open ended answer

 

As many questions as it presents

It is those very questions

Whose answers are fought for

And learned of

That teaches my soul

Its one main purpose

To love, honor, and live

In today, in the present

 

I stand before myself in completeness

As I see it in you

No fear in growing further

No lines drawn in the sand

No more saying what if….

It is here that I stand

I stand for us

The “us” we have become

The world that we built

With those that we love

The house that we fill

With our everyday of thoughts

The home that we carry

Everywhere we go

 

Love is not physical

You have taught me

Thank you, my love

My love’s freedom

That I have come to see

Thank you, my love

We are an “us”

And still a “you” and a “me”

A Bottle of Hope

What does it look like when we have hope

We walk faster

We talk more

We involve others

We try new things

We wear different colors

And we insist on trying until we succeed

 

We sing to songs

We listen to others

It is not so important that we are “right”

 

We need less sleep

We don’t over eat

We exercise

And we say good morning

 

We listen to “happy” music

We dance while we are walking

We see someone who is having a bad day and we say we are sorry

We help someone who needs it

And we accept help when we need it

 

Hope is the promise of our souls capacity

Hope is the reason we remember why we are alive

Hope is the person who reminds us

That Hope is always nearby

 

Hope reminds us that love is available

As hope is the purpose of our actions

Whatever it is that we hope for,

We are in hope when we feel promise

Promise of ourselves in our highest honor

Honor of actions and what they may mean

 

Hope is the rainbow after the rain

The cool drink on a hot day

The right words as you needed them

The smell of something baking while you are asleep

The bath where you actually sit in the water

The moment you walk by someone you haven’t seen in years

The check that comes in the mail you didn’t expect it

The willingness to understand if something doesn’t work out

 

Hope is the basis, the reason

That we have an incentive to grow on

To say I’ll try

To change directions

And to know ourselves well enough to say no when we are stretching ourselves too thin

Hope is not being scared when the check is not in the mail

Someone we thought was right for us isn’t and we understand why

And the love of self enough to know all of these things are simply a part of life

 

Hope is alive as we are alive

Hope is the possibilities of our hearts

Given a forum to test, push and pull the best of ourselves

And find the depth in which we can be

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!
