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!

What A Spoon Can Tell You

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, self help, love, relationships, originist, selflessness, truth, purity, soul, self accountability, higher self, marriage, self knowledge, honesty, self growth on Nov 12th, 2007 No Comments »

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?

Posted in spirituality, self help, self judgement, self love, balance, soul, feelings, self accountability, self trust, self knowledge on Nov 10th, 2007 No Comments »

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?

A Bottle of Hope

Posted in spirituality, inspirational, new age, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, selflessness, helping others, truth, purity, balance, soul, feelings, self accountability, purpose, higher self, hope on Nov 2nd, 2007 No Comments »

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

Posted in inspirational, love, self help, originist, self love, truth, soul, self accountability, purpose, higher self on Oct 29th, 2007 No Comments »

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

The Space Between You and You

Posted in spirituality, inspirational, self help, new age, love, relationships, originist, self judgement, self love, purity, balance, feelings, self accountability, purpose, self trust on Oct 22nd, 2007 No Comments »

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

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, love, relationships, originist, truth, purity, soul, self accountability, purpose on Oct 19th, 2007 No Comments »

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!
