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

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, love, self help, self love, truth, purity, emotional, balance, soul, feelings, self trust, higher self, honesty on Nov 26th, 2007 No Comments »

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

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, love, originist, self love, truth, honesty, self growth, compassion on Nov 19th, 2007 No Comments »

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

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

Think Love Create Love

Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 26th, 2007 No Comments »

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!

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!

Choose Love

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, new age, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, truth, emotional, balance, soul, feelings on Oct 12th, 2007 1 Comment »

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

Emotional Detox

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, helping others, truth, purity, emotional, detox on Oct 5th, 2007 No Comments »

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

Posted in Uncategorized, spirituality, inspirational, new age, love, self help, relationships, originist, self love, selflessness, helping others, truth, purity on Oct 1st, 2007 1 Comment »

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

Posted in Uncategorized, inspirational, love, relationships, originist, selflessness, helping others, shopping on Sep 28th, 2007 No Comments »

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
