Once I stopped expecting LOVE, I began the experience of LOVE and the experience of LOVE was beyond my wildest expectations… 

just LOVE…

The greater the challenge, the suffering, the grief, the greater the joy, the wisdom, the faith, the LOVE needed to face, overcome, heal and to ascend beyond; LOVE is and will always be, whether in body, spirit or even soul, our infinite untapped potential there waiting to be remembered and realized… 

just LOVE…

“Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.” ~ William Faulkner

LOVE transforms the desperate stranger, the cringing shadow self in all of us, into the comforting, divine blackness of Infinity that defines the light, we know as life…

just LOVE…

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.” ~ Rumi

“Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.” ~ William Temple

The remembering of LOVE heals and fills the hole, the forgetting in fear rips in the Soul; LOVE makes one what fear tears and hath torn asunder…

just LOVE…

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ~ Rumi

I am beyond expectation of tomorrow
I am not regretted memory
I am experience; the every now
I am the truth that defies explanation
I am LOVE that transcends defined word 
I am Soul in body, embodied 
I spirit freed, free
I am Infinity, to be
I am guardian angel, wisdom gathered 
I am guide, not warrior
I am shelter, not prison
No harm can befall you, when we are as one 
Accept my embrace
I am you… 

just LOVE…

“One of the greatest gifts from God is the eternal perspective. It is a level of fearlessness, a level of understanding where one can experience even emotional harmony with God.” ~ Criss Jami

Once a desperate sailor heading toward certain shipwreck, lost on the violent, greedy sea of the lies of fear, until LOVE like a lighthouse beacon shown, guiding me through hates densest fog and angers darkest shadow, narrowly escaping imminent demise, upon the jagged savage rocks of lost memory and false regret, to the safe calm harbor, home to warm by faith’s gentle flame. to bask in the glow ofremembering, the truth of unconditional LOVE’s eternal perfection… 

just LOVE…

“Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.” 
~ Matthew Arnold

I have experienced the mirages of ecstasy and despair in the barren wasteland of my ego, now I long only to feel bliss, the bountiful garden, forever in bloom that is my Soul in LOVE… 

just LOVE…

“Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread. In these out-of-control moments, we bulldoze through the best possible outcomes for our lives, only to return to the scene of the crime later to cry over spilt milk.” ~ Anthon St. Maarten

Oh ye Kings and Queens of delusion, facilitators of fear based deceptions, how you waste your and our lives crawling apart in the shadowy terrors of your complications, when you and we could be soaring embracing in the brilliant simple illumination that is LOVE’s light… 

just LOVE…

Just as the Sun’s purpose for being is to shine light, serving all life, our eternal destiny is to share LOVE, letting it flow, unimpeded by the impotence of mortal thought; serving, preserving, pre-serving all that is life; we are meant forever to be the guardian, guiding, sheltering Angels of God’s infinite creation…

Be as LOVE is, as that is what we are; those that have remembered will understand…

just LOVE…
