Rainbows in the Sky

Just when you think you know what the sky holds and the clouds look like, you glance upwards and see a swirling prism glistening on the wide blue canvas above you. Then,  you remember the magnificence, the bliss, the joy that are always there for you…if you just notice.

Blossom

IMG_7421

Root down in humility.

Let love shower over you like a soft spring rain,

The warm rays of peace and ease fill you.

So full, whole and content

That love and joy have no option

But to penetrate existing boundaries,

Bursting, springing, popping out into the world.

Allow self love to bud and peace and joy blossom.

Equinimity

To receive it on the outside, achieve it on the inside.

Clouds of anger, judgment, and doubt that swirl within

Block the rays of love, acceptance and trust that shine without.

Peace on the inside…Peace on the outside.

Always in Season

season

Love and joy are always there, just like the water and the air.

Sometimes it seems as if they only have a time or season,

As if waiting to blossom, like the first buds of spring.

Though, when my heart is open, I see they are always there,

Ebbing, flowing, budding, blossoming, no matter when or where.

Smiling Eyes

eyes 2

When the care is genuine, unconditional and free,

the eyes portray that authenticity.

When you truly love what you do and where you are,

the heart shines, the air softens, the eyes smile.

When you look into smiling eyes,

there you find hope, joy, inspiration.

Intension

I am0001

No expectations.

No resolutions.

Just Intention.

Your desired gift to yourself and the world, celebrated, shared.

Put away doubt and fear.

Repeat your intention with truth — make it so.

“I am…”

Radiant…joyful…powerful…open…beautiful…graceful…confident…inspiring…

Calm…strong…grounded…intelligent…aware…wise…

Compassion…acceptance…love…peace…

I am…

I AM.

Evergreen

evergreen 4

Stand strong no matter temperature or conditions.

Shed the occasional brown needle with the wind.

Be nurtured and inspired by the earth, sun, and rain.

Stay evergreen with love and kindness.

And you will stand out in the forest amongst the trees.

Love in action

Love in action 2

Compassion is love in action.

When you are compassionate with others, you accept them in a space of humble kindness.  You are not excusing action or inaction on their part, rather you are fully acknowledging that the action or inaction is theirs and they are trying to do their best to be their best.

When you are compassionate with yourself, you invite the richest form of healing and growth imaginable within your deepest Self, knowing you are doing your best to be at your best.

Feel the love…unconditionally.

Feel compassion.
