Let me explain something...the futile argument of something versus nothing
Now let me explain something... well actually I can't. The only thing I
can do is point at something and hope that you the viewer will be able
to
gather enough from my pointing that you eventually experience something.
But in actual fact in order for me to really point at something I would
have
to be pointing away from nothing.
Indeed I would have to point in all directions at once including my own pointing device be it my finger, word or existence. Now consider that for a moment. How do I point with a device at itself and at the same time point away from it in all directions without occupying all spaces and thus eliminating the very nothing i am trying to point away from? Well I can not. So how do i then explain ? Like I said I can't.
Confused? I hope so because in being so you might be closer to something than you have ever been before. You see something is nothing in it's own right. That's right. Something is just a relationship, a disctinction that we make in order to filter our experience into manageable chunks of nothing that we then use inorder to experience something. See where that leaves you.... It left me with chunks of nothing.
Now let me explain nothing instead... well I can't do that either. Because I would have to point at nothing. But the mere action of pointing has left me in the land of something and not at all anywhere near the nothing i wanted to point out. No matter how hard I try to point with my being be it with vocabulary, actions or anything else for that matter that i can think of all I will end up doing is leading you on a path so far away from nothing that you will end up back where you started. I.e with big manageable chunks of nothing that you call something.
So where am I getting with this? Hopefully nowhere and fast. The point being that there is no point. No matter how you try to put something versus nothing in any argument. No matter how strong you think your argument might be for either something or nothing of that something you will end up with a mish mash of something and nothing which means anything.
Enter the great missunderstanding in all arguments. The assumption that the other person is someone speaking on something rather than noone speaking on nothing and vice versa. See we argue everything based on assumptions we make. Mostly the assumption is that our experience is somewhat or entirely equal to the experience of the other. When that other uses pointing devices (words or actions) that you do not recognise you immediately assume this someone is wrong about something. However the fact is no one is right about anything.... The best we can do is to get as close to nothing as we can in our search for an experience of something, and in experiencing something we finally come to understand what is nothing.
I know this will sound like gibberish to some and to some it will mean something. Again case in point. There is no one point and what decides is not my intention, your intention, the pointing device or any other such thing that we use to measure the reality of something. Ones experience determines what is. And the experience is entirely based on the ability to cut up nothing into imaginary chunks that you call data or facts. Then how well you compare your collected chunks of nothing with even more chunks of the same determines how well you seem to be able to reason, solve and act at any moment. How close your chunks of nothing resembles the chunks of nothing someone else has collected will amount to how agreeable you find that someone. Someone who is actually just your perception of noone cutting nothing into imaginary chunks.
Absurd? Yes very. But this is just one way of trying to explain to you how much of anything is actually down to your perception or experience as supposed to what some call a fact of a place called reality where something takes place.
Something versus nothing is what is absurd without a context to relate it to it just becomes a total mess as can be seen above. You need nothing in order to point at something by the same token you need to know something in order to point at nothing. Neither is better, higher, wiser than the other. But used within the correct context can actually have meaning within the context of experience.
Just my two cents of nothing created into something. Now what do you make of it?
much love and light

I am perfect because...
I love you. Yes you. Not the you you wish you were, the you you were
yesterday, or the you you could become. I just love you, like that, pure
and
simple.
Why? Because I can.
I don't need a reason to love you, other than that you are. I want nothing in return, no recognition and no special action from you. All I ask is that you accept who/how I am. No amount of telling me that I am delusional, insincere or plain dumb is going to change that I love you. And I do so with no special condition on your being.
You are my experience, my mirror and my teacher, without you I would not know what I know, grow the way I do and be able to share in this being. Without you I would be a point in time, a brief moment without goal or reason. Without you I would be obsolete.
When I tell you I love you even after we disagree I am not being sarcastic, I am not trying to make myself superior to you, I am just being honest with how I feel about you. Because what ever you did or did not do how ever painful or filled with joy that experience was to me I recognize that without you that experience would never have been.
This is the being I have always been, the being that loves you as you are, no questions asked, no conditions and no expectations. I love you and I love seeing your potential fulfilled.
See when I am feeling lonely I get hope from seeing that you are not. When I am wrong, you teach me what is right. When I have, you teach me how to give. When I lack, you teach me how to receive. When I want to withdraw from the world, you pull me out of my shell. When I take too much space, you put me in my place. Without you I have no balance. I am just a one way force aimlessly moving in all directions without a post with which to measure my advances.
So to the you's that want to tell me I lie, to the you's that tell me it's impossible. I love you for all the reasons and more that I told you of above.
I am you and I am perfect because you are
Thank you

I Am defining awarness....just thoughts
The concept of eliminating the Ego also sometimes confused by the I Am awareness is something that features heavily in spiritual awareness circles as a desirable goal. Get rid of the ego (I Am) and live in permanent bliss. But is this really true? Who do you know Guru or otherwise, that is not aware that they are. That do not respond by saying I Am when asked a question as to their state of being.
I tend to think that nature has provided for us in every way possible and that we have all the necessary tools with us to reach awareness. The I Am and the ego (which are separate manifestations of conscious awareness of being) are no different.
To reach awareness one just need to understand what they are and their purpose in the larger scheme of being. But in essence just being is quite enough, and exactly what is needed to become aware.
In my understanding the I Am is another word for recognition of what makes us unique to any given situation. We use I Am to define our boundaries to the world, so that we can use those to explore everything that is not included in our I Am function.
For example saying "I Am Angela" clearly defines that in order to get your attention one must call for Angela. However Angela does not describe anything at all. It is just a sound. So really you are not Angela, the sound to get your attention is. Yet we put all our identity into that sound as if our living depended on it. When we put this into perspective we might find just how absurd it really is by stating:
"Hi I Am A Name."
We can then go on to state all the things we recognize as part of our I Am experience like, our occupation, our civil state, our age, our height, emotional state etc etc. What we find is that the only thing that is constant is our belief that we are. I Am.
So in essence I Am is simply awareness of being in its purest form. And is endless in it's possibilities. The only true and permanent answer to any question about who and what is I Am.
When we recognize that the I Am rather than define us and bind us is what frees us and allow us to experience anything and everything - we come to realize our true potential as beings. Welcome to awareness of being. Or being aware.
So if the I Am is pure awareness then what is the Ego and how are they different?
Well Ego to my understanding is the control center of being. It is what wants us safe and well so that we can carry on being awareness for as long as possible. It seeks out answers to what if questions in order to understand possibilities within the boundaries of our accumulated experiences. The Ego does not like sudden changes. It wants organized predictable chunks of reality events to deal with, so that it can carry out it's task of evaluating what ifs and protect our being from transitioning into unknown territory where certainty of awareness might not exist.
Further more Ego loves I Am but it is not it. This can easily be tested by saying out aloud "I Am Ego". It doesn't make sense because we are not. I Am and Ego is it's keeper. When we say "I Am Egoistic" we are not saying we are the Ego but rather that the I Am is focusing on the Ego function. The Ego in that sense is to our I Am as an arm is to our bodies. Just one part within I Am. A tool.
Now that we understand this we also see how preposterous it is to try to eliminate the Ego from our being. Rather than seeking to destroy it all we have to do is understand that Ego is not always right in it's ways and does not always see things clearly. Nor is it always necessary to listen to the Ego's ranting about what should be. We can, when we are aware ignore the Ego entirely as and when we are required to in order to move beyond our current boundaries. This in my view is what being conscious or enlightened means. Recognition that I Am is the only thing that we are. We are all it.
I Am and so are you
Just for today embrace the I Am, allow the I Am to be to it's fullest potential, because you are no more and no less...

Awekening, enlightenment, awareness....
Awakening have all the symptoms and disorientation of waking up.
Enlightenment is what happens when your 'eyes' are still adjusting to the light being turned on.
Awareness is what comes after and the state of both being awake and seeing clearly what was always there when you were still asleep and too deep in dreamland to notice.
We too often confuse the exiting energizing stage of waking up and enlightenment with a desired higher state of permanence when in fact they are only transitional stages.
Stay exited for too long and you will eventually burn out.
Waking up and turning on the light is not the days work, it is what you do once you are awake that is. Part of it, is knowing when to rest and go back to sleep.

Life, the universe and everything...just one way of seeing it
Who are we? Explorers
Of what? Existence
To what end? To be
How did we come to be? Through process
What is this all about? You
What are you? Everything you experience
What is the sky? You perception of limit
What is the universe? Your actual limit
How large is the universe? As large as your perception of it
What is time? Your measure of noticeable changes
What is size? A way for you to assess importance in relation to you
What contains our universe? Nothing
What is contained within the 'uni' verse? Everything
Are there other universes? Yes
What is the other universe? Nothing
What are multiverses? Containers of perception
Can the truth be discovered? Yes you are discovering it now
What is the biggest mystery? The one yet to be understood
What is the practical implication of all this?
Imo the implication is we are only as limited as we believe we are. What about physical laws? They are what we believe and so are what limit us. As soon as out understanding of physics expands so does our limits. We are a collective experience and until the collective moves up a notch in believes, what you experience apart from the collective will always be seen as a figment of your own imagination. However not so. Because looking at history we find that what was once a figment of someones imagination has become the reality of everyones existence later on. What is 'real' is what the collective 'decides' it is able to process within it's experience. Our minds register alot of things that we do not acknowledge because the information is not 'useful' to make decisions in what currently is the functional reality. When the functional reality changes so does our mind filters. Just think about it this way. How many things have you experienced that you later have been told were just in your mind? What would have happened if you'd been told they were valid in terms of everyone elses minds? Would reality have been somewhat different? I think so. Would your mind have processed following experiences differently? Yes i very much believe so.
So in light of the above I say...enjoy your exploration and search because this is who you are. And be happy for it as long as there are no definite conclusions to anything. Because if there were and you reached it then nothing would happen and you would be obsolete. Somethings we discover may make us feel temporarily stagnant however when you turn it a few times in yor mind you will find that everything is as it always was and with a little more knowledge comes the choice to incorporate it asuseful or discard it as useless. That is the burden of knowledge.
Remember the first time you saw a ball. Ohh the exitement. What is it? You probably bit into it, touched it, smelled it, tasted it, threw it and finally one day you understood it. Then you got bored for a moment until you discovered ball games. So even if the object to you is 'just a ball' now, you'll probalby go through a whole lifetime finding new uses for it and enjoying it again and again. To me that is life as a human searching for truth. First you must understand the thing, then you will find uses for it and then you use it as and when it is required.
Much love and enjoy the journey

What is
Between what is and what is not reigns the possibility of what could be. Some minds search through what is not looking for possibilities, some search possibilities for the answer to what is. Regardless of where you look the reality is, there is no where else you could be than right where you are.
On the now
Now encompass everything that is at any given moment. Every moment is fleeting and in the now. There is only now. What ever you do you do now. What ever you think you are thinking now. What ever you feel you feel it now. And since now is fleeting so are the things within the now. Now is as long or short as your perception allows. Some now extend over larger periods than others to our general perception. But when you accept that at any given now the now that preceeded and the now that followed are as different to one another as the now that is now. You realise that it is all in your mind. Even the now as you in reality is experience that now that already passed and are always processing the now that followed. What this means is that there is only now and all things are here. Past, present and future happening at once.

Love, light and balance a philosophy of living pt1.
Love, light and balance has been a concept of mine that has over time grown into being a life philosophy. Originally it was just love and light but as time grew on it was obvious that something was missing... balance.
So as so many have told me love, light and balance is just another one of those things people say who want to sound spiritual but in reality has no foundation in day to day living. Well not so, at least not for me.
It amazes me how we as humans are so quick to draw conclusions about another and their ideas based on our own feelings about any particular subject. When faced with a certain set of words or a combination of such we quickly decide whether we are going to listen or disregard everything said from that point on. So without further a do I will try to describe to you what love, light and balance is and how i came to adopt it not only as a fancy greeting but also as something I am striving towards in every and any situation life throws at me.
Love
What is love?
This is a question that I have been asking myself ever since there was a self to ask the question. It is something that have been felt since the beginning but over time has taken on various expressions positive as well as negative. When I ask people define love, most will go on to talk about relationships in some shape or form. Some people will outright tell me they do not believe in love as if love was some sort of illusory idea that only exists for those who believe. Others claim not to know what it means.
For me however love is...and it is as simple as that. When all other emotions are removed, we are a total peace and are not viewing the world through our angled self fulfilling ideals what is there? Well what i found was that there was not a void but a possibility. It is a place of potential energy and when left alone this energy will ebb and flow undisrupted through our body system and give rise to a feeling of calm harmonious movement.
This to me is love. The basic energy that has the potential of becoming any movement be it emotional, physical or mental. It is attraction in it's purest form, attraction being a force that moves us or steers us in a direction as supposed to another. When all else is left out, all our preconceptions of what love does, should do, did not do for us, all thoughts on what love feels like and should and should not make us feel, and when any other subjective thought and movement is left out there is love.
Many talk about pure love as being something that takes a particular expression but in my opinion love in it's purest form just is. Nothing more nothing less.
Love just is?
Huh? So love just is? There is nothing I need to do or no one i need to project unto for love to be?
Exactly. Love just is and there in lies it's beauty. If love is the potential for all movement, emotions, motion, motivation and feelings then love must be in everything that we do. In every thought that we have, every motion that we create, every emotion that we experience, every interaction that we have. Then everything that is in motion must be in love...this then must mean that I am in love, am of love and do love all day every day without having to DO anything other than just be.
To me this realization confirmed what I have always felt in my very being. No matter how much I was shaped into a person that said things like I hate this or that, or I dislike such and such in the end to me it was all aspects of one and the same. What appeared to be an opposite emotion from love was in fact the same experienced from a different perspective. i realised that Hate could not be without love. Hate more often than not if not always seems to be a direct expression of love. Love for something and not something else. But what was even more important to me was that hate seemed to be something that existed only as a result of a desire.
As I searched through all the emotions I realized that the same could be said for all them. They were attached to desired events. Even love as it was in my mind attached to the interaction between a potential partner and myself seemed to be just that. A desired outcome that either did or did not materialize. But there was one major difference and that was when there was no desire for any outcome and all was left as is, love seemed to still be there. Only this time without any specific cause or direction. The direction it took was up to me.
Love is not a choice
So after all, when it dawned on me that love is not a choice and it is in fact in everything i do, be it good or bad, there was a choice to be made. The choice was not to love or not, but what to do with this love that was there no matter what.
To me the choice was simple. And so then and there my journey recognizing that love is began with allowing love to be. No need to search for any illusions, or pointers as to when and where love was going to happen because it was and is already with me.
Light
What is light? Well some say it is a particle and some say it is a wave form. Some believe light is vision and clarity and some that light is just a separation from darkness. To me light is what happens when we recognize a thing, place or experience. When we move from unawareness to awareness. When a thing takes a shape and form and becomes something that we can process. Light can be visual or spiritual, mental or emotional. In any case light is what we do when we move from one experience through the next. Light is awareness in all it's shapes and forms.
I have had many discussions with people who believe that we came from a darkness and abyss of nothingness into something ness and that most is dark. Well this is a way of seeing it. But that darkness or abyss of nothing ness is only so because we have yet to begin the experience of being aware. And as such to me there is no such thing as darkness only unawareness of the light that is there. It is like when you open your eyes and begin to see, it is not that everything was dark around you it is just that you did not yet take in and recognize that light that was always around you.
And so light is not only vision it is also knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Every shape or form that awareness may take may be be equalled to light.. And so my experience what ever it may be is that of light and my being is ever in search for new light and others see me through the light.
Balance
Our experience is one of movement through light. What is movement. Well in essence it is a relative state. For something to move it has to be something. For it to be something it has to be separate from something else. How does it do that? Well something is essentially a cumulation of mass into a compacted seemingly enclosed area. This accumulation or compacted area whether it seems stationary or not is essentially made up of moving parts. What makes it something is the relative distance of theses parts in relation to the surrounding parts and their distances.
Once there is a something and a something else or something and it's surrounding less dense parts we can recognise movement. As things move in relation to one another there is a pattern emerging. A pattern that always strives towards equal distribution of parts so that no imaginary space or side is more filled with parts than another. But this is not a stationary balances. It is a balance in motion. One part moves making another move in another direction to accommodate the movement of the first. This is the balance. It's an equilibria state. A waveform or particle movement striving to reach the ultimate distribution state but never quite reaching it.
It is what life and all it's components do. And so it is also something i felt necessary to adopt in my day to day living. I recognize that there is a balance in everything. That ever event has it's balancing partner not necessarily one that i may see or recognize at a glance but never the less it is so. As such I decided to promote this balance by aiming for balance in my own actions, and recognizing the balance that may come out of events out of my hands.
So with love as my motivator, light as my experiencer and balance as my goal I travel my journey through life with a new set of tools. And thus far they have served me well in providing a better more productive experience than what was had before all this was realized.
So I hope that this short writing has explained to those of you who question my motives and understanding of love, light and balance. This is what it is nothing more nothing less. Take from it what you may.
I love you in light and balance always
So as so many have told me love, light and balance is just another one of those things people say who want to sound spiritual but in reality has no foundation in day to day living. Well not so, at least not for me.
It amazes me how we as humans are so quick to draw conclusions about another and their ideas based on our own feelings about any particular subject. When faced with a certain set of words or a combination of such we quickly decide whether we are going to listen or disregard everything said from that point on. So without further a do I will try to describe to you what love, light and balance is and how i came to adopt it not only as a fancy greeting but also as something I am striving towards in every and any situation life throws at me.
Love
What is love?
This is a question that I have been asking myself ever since there was a self to ask the question. It is something that have been felt since the beginning but over time has taken on various expressions positive as well as negative. When I ask people define love, most will go on to talk about relationships in some shape or form. Some people will outright tell me they do not believe in love as if love was some sort of illusory idea that only exists for those who believe. Others claim not to know what it means.
For me however love is...and it is as simple as that. When all other emotions are removed, we are a total peace and are not viewing the world through our angled self fulfilling ideals what is there? Well what i found was that there was not a void but a possibility. It is a place of potential energy and when left alone this energy will ebb and flow undisrupted through our body system and give rise to a feeling of calm harmonious movement.
This to me is love. The basic energy that has the potential of becoming any movement be it emotional, physical or mental. It is attraction in it's purest form, attraction being a force that moves us or steers us in a direction as supposed to another. When all else is left out, all our preconceptions of what love does, should do, did not do for us, all thoughts on what love feels like and should and should not make us feel, and when any other subjective thought and movement is left out there is love.
Many talk about pure love as being something that takes a particular expression but in my opinion love in it's purest form just is. Nothing more nothing less.
Love just is?
Huh? So love just is? There is nothing I need to do or no one i need to project unto for love to be?
Exactly. Love just is and there in lies it's beauty. If love is the potential for all movement, emotions, motion, motivation and feelings then love must be in everything that we do. In every thought that we have, every motion that we create, every emotion that we experience, every interaction that we have. Then everything that is in motion must be in love...this then must mean that I am in love, am of love and do love all day every day without having to DO anything other than just be.
To me this realization confirmed what I have always felt in my very being. No matter how much I was shaped into a person that said things like I hate this or that, or I dislike such and such in the end to me it was all aspects of one and the same. What appeared to be an opposite emotion from love was in fact the same experienced from a different perspective. i realised that Hate could not be without love. Hate more often than not if not always seems to be a direct expression of love. Love for something and not something else. But what was even more important to me was that hate seemed to be something that existed only as a result of a desire.
As I searched through all the emotions I realized that the same could be said for all them. They were attached to desired events. Even love as it was in my mind attached to the interaction between a potential partner and myself seemed to be just that. A desired outcome that either did or did not materialize. But there was one major difference and that was when there was no desire for any outcome and all was left as is, love seemed to still be there. Only this time without any specific cause or direction. The direction it took was up to me.
Love is not a choice
So after all, when it dawned on me that love is not a choice and it is in fact in everything i do, be it good or bad, there was a choice to be made. The choice was not to love or not, but what to do with this love that was there no matter what.
To me the choice was simple. And so then and there my journey recognizing that love is began with allowing love to be. No need to search for any illusions, or pointers as to when and where love was going to happen because it was and is already with me.
Light
What is light? Well some say it is a particle and some say it is a wave form. Some believe light is vision and clarity and some that light is just a separation from darkness. To me light is what happens when we recognize a thing, place or experience. When we move from unawareness to awareness. When a thing takes a shape and form and becomes something that we can process. Light can be visual or spiritual, mental or emotional. In any case light is what we do when we move from one experience through the next. Light is awareness in all it's shapes and forms.
I have had many discussions with people who believe that we came from a darkness and abyss of nothingness into something ness and that most is dark. Well this is a way of seeing it. But that darkness or abyss of nothing ness is only so because we have yet to begin the experience of being aware. And as such to me there is no such thing as darkness only unawareness of the light that is there. It is like when you open your eyes and begin to see, it is not that everything was dark around you it is just that you did not yet take in and recognize that light that was always around you.
And so light is not only vision it is also knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Every shape or form that awareness may take may be be equalled to light.. And so my experience what ever it may be is that of light and my being is ever in search for new light and others see me through the light.

Interpretation
If I wanted to say, what words should I chose? That you might understand what it means. For what ever I say and what ever the sound it would fail to describe it to you.
If I wanted to show, what moves should I make. That you might see what it does to me. For how ever I move and in what ever shape it would not be mean the same things to you.
If I wanted touch what part should I chose. That you might feel the same as I do. For where ever I touch and in what ever way it would not feel the same to you.
So all I can do is chose one word, one movement and one gentle touch
and hope that those three will describe to you the love that I feel and how much.
If I wanted to show, what moves should I make. That you might see what it does to me. For how ever I move and in what ever shape it would not be mean the same things to you.
If I wanted touch what part should I chose. That you might feel the same as I do. For where ever I touch and in what ever way it would not feel the same to you.
So all I can do is chose one word, one movement and one gentle touch
and hope that those three will describe to you the love that I feel and how much.

Being alone
Sitting on a rock in the sunshine in the middle of my city I gather strength to continue on with the day to day. I often come here these days...My safe haven a peaceful place where I can think I let my mind stray. I realize that it is ok. It's ok to be as I am and to let you be as you are. A feeling builds inside of me as I let things be. My heart is filled with love felt unconditionally. And even as I let this feeling grow and realize I am all alone. It is ok. How I would love to share this moment of bliss. But even as sadness exists in the solitude of this moment. I realize that it is Ok. Because I hold in me the greatest gift of unconditional love for all that is. And it is ok.
On this day
Open like a book I will fight your deceite with my honesty. Out of love with love in love I may. I will not fall i will not faulter on this day. And if you take my love from me I will give you the love of souls in the millions. And if you take my light away I will shine with the stregth of stars in the billions. I will not lay down i will not go astray. And on my darkest hour on the darkest day you will not have me, no way. I am a soldier of the light that lead the way. You may take all that I am - but you will not have me on this day.
Here's to you...a declaration of love
Here's to you who love me, thank you for showing me the light
Here's to you who care for me thank for showing me my worth
Here's to you who hate me thanks for showing me how to love
Here's to you who have hurt me thanks for showing me how to forgive
Here's to you who have put me in my place thanks for showing me how to be humble Here's to you who left me thanks for showing me how to let go
Here's to you who challenge me thanks for showing how to grow
Here's to you who don't understand me for showing me how to be on my own
Here's to you who understand thanks for showing me I belong
Here's to you who gave me nothing thanks for showing me all that I have
Here's to you who gave me the world thanks for giving me life
Here's to all my enemies and my friends past, present and those who will be until the end
Love is the gift I give you for it is that from which I came and all that I am
Here's to you who care for me thank for showing me my worth
Here's to you who hate me thanks for showing me how to love
Here's to you who have hurt me thanks for showing me how to forgive
Here's to you who have put me in my place thanks for showing me how to be humble Here's to you who left me thanks for showing me how to let go
Here's to you who challenge me thanks for showing how to grow
Here's to you who don't understand me for showing me how to be on my own
Here's to you who understand thanks for showing me I belong
Here's to you who gave me nothing thanks for showing me all that I have
Here's to you who gave me the world thanks for giving me life
Here's to all my enemies and my friends past, present and those who will be until the end

Living in the now
Your life is now in this moment, not yesterday or three seconds ago but now. Right here, in these words on this page in your chair. Life is... Not in the tomorrow or days to come, not in the moment after this one. Life is now. And if your now is not the now of your dreams then know that now is all there is. Your dreams are now right here where you are, so be just exactly as you are. No need to try to change your now for now will change anyhow. From moment to moment eternally realise that now is when to love, to live to rejoice and be free. The veil that has been placed over you eyes is the notion that life happens not now, but futurewise. But that future is now right where you are, the future is never any more far than the moment which is now. Now that you are here in the now which is, be love, feel loved and give love like this. In every second of every day with every part of you that may. Attract that which you want in this now, for living in the now is all there is.
Inpspiration pt1. Love IS
It is in the little things that we do. Love doesn't have to be difficult or expressed in a particular way....it just IS - the foundation of every new day that dawns....and every sun that sets. It is the force that eggs us on to seek new horizons or to stay and explore the ones we already know. It is there on the face of every being ebbing and flowing to the rythm of our lives.
Often we don't take notice of the love that simmers under the surface of every ordinary day. But it is there transforming and creating within your life. And some times it stops it's activity and just IS....and it blows your mind way. The split second realisation that love is inside of you and all around you. It is in the last spec of light making it's way up the facade of that house across the road. It is in the air that enters and exists your system as you inhale and exhale. It is on the face of your children as they look upon you the center of their world. It is in the chair that you sit on, the road that you walk and all your devices. It is in all that you feel and all that you experience. It is you. You are Love together with the rest of creation.
And when you stop and come to the realisation that all is because of love then there is only one way forward and that is in love. And that is where you find me. In love with the life that happens all around me all the time. No matter the struggle I may face I face it in love and that struggle is my lover showing me how to be better, stronger wiser in my love. Raising me one telling me to show what I got and give more on top. Challenging me to prove to my self that I am love, in love and of love.
And in the end all is well. For love is and I am and we are the union, the creation and life all in one. And I smile in the presence of the love that IS .....

I sigh
I sigh, you smile, I wonder what that means? So sure, now nothing makes sense anymore. I knew, now I'm not at all secure. I search inside my mind, all I find is you smiling as I sigh. I wonder why? Should I laugh or cry, or just lay down and die? I sigh, you smile...
... I wonder what that means. Did you see inside my dreams? Before I was, now I feel so lost. I try to fake, did you catch the mistake? I smile, you sight. Now what? I want to cry and really want to die. I sigh, you smile...
...I wonder do you know, that I am deep in your control. I panick, need to go, I don't want you to know. If I tell you will you say, that you knew it anyway? I sigh, you smile....
...I feel so lost. Must hide what I feel at all cost. Cause no way could it be, that you are into me. I wonder how a kiss would feel. I sigh, you smile, I blush! Oh no, now he must really know. You smile, I sigh.... and as you say good bye we kiss. Oh the perfect bliss. I sigh, you smile....and everything just is
