You Are Loved

About Love

 romantic love is 

something like a kaleidoscope,

beautiful, but always changing,

filtered through our minds'

triumphs and tragedies,

and often misunderstood...

but eternal love is unfiltered,

It is the pure joy, peace, and light

that sits at the core of 

our beautiful essence

a love that is unconditional

always there

even when we don't know it,

and even when we think we don't deserve it,

a light within that knows our truth

we are the light,

each of us connected

by our likeness,

all of us beautiful,

all of us loved,

 just the way we are...

and  all of us still

searching outside of ourselves

for something that first must be found

 within ...

from my heart to yours,

may you find the light within,

Chasing Miracles

 

                            

The blues chased me again today,

and I was tired, so instead of running

I paused, closed my eyes

and took a deep breath...

and together, my heart and I

turned to face them,

and for awhile we listened,

their story was sad,

but it was just a story,

a story that was familiar, 

one made up to protect us,

but one that would only

keep us in the shadows

because it wasn't a true story,

  it wasn't who we were,

  or who we wanted to be,

So we thanked the blues

and turned to face the sun,

we inhaled deeply, closed our eyes,

and basked in her warmth...

and it was in that moment, 

we finally understood

we had a choice

we could focus on the blues, 

or choose the miracle,

and since the sun felt so much better,

with a sigh of relief, and some determination,

we turned our backs on the blues,

and feeling blessed, we gave thanks for the sun,

and the moon, and the stars,

and all the little miracles

we knew would be waiting for us that day...

Here's to choosing miracles... 

Sending love and light, and good vibrations,
