Rumi said, “Love is a fire and I am wood where I burned and burned till all there was ash.”  Let’s catch on fire with Truth and Love and burn up.

Becoming conscious is shedding what everyone has told you and whispering to the stars what the water coming into spring has learned from being ice.

There is a radiance in all things as the emanations of a presence that brightens everything into being.

Rumi said:  “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Let us remove the barriers to let the love flow freely.

Life is like a symphony. We are here to enjoy it all.  When we open to the unconditional love of our being, we are sitting in the best seat of the house.

As the song lyrics ask, “Why have you come to earth?  Why have you come to birth?  Do you remember?” Could we inhabit these questions and awaken the Presence within?  Each of us must discover the answers from within.

Our attention is the tangible measure of our love.  Examine where we spend our time and attention.  Is a recalibration of our priorities in order?

When the lens of our perception is cleansed, the whole world is seen with fresh eyes.  Changing the way we look at things enables a shift both within and without.

It has been said that the only one who wants change is a baby with a dirty diaper.  Although we resist necessary change, it is heartening to realize that it is possible.

When we awaken to our interconnectedness, we are called to serve what is whole amidst the chaos.  As we live in the question, we can start with “What’s still true for me?”  The clarity begins to strengthen as we transform anger into courage, sadness into compassion, and confusion into resolve.  We belong together.

Could we slow down enough to receive images and messages that educate the heart? This requires that we be attentive and receptive to the oracles of life. We listen with our heart and soul.
