One of You, One of Us

Sending out love to the courageous, the unique and the sad,
The angry and the weak, the happy and the bad.
Love to the weird, the wonderful, and 'wrong...'
Love to the 'right' although it's just a different song.
There's love for the sorrowful, the sacred and the scared.
Love for the lonely and the ones that live in fear.
Here is to the big, the tall, the shy and very small.
Here is to everyone, there is love for you all.
Here is to your ride, your path, your consciousness and soul
Here is to your everything, inside you shimmer gold.
There is love for our unity, the oneness in our hearts.
The barriers are coming down so here is to the start.
The dawn of you inside yourself, comfortable and free.
Unlimited and full of love, the bit that you call 'me'.
Here is to your confidence and burgeoning success
To be exactly who you are and love 'the way you dress'.
Sending love to the drum you beat and the rhythms that you sing
It's perfect for this song of life,
We love just what you bring.

The Love Revolution

At some point we have to let go of healing and embrace well-being. Healing always supposes that we are not fully whole and are in a process of journeying to a point in the future where health resides. But here is the contradiction. The only point that exists is the ever present now moment. So, when we sit in our present moment focusing on healing, we are actually focusing at one level on not being whole. Don't let this worry you. We have plenty of time.

Thought is creative, always, every second, every minute, every moment you ever have. You are creating with your thoughts, words and actions. Begin then to embrace well-being this very moment. Tell yourself now that you are whole, and well, and perfect. The potential for perfect health and well-being exists right now in your body... Shut your eyes.

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Focus on all the love in your heart that you have for people, for the world, for your pastimes, ideas and interests. Feel that love. Let it rise up. Let it flow through every cell in your body. Take another breath and breathe in fresh air and oxygen. Here is life force, prana, chi, ki. We cannot go much longer than two minutes without air. It is a gift for you. It sustains you. There is love in it... for you in every single atom of air, in every single breath. Feel the love as you breathe in. Share it with others as you breathe out. There is so much love in your body, in your mind. Do not be afraid to let it out. Feel it. Because, this is where your well-being lives.

Take a breath. Within your heart, within your mind, within your soul is a doorway to well-being and joy and happiness. Through this door you will find a great deal more amazingness than you could have ever imagined. The door is labelled LOVE. It is your love. Not an idea you or religion or society or anyone else has about what love should be but the individual love each of you feel for different things. Let that love bubble up. Each person's door is different. Each person has love for different people, different ideas, different words, different music, different foods. Breathe. Let what you love bubble up into your mind. Feel your own personal love for the wonderful things in your Universe. Send that love to your body, to your mind, to your friends. Breathe the love in and share it with others as you breathe out. Let it flood you and sooth you. Relax.

Your body has the potential for well-being and perfect health right now. So, if you dare, take a moment and breathe. Let go of everything else. All thoughts, all words and all actions. Just stop. And breathe. Walk through your own personal door of love. Breathe and feel the love that is within you that you have nurtured for all the special things in your own private universe. This is your healing path. So stop often and walk through this door within. It is easy to find. Just follow the trail you left for yourself. A trail of love, left by you, for you to find your way back to your heart, so that you may walk through that door of love back to your kingdom of peace, joy, health, well-being, harmony and oneness. A door that leads not only to your kingdom, but to mine too. To all beings. Come... we are waiting for you. Always.
