I love you!

I love you! The most wonderful, uplifting phrase in all the world. It does not matter what language you say it in, it always has the same effect. So, how often do you say it? Do you say it enough to those in your life that matter? Could you say it to a complete stranger?

I tell my wife, child and family members that I can that I love them. We close all our conversations with "Love ya, bye!". I even tell my dog, cats and garden plants that I love them. But I am like a majority of people out there who probably would not and could not tell someone I do not know that I love them. I mean the animals and plants will not try to have me arrested or give me weird looks. OK, so the cats give me weird looks all the time but they are cats, they just do that.

So, how can I say "I love you" without actually saying it. Actually, there are numerous ways I can do this and I will share a few of them with you.

1. I can just smile at people. A smile can say "I love you". It has at least a similar effect as uttering that wonderful phrase. When you smile at someone, you are letting them know that you care. And if they smile back then you have connected on the soul level.

2. I can just think "I love you". Sure, our thoughts are creative. That energy is released into the Universe and does have a positive affect, so why not walk around and think "I love you" about everything, especially yourself. It is the energy that is most important here so release your "love" energy for all the world to feel. Quite frankly we do not tell ourselves enough that we love who we are. Like I have always said it all begins with us, so go ahead, tell yourself that you love yourself.

3. I can give a gift to someone, donate to charity or volunteer for a worthy cause. All of these actions say "I love you" and just like thinking it, you spread the energy.

4. I can just look into someones eyes and with a look of love, I can connect and share the "love" energy, so words are not really even necessary. Did you ever do that? Just look deep into someones eyes and connect with their very soul. Wow, that is always a powerful moment.

5. I can write a poem, song or letter in which I express my love for someone, something or even the entire world.

6. Finally, I can just be loving towards myself and others. I can give a compliment, open a door, help someone load groceries in their car. I can get a massage, meditate, take a walk or eat my favorite desert.

There are as many ways that you and I can spread love either by actually saying "I love you" or doing and thinking loving things. The possibilities are as endless as the Universe.

So, let's all go out there and spread love in every way we can. I know it will have an immediate impact on you and the world.

I leave you today with this quote:

"Don't spend your precious time asking 'Why isn't the world a better place?' It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is 'How can I make it better?' To that there is an answer." - Leo F. Buscaglia

I LOVE YOU!

In The Morning

Image via WikipediaAll we have ever dreamed to know
Has not been seized

In the Morning I awaken to a new potential
I am given this day where possibilities are waiting to be born
A thousand lies seek to undertake at dawns first light
to overthrow the throne of truth deep within me
We have set up our camp together
We have known what to expect
Those who seek war,
seek war in secret
Attack while we rest

This is the waking mind
Ready to proclaim anything quiet
Ready to steal happiness
Ready to throw arrows of destruction before the sun even rises

I look to your face for their I see our future
Along your closed eyelids I see memories of the family you love so deeply
You have kept watch over me all night
Even asleep I recall your guarding footsteps

A King protects his Kingdom
And I shall love you among those who are walking
Dead to their dreams
Dead to their purpose
Dead to their visions

Yes ..We are strangers here in this land we once called home
My love weeps for you just as yours does for me
Our deep personal experience has brought us to new revelations

No one saw our tears and that could sadden any heart
But
Our embrace for this very cause was for us alone
To bring understanding in truth and a promise to those we love saying

Even though…

We may appear lost in a society of conditions
that which is divine cannot be called human
The message of truth we have discovered and have shared for our Father IS
And forever more shall BE a direction
For we carry
our Fathers heart
our Fathers passion and in this we become our Fathers light

we have found possibilities
We have uncovered ancient wisdoms of the beginning
we have passed from death to life
we have accepted our faith from our experience

And when they rise up to separate us
We remember our souls are eternal because our faith does not come from here
Our faith is a living faith that flows from our Father

Remember the father of earth who believes his entire life he has failed
Rise up and be made new ….with fresh faith to offer his newborn son the very best of his spirit
The very nature of this is just as the sun rises in the morning
And he allows no failure to crumble his spirits
He has found victory

Remember the trees each beautiful and unique even in the fall
They are not tied to the moments of the past or captured by the summer winds
Freely they move not by authority but by freedom and liberty

Our embrace through the night has kept us safely through until morning
Because it did not come from what we forced ourselves to do

We have found our common home
We have uncovered our common desires
We are the Living Faith of our Home

All we have ever dreamed to know
Has not been seized

For it is the Will of our Father
And can be renewed on earth anywhere.
In every morning.
