Love is...
As I sit at my desk on this wintery Sunday morning, icicles are everywhere and on everything. It’s COLD and it’s Valentine’s Day. I’m wrapped in a beautiful blanket, my sweater and fuzzy slippers. I’m feeling soft and gentle. My heart is calm and my breathing is keeping me in this present moment. Typing. Allowing. This is an aspect of my Love. Comfort in the Present Moment. Creating in the Present Moment. Being in the Present Moment. No past and no future. An eternal Now.
I am experiencing Love in gentle and nurturing way nowadays. It’s simple. I am learning to be in the inhale and the exhale. Allowing space for what desires to bloom and what desires to be dormant. This morning I went out front and admired one of the cherry blossom trees. It’s covered in ice. Every branch and bulb. It was amazing to stand there and just be present with what I was feeling inside of my body and admiring the beauty of the trees dormancy. I asked myself, what is this tree feeling right now being covered in ice? What is it preparing for? Does it know I’m out here with it? *inhale and exhale*
How magnificent it must be to surrender to the present moments. The tree allowing the ice to do what it does without struggle or resistance. How magnificent it must be to surrender to my present moment and allow Life to be what it is without resistance or struggle. I am deeply grateful. *inhale and exhale*
Today, I receive my message from the cherry blossom tree: good fortune, new beginning and revival.
Surrendering myself, my heart and every part of my life in this energy. I am reminded of a holy scripture from the Bible, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jeremiah 29:11, NLT.
I Love You!
