Some Valentine's Day Reflections

"Emerging" by Sabina Iancu

Take some time today to sink into that place of pure love, which is beyond but also within the distractions of matter.

It's incredible and multidimensional. There is beauty in the patterns of evolving form - Yes! - this is the explicit. The expressions of a deeper and underlying, but all encapsulating implicit and ever-present love, which is the silent presence within our hearts, containing all possibility and potential and from which all things Spring.

I feel like God is a perpetual playful child, but also the wisest child. The ultimate old soul who plays and laughs and loves and creates in equal measure. The spirit at the core of all events, things and processes.

We are within that all-encapsulating benevolence. And yet, we are also It. We are that Love, that Playfulness, that Joy, that Presence. God / All That Is / The One is here now always. As are We - the Can-Do-Its / The Conduits for that love to come through us and from within us. .... 

Our love will indeed Emerge .....if we allow it...

It is the pure light of love shining from the core of who We Are when we are simply ourselves. Humble and open. We have under-estimated ourselves. Our hearts of gold, spinning golden threads. A web of relationship and connection within the infinite flowering that allows us and God to emerge and merge even more fully formed as we find ourselves more fully.

 Happy Valentine's Day!

Each interaction with another is an invitation

 Each interaction with another is an invitation, an opportunity to find our highest self. Families can be particularly difficult because of all the unwritten rules and old expectations of who we are in the eyes of other family members, so they require particular understanding and patience. 

Each interaction tells us something about ourselves if we listen to our hearts and the feelings/voices of our intuitions. Then we start seeing things/interpreting things in new ways. We then seem to have answers/solutions to various issues/problem/questions that may be so obvious to us that we can't believe we hadn't realised these things before. 

It can be something that is quite mundane - family or work-related or a fundamental question about philosophy, spirituality or a scientific question about the universe. Just by being trusting, open and patient we can become aware of the answers either intuitively during meditation and/or at another time (just walking along or in that fuzzy state before waking up completely) or maybe something in a book or an email may be relevant or we see a TV programme or film that provides an answer.  

Just be open to what the universe and other people have to offer.
