FREE CHOICE

The following comes from my dear sister of the heart, Denisa Nelson. The quote below along with Denisa's thoughts are timely reminders of how our power to choose calls for deeper realization and attention on our part.
"And as always, it is precisely the option of free choice that creates what kind of experience the planet will have as she continues to morph and mold herself into a new and vibrant home for a very new reality." Quote from Emerging Earth Angels
those words written by karen spoke to me on a personal level.... we are one with mother earth... it is the option of free choice that creates our experience as we continue to morph and mold into our True Self.... so...we can choose in each and every moment to see love... thus keeping ourselves within the vortex of creation that literally reveals to us exactly what "we choose"... yes...we are the creators... what greater purpose for us than to be the one's who lift the whole by bringing love to each and every appearance keeping ourselves in the flow of love and lifting the whole with each loving thought.... just sharing my thoughts...love...denisa

I'M A LOVER

The following writing was sent to me from a sister of the heart, Glenda Otto. Glenda is an eternal lover of Life. She just can't help herself!! After reading Rumi's poetry.... and in a moment of sheer inspiration..... these words flowed out from her being. Her words fall on me gently, as I recognize myself. Now, it's your turn. I hope you find yourself as inspired as I am in reading this. Enjoy!
My vocation is to be a Lover.
Oh I don’t mean the jump-into-bed kind of Lover
I mean the kind of Lover who’s in Love with Life,
And quietly, humbly intends to love each moment, each person,
Everything, no matter what.
It’s not my job to be perfect.
It’s my job to simply Love,
The kind of Love that breathes compassion.
It’s not my job to judge when I think others are less-than-perfect.
I was taught by osmosis that it was my job to judge.
Somehow the world would be a better place if I judged.
And when I judged others,
They’d magically change and become closer to my idea of perfect.
Took years to discover it’s not like that.
When I judge others, they tend to judge themselves and become fearful and defensive.
It’s my job to Love and see the perfection of what is in front of me.
It’s my job to live as though All Is Designed for me/us to be in Love.
I’m encountering more people like me these days.
We just want to be Lovers.
We’ve got a few bad habits left over from our days when we wanted to be perfect,
But, none-the-less, we are moving toward Loving with open arms.
It’s more fun. There’s more spaciousness and freedom when we join with Love.
Yes, it hurts our heart when we’re less-than-loving to ourselves and to others.
We discover we’re not too skilled at being Lovers.
But then comes the wonderful discovery question:
‘Love, what would you have me do?’
We fall silent and listen with our Whole Being …
We are joined by the greater Source of Love,
The Creator of Love, within us.
We know ourselves to be that Source of Love.
Imagine that!
We ask how to Love in this moment.
It comes now or later,
But it comes.
I have nothing, NOTHING better to do than to join with Love and
Become a Lover.
Take a load off. Let’s sit down.
Or, perhaps you want to dance …
