Intimacy is not of the body. It is the expanding energy of joining with another in remembering the truth.

LOVE LAND TIP #333

Love facilitates the authentic self. It provides the most direct route to growing up into who we really are with a buoyancy and verve exuding elegance. Since Love lives and breathes beyond what separates us, beyond nationality, beyond male or female, beyond you and me, beyond sexuality it is truly an all encompassing meeting place.

Myself When I am Above the Clouds -- O'Keefe in New Mexico

Never failed to express the fullness of possibility celebrating all the wonders like an eagle above the fray of life embodying its great gifts.

If you get stuck on anything, head on up into the clouds, the view is fine.

Love, Mel

Opening up beyond the constraints and rules of our thoughts gives us the opportunity to hear our soul’s truth in all its majesty.

Love this new video and song from Florence and the Machine - What the water gave me~!

Everyone you are supposed to meet you meet. There is no avoiding it.

That chance encounter in the elevator that leads to lunch. That smile at the club that leads everywhere. The look in the eyes that brings eternity into the present.

People are with us for as long as maximum learning is possible between the chemistry of the two. Which means people can be with us for an hour for a moment for months or a lifetime. We don’t get to choose. We merely stay open to the flow of the teaching and the learning in touch with our own inner tuning device. The intuition of our being.

"That driving force of God that plunges through me is what I live for."

That is the kind of statement I can get behind. Martha Graham performed because she had to. She pushed herself to achieve against all odds and in her expression new worlds of connection emerged.  From her Peabody Award winning filmed discussion - A Dancer's World. 

"Dance is communication and the great desire is to speak clearly and beautifully and with inevitability. And this is true of all of us."

Do more. Be more.  Check out a clip

“There comes a moment when she looks at you in the mirror and you realize that she is looking at you and recognizing you as herself. It is through you. Her love. Her hope. Her fear. Her terror is to be expressed and there is a moment of fear on your own part. Dread. Sense of hazard feeling that perhaps you haven’t done quite enough work; perhaps you should have gone back to the studio and worked again. Because that which you do not want to do is to fail in either clarity or in passion. You give all your life to doing this one thing… it sounds grim… it sounds frightening. It isn’t." 

Prayer for the Week. Inspiration.

Dear God, Spirit, Divine Mother, 

On this day I ask you to grant this request -
May I know who I am and what I am,
every moment of every day.
May I be a catalyst for light and love
and bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet.
May I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict
and the courage to speak my voice, even when I'm scared.
May I have the humility to follow my heart
and the passion to live my Soul's desires.
May I seek to know the highest truth
and dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self.
May I embrace and love the totality of myself -
my darkness as well as my light.
And may I be brave enough to hear my heart -
to let it soften so that I may gracefully choose faith over fear.
Today is my day to surrender anything that stands between
the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity.
May I be drenched in my holiness.
And engulfed by God.
May all else melt away.
And so it is.

Written By Debbie Ford.

Two Thousand Sublime and Beatiful Thoughts

A storehouse of memorable utterances by memorable minds --
"that many may find consolation, comfort, guidance, or inspiration from the thoughts within, in time of need is the sincere desire of the compiler." -- James Clarence Harvey

"Eternal form shall still divide
The eternal soul from all beside'
And I shall know him when we meet.
--Tennyson, In Memoriam, XLVII

"For when the power of imparting joy
is equal to the will, the human soul
Requires no other heaven."
--Shelley. Queen Mab, II.

"A word to the wise is enough."

"Through the sunset of hope,
Like the shapes of a dream,
What paradise islands of glory gleam!

"Friends, if we be honest with ourselves,

"Music cleanses the understanding, inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself."
--Henry Ward Beecher

"Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized
into time and tune. Such the extensiveness
thereof, that it stoopeth so low as brute beast, yet
mounteth as high as angels. For horses will do
more for a whistle than for a whip, and be hearing
their bells jingle away their weariness."
--Fuller

MONEY IN THE BANK WEEK

When you meet someone that has been brought into your space at the perfect moment designed to walk a bit of your path together to learn something through interpersonal interaction many aspects of yourself are revealed. Things that you love about yourself and things that you find tense and gripping to engage with.

You may do all kinds of things to avoid the inevitability of these discoveries and deal with them but make no mistake this is an inevitable interaction and the truest gift of The Other. A learning opportunity that will revisit you until you embody the truth of who you are and make acceptance part of your daily routine. The Other is the ultimate opener to your self love and lives and breaths within the decisions you make around how this person's statements and actions will either open a gateway deeper into the truth of who you are or wedge a block in the flow of your being that closes the connection to that which is most important for your growth and development. 

Bring Love to every encounter. See how things go. Make adjustments when necessary and have fun out there. Life is meant to be enjoyed, cherished and full of Love.

Two Words. Be Bold.

Bold character practices strength in vulnerability, pushes the boundaries of the everyday and cherishes experimentation. Live that way today.
