We are aspects of creations’ exploration of life and hold within us the soul’s quest for communion and the heart’s wish of love.
Arriving in the place of a thousand million choices we find ourselves walking on the moving sands of time, a place where the ebb and flow of life and its season create an ever-changing picture. It is in this place of diversity that we are given the divine ability to create life, discern our future and give it meaning. And where we, like a god, choose what will and what will not be.
This adventure of life is also a journey to us. The free will we command asks the question, what meaning of life do we wish to make our own? To answer this question, we will seek the soul of ourselves.
This commitment to our inner calling, to give breath to the soul, will in the end, teach us self-love, a selfless devotion to the human spirit and the wish for its freedom.
The heart
Our heart is the place where our truth is known and where our love is found.
It is the resonant chamber for the soul’s experience on earth; a crucible where the feelings of the meanings we give to life create the story of who we are. Within its depths, there exists a longing of the soul, a wish for the loves we feel of life to be enacted, to bring the love of our source into the earth of our life here.
The love we carry will never die. Our body may grow old, but our love does not. It is the internal flame that is eternal; a fountain of youth from were flows our beauty and light.
This wish of love is our sacred purpose and in times of peace and self-mercy; we have known simply that we love to love. It is why we will always try to bring the light of our love out of the darkness of ourselves; to lift ourselves up and be what we love.
When we can do this, we reclaim our sovereignty. We act as creation and creation lives because of it.
Hope
There is a whisper of God amongst the broken wings of life, that place where we were undone by life’s trials.
It is a calling from the deep of us that gives the glimmer of light amongst the desolation. It calls for us to begin again and let go of the darkness. To embrace our courage and lift ourselves once more into the colours of the day. Hope is the creator of visions of what can be, the light at the end of a tunnel. Its presence creates a self-affirmation, a belief in our power, and the generosity of life. it sheds light on the path from here to there and has the power to lift the veil that separates us from our happiness; to awaken the dreams that have been slumbering amongst the dust of yesterday.
Hope unlocks a wish for tomorrow and makes us future bound. It lifts our gaze forward to a promised land, some place or time of sanctuary.Hope is the power that allows us to dream into actuality the loves we wish for life. It liberates the mind to see beyond our current state to what can become because of it; it takes the now and melds the future to it.
Without love for what we hope for, hope cannot find us. Our hope becomes a mere conjecture, a mirage of a wish without power. But when we love what we hope for it becomes the creator of anticipation and the tool of manifestation. It creates the picture of a future we love, making its future actuality present now with all the sensations of reality.
When our hopes are dashed upon the rocks, we sink into careless waters of ourselves. We lose its light, and we see only a grey world. It is then that we must create again our conversation with Hope, to pick up the pieces and, so slowly, rebuild the image of our love. When we do this, we invite hope to appear again and the breath of the heart becomes gentle.
Hope brings as a companion charity, for when we have hope we become kind to ourselves and those we love. It is in this light of hope, what was hidden becomes seen and what was in the way becomes the way.
Hope is a gift of our future self and is bound to the heart because its presence will always be felt when we love.
the hearts love
Our loves guide us to moments of nourishment for the soul.
The wish of love that is held in the heart is not a fairy tale for the lonely. It is a gift from the soul, an echo of the souls longing for communion with life. What we love is not happenstance, they are urges from the soul that give guidance to our path in life. These great loves are not the shallow love of convenience that puts to sleep our passion, but the love that ignites our vision and creates the lights that enamour the soul of us.
Our loves are bridges that take us beyond the mundane into the unknown, an adventure with our future self that will always bring happiness.If we do not love we become a ghost in life, an apparition with no heart. So, the search of the heart, for its wish of love, is our sacred purpose.
This call of love will not be satiated. We may try to quench its thirst with ‘things’ or put it to sleep with indulgence but, at the end of the day, when all is said and done, we will still hold a wish of love.
