Life is full of love. It is loving by nature when we live from the heart. You may think “that’s easy for you to say, your world is not falling apart.”  No it is not easy for me to say, and it is not some flip, pie in the sky thinking. Pain may give the illusion of overshadowing the love surrounding you. It may be difficult to see it in the fear based world. It is there in the world that feels its own life force and the power within it. It is there in the power of love. Not a love that is in the mind. But in one that comes from your core self, self love.

If you take a moment to breath deeply in this moment (even if you are mumbling about anything I believe to be true). And in this moment ask Love to come forward in your feelings, in your breath and your awareness. In your breath of life  are you aware of  a very powerful force that runs through your body?  I define this life force as something greater than I am. I define it as the larger picture of I AM, of the Divine. It is also viewed as Universal and Source energy to name a few. In breathing the awareness of this energy as me and in me my feel of it shifts, from my minds perception to my internal self’s knowing. And in that moment I feel a loving vibration of Divine resonance that connects me to a much larger picture of Love, of the great I AM.

Is it any wonder that the worlds awareness of a resonance that is connected and within all things has faded from view. I am not referring to religion being lost in many lives, but to ones own internal knowing of self.  To ones accountability to self. And to ones connection and awareness to what they contribute in sending out into the world as their beliefs. Yes God has been taken out of our lives by government. After all we wouldn’t want to be politically incorrect and slight someone who does not believe in God. So lets take God out of society all together. What happened to diversity and personal accountability? Instead we homogenize the world and leave no room for honoring all beings. We bring the focus outside to what might offend someone instead of keeping it inside knowing our self and in the process loving the diverse nature of all individuals and working out differences from love and peace.

SELF LOVE, UNIVERSAL LOVE and SOURCE LOVE are not something we can give away or regulate so as to not offend someone. The return of the awareness of LOVE in you, starts with you and stays within  you. What we resonate out into the world from LOVE begins to heal all.

All may appear dark, but love is coming to light in the darkness.

I have been trying to take a picture of a bald eagle since I moved to my home in Montana. It became something I would laugh about when I would call my dad and told him about the latest almost picture.

It started with my waiting in my car while my husband was inside a business in Bozeman. I felt a strong nudge to get my camera out. I ignored it after all I was behind a building in the city. What picture could I possibly want to take. I ignored the urge only to have a bald eagle fly pretty low near the car. So as a joke I took a picture of the space where the eagle had flown threw, basically empty blue sky.It became a joke to tell my dad about the latest almost photo.

One day several bald eagles where in a pasture by the side of the road. I had not taken my camera with me that day.

The next eagle encounter I thought he will never believe this one, but told my dad anyway. I had been driving along Int 90 at 75 mph when an eagle dropped down to my line of vision in my lane and flew in front of me for less than a minute. Something I wouldn’t have believed if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. I immediately called my dad on that one. That is after I was able to close my mouth that had been hanging open. My dad has since that call gone into a nursing home in CT. So the spontaneous calls have ended.

So the sighting of the eagle in the tree yesterday was an ooh ooh moment. Maybe I can finally get a picture to send my sister to show my dad.  The eagle did not take off as I pulled my truck over to the side of the road I lowered the window, raised my camera and took three photos. This majestic animal received my gratitude as I drove away.

The sweetest part was imagining the smile on my dad’s face when he sees the pictures my sister will show him.

Q is sitting poised to dictate the writing of this blog.  A huge sigh just came from him, because I am making such a big deal of this. 

During my meditation this morning I noticed Q’s paws and their functionality in a way I never had before.  I asked him if he would share anything.

“Look around you. Everything you need to do is there.  God didn’t mess up.  He gave me paws and their dexterity for the reasons I need them for.  I can bath, swat, catch, hold, move, move other things, you get the picture don’t you.”  This time it was my turn for the sigh. “Yes Q. Are you trying to tell me having thumbs and believing that brings some type of superiority is hogwash?”  “Bingo.” Q chided. “So if I look around, the perfection of the universe is right smack in front, behind, above, below, and within me.” Q is encouraging me not to stop with that thought. Thanks. “OK, so it’s possible that I haven’t used what I have to it’s full potential. Recognizing and using skills, abilities, and objects with Divine use and unfoldment in mind, would open me  to new possibilities.”

” You’re getting it.” Q is saying. “I am done now, you take it from here.” 

Thank you Q for sharing, kindly, the ways in which my thinking was limiting me.

You may be under the false assumption that we ,your animals, are “Just another pretty face in the crowd.” You are most certainly entitled to your opinion, but get over it.

We are far more than a pretty face. If it wasn’t for us, would your hand get so much exercise petting us? I think not. Would you bend down so much to keep our bowls full? I think not. Would you sleep stretching your body to go around us? Again, I think not. Cleaning our hair off your clothes brings the fibers back up and is actually good for helping them to breath. OK, so maybe that is stretching it a bit, but again you are exercising different muscles. The swearing which may slide off your lips does not come from us. Feline Feng Shui is beginning to be recognized, due to my efforts. We like our bowl to full, reflecting abundance. Moving an item off a shelf makes room for expansiveness in your home. Lest we forget, our laying in a sunny spot near a window balances out energy of comfort and peace within the home. There is much I could go on about, but I won’t. Do look around yourself, it is an eye opener. When we rearrange the papers on your desk, it is for you. The sense of satisfaction of rearranging them into order again is unequaled.

I know we have discussed this before, but, it is worth repeating. We love you! That is why we do what we do for YOU! Should we get but a pittance of compensation, it is outweighed by the joy we receive in serving you. OK, your right no cat would do that. Ask a dog.
