Love exists. She is never not present although her life-giving presence is rarely perceived, much in the same way as we breathe in air moment to moment barely noticing the gift of life it sustains. Nothing exists without Love. She is the secret Heart of all. These are not just words. They are an introduction to an Invitation created when Time began. To what are we invited? To know that we are already a measure of Love's Timeless Life...

The seeds of "what will be" are planted in the here and now, a fact of life that guarantees one thing: unless we do the inner work to be aware of ourselves in the present moment... yesterday will be our tomorrow.

Fear's power over us is nothing more than the way it causes us to forget the truth of ourselves, which is this: we are created to eternally transcend the limits of our present nature, to transform who and what we have been in the very moment it ceases to serve the good of us. But, because we have forgotten this or -- more accurately speaking -- because we are asleep to its power in us, we ar...

Feeling dissatisfied over what life presents in any given moment is like standing before the whole ocean and getting negative because part of you believes there's only one place to enter its waters where it's possible to enjoy yourself.
