Perhaps Love
Lyrics by John Denver

(Placido Domingo)
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

(John Denver)
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

(Placido Domingo)
Oh, Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel

(John Denver)
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel

(Placido Domingo)
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

(Placido Domingo)
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go

(John Denver)
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

Abraham-Hicks: Let the vortex have its way with you

Sunny Side Up by code poet
Abraham uses a slightly different wording about following our bliss which gives me a new perspective:

You are not a do-er. You are a be-er. You are an offerer of vibration, you see.

That doesn't mean that we want you to stop having activity. Activity is delicious. We just want your emphasis to be upon your vibrational countenance. And if your emphasis on your vibrational countenance, now Law of attraction is arranging action and activities that are blissful and delightful in nature, you see.

Most action that you offer outside the vortex is hard work, it's struggle. It takes a lot of effort because you are bucking your own current. It takes all you can do just to maintain your status quo, you see. But when you let go of that struggle and you let the vortex have its way with you...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Abraham-Hicks, Albuquerque, NM, April 7, 2009

All is well.

These are the words: "when...you let the vortex have it's way with you...." This is Love Itself they are talking about. When we follow our bliss we let go and let Love have it's way with us. To lead us to our desires. To delight us with gifts that are more than we imagined. More fun. More loving. More magical in their manifestation. More!!!

And we let the vortex have it's way with us when we surrender to love. By loving ourselves. By loving what we see. By having fun. Source Energy calls to us with good feelings that get better and better and better as we follow them to harmony with who we really are.

There is only a stream of Well-Being so love is everywhere. Beauty. Abundance. Last night there was the most amazing sunset and I've been remembering it with pleasure this morning: golden rimmed rose beneath lavender clouds.

For me, deliberate creating has been a process of trust. Of learning that I don't have to be watchful. I can trust this Loving Universe and when I do, not only are the results magical, but I experience the most wonderful feeling of freedom and love.

Turning downstream - the best I can do is good enough

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.

Marianne Williamson in her book, A Return to Love

This quote really caught my attention. On a Google search I found two or three blogs that used this quote as a springboard to talk about love and they all focused on relationships and usually in the context of foregiveness.

Those are worthy thoughts to focus on, but when I read this I just read the word "love." As Abraham tells us, we are liquid love extending into this life experience. So the love that is ours to extend is who we are -- our passions and interests. That is our purpose in this physical experience -- to live our lives fully and joyfully.

I came to a place yesterday where I just felt tired of struggling with the manifestations of old beliefs. They just don't matter. All that matters to me is that I feel good.

This is as far as I want to go with the old and I surrender. I am at that place of ashes where the phoenix is rising. Ashes might not sound appealing so it might be surprising to say this is a very good feeling place. I feel the relief of letting go of trying to fix the past. I feel free.

And coming around to Marianne's quote, what I'm doing is listening to what I really want to do in this very moment -- letting go of shoulds or oughts or any thinking like that. I'm using the tools I've learned from Abraham and I feel like I am literally creating my life and my future experience in this moment. I am ready for it!

It's cold here and we had snow this morning -- big fluffy, soft flakes that filled the sky. Now the sun is out, the sky is blue, and the air is crisp and fresh. I love nature and weather and all of the critters that roam the earth. I love writing and thinking and being a deliberate creator. I love you, Abe! This is the love that flows through me in appreciation for the gift of this earth and sky, in appreciation for this wonderful body and imaginative mind, in appreciation for your joy-seeking self who is reading this looking for something interesting that feels good to read.

For me a return to love is being at peace with who I am right now and just making a choice to feel good in each moment. It is accepting that I do the best I can every moment of the day and my best is good enough. I don't have to be perfect to feel good and I don't even have to be perfect to manifest good things I desire.

All really is well.
