Knowing and Receiving Guidance

 

If you listen, you will then know. The light of the flame is always on within you... text on sunset with blue ocean expanse.

The light of the flame within you is always on. All you need do is see it.

To see requires faith and a willingness to let go. When you are able to do these two things, you are indeed listening to inner well-being, which allows you to know your true self, which is the flame.

Poem: The Codes of the Seeds by Rebecca Campbell

I receive Rebecca Campbell's newsletter; she always has wonderful information she shares. When I saw this poem, I immediately felt connected to it. I hope you enjoy it too...


THE CODES OF THE SEEDS

Seeds must be buried in the darkness before they can bloom into the light.

Seeds cannot even begin to bloom without embracing the fertile void of the winter soil.

Seeds cannot flower without first outgrowing the constraints of the bud.

Seeds cannot bear fruit without releasing their beauty to the earth and letting go of the very thing that captivated others to them.

Seeds come in knowing exactly what to do. Within them they hold the potential of entire forests and rose gardens.

Seeds have within them an intelligent timing that is connected with the intelligence of the entire cosmos.

We are all seeds.

Future forests and gardens waiting to be born.

Each of us holding the codes of a new yet ancient humanity within us.

Change is our natural state.

ShoutOut Atlanta Interview

 ShoutOut Atlanta ArticleI am so pleased and happy to be one of the local artists included in a ShoutOut Atlanta interview article. I really love the concept they've raised regarding getting to know our community:
We feel it’s far more relevant to hear from the folks who make up the fabric of our communities – small business owners, mom-and-pops, and independent artists and creatives.

Please check out the interview here...

The Pursuit of Mindfulness

As a painter, I create mindful art, but I have learned thatOne does not need to be an artist in order to create mindful art.One, however, must be mindful first.
Mindfulness requires you to be aware of your manner of thought -to recognize your feelings and emotions.
To be mindful is to be knowing of your actions -Mindfulness requires intentional thoughts and actions tooccur from a loving and caring state.
Being mindful is a practical art.
It can be taught.It can be learned.
You can discover this talent just by hearing yourself at motion-The thoughts you think that you act on are attachedto your awareness from within.
Ease yourself into mindfulness.Practice the art of mindfulness and you will be happiermoving in the motion of a loving state of mind.

Mother Earth's Redesign

Natural Language ArtIntuitive Art | Sacred Geometry
Mother Earth is going through a redesign - and we all are playing a role in this change. There is a lot going on, and its been going on now for a while. We are being asked to move into a higher state of mind - to that of love and kindness, and living from within the inherent love that is available to us all.
"...It is through inherent love that you may better understand the natural laws of the universe and attain the ability to live harmoniously and in a state of balance between your body, mind, and spirit... each time you thank yourself in kind thought, you bring yourself closer to the love that is inherent. Once you begin acknowledging this love for yourself, you will begin to pass it along to other people." ~ from the book Living From Within.
We need to listen up and take charge of our actions. Are we acting in love, or are we acting in hate - the choice is up to us. Help make the change into positive.
However difficult for some, or easy for others, we all have a choice and option to live in love, and act in love. It all begins with loving yourself first. We're all living here on this Earth and we are all connected. Our energy is a part of all of Earth's energy, and creating the energy of love is a positive and forward flow of emotion.

Find True Love and Peace From Within

Excerpt from The Book of Wealth and Well-Being
ONE: Find True Love and Peace From WithinTo begin at the beginning is to know awareness from within. 

All mankind need be aware that there is more to life than man himself/herself. It is about the love that is ever present. It is about the connection between all spirits, bodies, and minds. No one is singular. All people make up the whole. And it is for this reason, one must treat the other in kind. In treating each other in kind, you allow for the love to flow inward and outward. It is this connection that is generated by your actions that brings forth more gratitude to you. And it is of this gratitude for which you then prosper. The prosperity for which you seek is not “man-made.” It is of presence. It is of well-being. This is the fallacy for which mankind often falters on. Wealth begins from within. It is this inherent knowledge for which you truly seek in order to succeed in life. It is where you will find all that you need to live on this Earth, and live in love.

Intro to Intuitive Art



The journey to this place in time has been long and extremely interesting. I love creating art and writing - for me, videos and podcasts are the next logical step in my creativity evolution. This is my first baby step in video creation, and I look forward to growing and learning more about it.

Be Yourself

The relevant one is the only one that you are right now - You.

When you do this, all of the answers within you now come without (of you) to develop a new place in time - which is Now.

'To thine own self be true.'

For each and everyone of us has their own limitations, and that of no one else. Do not compare. Do not compete.

Be yourself now as you are always. There are no limitations when you do this.

Be aware. Be kind. Just be in... the moment at hand.

The Way - Re-imagined

Over time, I have learned it is not The Way.

It is Our Way -

Unconditional love.

When we are in  Our Way :

We are of it.
We know it.
We be it.

It is wonder and joy-
For that's what Love is.

We own our own properties
Of well-being when we are
Within Love.

We create magic when we
Decide to live now and in Love.

Our Way . It's more than a path.
