Love Never Runs Out Of Time...A SPII Throwback CHallenge

 

'love never runs out of time'

Listening to how it sounds in my head
I'm no longer afraid....
Now, if it were only true
Still thinking about watching her dance...as Johnnie played
and that brassy carmel buttered skin displayed
eyes that met mine....by surprise
.....peeping in...to the discoverer in me...
I...Ms Columbus....gazed back....taken aback....merged mine with hers
almost instinctively

Distancing the crowd...caught up in our glance...
Ooh she mesmerized me...deliciously
It was she who first opened this door...filled with warning signs that she...was closed for me
........ as the gateway to foolish abandon....broke open
Eyes..dead on me...though subliminally.... asking me
to dance

I was content on giving free reign to my imagination...until......I was drawn to feast upon that which seemed forbidden...
and without invitation.....walking right up to me
In a grin that makes the most naive wonder
I knew...that nothing would be required when she came to me....inhibitions swept vicariously asunder
.....not even how long it took for her to get here

As if in the darkness our secret could be betrayed
we would eventually become cramped..and eventually 'played'
in our own minds
the more that song played this teasing bump and grind
There was no doubt we would tire of playing the games greedy gamblers play
I knew I would surrender...and she counted on me surrendering too
..... me to her...and her to me
Over the music...the persistent canto of music cooed us
heart to heart
breast...to anxious breast
Johnnie's GOOD LOVE was all we needed
to start a fire that burned crimson red and electric blue
the Passion...whispering in a voice
that could change the locks on the doors to Hell
now beckoned sinfully to you

Submissive in the stares pouring into me
an equivocal devotion....free from obligation
and tchotchke tokens of affectation
and yet loving her freedom...a freedom yielding now to me
Choruses chanting the exorcism from voices of cognoscente
whispering in her ear..pulled me near
and nearer...and so close

that her spirit a mixture of efficacious farrago
and alacrity's sensuality almost made me bite my own tongue

We danced.....for an eternity...lost in just one verse...from one song
to another song...all in one song
The night...the floor...the mood seemed to open up
and take me up...filling me up
and emptying me
rinsing me thoroughly...in the ambiance called she
and verses divided
and gathering us back together repeatedly
Every crescendo following this great big release
in the form of a smile....a touch.....a sound she made
that broke me free as she stood face to face
with me

My ransom paid in full as my body felt the pull
obediently laid out...full...limbs beginning to wrestle
and pull
amidst the disbursing trace of fingers
starting from my shoulders on a race....running down the length of me
The dance...ending in that place that summons me
it wasn't love...but it felt like it
There was no dedication
no promises
but a feeling was given
of a tranquility
that so uniquely emancipated her
and me
for every time she came...close
her lips...whispered to me

" Love is a choice you make from moment to moment"

"Love, like truth and beauty, is concrete. Love is not fundamentally a sweet feeling; not, at heart, a matter of sentiment, attachment, or being "drawn toward." Love is active, effective, a matter of making reciprocal and mutually beneficial relation with ones friends and enemies."


Just surrender to the dance
surrender to the dance
surrender....to the dance
...."gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love"
Love keeps us lifted up
.....and love never runs out of time

HEAVEN #2193 There is a beautiful permanence…

 

God said:

There is stability in change. When seasons change, there is still stability. Flowers bloom, and flowers fade. The sun shines brightly, and you swim on the lake. The winds blow cold, and you skate on the lake. Through it all, there is a beautiful permanence.

If the seasons did not change, the permanence would not be greater.

You rake leaves. You shovel snow. You put summer clothes away. You take out boots and mittens. The changing seasons are not upheaval. They are just change.

And so with your life. The changing seasons do not have to be upheaval. They are merely changes. Childhood flies away. Hair grows gray. Husbands and wives come and go. Death of the body consumes your loved ones, and one day your body takes its turn. Permanence is still permanence. Stability has not gone.

Changes in relative life, like the seasons, are to be expected. Changes are not fatal. They are merely changes.

Must you turn over every change like a jeweler a diamond? Must you examine every nook and cranny of change and exhume it? Autopsy it? Let the body of change lie where it is.

That life changes is permanent, beloveds. Do not mind it. Breathe it in, and breathe it out. It is a guest who stays for only a short while. Change does not wreak havoc. It is a small thing that you make big, as if it were once in a lifetime, as if change were not the subject of life, or as if change were an imposition, something in your way. Rather, change paves your way, beloveds.

Change is like the set director of a play. He gets the stage ready for you. Or like the costume designer who gives you new outfits to wear depending upon what act you’re in. Must you be overpowered by change?

Start welcoming change. Consider it as something good that comes to you. Desired or not, it has arrived. The guest, wanted or unwanted, has come. Make a bed on the couch. This guest of change won’t stay long.

Change stretches you, beloveds. You are supposed to be stretched. You are not to stay so comfortable. Perhaps the world has made comfort its ideal. But that is fantasy. Change will disrupt comfort. Comfort is not meant to stay. Yes, meanwhile, put your feet up and relax. You will have to get up soon enough.

Will you learn to relax even through change? Does it really have to be momentous or tragic or a wall to butt your head against? Will you develop a more friendly feeling toward change? Will you embrace it? It may not have been your idea, but change has found its way to you. It has come like a UPS delivery. You have to open the package to know what is inside. Sometimes the gift within is wrapped in many layers of tissue paper. Sometimes you throw the wrappings out too soon, and haven’t seen everything that was in the package for you.

Anyway, another package will find its way to you.

Are you sad at the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace?

Accept the winds that blow, beloveds. Remember the willow tree and the oak, and which is mightier.

When you play baseball, you don’t win every game. Beloveds, when you lose, what have you lost? You have only lost that which is not lasting anyway.

You are on your way to the rainbow. You have to keep walking. Whatever twists and turns, you have to keep walking. That is the case, would you agree? Since this is so, keep walking with alacrity. Why frown, stamp your foot, pound your pillow? All you have to do is keep walking.

Be a good sport, beloveds. Don’t be down in the mouth. Put your shoulders back, and hold your head high. You are merely walking through change. You will get to the rainbow. Just keep walking. Keep looking where you are going, and soon enough, you will have traversed the miles of the universe.

Agape Love

 

Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

Proverbs 15:17

A bowl of vegetables with someone you love is better than steak with someone you hate

Proverbs 17:9

Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends

Proverbs 17:17

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Song of Solomon 8:7

Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned

John 15:13

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Peter 4:8

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins

1 John 4:8

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

　

　

　

　

HEAVENS LETTER #2177

God said:

From beauty comes beauty. From beautiful thoughts come beautiful thoughts. Beauty is conceived, and then more beauty is received. What you look at is given to you. What you give is returned. You set your own stage, and then the props naturally follow. Sooner or later, this is the case, beloveds.

I understand that you can give a kindness, and it may not be returned to you right then. You may even get a slap. This is one of the hardships in life, that beauty, kindness, and generosity are not always recognized at the outset by those to whom they are given. Never mind. I have noticed, and you have noticed, and the universe has noted.

Of course, you know by now to give because it is in your heart to give and not for any reward, not even for a courteous thank you. The act of giving is a great reward you give to yourself. You see a need and fill it. What more can you ask of life, beloved?

How fortunate you are to be blessed with the capacity to give. Use this talent. It is God-given. All I give is given through you or one of your brothers or sisters. No matter what hand hands you a gift, the gift is from Me to you. And when it is your hand that gives, it is also a gift from Me that you are entitled to give.

Your paycheck comes with your employer’s signature, but know Who gives you the check. And when you are the employer, know I gave you the pen so you may sign checks on My account. I have signers all over the world. Everyone is in My employ. There is not one of you who is not. Whether you know it or not, whether you acknowledge it or not, I signed you on long ago. You are conscripted into My service. You might as well comply.

Whether you are the waiter or the diner, you work for Me. Both roles are important. I do not make one more important than the other. In the eyes of the world, well, that is another story.

The silliness in the world is well-known. And all that silliness comes from the distinctions that are made. Just to think of all the sorting out that is done in the world is enough to make you dizzy.

Which color of the rainbow is more beautiful than another? Who would make an argument about which color is holier? Who would make a war over it? Yet wars are made.

Remind yourself that all on Earth are equal in their meaning to Me. Whatever clothes they wear makes no impression on Me let alone any difference. Let them wear crowns or be shoeless, their value is the same to Me. I see to the heart of the matter. I do not get tied up in distinctions.

The love I AM knows not distinctions. You have My same capacity. The way it is, however, if love were a flashlight, you would turn it on and off depending on what you saw. You would try to save the battery and not waste it, but then, you would be wasting love. If love is a light, then you are simply to shine it. No questions asked. No form to fill out.

If you are to bless the world, then you are to bless it. Not just some parts of the world. The world. Bless the valleys and the mountains. Do not be particular. You have been led to believe that particular is good. Universal is better.

Daily OM (yesterday)......A Softer Touch

 

 

Apply Gentleness to Everything!

 

Throughout life we must cope with blockages that impede our forward momentum. Whether these obstacles are of a personal, professional, or societal nature, our first instinct may be to push against the obstruction.

But the simplest way to alleviate resistance is to approach it gently, with a soft manner and kind intentions. Struggle and strife can find no foothold when confronted with mildness because conflict can only exist when fed by two opposing forces. So many areas of our lives can benefit from the application of gentleness.

The beauty of gentleness lies in its multifaceted nature. It is part love, part compassion, part patience, part understanding, and part respect for others.

When we move through life gently as a matter of course, we naturally attract these wonderful elements into our lives.

This does not mean that gentle people are by nature passive or meek. Rather, their copious inner power is manifested in their gentleness and their choice to move with the flow of the universe instead of against it.

You can make use of gentleness in your own life by applying it in situations where you feel challenged by your circumstances or by people in your environment. As you move forward gently, the energy pervading your life will likely shift and, consequently, the blockages before you will vanish.

Cooperation progresses smoothly when approached gently because all parties involved feel confident that their needs will be met. And quarrels are easily quelled with gentleness because the dualistic concepts of losing and winning are made moot by our willingness to exercise infinite patience with those whose values differ from our own.

Gentleness must be practiced, as we are inadvertently encouraged to act competitive in certain phases of our lives.

At first, your established habits may make being truly gentle challenging. Yet after a time, if you commit to consciously applying gentleness to all areas of your life, whether by collaborating rather than competing or yielding graciously to the impassable roadblocks in your path in order to seek a new road, you will find that you begin to act gently habitually.

Your patterns of thought and behavior become ever more peaceful, and you will discover that you encounter far less impassable resistance on your individual journey.

What do you think about that...lol
