Vin d’Amour

No one pours new wine into old wineskins
otherwise the wine will burst the skins
and both the wine and the skins will be destroyed

We are here to create new wineskins
as we harvest a new season of grapes
as they mature into their very finest essence

We are here to pour new Vin d’Amour
into the empty chalices of those who come
in askance of the Love we have to offer

WE are the grapes, the wineskins
and the Wine of Love
in service to all by the choices we make.

I Am Woman

I Am Woman
I Am the Divine Feminine
I do not do battle as a man does
but do not mistake that as complacency.

My spear
strikes at the heart
not to kill
nor to conquer
but to soften
and dissolve the barriers
that have attempted
to keep love at bay.

I do not carry a shield
for I have nothing to protect
my protection is the fire of love
which will transform
anything you may aim at me
my protection is compassion
which will disarm you
and melt your desire to fight.

I stand in my power
the power to give birth
to that which is born
of our coming together
in divine partnership
in love and harmony
for the co-creation
of eternal life itself.

I Am Woman
I Am the Divine Feminine
I stand strong and powerful
I stand in Love and Compassion.

Power of Love

I asked to be shown my gifts
to be shown where my power lies.

With my request
the answer became very clear
My Gift is Love
My Power is Love.

There are many
who say I want love
simultaneously fearing it
afraid to open their hearts
afraid of what love will do to them
afraid of what love will expect of them.

Love expects nothing.

However, Love will change you
it will change how you see yourself
how you see and react to others
it will change how you see the world
how you react to the world.

Love will heal your broken heart
and open you to the infinite flow of pure Love
a Love that flows without bounds
a Love without expectations
a Love with glorious potentials.

I stand here, heart wide open
knowing I AM LOVE
allowing Love to consume me
allowing Love to be All That I Am.

In Search of Love

How much of my life have I spent
vying for your love?
I changed my appearance
I changed my actions
I even changed how I felt,
always unsure
if you loved me.

But how could you love me
when you didn’t even know me
because I never knew myself
as I shape-shifted
like a crazy chameleon
in response to you
in response to the world around me.

I finally realized
your love was never the issue
for it was my love of self
I was in search of;
and now that I know who I Am
it matters not
if you love me or not.

For I am deeply enthralled
in a joyful passionate love affair
with my Divine Self
who lives within me
who is always here for me
who has always known
all of Who I Am.

Trust the Soul

The soul knows Love
in a way the human does not
the soul is always full
whereas the human in never satiated
constantly hungry for more.

You are in a human body
to embody Divine Love
to realize the sultry intimacies
and savor all the flavors
that only the soul can provide.

There will always be
new playgrounds and
infinite opportunities to explore
as the human continues
to expand in divine Love.

The soul will never lead you astray
at times it will take you by the hand
and lead you into the fray
intent on teaching you to open your heart
and accept everything that presents itself
as an opportunity to Love.

Trust the soul
Trust Love.

The Call for Love

Do you hear the call
the call of your human self
calling out for more Love?

You hear it
in the pain or illness of your body.

You heart it
in your fear of not being loved by another.

You hear it
in your angst about the world events.

You hear it
in the anger at not being heard.

You hear it
in the sadness of loss.

Sometimes the call
is a soft whisper barely noticeable.

Other times it’s roaring like a lion
rampant thoughts repeating in your head
a stab in the stomach
tears streaming down your face.

These are the calls asking for self Love
easily remedied when you gently
wrap your arms around your human self
whisper I Love You
and remember the truth of Who You Are
as the embodiment of Divine Love.

Smitten

I awoke
smitten with the Love affair
that’s blossoming with my Self.

Enamored by the Love
that’s always present
ever flowing
never judging.

Infatuated with the Joy
that bubbles up from within
for no reason
other than I exist.

Enchanted by the Magic
that playfully
continues to awaken
new aspects of me.

Besotted with the flow
of everyday life
as I allow it
to have its way with me.

No longer caught up in the old adages
of a human style love affair
addled with requirements
and unrequited expectations.

Back in the arms of the Divine
sweet gentle embraced and content
crazy mad in Love with my Self
smitten in the knowing of Who I Am.

I AM the Chalice

I sat with Mother Mary
and Love flowed through my being
I sat with Yeshua
and forgiveness flooded my heart
I sat with Buddha
and peace was found in the stillness
I sat with Quan Yin
and compassion enveloped me
I sat with the Ancestors
and clarity ensued
I sat with Merlin
and magic sparkled within me
I sat with the Fae
and joy danced around me.

I AM
the Love of Mary
forgiveness of Yeshua
peace of Buddha
compassion of Quan Yin
clarity of my Ancestors
magic of Merlin
and the joy of the Fae.

There is no need
for me to seek for anything
outside of myself
when I remember
I AM the chalice of All-That-Is
and it is in the sharing of Who I AM
that I become a role model for others.

Sweet Gentle Cleansing

Sweet gentle cleansing
as the heart opens more fully
crystalline tear drops
flow down our faces
allowing us
to see Love
in all its forms
to hear Love
whisper in the breeze
to feel Love
in the depth of our being

Allow the tears
for they are
the sweet elixirs of Love.
