Hope Is As Hope Does

When fear replaces hope
You stop too long in one place
You think you can never get out of it
You feel doomed by yourself that you are stuck

When fear replaces hope
You get tired more
You find reasons why other things don't get done
You can't think past the fear that you are in
Long enough to be "present" in other things

Yet when you have hope
You speak in solutions
You speak, I finished this and I finished that
And you start looking for other things to do and to finish

You see fear breeds fear
And hope breeds hope
Love breeds love
Depth is what happens when you understand that this happens

Fear is the opposite of life
It stops life right to the point that you fear it

And Hope reminds you that everything is possible for real
And the only difference between something happening and something not happening
Is you deciding it will

Hope is the Hop in your steps
That keeps your shoes walking
And trust that you will find what you are looking for!

The Light of Wings

When wings are spread
You can see everything underneath them
When wings are spread
Light is able to shine

When wings are spread
Everything underneath them is allowed to spread too
You see, all the wings are
Are the way through to the clouds

Wings can fly
As we forget we can
We think the clouds don't move
That they are always just there

Yet above the clouds the sky is actually blue
The light is there without obstruction
As the rainbows shine after the rain
The light is always there waiting for you to find it

We all have wings
We just forget we can fly
We think our wings don't work
As we forget we have dreams
And live in the Have To's
Instead of Want To's

Want To's can rule
Your smile can shine
The light is above the clouds
And the clouds can be flown through

Nothing is as it seems
Nothing is as it is seen
Everything has a way of working
And always we have the choice

It is funny that we forget how much we know
And even when we forget
If we just used what we knew already
We could live in our dreams
And that dreams are meant to become reality

Love Anytime

There is no time for when
There is no way for how
There is no reason to do it
Just love in this minute

Love when you talk or don't talk
Love when you solve or walk away until you can
Love when you cook and it will taste better
Love when you shop and you will buy what you love
Love when you eat and you will eat slower and be satisfied more

Love is so simple
That we walk right past ourselves
And others
On our way to "love"
As though it is an obscure thing
When it is a simple thing
So easy to smile into
And walk around with
And stare the world in the eye
So that it can stare right back at you

You can never know or learn too much when it comes to love
Love really is endless
Love doesn't have to look a certain way
Or be a certain way
All you have to do is FEEL it

Feel it and let it feel you
Say it and let it live around you
Think it and it will come out in your words
Dream it and it will walk with you in your days
Know it and you will know
It is not as it seems
It is just what it is
You at your best

The Magic of Mama

It's the first Mother's Day
Without my Mom
And her voice is still so loud in my head
It makes me smile
And then I cry
But always always it soothes me to say
Mama

Just saying Mom
Whether we have, had or don't know who she is
It is sheer comfort to our souls to say it
To walk into a home
Where food is cooking
The beds are made
The garden is full
The trash is taken out
And the wash is washed

It is comfort that no matter where you go that day
You come home
To what is, was or feels like Mama

The magic of a soul who only gives
And doesn't know what to ask for back
Who cooks with everyone in mind
And cleans for the comforts of you when you are there

Mama is Mom is Grandma to some
Home to others
And love in all

When we say Mama
We are saying love
When we hear Mama
We all know what we mean
We even know what Mama looks like

Mama is God's hand on Earth
That is allowed to touch our lives in all ways
And your life's feeding is knowing
That Mama is your magic
No matter who you are

The Breaths of Love

It is a stimulant
We would do anything for it
Most times give everything up because of it
We dress different when we are in it
We walk faster when we feel it

At the end of the day
We replay it in our heads
In the beginning of our days we wake up thinking of it

When we shop we shop with it in mind
When we smile
It is the love of love that comes through

Love is so innocent
That if you find yourself in any situation in life
When love is not present
Then know that you must keep looking until it is

We are driven to love
We thrive when we feel it
And we starve without it

Love is a promise that our souls already know
Love is the thing we come with
And care about so much when it is time to go

Love is in the answer
Of every question that we ask
Love is the purpose
Of every decision that we make

Pay attention to love
It is the sprinkler of our lives
It waters us and grows us
And breathes through us
When we can breath with it
