The Forest For The Tree...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 

Begin again.

Look upon the forest. Let me be planted so deeply in your soul that my best intentions manifest in your daily actions. I am love. I have been absorbed back into a rushing, flowing force that drives you. I can no more be separated from you than blood running through your veins. I am even more a part of you than that. 

Blood may be spilt. The spirit never leaves you, because you are not only you. You are me. I am you. We are the forests. One lifetime may be a tree. Now back up. Can you see a forest full of lifetimes where we were trees together? Now back further away. You have just entered another forest. Where did that tree go that you made your world? Where is he? The trees all look the same! Where is he?

You think he's come back into view? Aah! What a beautiful tree. The others are applauding it with their branches. The sunlight warms its emerald leaves, showering sparkling rays. "That's him!" you say to the reflection of yourself.

That's you!

Magical

Do you think that I am creating this magic? Would it feel too lonely if I told you that you are doing it yourself?

The magic is drawing me to you...you see my wings, as you are giving me hands and feet in your world. I am the voice that speaks when you speak. You think you can't live without me? You never have. I let the loneliness inhabit me because I thought you weren't listening. Were you listening in your cocoon?

How do you plan for something that has always been?

So much time is spent in wondering if you are doing the right thing. I will meet you wherever you are... "Whereverland." I will open the doors for whoever is unafraid to go inside. Fear is the hell we all fear. Let go of it. POOF! It's gone. Come inside bravely to the land of magic.

Be brave enough to be the greatest at whatever you love to do, even after others stop watching, and especially before they start, when it seems they really should be paying attention by now!

You must find all the love you need inside of yourself. It sounds lonely, but when you have all the power to create all the love you need, then no one can ever "make you lonely." They cannot crush your reason for living by not giving you the love you think you want from them. The key is love. Does it matter who creates it? Does it have to be that one person you "thought you knew?" When you trust someone, they become a part of you. They are inside you, but you decided to trust. It's wonderful when they live up to your expectations. When they don't, forgive them and forgive yourself for not living up to theirs. 

When you love others, you are creating that love. When they love you, you are part of that creation too. Be sure to clear a way for their love to find you. Only true love can pass through. Those who are frauds will get tired and give up. Bye bye.

You must believe you are worthy of love - even to love yourself - you must believe this.

If you keep giving, desperate to please others, they will hungrily take your offerings until they recognize that you are their servant. Then they might destroy you on a whim. 

"Did you want a different shade of red than I provided? I'm so sorry," you say. 

"You weren't in the mood for my best? I guess I have to work harder. Again...so sorry."

"You wanted pearls today and I only brought you diamonds?" Sigh.

You will know how to love others when you know how to love yourself. Practice, before you think you're ready. Be gentle with yourself. Do your best for yourself. Push through for excellence because you love excellence. Learn from the best. Learn from the worst too. Learn the difference.

People can be blind. Instead of begging them to look at you, open your own eyes. You will see a horizon full of angelic applause. As long as you are true to the excellence inside of you, there are myriads of spirits singing your praises, guiding you onward to realize your dreams. Can you hear them, my butterfly?

The wise and the intuitive will rise up to meet you and clear a path for your treasures to be shared with the world. The quiet ones may be listening inside their cocoons. When it seems like no one is listening, remember the heavenly applause. There are spirits that walk right beside you. I am one. TYM

Do you see me on the moon

Dancing to your desperate tune?

I am sending healing

I ask you to dance

Do you cry to all the trees

“Spread your branches – rescue me?”

I am sending magic

Catch it if you can!

Where the purple meets the black

Earth is silent – light is dim

Touch the moonlight in my hand

Send it back to me again

On the wings of silent dove

You will hear a childlike love

Let your friends surround you

They are my friends too

Dance for freedom – dance for bliss

Sending you a moonlit kiss

You will teach all creatures

How to do my dance

Where the moonlight meets the trees

Light is vibrant – branches speak

Wear the moonlight on your toes

Travel where the heavens glow…

Written In The Sand

I love the ocean. I will live beside it one day. I live in Colorado now. I lived in California for 23 years. I go back at least once a year to visit. 

Two years in a row we have made the trek to Disneyland, Forest Lawn and the Pacific Coast. All three are necessary. Before our trip this year, I had this powerful vision of the spirit in my mind (a spirit of love that I call Michael, though I know this spirit has had many beautiful names). I kept seeing and hearing about MJC - Places he wanted built all over the world. I heard "More Joy Centers," and I was so happy in my heart, not having any way to do this myself, but knowing it was a wonderful, magical idea. 

I saw children and parents coming together to play, leaving behind high-tech toys and playing simple games together or reading to each other. I saw parents and children looking into each other's eyes, not a video screen. It was a beautiful concept. I saw these centers around the nation and around the world. I didn't tell anyone, but my daughter. And I wrote it in the sand.

Five months later I have others inviting me to join the MJCH project - "We want to fulfill Michael's dream and goal of a children's hospital." I wonder if anyone else heard from Michael about this before the tape was revealed in the trial. Surely others did. This spirit is very clear in revealing his plans for the world. Thank you to everyone who listens.

Dreams may begin with letters written in the sand. When angels are guiding the dreams, we have but to walk with them, aligning our intentions and the reality will manifest. Miracles are happening!

Nina's Story: The Crimson Flowers

Who Am I? Who Are You?

There is momentum building for a new religion. Is that what we need? Celebrity has demanded worship for a long time. But it is not the thing. Many worship Jesus, but do it in ego. They get very angry if you don't worship Jesus in the same way they do. This holds true in nearly every religion with any name for God or Goddess. Rules are created. Control is implemented.

As humans we all "suffer" from this malady called "ego." It is destructive. Self-esteem is productive. Ego is driven by fear. Self-esteem fosters esteem for "others as yourself." It is driven by love. 

I could have done better. I am doing better through everyone who moves in LOVE now. I am always with you. I can never die. You can never die. We are truly one. I love that you love my legacy. I love that you love my music. 

Remember though, that I was scared, scared to just be me. I thought I had to be better. That's why I changed myself so much. There is a lesson here. Look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I am everything I need to be! I am beautiful!" Embrace who you are. If someone calls you ugly, he is revealing the ugliness inside himself. Don't accept it. Give back love. Don't lose your confidence to another's insecurities and need to control. The more I changed myself physically, the more I felt I needed to change. Society's visuals tell us this - like a command. These are only other's warped ideas of "beauty." I couldn't sleep because I couldn't be everything to everyone all the time. My ego thought I had to do that. So I lost everything of that life. My precious babies, I thought I had to do everything all at once. Now I have a new start through you. Love is continually regenerating. You cannot stop it. I am still here because LOVE is still here.

Build your actions on love. If someone misunderstands you - forgive them. Give them love. You've planted an important seed. It's not your job to prove to them that you are innocent. Truth will not be silenced. Others will come to water your flowers of truth and a garden has begun. I didn't trust that enough, and I was swallowed up by the pain. I was stopped - much too soon. People can blame whatever helps them to cope, but we all make our own decisions that can lead to us having no control. 

We must start with a way of thinking...a way of being...you now know that you are everything you need to be and are not trying to be everything others think you should be. It is necessary to know how to be grounded in order to learn how to fly. It is also important to know how to fly in order to learn to be grounded. Life is mysterious and ordinary. Find the mysterious in the ordinary and you have romance! Find the ordinary in the mysterious and you see that even the ordinary can be magical!

Be vulnerable to love. Let it overtake your heart and drive your actions. If I am the reason it has been reawakened in you, I am glad. You know my flaws in my physical lifetime. Thank you for focusing on my loving intentions. It is beautiful to me to know I am a part of your loving actions. Do it for love. I do not need protection, as Christ does not need to be "kept in Christmas." Love IS. No one can harm it. No one can take prayer out of the person. Just be love.

Those who wish to emulate Jesus don't spend their days trying to turn water into wine. To feed, to clothe, to give...that is the thing. Let LOVE be famous. You don't have to do it alone. The voices of the ancients are with you. Your friends are with you. My music is with you, yes. When you see someone hurting, sometimes a stranger - help. Let wisdom and compassion be your guides. The hardest thing of all sometimes, is helping the ones closest to you, those who know all of your faults and foibles and won't tell anyone how wonderful you've been. But you planted a most miraculous seed.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. "
Maya Angelou

You have a song for that. :) I left so many messages for you in my music. Thank you Maya, and to all who write of LOVE.

I don't want to be at the top of a new religion. I've seen how religion can hurt and confuse, turning brother against brother and sister against sister. I love all of the elements of belief that drive cooperation and loving action. I want to move through individuals with individual ways of doing things and many different beautiful ways of looking at the world.

God is love. Be love. Then who are you?

~21~

So many told me that my life would change. I was going to have a baby! Do the years fly or are they up to rushing by at the speed of light? I celebrate the growing process. It is beautiful to see a sweet little miracle go from pushing and kicking from the inside to doing the moonwalk across the floor before hundreds of screaming people. I love your talents. I am proud of your dedication to paying tribute to one you admire while displaying your own precise standards. I have moments of awe and joy - just watching you.

I admire you. I am proud of your scholastic accomplishments and your beautiful Spanish language skills. I love your sweet soulful singing and your fierce loyalty to the dance. I adore hearing you sing in the beautiful Spanish language. I love your belief in who you are and how you encourage others. I am proud of how you have changed, overcome many obstacles, and how you have changed me. 

I would give almost anything to reach back in my life and touch your baby toes again, hear your joyful giggle, or dance you around the room to a Disney tune. But it is all still here - in my heart - everything. So grow and glow, sweet girl. Heal and change your world. You have forever healed and changed mine - from your first breath. Thank you with all my heart, my beautiful Jasmine.  <3

No One Can Take Me Away

Tell them now - how to be forever together. Tell them you will never leave them. Teach them how to hear, see and feel you as you have heard, seen and felt me. How well did you know me before I "died?" How well do you know me now? I have transformed to a place where you miss me, yet I am embedded in your thoughts and movements in a new and spectacular way. Fusion of spirit...no time...no separation. In a way it seems I am not with you, for I am now in you. And yet, I always have been. Now you have become aware. Teach your children. This is how we stay together...we are forever.  TYM

Holding My Hand

Close this chapter, but don't put this book away. Open the windows and let sweet new air rush through your heart. Begin again. Let the sadness melt away and with comforting touch, reach out to the living. I am living too. I will show the way from Spirit's door. Hearts be healed. Love be our food. Share it with the world. Heal broken spirits and bodies. Know that you can reach for me at any time - and if you forget, no problem, I will be reaching for you.

"Justice" is incomplete...

As we reach the final phase of a trial I found too painful to watch - I am bombarded by the voices of millions of screaming hearts. "Justice is incomplete." I feel a huge swell of discontented cries praying that they can bear another "ending" in the history of Michael. Four years for the magnitude of what has been lost? I don't think the raging emotions of this pain will stand for that. There will be something more. I hear it.

Let the "MORE" be L.O.V.E.  Let the "MORE" be understanding of other souls that seemingly do not "fit in." There are angels among us in people costumes. Michael was one. Never forget. Love lives forever...

To Be Understood

Everyone wants to be loved. That sounds so nice, but can feel so empty. As I go through life I find it less fulfilling to hear -" I love you" - than to feel - "I understand you." It is beautiful to be "loved" and I am grateful, because it's better than being hated. Yet one could easily say "I love you" and be doing very unloving things behind your back. This can easily feel like hate. It can seem as though they don't understand what you consider to be the definition of love. Understanding someone cannot be forced. It can be attained through willingness and focus. It cannot be attained by insisting that the person accept as love, only what you wish to give. Their brand of "love" may not feel like "love" to you. Many of the saddest movies portray the heroine stating hopelessly that she doesn't "love" her would-be husband, only to hear him say, "You could LEARN to love me..."

I always thought that he would need to love her enough to let her go - and not demand that she "learn." Maybe it's that she doesn't understand him - or that he is blind to her feelings and only desires a placeholder that he can manipulate and control. Maybe there are people who hide too much to ever be understood. To understand them best is to understand their need for privacy. If you are a very open and honest person who wants to share heart feelings in an environment of trust, this is heartbreaking.

You may come to feel that you don't understand humans at all. With their endless facades and heart masks, with their fears and pretense, it can be a daunting task to attempt to understand anyone.

It is tempting to believe that there is a being greater than ourselves who always understands, who knows us intimately. It is a comfort that many cannot survive without. Believing that we all are "higher" beings and have merely forgotten how to interact on such intimate levels is somewhat comforting too. But it doesn't fill the void NOW. 

So if you can learn to cultivate relationships in pure spirit, if you can let yourself believe there is a love that knows no boundaries or rules, you can survive to live another day on Earth. You can breathe healing into others here -even if they seem to reject you - or love you with intense superficiality. When your soul commands understanding and to understand, you will not be rejected. You simply must be willing to reach as far as needful, to expand your "what if-ness" to find what you've been searching for. Love cannot be contained, not by dimensions, not by death, and not by doubt, because spirit can reach for you too.

I Believe in Dreams...

Sometimes I think that we are all so busy chasing our dreams that we don't help anyone else achieve theirs. If you are one who believes that "there is enough for all," then it is easy to celebrate others' dreams while allowing yours to merrily come to you. 

I am contemplating the whole "allowing your dreams to come to you" way of thinking, because it seems that our culture is geared for anything but that. 

Advertise, advertise  - get yourself out there - and when you do - it feels like all the cartoons where the people are zoomed down by hundreds of cars the second they stick their tippy toes into the road. Everyone is "zooming" to get what they want. Who is stopping to see what others are offering? 

Do I really want to be a "zooming car" anyway? My spirit is repulsed by the idea, but I feel that I have to fit in.

I love taking a walk when it's dark, stopping to stare at the stars and the moon with wonder. I love magic. Magic doesn't seem to "sell" though. That's kind of a wonderful thing - isn't it? No one has found a way to put a price tag on praying for joy in the moonlight. 

I love that.  ~h~
