~ lovingly presented by Bill Bauman ~
The Greek playwright Sophocles once wrote: “One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.” Yes, love has been the single, central phenomenon that has infused, given life to and sustained our human life from its creative inception. In short, we’re all ere on earth to love and be loved, from start to finish. We’re lovers—that’s the alpha and omega of life on earth.
If we look around us, we find love anywhere and everywhere we peer—it’s in the heavens, the earth, nature, human beings, the air, the unknown, everywhere. What’s more, it’s a love that’s active, alive, engaged. It’s loving and making love all the time—with us, with every creation we know, with everything imaginable. And, since we’ an intimate part of this amazing love, we’re also active, alive, engaged lovers, making love with life itself.
This teleconference is experiential, so please go on a journey with me to three special places where love is “happening” in and around you—so that, through this threefold journey, you can participate even more consciously in love’s act of ongoing love-making:
1. Our creative source. The divine is love and has created us in love, as love, as perfection, as beauty, as wonder. So, love is our nature, our inspiration, our very raison d’etre. If we listen closely, we can hear God Within whispering love messages into our inner ear—telling us how beautiful, loveable and magnificent we are. We can sense the invitation to participate more fullyh in that love, even to the point of loving back—making love to the divine and allowing the divine to make love to us.
2. The air—or prana or chi, that we breathe. This precious atmospheric vibrational construct of love—which we call air—is importing love into us and exporting love out from us all the time. It’s helping love itself to enrich our lungs, giving new life to our waiting cells, and bathing our bodies in life’s precious embrace. Air is a lover, and we are the ones being loved … and we can return the act of loving at any moment.
3. Our very own bodies. Our physical bodies love and adore us; they give their lives to support, honor and bring unending life to our lives. In short, they’re making delicious love to us endlessly, telling us how much they love us in so many tangible ways. They even invite us to love our bodies in return, magnifying their love even more and bringing our whole bodily experience into its fullest celebration of loving life.
The well-known Japanese researcher, Dr. Masaru Emoto, tells us that “To love yourself, to thank yourself and to respect yourself is to love and thank all of existence. When you do so, each of these vibrations will be sent out into the cosmos, and the great symphony of that harmonic vibration will enfold our planet with waves, such as those that cherish your heaven-granted life.”
In conclusion, allow yourself to experience love’s embrace—not necessarily in the air or in your body, but in whatever way Love Itself wants to show itself to you, or make love to you, right now. While you attune to love and experience its workings within you, these follow words—like affirmations—may remind you of some of love’s pure truth:
• Love is all there is … there is truly nothing but love in this world
• Love wants nothing, needs nothing, expects nothing, demands nothing—except itself, love itself
• You and I embody love, breathe love, live love, and are love. We are love itself, pure and simple.
• Love’s only role in life is to love … and, specifically, to love you
• Love dances daily on your skin … echoes your deepest truth … encourages your forgetful mind … gives life to your tired body … and lives in perpetual adoration of your beauty
In conclusion, please enjoy this remarkable poem entitled Love Song, written recently by me:
Imagine love as music
And yourself as its favorite instrument
Picture love as an intimate tune a sweetheart song
Singing its devoted melody of love into your depths
Envision love playing its heart song soul song spirit song
On that perfect instrument of love
Called you
Love sings hums chants plays
On an elegant instrument of sheer delight
That fine-tuned perfectly polished instrument called you
Can you hear love’s elegance
Playing its tune and singing its song
In your cells your heart your mind
Through your nerve endings your blood stream
Your feelings your thoughts your self
Love is a song that must be sung
Must be heard must be sensed must be felt
It’s the irresistible song that sings in our heart
The compelling song of love of light
The magical song of joy of glee
The endless, soaring circling song of life
On an instrument that is one of elegant delight
If I were love playing my music singing my song
If I were love strumming the strings of your willing heart
I would sing my devotion into your veins
Play my zeal into your thoughts
Hum my adoration into your body
Intone my reverence into your emotion
Chant my joy into your feelings
And as I found you listening to my delicate tune
I would croon to you in my soulful melodious tone
About how beautiful you are
How divine you look
How perfect, wondrous magnificent loveable delightful you are
Yes I would love you love you love you without end
In a song of everlasting affection and adoration
You are the cherished instrument of love
And the irresistible song of life
That intones itself daily from your core
Yes, you are love itself
Infinite endless enlivening gracious luscious love
You are the sacred music of life
Sing then your soul’s song
Sing it into our waiting hearts
Into our pores through our bodies into our depths
Be the song the song of life
The song of love
Thank you for being such a beautiful manifestation of life’s love. I love you!
Blessings to you!
