Enjoy Growth and Reap Rewards
Reap what you have sown and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Grow and expand in all areas of your life.
Fertility, growth and abundance are all imminent. All the seeds you have planted are coming to life and there are plenty more rewards to come. In a material sense, this could mean financial security and comfort – there will be more than enough to go around. If you are making business deals or setting intentions to create financial growth, there is indication a considerable amount of monetary success is coming. Other forms of abundance may be arriving – opportunities, marriage proposals and even the birth of a child. You are being helped to respect nature and connect with its forces in order to have a genuinely supported journey through life.

Be bold and mighty forces will aid you. Take action. Good luck favors the brave.
This day I will start a new journey. I will not wait until everything is just right. I know there will always be challenges, obstacles, and imperfect conditions. So what! I will get started now. With each step I will grow stronger, more skilled, and more confident. I will take a risk and I will succeed.
Strength is gentle. True kindness has wings. Love in action endures.
This day I will let kindness grow in me. I will be gentle with myself and give my soul the love it deserves. I will focus on everlasting love and let it gently flow into the world. I am alive, my gratitude knows no bounds, and my heart now overflows with love and kindness.
Immense delight can be found in the smallest of things. Cultivate fluttering moments of joy.
This day I give myself permission to be happy. I will laugh and laugh some more. I will spread my wings of joy and soar. I now let go of the past and live in the present moment. I am a beautiful, smart, creative heart on a journey towards ultimate happiness.
Elegance is found in the beauty of nature. The lotus waiting to bloom. Be the swan on the water and glide.
This day I will give thanks for the miracle that is me. For I, who was once an ugly duckling, have become something more. I will see the beauty in myself, others, and nature even when things are not perfect. I know that what I become depends on what I’ve overcome. I will find my rhythm, glide on the waves, and I will be a swan.
Banish the fog of illusion. Open your eyes to the truth. Remember the perfection of who you are.
This day I will be myself in a world that is constantly trying to make me something else. I will remember my true self and honor him/her. I will walk away from all of the confusion, drop illusions, and remember this truth; I am a powerful being, I have a clear mind, and I am a miracle in this world.

“She took me deep into her night and her fog. She tried to break me on her demonic altar.
But I told her No.
And she listens to my No, when I infuse it with all of my conviction and my heart.
On the dividing line between sanity and madness, life and death, love and loss, I found myself finally, learned the lessons my father could never teach me. He abandoned me to the darkness so I had to find my own way. How to love. How to breathe, how to surrender to the breath. How to trust. How to stay kind. And how to keep walking, even when death is close.
That is trauma, you see, my love, the sense that you’re on the edge of oblivion, about to disappear, when in reality you’re not, and you’re safe but you’re hurting and you find no relational haven in time or the world. That sense of doom and the overwhelm of the night. The absence of all empathy.
But No. No. You are not her meat. You are not her prey, her collateral damage. This screaming in your head may be loud but thoughts shall not define you and will not hurt you as you learn to embrace them, even laugh at them through the night.
I have learned this the hard way. I have passed through the hell realms where the brain seems close to madness and the body is on somatic fire. I have learned to give myself to the night so she cannot take me by force. This is the secret of all healing, I tell you.
I will not be her victim any longer. I have found power in my powerlessness, victory in the ego’s failure. My strength lies in my willingness to shatter for love and for the goodness of things. Her night will not devour me; I shall devour it first, in trust.
Like you, I have felt the wild heart pounding and the terrible heat generated by the body, and the sweat and the constrictions and the tremors of primordial arousal. I have felt the contractions in the belly, and the numbness and the tingles in the arms and legs and the way we sometimes feel like we are falling into oblivion and all things are coming to an end. I have known it all and I know now, finally, finally, it is God. I have given up the fight against life, surrendered to the power of my very own body, my healing temple. I tell my heart to beat faster, harder, to beat out of my chest, and it does. I tell the heat to rise to a peak, and I tell the tremors to intensify as much as they need to. I invite the storm so it does not end me. I beg the anxiety to increase. I beg the terror to do its worst. I know nothing can break me except my own refusal to live. I know I am stronger than I would ever believe.
I have told my nervous system to show me its terrifying healing power. I have relaxed into my own sweat and flesh and pounding. I have given myself willingly to the night and to the darkness, to her convulsions and contractions, I have become one with her and she has become one with me. Entered the death realm, was sucked into the heart of trauma, it was not happening to me but alongside me and with me and through me and it was finally a part of me and I was bigger than it all at last. And I was no victim, no helpless child, but the life force – yes, the fucking LIFE FORCE – that created a billion universes with energy to spare, with playful laughter and wild abandon and a twinkle in its eye.
Vibrating with warm energy, shivering with awe, I open my eyes again. I see you now.
Hello, my love.
Hello.
The worst has happened and I am alive. We are alive. Terror as portal. Yes, terror as portal. We are here.
Hello.
I have gone deep into her night and fog and I have found only a stronger version of myself, and I know this is possible for you too. I tell her not to break me and she does not. She listens, she does, when I talk with the fullness of my being, with a courageous heart, and with all my authenticity. She will listen to you too.
Do not fear the night, my love, do not fear her fog and her contractions, do not run when the dark material emerges and do not panic at the point of utter helplessness for that is the healing point. The eye of the storm will inoculate you. Her darkness will strengthen you if you let it, and she will show you things the daytime knows nothing of.
Trust the night! For she is you, you see – your own dark warrior heart, your own ache and longing for safety, and warmth, and home…
Today is a day to focus on wealth. Wealth can mean many things and can come in many forms. What would make me feel truly wealthy? Money? Acclaim? Possessions? Or am I confusing riches with wealth? Today I will bring into my life the unseen aspects of existence that truly make me wealthy ~ friendship, love, and peace.
High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely every way Got the flats all around me sky up above Yes I need a little water of love
I’ve been too and long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough Yes I need a little water of love
Water of love deep in the ground But there ain’t no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It’s gonna carry that water of love to me
There’s a bird up in a tree sitting up high Just waiting for me to die If I don’t get some water soon I’ll be dead and gone in the afternoon
Water of love deep in the ground But there ain’t no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It’s gonna carry that water of love to me
Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman she gone Once there was a river now there’s a stone You know it’s evil then you’re living alone
Water of love deep in the ground But there ain’t no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It’s gonna carry that water of love to me, carry that
Water of love deep in the ground But there ain’t no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It’s gonna carry that water of love to me
When I need you I just close my eyes and I’m with you And all that I so want to give you It’s only a heartbeat away
When I need love I hold out my hands and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us A telephone can’t take the place of your smile But you know I won’t be traveling forever It’s cold out, but hold out and do like I do
When I need you I just close my eyes and I’m with you And all that I so want to give you, babe It’s only a heartbeat away
It’s not easy when the road is your driver Honey, that’s a heavy load that we bear But you know I won’t be traveling a lifetime It’s cold out, but hold out and do like I do
Oh, I need you
When I need love I hold out my hands and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you I just close my eyes And you’re right here by my side Keeping me warm night and day
I just hold out my hand Just hold out my hand And I’m with you darling Yes I’m with you darling All I want to give you Is only a heartbeat away
Love means many things to many people, here is one man’s expression.
YOU ARE THE ONE
Do not seek love. Do not leave yourself for love, and search for love in the other. Love is not an object, it cannot be given nor taken away. It cannot be found nor lost. Love is not a feeling, a state, or a peak experience, but what you are, presence itself.
Do not confuse love with attraction. Attraction comes and goes, can fade over time. Do not confuse love with longing. Longing is impermanent, transitory. Do not confuse love with feelings of bliss, pleasure, an excited nervous system. These passing states cannot last; it is not in their nature. Even promises, given with such certainty today, with the best of intentions, can fade tomorrow, or be broken.
Love, however, does not fade. Love cannot diminish over time. Love is not a commodity, a shifting form. Love is a field, a field within and without us, a field in which thoughts, feelings, even the most seemingly solid plans for the future, can appear and disappear. Love holds hope as much as loss, excitement as much as boredom, crushing disappointment as much as bliss. Love is the field for the shifting forms, the ground that holds us as we walk, sit, talk or do not, feel what we feel in each other’s presence, go about the business of our day, plan, eat, hope, say goodbye, try to love. Love is greater than us. We do not generate it with words and deeds, or even intentions, but we are continually embraced by it, held in its vastness, no matter what we do, or do not. We are married, we divorce; we are friends, we are lovers; we break up, we break together; we are born, we die; the field endures.
Nobody has ever given us love; that is the great illusion. We have simply remembered the field in each other’s presence, sometimes, recognised eternity in the midst of the everyday, then credited another. Love never came from outside of us; we simply touched our own presence, fell into the love that we are, and cannot not be. And nobody ever took love away from us; we simply forgot the field, and ‘blamed’ the other, and looked for love again, feeling its absence, lost in a narrative of ‘lost love’. Yet love was there, even in its apparent absence; it was present, even in the loss. It cannot be broken; a wave cannot crush the Ocean.
Do not seek love, do not look for the light, but be it, offer it; the joy of loving another is infinitely greater than the joy of fearfully clinging to another’s love, for deep down you know it is only an illusion that what you have always longed for could ever have come from outside of you. You are the One; you have always been the One.
The search ends exactly where it began – in presence.
You realise you are love itself, and this changes everything; love is yours, forever, even when it’s not.
