There may be some two trillion galaxies in the universe that we can see…some galaxies bigger and some small than our Milky Way.

Our Milky Way galaxy, by the way, is so big that light…traveling at the speed of light, of course…takes about 100,000 years to go from one side of the galaxy to the other.

And, so maybe two billion of these galaxies moving throughout what we can see of this seemingly expanding universe, of which, we are pretty sure there is much more of it than we can see.

Perhaps something infinite and endless is this universe we are within and part of. How truly AWEsome is that…how unimaginably WONDERful…

I wonder what this could mean for you and the life you are living… I wonder what this could mean for us, for our community all together here on Earth 🌍…

‘Wow! She’s so beautiful,’ he thought.

Sitting over by the water was the most magnificent girl he had ever, ever seen. To describe how gorgeous she was would just be too much. We just don’t have words to explain the deepest of beauty we see in life.

He walked over to her, very peacefully matching the peacefulness of her presence. She was looking out at the water and smiling so bright. The joy emanating from her body powerfully drew him in.

‘May I sit with you?’ he asked. ‘Oh yes,’ she said. ‘Sit with me for a while.’ And, he knew she really meant it. She wasn’t just being courteous. She really welcomed him to be there with her in that moment.

She looked at him with the most loving smile. ‘Tell me about all the things that no one knows about you,’ she said to him.

That request, the most intimate he had ever received, started their conversation that spanned the entirety of that afternoon’s sunlight before it filtered behind the trees. It was the deepest conversation he ever had and may ever have.

And, as songs from the birds in the trees waned and chirps of the frogs waxed, this beautiful girl he had been with all afternoon said to him ‘I love you so very much’.

And then he noticed what had really been there the whole time…the wings that enveloped him from the beautiful girl he too knew he so loved.

‘You’re my guardian angel,’ he whispered with comforting amazement.

‘I am,’ she replied. ‘I’m always with you and I love you’. She smiled and brought his hand in hers. ‘Sit with me for a while any time’.

👼 He heard a baby’s cry…or so he thought. A little while later, he heard it again. Out the window he looked and saw them. A young woman, holding a baby in her arms, was walking along. She too was crying, as she spoke on the phone with someone else. ‘I don’t want to do this to you anymore,’ he heard her say.

He looked over to a few angels in his room and they nodded. Within a few moments, he had gotten on his shoes and walked outside. Around the corner to the back where he previously saw her, he had arrived, but she was not here anymore. ‘Just keep walking,’ the angels gestured to him. And so, he did.

There she was at the side of the building sitting on the steps, her head down. Slowly, he walked towards her. ‘May I sit with you and hold your baby?’ he quietly asked. She looked up, tears down each cheek. ‘There are angels here with you,’ he said. She nodded.

He sat beside her, and she gently passed to him her baby as she cried. And cried she did for a long time. He looked over to the angels and again they simply nodded in affirmation. He and the young one sat in peaceful silence.

‘Thank you,’ she said, after a few minutes. He looked up in time to see an angel behind her, lifting what appeared to be something of heavy weight out of her arms. He knew this meant that she had released deep pain.

‘You can come here anytime and I will sit with you,’ he replied. ‘And the angels,’ he continued, ‘they are always with you.’ 👼

🍀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘀

Within the garden, taller than any of the plants growing here, are the garden angels. And, do you know what they love to do? They are always waving to people with a hand that invites them in. Like a hand beckoning someone from afar to come over, the garden angels endlessly try to inspire people who are passing by to visit the garden. They know how beautiful it is here and how meaningful a visit to the garden can be for people.

And angels do this for us all over the place. Nearly everywhere we go, along the way, angels will try to catch our attention, calling us to notice something that could be helpful for us. It could be a person you can connect with, or a message that can help you to remember something, or simply a space you can visit to rest within, or anything else.

Children are especially tuned in to noticing the call of an angel. Perhaps we should give the opportunity to go where they lead us sometimes. And, I hope we all may notice more where the angels call us to. Should you find yourself walking by a garden and have a good feeling about visiting, I wonder who may be inviting you in.

🌹’Wait here’ her guardian angel told her. ‘Look around at the flowers for a few minutes’.

As she wandered through the rows of beautiful flowers, someone walked by and smiled at her. She too smiled at him and wished him a happy day.

‘He is very lonely’ her guardian angel told her. ‘But, you helped him to feel connected with someone today.’

‘Is that why you asked me to wait here?’ she asked. ‘Yes,’ her guardian angel replied. ‘We knew you would be just what he needed today.’🌷

✨So Many Helping Angels✨

As he wandered through the busy city street, he saw many people hurriedly walking here and there. Though there was hardly any space between the people, within groups and all around the people were many more angels.

Some were walking in front of people trying to help them to slow down. Others were whispering in the ears of someone, giving them an idea or suggesting something for them to notice. A few angels appeared to be physically helping some, such as the one holding steady a cane held by an older woman.

Among all of this, the most beautiful thing he saw was a young woman talking to an older man as they slowly wandered along the sidewalk. They were walking towards him, but it would be a while before they would pass by each other. The woman appeared to be in her twenties and the man appeared to be in his sixties.

What the young woman didn't know, he was sure of, was that the older man she was talking to was not human. It was instead an angel that was appearing for her as a human. She had recently lost her dad and this kind older man appeared and began talking and walking with her. This comforted her because she could feel her dad within his patient presence.

Other people who looked their way would see the man walking with her as if he were human too. Few people out there that day would realize that he was actually an angel.

Looking closer around this woman and the angel she was walking with, he saw another figure only of a small bright light moving steadily along with them. He knew this would be the soul of her dad. Her guardian angel had let his soul be around her anytime she needed him. And today, his soul was there with her and the angel that brought her comfort.

As he passed them and walked along, he wondered how often people may be talking with someone they believe to be another human, but which is actually an angel. He knew this happened all the time. So grateful he was to be able to be here this day to see the light of hope in the young woman's eyes as she was given some time to be in the presence of this angel and her dad’s soul.

🌟🌟🌟

Oh, the angels can help us along in infinite ways. Often, it is with the common happenings of our everyday lives. An angel may also appear as a human and allow itself to be seen by someone or many people. There may have been times when you believed you were with another human, but it was actually an angel. The angels love you and are here to help you with anything, no matter how big or small it seems.

♥️ When I die…

…from March 10, 2024…

As many of my creations come, some time ago, whisperings came of writing about dying and then yesterday, I heard that it is time. Because it can be so helpful for us all, I want to share my understanding of some of what could be happening when we are dying,

⭐️ We sometimes seem to know ahead of time that our time is soon to come. Most commonly, I have heard this described as people being visited by the souls of loved ones who have passed on. And, it almost never seems to be a frightening experience. Rather, people describe feeling comforted very much so by being visited by, for example, their father in spirit.

⭐️ And, as we near death. people describe more and more seeing souls of people they love and who love them. Some people also share about being visited by angels and other beings. The wonderful part of this is that it hasn’t mattered what someone believed in life about such…people of all faiths, religions, and beliefs in all areas of the world have described some kind of spiritual visitations. Again, nearly always these bring comfort and lead to peace of dying.

⭐️ No one ever dies alone. I do very much believe that our guardian angel especially guides our soul on. And it sounds like other angels and spirits come along the journey with us. People witnessing death have described being able to see spirits and angels there with the dying person and have shared witnessing the soul move on from the body.

⭐️When we get to ‘the other side’, whatever that may be, we seem to be brought together again with souls of people we have loved and who have loved us. Our souls really do seem to travel together in ‘families’ and all seem to be waiting to joyfully greet us when we ‘return home’. We are never alone.

⭐️ Suddenly, it all makes sense. Through what has often been called a ‘life review’, I have heard that we get to see all the impact we have had in life, all the people we helped, how we brought joy, how we have hurt, how our choices influenced our life and those of other people, why we experienced certain things, who our soul family/soul mates are and why or why not we connected with them in life…so much more. Overall, this does not seem to be a ‘review’ of regret, but rather of ‘understanding’ and ‘knowing’. Whether we die suddenly or over a longer period of time, somehow this ‘review’ and knowing seems to still be able to happen.

⭐️ From ‘the other side’ our souls can be with people we love who are still in life at anytime. The souls of people we love can know our thoughts, they can hear what we say, they can see what we are experiencing and do. It is not in as a much of a judgmental way as we may think. Remember that from the spiritual side, they can see it all and have understanding. And so, spirits are with us in a supportive, helpful, loving way.

⭐️ And souls, angels, and other beings communicate with us all the time, letting us know they are here with us. It is not always easy for them, who are of energy, to get our attention in our busy world of physical experience. Still, they try to connect with us each in ways that are most resonate…for some it may be dreams, others through thoughts we have, others with actual physical signs, such as the ever noticed feather or butterfly, and so much more. One thing souls especially want us to know is that they are okay.

Still, there is so much more to say. Obviously, all that I have shared comes from the presumption that we are souls and that there is more after we ‘die’. All of what I shared comes from the many, many stories I have heard from people who have died and come back, people who are actively dying, people who have witnessed the dying process of others, and people who are mediums able to communicate with spirit. I write this not as absolute truth, but as a sharing of experiences.

When I die, which I believe will be many years from now when I am very old, I surely will be looking after anyone I love who is still in life. And I would encourage the visiting of a psychic medium as a way for us to communicate. I’m always very touched by my grandmother and dad sharing with me and have forever been changed by being visited in this way by the soul of a friend I admired, but didn’t have the opportunity of much time with here in life.

The time became right to share all this after I told my mom about what I have heard from my dad in spirit…because I want her to know he is here with us and that he’ll be there for her when it’s her time to go.

I share this because I believe it can be helpful to talk about dying as we live. We need not be afraid. We all eventually will have to let go of all that is material here for our energy to move on. And, as people who are dying open up and share about being visited by souls, perhaps we should welcome that and let it be a comforting experience for us all.

One final thing I want us to know is that, whether we realize it or not, we DO hear what our angels, spirits, and guides communicate with us. I know we are not always conscious of it, but every day, we see the signs, we hear the whisperings, we are guided on our way by those who we love and who love us. ♥️

Just a few...

'Just a few' I can hear within my mind from a soft voice in an ASMR video on YouTube from someone drawing a picture and sharing how she is almost done, but has 'just a few more details' to create. And, as I have written quite a few times to people who share their creations online in this way, they are helping many people to feel less alone and feel that they are okay in the moments they are watching their videos.

And, I heard something recently about how it only takes a few minutes to help each other feel less alone...a few minutes of conversation, a few minutes to watch someone's child while they make an important decision or a phone call, a few minutes even of silence with someone by your side. Just a few minutes so they know someone is there for them.

I wonder what ways you could offer 'just a few' moments for someone...or the ways you notice someone has given a few for you. I wonder what this might mean for you, for them, for us all...

*With the large Oak tree and swing within the grass meadow. I come to her at the terminal of one of my favorite trails to wander.

[messagesoflove4]

Do you know why I say ‘hello’ to you?

In a society where people just pass on by

Here I am looking you in the eyes, asking how you are

And, ‘who are you again?’ I imagine you wonder

Well, I know I could die tomorrow

All this that is my life could cease to exist anytime

Of course I want to talk to you, to see you now

To live in this moment that I am alive

Because LOVE is all that goes on with us when we pass on

I have experienced how powerful a kind hello can be

And how meaningful little moments of connection are

For our souls weave us within this journey of life for a reason

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎

Look for the people who are celebrating LOVE

And follow those people…

People who create no boundaries nor borders around the protection and well-being of ALL people

Who have such a deep reverence for all of Earth’s expressions of life, all over this beautiful planet

People who, if they are going to sign their name to anything, it’s something for the LOVE of all of us…

Follow those people

Follow that LOVE

I wish us all well-being and LOVE

🎶 Creative expression…

She was listening to some of her most favorite music, powerful vocals, thunderous rhythms, ooohhhh, and when those low notes of the piano shined through then, she could feel them within her.

Rocking out and dancing through her apartment, she wanted to sing and dance for all to see and hear. On the way by, she picked up one of her favorite bandanas and she twirled it all around her through the highs and the lows, right to the very last note and beat.

This was an exhilarating experience, one that she knew she needed in her life to move energy through her, to express everything about her.

'What does creative expression mean to you?' she asked her friends the next day...making something unique that wasn't there before, understanding myself authentically and expressing who I truly am, being mindful in a moment with something I enjoy...

Yes, oh yes, it was all that and more, including all the ways that her life energy, the energy of her soul moves through her.

Creative expression is the way she dresses and the sparkles she wears in her hair. It is the natural sound of her voice and the phrases she speaks into existence. Creativity is the flavor of coffee she enjoys and the way she breaks her chocolate bar into smaller pieces. It is how she looked at you while you were speaking and when she will let you know of her reflections.

Everything, everything that she is and does is her way of expressing creatively. And she is here now to ask you to consider what creative expression means for you.

*From November 2023, memorialized within my album of Earth’s TRUEST TRUTH with some pretty Bull Thistle.

As I shared with this message, originally posted with some mushroom pictures, I love taking my pictures and they are part of my creative expression. How I take my pictures, the perspectives I get are truly of my authentic expression.

♥️She walked along the sand towards the water knowing right where he would be. And there he was, standing before the water looking out.

As she got closer, he turned around in quiet amazement. ‘How did you know you could find me here?’ he asked. She smiled and replied ‘I heard you call for me.’

‘You heard? But how?’ he wondered.

‘I’ve come here before and called for you,’ she revealed. ‘That must be why I could hear you call for me.’

It was a beautiful evening, the sun setting behind them. The waves splashed among their feet as they looked out at the ocean together, at times looking at each other. There was no more needed to be said. ♥️

I have read this little book 'The Art of Contemplation' by Richard Rudd. It’s in my library now📚 to share. And these are some of the meaningful words within...

‘You cannot know someone new in a single, wild rush. You have to meet each other many times. You have to talk, listen, explore, travel together, perhaps argue and disagree at times, until one day you will simply find that you have found a trusted friend for life.’

‘Another gift you may like to give yourself is to learn the art of meandering, sauntering, and lingering. This involves giving yourself more time than you need when you are going somewhere. Instead of rushing hurriedly from one place to the next, you might deliberately take a more circuitous route via a park or along a river, or even through a bustling marketplace. The trick is to be somewhere with no purpose other than pleasure and to take your time.’

‘Handling our emotional wave and the waves of others is akin to being out beyond the line of breakers with a surfboard. We have to attune ourselves to the rhythm of different waves as they approach. If we get distracted by the rhythms and waves of others, we will mis-time our alignment and get pulled under or overwhelmed by a wave. However, when we manage to hold our own equilibrium, even in a rough sea, we will hit that beautiful sweet spot that every surfer knows.’

‘Although it may seem like a romantic dream, pure love is the only lasting legacy we humans have. All our knowledge and science and self-importance falls away in the presence of such love. It is this love that we come from, and this love that we will return to. It is the fathomless mystery of the human heart.’

‘By adding a soft touch to our daily doings, we create curves where there are hard edges and we trigger smiles instead of frowns. Gentleness simply makes life easier.’

‘The very quality that makes water weak-it's yielding-is the power that allows it to defeat all else, from the hardest rock to the most raging fire.’

‘If you feel the need for a deeper intimacy or connection with a certain person, invite them for a walk and let the contemplative space emerge between you.’

‘Deliberately go to a space where you often feel overwhelmed or stressed-this could be a bustling market, a supermarket, a shopping mall, a train station, or even an airport. Be the only person there for no reason other than to deepen the contemplative state. Fill up a shopping trolley and then empty it again, stand in a queue for no reason or just sit and watch people going about their business. The point of this contemplation is to be in such spaces and be utterly calm, just breathing deeply and enjoying your own presence, like an actor on life’s stage.’

‘Lingering is about atuning to the invitations that life offers us on a daily basis. Perhaps a dog approaches you and licks your feet. You pause and give him your attention for a few moments. Perhaps the sun comes out from behind a cloud while you are busy shopping. Instead of ignoring it, linger a little and feel its light dusting your body. Lingering does not need to make you late for commitments. A linger can be a few seconds long or it can be a few hours among friends. The important lesson of lingering is to learn to receive life at ever deepening levels.’

‘For many of us, the beauty of evening light is often lost to electrical lighting, and our use of screens. The magic of candlelight, firelight, moonlight, and starlight play upon our being, drawing out more mystical nature and expanding our subtler extrasensory capacities.’

‘Trace the mythic connection between our beginning and our completion as we play out the greatest story ever told, from ‘once upon a time’ to ‘and they lived happily ever after’. Feel the joy and laughter rising within you and let its light fill your cells. You are part of an eternal spirit and can never die. Your life is but a sentence in this great storyline, so you will do your utmost to make yours a gracious narrative, filled with forgiveness, love and higher purpose.’

‘Dare to step a little outside your comfort zone and watch a smile spreading on another face somewhere in the world.’

She had passed on…

And when she looked into the light, suddenly she saw her childhood friend. It had been years since she had seen him. Who knew if he would even remember her.

But, here he was…and some how, some way she saw that he carried her love for him all throughout life. She saw the moments when he almost gave up, but then he remembered that time she had hugged him. She saw a time when she had smiled at him one day and he knew it would all be okay.

She saw him as an adult, gently holding hands with his own little girl, a child who reminded him so much of her. She saw him now as an older man praying for her every night, as now she knew he did for all of his life.

‘I love you dearly too,’ she heard him whisper to her.

With an angel by her side, she got to see all the people who her love impacted in her life. And now, of everything she had experienced…she KNEW why.

I cried so much while writing this…and I didn’t know I would. Oh, but I KNOW that it is such a really true experience that we have a powerful impact for people within our life. Our love for someone, our prayers can be such a guiding light and inspiration for their life.

As many of my stories do, this started with an idea on a walk that I wrote a line of in a note in my phone. And, I’m so thankful that I did so that I could write more and share.

Her daddy ♥️

She had always dreamed of her parents being with her at her wedding. Of course, many people would hope for that. But, some years before she would, her dad passed away unexpectedly.

And, as she stood so beautifully dressed at the alter that day, her face streaked with tears, beside her and slightly behind was her dad’s soul. He appeared younger, seemingly about the age he was when she was a little girl, and looked so full of life and love.

For the whole ceremony, he was there by her side. She may not have seen him, but she could feel him. He, of course, was on her mind the whole time.

He whispered in her ear asking for a dance and she smiled brightest of all, memorialized in the picture that had a little spot of light next to her head. It came in the photo package from the photographer as imperfect extras, but was the one she framed and displayed by the bed, knowing it was a family photo with her dad by her side.

♥️♥️♥️

Souls of people we love can be with us at any time, as our guardian angel helps call them in. Any time they are on your mind, it is likely they are here with you. We can often feel their presence easier than we can sense the angels because souls are of that light of love from the universe that we too are part of. And the souls of the people we love look to us with such unconditional love always.

♥️The Same Way that You KNOW💚

‘You have eyes only for me,’ she said to him.

She had a way of surprising him with the most profound truths.

‘You see me as your destined lover’ she continued on.

They were walking together through an enchanting path. And now, they paused to look into each other.

‘And, how is it that you know that?’ he asked with a smile.

She looked for a few moments to the butterfly that had been flying gracefully all around them, and then looked back into his eyes.

‘The same way that you KNOW,’ she replied, as they both began to walk on together.

I love these short stories of unfolding magical moments of authenticity shared between these lovers. As some of these stories emerge, I'm just as in awe and wonder as he is. And so, I have started to memorialize some with pictures I add to my album Earth's TRUEST TRUTH. This is from the only time I’ve ever gotten a picture of a butterfly 🦋

How truly beautiful! These are more pictures I have taken through my herbal explorations, often within a permaculture garden, sometimes out in the wild.

What to say to share with this that I may not have expressed already? I just so very much love and admire how this 🌏 Earth, from which we are expressions of her life, takes good care of us. These plants, you and I, us all...are so very interconnected.

As much as I am genuinely having fun with the unfolding journey of this exploration now, believing this was the right time...the CHOICELESS CHOICE...within my life for this, I so wish for us all to have more of an opportunity to learn and practice this ancient wisdom of Earth when we are young. I have been so inspired by children of recent years who enjoy spending time with plants and all kinds of Earth's beings. It's really cute! 😊

I have been putting these pictures together like this because I have been having experiences of sharing these herbs in tea 🫖 form with people and, just like I have enjoyed knowing myself, it means so much to me for people I share with to truly 'see' what they look like. Even better to be out there in presence with these plants, as I have been enjoying the experience of. But, just to see a flowering top of a mint, for example, as we enjoy her within a cup of tea is precious and meaningful.

How exciting, indeed, and deeply meaningful! Come to me outside among nature with the plants 🌱 anytime. That is where you'll find me...
