Brand New

You have given yourself permission to live through this moment and to continue into the next. You have done this. This moment is peculiar; it is extraordinary; it is beyond fathoming, but what makes it quintessentially intriguing is it has never been before.

This moment is Brand New.

You made it so.

All moments are exactly this way. You have never been here before and there is no sense in requiring yourself to live in the past or relishing in the pain or JOY of a past event. You have not lived through a pain that remained beyond your power to keep it going. Neither have you lavished in a joy which paralyzes the ability to exceed it. Freedom lives beyond your grandest idea and Love lives beyond comparison.

Be Brand New; Take no prisoners; Hold no one captive to your known ideas which are only evidenced in your past.

If you have a Lover

Call it done and start it Over

If you have a Friend

Let them go and begin Again

If you have a Life

Die already and be Born Again

More Than I Ever Did

Look at the face of someone you love

Experience with them the joy that lives through them in your absence.

Let love happen knowing Love is bigger than your grandest ideas

Love offers more than your awareness can allow.

Limit not the one you Love to be constricted by your ignorance.

Learn from Love.

Live beyond your rules and let Life happen

Breathe Again then Love Again

Never make it like it was

Learn what is becoming

I love you more than I ever did

Less than I ever will

God..? Open..? Relationship?

The other day I went on a date with God and let me tell you… It was absolutely amazing. I found out things about myself; there were secrets and unkown treasures inside of me just waiting to be exposed. I began to see how beautiful and wonderful I am. God gave me this overwhelming experience and Xchange of Love. Everyone should know this and really, it was beyond words.

Later on as I was reflecting on what a wonderful Xchange I had, I thought I might give God a call to catch up. Love answered and said this to me.

“I had a wonderful time with you as well. Did you know that I was even able to see Myself and My Soul in you? It’s like you are a ‘Soul-jar’ for Love. However, I can’t spend much more time with you because I have some who are very dear to me who have become very concerned that I might run out of Love if I share too much with you. So they have given me some laws to abide by to guarantee that I not be diminished and also, so that I can be God for them almost exclusively… …So sorry!”

Is it really such a far-fetched idea to date God? I remember hearing about those who have a date or an appointment with destiny. As such, I have an appointment with Love and even an appointment with Life. Where ever there is Love, I want to be there and where I AM, Love should meet me. It would be my desire to have an abiding appointment with Love and Life. It serves as a much more comforting notion than imagining a Life without Love or a Love without Life.

So what is Love? Is Love personified? Someone in our ancestry suggested, “God is Love.” Is this personification of Love the writer’s way of saying, “God is always Godding, and Love is never exhausted or diminished by Loving? Since we have defined and seen Love in so many ways it would seem something as simple as limitless love would not continue to escape us. There simply is no end to Love; it is never exhausted and there simply is no end to God. God is everywhere and can be seen in all things but only by those who have eyes to see. Those of us who don’t have eyes to see can see and perceive only limitedness.

Because we have been conditioned and domesticated to believe that all things have their limits, we’ve accepted that Love is finite and can therefore be depleted. This is why we have the tendency toward possessiveness and we seek then to possess God, possess Love and possess people. We need not possess Love to have Love. Having Love is all that is necessary to extend Love. Possessing Love is what gives the inclination to withhold it and we only withhold what we want to keep for ourselves. So we make rules and laws to guarantee that no one gets it unless we qualify them. If this were Love’s desire, there would be no BeLoved.
It’s not been Love’s desire but it has been the inclination of the many. And if we continue in this current trajectory of possessiveness, Love will be hidden and, we’ll all continue waiting for it. It seems from the looks of our current plight of frustration, anxiety, fear, anger and even depletion, there are yet quite a few of us laying in wait. We do expect and want Love to be limitless when it finds us; we just don’t really anticipate that limitless Love will process through us.

Who, among us would like to stand in the presence of anyone who desires to withhold Love from us? Love is the unconditioned response to the presence of Life to activate goodness. In other words – love always presents itself to all of what is good. And if things seem other than good, Love loves Anyway. It makes it Good.

You are God and you are Love. You may not be all of what Love is but all of what you are can be what Love is. You may not be all of what God is but all of what you are can be what God is. If I am only what God is, then I will be only what Love is. The only other option is that I embrace insanity and become beside myself and dis-appoint myself and lose my date with Love. So if you love only one, you will not love the many. If you love the many, you now know you can love all. If you love all ones, you will Love alone (all-one) and you will Love only and you will Love Anyway.

Love Anyway

If you've Loved once, you've experienced a miracle. If you've loved twice, you'll know loving once pales in comparison. And when you just simply learn to Love, you'll know to stop counting...

Love Anyway

Beloved

It’s a good day; I’m so happy to be in it and more than that, I am happy to be sharing it with you. So, thank You.

Thinking about you, I’m reminded of a song I used to sing when I was a child. “You’ve done so much for me; I cannot tell it all.”Just so you know I am grateful you chose to join this group. This is one thing you’ve done for me and that just scratches the surface. I’m affected by many of your decisions especially the ones I don’t know about. Your life is undoubtedly a gift to me and it is my desire to bring a strong emphasis to this truth and to offer up my life as a gift to you as well.

On my personal Facebook page, I have been posting updates in a series called Love Anyway. I’ve gotten feedback from many of my friends acknowledging how helpful the series has been and I am elated that you have been able to follow as well. I started “Love Anyway” as an encouragement and a personal reflection. I know that my capacity to love is endless – no matter what. Love heals; Love feels; Love gives; Love lives – LOVE COVERS! When I am challenged to not believe this, I am reminded to Love Anyway. I imagined one day if I might ever find myself in a moment when I did not want love to find me. It took very little time for me to come to know I want to be loved always; I want to be loved in all ways. And even when I have totally screwed up, (and I have) I want to be loved ANYWAY. If I want this for myself, isn’t it simply my reasonable service to offer it up? (the age old golden rule)

I post daily with hopes that something I say can serve to enhance and enrich your life. All of my updates are the fruit of my personal meditations unless otherwise noted. I hope you will visit the group often and when you do, give us a comment or ask a question. The Life Xchange is here to aid you in defining and discovering your ability to…

Love without condition.
Live effortlessly
Master your freedom

…and you will BeLoved.

Living 2 Love,
Marquis

“Love is to give from your strength into the life of another in order to help the other optimize their reason for being.”

Yesterday I Died

Tomorrow I will be born again.
I will start from the beginning and change into a new form.
I will transform myself into myself – for today I am not what I am on yesterday.
I was there – in yesterday – but never here – until now.
I am always here in this moment;
This moment has never been except for always.

Today is fully mine to make of it what is good for me – for you – and for us.
What else would I do with such a moment?
It is more than a chance encounter; it is a premeditated appointment.
I have agreed to be here and to be a part of this one perfect day. This day was made by a perfectionist and how could I be anything but that?
Perfect.
How would or could I live beneath my intention?

Today I walk with God; Immanuel tells me this.
We are here together – walking. We agreed yesterday to agree today.
So now we walk and right on time, we do it.
There is no other way – just the One way – today I AM, and today I will die.
I always die today.
Today is tomorrow’s yesterday and yesterday I died, but tomorrow I will live.
I will be born again.

We have agreed and are One.

I Wonder

One day I would love to know the love I give
I would love to see it from the other side
I think I would

Some day soon I hope to know the love I live
Unless I be it, it seems to want to hide
I think I should

One day I would love to feel the love I breathe
I want to breathe this kind of love too
Could my breath come back again

Some day soon I would love to read
What love I wrote when I wrote to you
Permission - for MY day to begin again

I wonder
If you can see what I’m saying
I wonder
If you can feel me praying
I wonder
If these are things you’re thinking
I wonder
When love shows up – is my timing so bad
That it always finds me blinking…
