Love Is Still All There Is

Today, love is atill all there is. I woke up with a start, in a car in which my seat was moving back and my feet were moving farther from the pedals and the road in front of me was becoming steeper downhill around curves while I was losing control of the car. I started laughing as I awoke. All right, all right, I get it--it's time to waken and get out of bed and on with my day! It's funny how my dreams have to get really scary to wake me up to getting on with living real life!

Today my two tasks were to roast a turkey for the church Thanksgiving lunch tomorrow and sort out my storage cupboard down by the carport so there will be room for the two bikes coming into our family tomorrow. I managed to get both tasks done by dinner time. Now I have the evening to play with whatever moves me.

Love was present in every task. It shone and energized me so I was able to work continuously, presenting a determined forward moving extension of myself through the day. Pink was singing "Let's Get That Party Started" in my head. She's been there the past couple of days, keeping me moving forward with energy!

Letting go of the things in my storage cupboard is bittersweet. It's the last of my possessions since the move from our three-bedroom house into this one-bedroom apartment. I kissed some things goodbye and identified them for the next church yard sale. I am storing my larger paintings in my church office till I can redo them for sale. I tossed some things into a bag to go on the next Goodwill truck I pass. I unpacked some favorite things and placed them lovingly in my office, to arrange artistically as I redo my office decor more altarish.

I love waterlilies as a symbol of our soul/spirit. I treasure my Japanese green waterlily vaee and candleholders. I treasure my silver-plated waterlily candleholders, which I fill with eucalyptus and pumpkin seeds and plastic roses in shades of purples with lifelike-looking water droplets on them. My paintings are of waterlilies in shining rainbow colors and golds.

I have just made a cover for my client chair with a joyous batik that looks like fields of stars and planets, so the people who visit me are reminded that they sit in the arms of the universe.

I love that in today's letting go, I am creating the space in which tomorrow will bring its yet unimagined wonders. Love is all there is.

Blessed be,
Zing
