I believe in Life. It is so beautiful and artful. We need art in Life. It's too stagnating without it. It's been great these past few years, discovering myself here in this new environment close to family and friends. I feel at home with myself finally - evolving, growing, reaching out and eager to express all that I am.

I feel like writing another chapter in the book of my life. Every chapter is about us after all, our faith in Life, our growth potential, our need to express ourselves. Life is about growing and how wonderful is that? It's also about love and how that drives us forward, seeking more affection, enrichment, challenge and beauty. It's about everything we are born to do in order to show ourselves to the world and make that difference the world needs.

The world needs our love, doesn't it? If we don't express love we will die as a species. So we need love desperately. And we need to love ourselves most of all. Childhood traumas and hurts along the road may close us up. But love helps us re-open and our hearts grow forward again.

Fantasies that are out of this world and not in line with our true purpose have to die. They have to succumb to the reality of Life as it expresses itself through us.

We are the vehicles of life, human life for sure. But because we affect all Life, then we are responsible for all life, and pillaging the planet for simple greed is wrong. It is rape! And rape is about power. It's never about sacrifice or true love.

That is the essence of love - it always gives back. It overwhelms! It overtakes. It commands a certain footing. It requires complete surrender. The Great Creator says so in His dreams to us. He informs us about surrender, the value of purpose and the value of all love.

His love for us is infinite. It is beyond bounds. We can't always comprehend this, but we can feel His presence in our lives as He descends upon us and takes root in our soul. Then we are Christed as we were meant to be. The Divine is among us. It awaits its turn and then arises in our hearts. After our complete surrender, it takes hold and drives us along.

A new vehicle, a new love, a new way of being has now been launched. Not vested in the usual security measures, but assured that Life is everlasting and all we could want is provided for.

That's the kind of love this surrender brings. It is just accepting the inevitable, like gays coming out of the closet. That is inevitable because that is who they are.

Well, we are lovers coming out of the closet, the one we built out of our past traumas and the life lessons that initially closed us up. That's where we are at now, uncovering ourselves, surrendering to that pulse and its hold on us. It's like a heartbeat that we recognize and embrace, as if we are embracing ourselves and our Divine nature.

Then we are God, aren't we? The light of all things living and breathing in us. There's an adventure. Come out of your closet now. Smell the world. Express yourself. Express your hidden nature. The world will accept you as soon as you accept yourself.

It's a great journey this one, one I (The Divine) get to take with you at the helm. I get to enjoy all you enjoy. I suffer too, as I have in the past, as I will again in the future. But to taste the wonderful delights that life brings, like children, sunsets, snowflakes, puppies and chocolate makes it all worth while. It's a wonderful life, don't you think? Life is truly beautiful.
