Welcome

The way I experienced love from my true self that I call my Beloved is as an Energy or Presence that is accepting of whatever feelings, thoughts or beliefs I have. This is a love that loves no matter what.

As my Beloved, I am the Cause, guide and friend. All I need to do is be the Cause and let Love live be me.

The purpose of this blog is to record and share experiences and insights that have inspired me to trust and be myself. They are not meant to instruct readers in any way.

For ease of reference, I shall list articles in alphabetical order.

Cool!

After I left the library yesterday, I had a voice in my head asking me if he could call. I presumed it was from a friend. I told him to call at a certain time in the evening. I then went to catch the bus into town. As the bus was driving by an Internet shop, I had this strong urge to get off the bus so I did.

I went to the Internet shop to check my emails. Sure enough, there was an email from the friend I had in mind asking me if I wanted to speak with him tonight. I sent him an email and suggested a time he could call.

After I'd sent a few emails I had a strong urge to leave even though I still had a few minutes credit remaining. Outside I noticed my bus on the other side but it couldn't get through because a car was blocking its path. This gave me an opportunity to make a dash for the nearest bus stop. As soon as I approached the stop, the car moved out of the bus's way.

Cool! I love it when everything works out perfectly.

Postscript

In Love is Forever I wrote about how I was inspired to take a walk instead of getting the bus and noticed some flowers had been placed on the road barrier in memory of someone who had died recently in a car accident. I felt the deceased's presence right there with me and we had a conversation.

When I went by on a bus the next day, I couldn't see the flowers. I thought that maybe the bus had gone too fast and I had missed them. This morning I took a walk and went by the scene and saw that the flowers had been removed.

Now that's very interesting because from what I've observed, people usually leave flowers on the barrier until they have withered away.

If I hadn't been inspired to walk that day, I wouldn't have noticed those flowers. And it was when I saw the flowers that I remembered the deceased whose presence I felt and I was able to communicate with.

I wonder if it was the deceased who had inspired me to walk that day?

I'm glad I was able to help a friend anyway.

Life is a Game, Let's Have Fun

In ev`ry job that must be done, there is an element of fun.
You find the fun and snap the job`s a game.
And ev`ry task you undertake becomes a pice of cake.
A lark! A spree! It`s verry clear to see.

That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
Medicine go dow-wown, medicine go down.
Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down
in the most delightful way. A Spoonful of Sugar lyrics from Mary Poppins

In an email exchange yesterday, a friend wrote:

"Don't you sometimes wonder if it would just be easier to go back to your 'real' family, like your friend from the fatal accident last week. I mean, really, who needs all this. If this is supposed to be a 'game', I don't see much fun being had by many of the players."

(The accident my friend is referring to here is discussed in Love is Forever).

Later I thought of a friend I once went out with. In the evening while I was watching a programme on television, I noticed one of the actors looked like the same friend. Last night I had a dream where I bumped into this friend. I told him I'd been thinking about him and have missed him. He said he'd also missed me. We arranged to meet up later. He asked me what I'd been up to. I said I'd been seeing someone but it wasn't working out. Then I woke up.

The dream had been very vivid and real. I wondered what it meant. I thought about my feelings for this friend. I liked being with him and had a lot of fun with him. There was a time when I even had a crush on him, but it didn't feel right being with him. Could it be we're about to rekindle our relationship? Even though on paper he seemed compatible, I still couldn't imagine myself being with him. So, if the dream isn't about rekindling our relationship then there must be another message. I had the thought that he was there to remind me to be true to myself.

This morning as I was waiting at the bus station, a bus drove by with an advert for an online casino. It's slogan was "let's play." Aha, that's what my friend in the dream represents, playfulness. In fact it was his playful attitude that attracted me to him. I always enjoyed having a good banter with him. He had been in my dream to remind me that I was getting too serious. I must remember that life's a game and my nature is playfulness.

I believe all aspects of life is a game including falling in love and being in relationships, having a career, following a "path" etc. The moment I put out the intention, someone appears to play that game. The problem is when I forget it's a game and start taking it all too seriously, it stops being fun. Ironically, there's a point in people's relationships when they start "being serious" and start thinking of long term commitments, marriage, mortgage etc. Instead of enjoying each other like you used to, everything becomes oh so serious. Those who end up having kids have the opportunity to play because children are good reminders that life is meant to be fun until the kids grow up to be serious just like their parents.

I have nothing against people getting married and having kids, I just believe in making all aspects of life fun.

I reckon I've been getting way too serious about love and relationships. It's time for me to be my playful self and enjoy love in whatever way it unfolds.

Thank you friends for your timely reminders.

I am playfulness; I am fun.

Making Someone's Day

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,
One girl you're ev'rything to.

Fame if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her, build your world around her.

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy,
And you will be happy, too. Make Someone Happy, Jimmy Durante

On the way to the bus stop this morning I bumped into an elderly lady that lives in the neighbourhood. She is a widow who lives alone and has no kids. Even though she's often in pain, I see her out and about first thing running errands for her elderly neighbours. She even gets my mother's newspaper.

I gave her a hug. I asked her how she was feeling after her recent operation and she said a lot better. She said she was due to see her doctor shortly. She apologised for not getting me a belated birthday card as she had promised. I told her not to worry about it and thanked her for her kind thoughts. Before I left she said: "You always cheer me up, you do."

That really made my day.

I also came across the young Polish guy who cleans our neighbourhood. I told him I'd been wondering how he is. We chatted for a few minutes. My friend has such a lovely smile which brightened my day.

I have found that sometimes the quickest antidote to feeling down is to make someone else happy.

Play Mates are Everywhere

As I was waiting for the bus, I locked gaze with this boy who was leaning against a lamp post. He hid his face behind the post and then reappeared on the other side. Our gazes locked again and we both smiled. We started playing peekaboo. His younger brother wanted to join in so I played with both of them until their bus arrived.

That's what I love about kids. You don't see them getting all worked up because their parents are too busy to play. There's always someone in that moment they can play with.

I feel the same way.

Love to all my play mates.
