I Want to Break Open with Emotion

Do you ever feel something so deeply that it hurts?
Does your body ache with a longing for more...
a deeper connection
an understanding
a breakthrough?
And you know that if you could just go a little deeper
you would feel it
know it
BE it, fully?
I feel like that.
Just beyond the physicality of the emotion... I know there is more.
There is a sweetness.
My soul is in the sweetness.
I want to break open with emotion... and be in the sweetness.

Seek and you shall find for God is in the Little Things

One night almost two years ago now I was woken from a sound sleep from a voice that said "Seek and you shall find for God is in the Little Things"
"Oh I like that" I thought and closed my sleepy eyes again, tired and wanting to go back to sleep.
"Seek and you shall find for God is in the Little Things" was repeated.
"Yes I like that" I thought again.
"Patty get up and write that down so you don't forget!" the voice instructed me.
So I did what I was told. In a journal next to my bed I wrote "Seek and you shall find for God is in the Little Things" and closed my eyes and fell back asleep.
The next morning I remembered what had happened and looked at my journal unsure if it was a dream or not. Yes I had written those words. It was real.
Within a few weeks I realized I had been given the title to my then unwritten, and still unfinished book series. A book series I knew I was supposed to write but really didn't, and still don't, know exactly what it will ultimately be when finished... 

or if I will ever really finish as it is the retelling of the journey of my soul. 
It is my story and it is your story.
It is the story of the seeker.
But in these past couple of years I have come to understand what Seek and you shall find for God is in the Little Things means to me.
It means that God, Source, the Divine, the I AM Presence, Higher Power... whatever name we want to give --- is PRESENT.
It is in ME and in YOU. 

It is in the animals, the rocks, the trees and the oceans. 
It is in the rain that falls and the wind that blows. 
It is in everything we can see, everything we can't see, and the space in between.
We simply need to SEEK it.
To look through our spiritual eyes and see the magnificence that we are a part of.
To hear with our spiritual ears the voice of God in our head.
To feel with our spiritual bodies the tingles, the warmth, the caresses from the Divine.
To speak with our spiritual voices and acknowledge our truth.
The Oneness is real and we are a part of it.
The Oneness is ALL things.
Seek and you shall find for God is in the Little Things.

I Choose More





I choose more.
More experiences that will allow our souls to grow in love and beauty.
More confidence for each one of us to shine the Divine Light that is our truth.
More trust to embrace being knowing Spirits in our human bodies.
More resonance for each of us to truly feel our power as spiritual beings and use our power for the Greatest Good of All.
And more courage to consciously walk together and through our awareness, intention, and deeds raise the Collective Consciousness of our world.
I choose more for all of us.
