life is the flower love is the fuel


"Life is the flower for which love is the honey."___Victor Hugo


We love this quote! In all its simplicity & directness there can actually be a quite a world of wisdom that is genuine & far reaching for all of us on a daily basis.

Yes, but maybe you say, I am too busy for all of that, I have bills to pay, children to track, dinner to cook, a job I have to go to. What does "love" have to do with all of that, plus who these days has the time anyhow?

Well we would like to gently suggest here that it it love that is the actual & real reason that we exist and do all of the rest of it. Love is the fire, the inner impulse, the juice that gives us the spirit from within to meet our lives day to day, week to week, and that is the actual fuel on the soul plane that lights our spirit and gives us the energy and emotions to keep on keeping on.

Yes, these days, it can seem often get so easily & completely "lost in the shuffle." Lost in the shuffle of: the bills, the dishes, the neighbors cat, the car that needs a tune up immediately, the cousin who needs a place to stay, & more (& "the list" for all of us seems to be always so ongoing & endless, right?)

So what about love? Well making time to acknowledge it might be a place to start in a very direct & simple way. Think of maybe 3 things you actually dearly love, but have not made time for in a very long, long time.

Is there an old close friend you could call out of the blue, to meet for coffee or lunch? What about that nearby painting class you always wanted to take but never quite made room for in your busy schedule? How about a romantic dinner or weekend with your partner? How long has that one been "off the list" anyhow?

Love is fine. Love is beauty. Love is needed.

Love, being a gift we are each given here, to enhance our lives.

A beautiful flower it is always blooming. Blooming with its fragrance to light our lives deeply with its gifts of spirit and soul.

And now, this very day, is waiting . . . just for you.
