#2210 A Sea To Sail On
YOUR LIFE PASSES before you like the moon, like traffic
in streets, like the winds, like the rustling of leaves. Life passes,
beloveds. Life in the world is like a phase of the moon. Some of the
sweetness of relative life is because of its temporariness. This is
your playing field. The world is your arena. In your body, you, who
are eternal, are here for a brief moment. You hardly have a chance
to get started, it seems, and then the curtain sets. The curtain is
up now.
Enjoy the preciousness of relative life. Savor it. Make it enjoyable
for all. Whereas relative life is a movie or video game, it is also
a gift from the Great Giver. It is not a paltry gift. Life is great
givingness from Me to you. I have thrown the ball of life to you,
and you have caught it. Turn that ball over in your hands. Clasp it
to your heart. Then throw it like a discus to the galaxies and beyond.
Throw it further than the eye can see. Throw it with all your heart
behind it. Throw it out of the playing field, beloveds. See it soar
over the walls of life on Earth.
Great love was given to you, and great love is yours to give. The
window is open for a short time. Give that love as vastly as you can,
and you can vastly. You have all the love in the world to give. It
is yours to give. All that is yours is to give. Give as if there were
no tomorrow, for indeed there is not. There is only today, this brief
passage of life scrolling over the horizon. It is your life, yet it
is My life as well. I gave you this great gift of existence. Know
what has been given to you. Life has been given to you. A huge outlay
of life has been given to you to do with as you will. Your will is
great, beloveds. It too is a great gift. Your will is a great decider,
a great prognosticator of life. Your will has great power. Use it.
You are not merely a rider in a raft down the river. Surely you ride
on the raft that flows down the river, and, yet, just as surely, you
steer the raft. You set foot on it. Beautiful banks of the river also
surround you. Great love cushions your ride. You are in the mainstream
of love. Love rides the waves of love. The waves of love ride in you.
What is your life for if not to love? You will reap love. You have
reaped it. Yet you are here on Earth to reveal it. Love has been revealed
to you. You are designated as a revealer of love. Show love.
What was My son Christ but a revealer of love? And Whose love did
he reveal but Mine? He knew the Source of all love. It was not his,
yet it was his to give. And so are you My deliverer on Earth. Wait
not for someone to deliver you. You are the designated deliverer.
Love is yours to give.
There is a preponderance of attention given to that which appears
not as love but as discord. Unless you love discord, place your attention
on the accord of love.
Look not to improve another. Look only to reveal love and so set all
the beating hearts on Earth free to reveal the love given to them.
Love is not so much a topic of discussion as it is a sea to sail on.

#2209 Consider How Plants Grow...
YOU ARE LIKE SWANS gliding along on the serene waters.
You are also like whales who dive deep and then leap up to the surface.
Or like a pelican who dives and comes up, and dives again. The waves
are lapping.
You do not want to merely skim the surface, not forever. Nothing wrong
with the surface, only that it is surface, and surface, no matter
how beautiful, goes only so far. There are the depths of life to engage
in as well. They are laid before you. They are yours.
Dig deeper into the well, beloved. Pull up the treasures from the
bottom of the ocean and bring them up to the surface for all to behold.
Make the waves splash and sparkle. You will pull up diamonds for all
to see. You will be like a moon shining and shining.
Life on the surface is like taking a walk with your hands in your
pockets. To dive deep, your hands are outstretched, and you are welcoming
the bounties of life. Admit life. Open your heart bravely. Sweep life
into your arms.
Alternate between the surface and depths. Each has its reason. Each
has its season. Each rushes to you.
Consider the depths the bank, and the surface the mall where you spend
the wealth. As you dip into the treasury, the surface becomes the
passing out of the notes. Beloveds, have awareness that there is a
depth, an unexplored land which calls to you and will not stop, and
where you long to go, the depths that stir your depths. Are not the
depths the heights?
Transplanted from the depths of the sea, yet you are equipped to live
on land because of the very depths. Let the depths be the pure water
you drink without cease.
Consider how plants grow. They grow from the depths up. Their basis
is in the soil, their growth, the leaves and flowers. 
Flowers
grow from somewhere, and so does the life you live. Your roots are
in the depths, and upward you grow. From the depths you grow to the
heights. Inseparable are they.
You are ever moving upward to claim the day. You are riding an escalator
that leads you to the galaxies. The moon, reflecting the sun, sheds
its light on you. The sun and the moon deliver themselves to you in
one stroke, and now you deliver the sun and the moon to the universe.
By the might of their light, you deliver them. Your light comes from
somewhere, beloveds.
From the depths of your heart, you are equipped to explore the full
range of life. All doors are open to you. The main entrance is found
in the depths, beloved. Drink deeply. You have focused elsewhere.
Your eyes can see near and see far in life, and so I abjure you to
be like your eyes, for do not your eyes reflect the stars in Heaven?
Come to the Highest. It is all around you. Come to My Court where
love expands and expands you. Come to the field of infinite possibilities.
Facts, beloved, are not enough for you. You who would be realistic
will do well to look up and see beyond facts. It is necessary to look
beyond appearances. Look into the eyes of Truth. Worshipping realism,
you may close doors that are opening for you. Open them wide.
Just as there are phases of the moon, so are there phases in your
life. The sun moves, and so must your sights. In life, be as you are
when you go to a restaurant. You want the appetizer and entrée
and side dishes and desserts. In life, would you want less? Have you
not sometimes been wanting to escape life rather than eat its fruits?
From the beautiful soil, you can cast any seeds from which all kinds
of plants grow; yet, when it comes to your life, by some sense of
unreasoning reason, you might narrow it, as if closing a book were
the way to read it.
Accept adventure. Advance into new territories. Let the rain fall
on your face. Get your feet wet. Travel down new roads. Use a different
gait. Knock on doors. Open them, and see what you see. Like a many-petaled
flower, grow toward the Sun. Lay yourself bare before it. Absorb its
light.
This is life you have enrolled in. Dig deep and live high. Garner
a greater circumference. Enjoy the known relative world and the Vastness
of the Unknown. Continue forth. Explore all horizons. Deny yourself
nothing. Get out and play. Swim and dive. Swim and dive.

to God - let alone dreamed that a time would come when she would hang
on to every word of the Best Storyteller of All. Not until after forty-two
years of wandering did she become conscious of a desire for God. Then
it was another twenty more before she began to hear a whisper. Now,
looking back, she can see a tiny hint here or there but nothing to
prepare her for what was to come.
