No one can keep you from yours...

One of the many fringe benefits of having sneaky, pushy, and demanding people in your life, Laurel, comes when you realize - usually at the end of a long day, deep in thought, with a pot of warm cherry Kool-Aid by your side - that in spite of all the drama, huffing, and puffing, no one can keep you from yours.
Yeah, baby -
The Universe



I designed you, Laurel. I know.

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Really? ...the greatest???

You're the greatest, Laurel.

You're truly the greatest.
Thank you,
The Universe


You really are, Laurel.

Expect miracles

It's one trick, Laurel, to manifest exactly what you want.

It's another to bring about something even better.
Leave the door open,
The Universe



How? Expect miracles, Laurel. Don't attach to unimportant details. Don't insist "how" your dreams will come true. Prepare to be amazed. Feel the joy when you daydream. Take baby steps in the dark. Every single day physically do something about your dreams. And most important, saunter.

Always bring it home

If you want better from others, Laurel, be better yourself.
Want better,
The Universe


Always bring it home, Laurel, and then watch how others change.

The triple crown

Shaping, shifting, molding, making... what people do when they discover their imagination.

Spinning, curling, dipping, twirling... what people do when they discover their wings.

Beaming, marveling, basking, sparkling... what people do when they discover love.
Basking, Laurel -
The Universe



Laurel, go for all... the triple crown.

In the name of adventure

Life is where one goes, Laurel, to temporarily believe in death, fleetingly forget their power, and briefly have the Dickens scared out of them, voluntarily.

All in the name of adventure.
You're bad,
The Universe




Kind of like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, huh Laurel? Times a billion.

Get busy!


Laurel, you're the only person who knows what's right for you.

The only one.

And if you already know what this is, commit to it. If you don't, commit to nothing.
Only you know,
    The Universe


Whether you commit or not, Laurel, get busy. There are still things to do, doors to knock on, stones to overturn, trees to befriend....

Be thrilled

Isn't it rather mind-numbing, Laurel, that for everyone, always and forever, they have 10,000 more things to be thrilled about, than not?
U R blessed,
The Universe


You're making me look so good, Laurel.

Every thought, every word, and every deed...

What would you think about today, Laurel, if you knew those very thoughts would command leagues in the unseen?
And what would you say today, if you knew each word you chose would send great waves into motion?

And, Laurel, what would you do today, if you knew I'd glean from the slightest of your moves, whether or not you believed in life's magic, so that I could prove you right?

No, no, you don't have to answer! We'll just wait and see...

Holding our breath,
The Universe and friends



Laurel, every thought, every word, and every deed, whether they serve you or not, changes everything.

We can only watch.

For a long time yet, Laurel, there will still be things not to like in time and space... animal testing, war, discrimination, hatred, to name a few. But you realize, don't you, that only while you're there, can you do anything about them?
Oh yeah.

We can only watch.

The Universe


Indeed, Laurel, there are differences only you can make.

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

You can choose

You can choose to go, do, be, and have, and in the end you'll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the "clicks" and "coincidences," and the many happy "accidents," your bounty and good fortune must have been your destiny.

Or, you might choose to wait for a miracle, a savior, or divine intervention, and in the end you'll exclaim, shocked and bewildered, that because of all the synchronicities of your life, all the missed chances and disappointments, and the many unhappy accidents, your lack and misfortune must have been your destiny.

Laurel, do you see what the difference is?

It ain't me,
The Universe


Laurel, destinies are a dime a dozen.

Phone home

Of course, Laurel, the most deceptive of all illusions is very likely space.
You know, that thing between "here" and "there" that would have you see yourself alone, instead of as the bridge between them. That medium between you and the rest of the world that disguises your role in creating it. You know, that veil through which the physical senses must explore your chiseled secrets.

See? Aliens are the least of your worries...

Phone home,
The Universe


As if you had any worries, Laurel.

The magic and unseen...

Yes, Laurel, it's true. There are so many things you don't know about. Things, quite frankly, that you can't know. About the magic, the unseen, and the miraculous logistics that can so swiftly change a life. Yes, it would be enough to daunt even the hardiest of souls.
But, then again, Laurel, one needn't learn the mysteries of the wind, to sail effortlessly around the world, either.

Actually, you got a pretty good deal.

Land ho,
The Universe


Besides, Laurel, isn't it enough to know that in some forgotten time, together we shared these secrets? That even now, our march through eternity continues? And that before you know it, we'll laugh like rolling thunder, again?

Friday, August 6, 2010

All is one. Love is all.

You be me, Laurel.

I be you.

They be us.

We be them.

All is one.

Love is all.
We be bad,
The Universe



All is one, Laurel. Love is all.

Thursday, August 5, 2010

Love them all...

They love you, Laurel.

Everyone.
I do too,
The Universe



And you love them, Laurel....

Prepare for "A"

If someone wants "A" to happen, Laurel, yet they prepare for "B," they will always get "B."
Prepare for "A" -
The Universe


Actually, Laurel, if "B" includes marshmallows and a fireplace, we may have a win-win. But still, if it were me, I'd prepare for "A."

You alone decide

So much love, blazing insights, a wild imagination, and opposable thumbs... Laurel, do you know what this means?!
You're nearing the zenith of your evolutionary curve!

Don't delay!! This is the time to invite fate, tempt passion, and expect miracles by dreaming big and taking nonstop action!!

All things are indeed looking possible and you alone decide how your tomorrows will unfold.

My how you have grown,
The Universe


There's nothing that can stop you! There's no one who's above you! Even time must bend to you.

No one cares what time it is....

Young souls learn to accept responsibility for their actions.

Mature souls learn to accept responsibility for their thoughts.

And old souls, Laurel, learn to accept responsibility for their happiness.
Weeeeeeee,
The Universe


No one cares what time it is in paradise, Laurel, huh?
