The breath gets shorter or more precisely the need for breath becomes less the further I journey from where I began, which has no beginning, to an end, no closer, which has no ending. 

Yes; the less fear I feel, the less air I need take, in the quick panicked breaths needed to support my once ever panicked state, always on the edge of fight or flight.

Into bliss I rise, ascending; calm quiet breaths, now moving in a ballet of stillness and choreographed to a symphony of silence, soothed in LOVE's divine embrace.

Just LOVE...

It is bad enough that we fear the death of the illusion of our body more than we value the reality of life and LOVE, but to fear losing or never having the illusions of wealth and control more than we value reality of life and LOVE is a madness more than my mind and spirit can comprehend.

This is the thought that tortures and torments the Soul's of even Angels...

"The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive." ~ Albert Einstein

Reason, to BE; letting the wisdom of LOVE's empathy be the North Star that guides our spirits, lost in fear's dark and troubled waters home... it is still not too late for man to reach the white sands beach of peace, freedom and abundance.

Funny thought; if we feared going to sleep the way that we fear death, we would die from lack of sleep. Perhaps in our fear of death we die from lack of LOVE?

Only by embracing the life renewing inevitability of death will we ever be able to live...

Just LOVE...

If your principle is only profit then you are the King Of Dirt, whose vaunted vaults are filled with nothing, but the decay and dust of molded cash.

The Lords Of Light; all are Kings, but no title is recognized; the principle of the open space; freedom through LOVE. 

Released are the snow white doves; peace that mirrors God's perfection; oneness, resurrection, our boundless connection.

Just LOVE...

The longer your mind's attention, intention lingers in fear's shadow the more dense the shadow becomes until the shadow appears real, it is not until you step in the light of LOVE illuminating Infinity, that you see the shadow for what it is; the you that was not you, but the shadow of you cast in LOVE's light.

Foods From LOVE's Thoughts:

From fear we must flee and to love we must fly, for it is our duty for LOVE, to see that never too early a child may die.

Just LOVE...

Fear informs us life's process is war with chaos; LOVE informs us life's process is creation in order.

Just LOVE...

Gray misty highway
Scenery nondescript
Straight line faint yellow dots
Guiding off into the distance
Beyond the horizon
In both directions
Traveled, travel, the travelers,
Only with loves intention
Is creation revealed...

Just LOVE...

"To live in the world of creation—to get into it and stay in it–to frequent it and haunt it…to think intently and fruitfully, to woo combinations and inspirations into being by a depth and continuity of attention and meditation–this is the only thing." ~ Henry James

Be happy before you have a reason to be happy and you will always have a reason to be happy.

Be in LOVE before you find the one you LOVE and you will always be in LOVE with everyone.

It is only in making a decision before the moment you know must decide; the moment before in which we put faith in our Souls to determine and guide us through our destiny, wandering eternally through Infinity; that moment of instinct making decision, is the moment our only real control over the illusion can be exerted.

Only by remembering what we are meant to be before, can we begin to forget what we have been again...

Just LOVE...

"Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside." ~ Honore de Balzac

If you believe as an individual acts that are not of LOVE, acts that intentionally harm, neglect or are not beneficial to others brings about a consequence of Karma; then wouldn't it make sense that a collective such as a species would also from acts without empathy or conscience bring upon itself the same consequences of Karma?

Now look around our world at how we abuse one another, how we rape nature, how we heap disdain upon all that is life and ask yourself what consequence of Karma do you think we are deserving of?

I believe that there have not been enough mirrors ever made for us break to count the years times seven for us measure the amount of good that must be done to balance our Karmic scale. Although it has been said that a true intention to LOVE, brings instant Karmic balance to the intender and or intenders.

How long before with LOVE will it be that we intend to balance our scales of Karma?

Just LOVE...

"The liar’s punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else." ~ George Bernard Shaw

What would change if this is all and when I die to dust I turn? 

Nothing... because LOVE's trust would still demand that I do what I must, to make this one NOW beaming, this one MOMENT gleaming, shine brighter than the brightest Sun.

LOVE's light illuminating life; in its infinite rays destination unavailable; I am, we are forever.

And should I have chosen the black solitude of absolute fear, it will have been as death draws near, as if I was, we were never here; switched to off.

No other imagined truth, once known, can reason not, the truth of love.

Just LOVE...

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures." ~ William Shakespeare

I hear the voice, but the voice that speaks does hear, but the sound of fear echoing in the hollow of the head; anything but dead, anything but dead. 

Darkness of death imagined shadow falls, blocked from the sounds of life. The sight of LOVE's light penetrates not the walls of the mind's zones of madness comfort; anything but the unknown. Even the burning fever dreams of hell, better than the unknown.

To dust to turn we would embrace, rather than truth of Infinity roam; home, the infinite wander, wandering is home; Nomadic Angels all one, never alone...

Just LOVE...

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the people to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." ~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery

No amount of liquor, sex, drugs or accumulated things can numb away the pain of a world gone mad; an illusion mutated tragic and sad. 

Only LOVE can kill the pain, the fear; return the sane. 

And if LOVE is not remembered and embraced; insane, fear and pain will travel with you beyond death to experience next; upon the infinite plain. 

The hell without LOVE we make, is the Heaven with LOVE we forsake; LOVE waiting, waiting, always waiting for LOVER's lost to take; LOVE lost waits forever, but never in vain.

Just LOVE....

"Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

While driving my friends beautiful Highland Lynx to the set of a new television pilot he was shooting, petting its pelt soft fur, suddenly in that moment a wave of pure emotion swept over me that we should be sensing all things as God would sense all things; with fullest attention and entirety of being. In that moment I felt every strand of the beautiful creature's fur, caressing the fine lines, each nerve ending in my slowly moving fingertips; the world exploding in sights, scents , tastes and sounds. And in that moment I remembered the experience our Souls intend for us to have in body; for God. This what came to me in that moment of sensuous, sensual, sensational, drowning.

Your eyes, your ears, your tongue, your nose, your fingers are the gifts God gave for us to sense and perceive of her creation. How we interpret those sensations is our freewill. Your instinct, your six sense, is your Soul trying to guide the body back to its intention of experiencing all of God's creation as she would, when freewill of the flesh wanders astray, perverting this divine shared experience of sharing God's creation with God.

We are, all is God's senses experiencing her creation for her.

Ask yourself are you experiencing all that is Life, all that is God's creation, as she would?

Do you see perfectly the sublime beauty in everything?
Do you hear clearly the resounding joy in everything?
Do you smell deeply the sweetest fragrance in everything?
Do you taste savorily the mouth watering succulence in everything?
Do you touch gently the infinitude of texture in everything?

Do feel LOVE for everything the way that God would?

If not that longing aching you feel as your heart, knotted in the pit of your stomach, is the instinct of your Soul calling you to remember the way.

God created so that she may share all the LOVE that she is...

Just LOVE...
Kip Baldwin

The only thing that is real, is that which cannot be added to or subtracted from;
all else is manifestation of "the consciousnesses" abstract imagination, organizing infinite information into all creation: LOVE, God, Infinity; all ONE, all absolute; the only real...

We create nothing, our Souls simply choose with intention and hopefully always LOVE, the experiences from the never ending array of illusions that already are; we wish to have...

“The Waking"

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.”

~ Theodore Roethke

I choose, I follow, as I am lamb, LOVE is Mary, Infinity is school, God is teacher, eternity one day...

“Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.” ~ Deepak Chopra

To say you LOVE but not share the LOVE you say, is indeed not LOVE in deed, but the mouth merely echoing a hollow word, in the soulless cavern, of an empty heart.

Once the Soul ignites the human heart with LOVE it quickly rages to an infinite inferno; the flesh no longer able to contain, LOVE's flames leap from heart to heart its sole desire this fire of LOVE that burns in the Soul, is to be shared.

Just LOVE...

The wind blows kindly, rustling lush leaves
Carrying away quietly, afternoon soothing heat
Blessed upon me freely, beautiful giving Sun 
Rays piercing gently, blue infinite sky
Smell of green sweetly, warm tender grass...

Houses, cars, people, fade into beyond
Standing alone in sublime, struck by awe
God's magnificent, divine, glorious creation 
Embracing, joyously, blissfully remembering; 
Eternally, I LOVE you so...

Just LOVE...
Kip Baldwin

I screamed out to Heaven, by all that is Holy what demon foulest raped and devoured the Soul of LOVE gifted man by God and left behind in its place this savage. hollow, fearful beast; whose insatiable lust and unquenchable thirst for blood serves and preserves Life's process not, but feeds and appeases only the realm of the deceased. Came an answer from Heaven on high, from a silent voice most Holy, "My child of light and LOVE, man's only demon in man."

Dawn upon fear and death
