One Love
One Life, One Presence that is and expresses through all things. One Love that knows only love, expresses only Love
I am one with this Perfect Love, this Perfect Universe. I am one with this Spirit that never blames, that only loves and gives. I am one with this Spirit that only loves, and that sees the Truth and Perfection of Who and What we are. And so this too, is the truth about Sue, That she is unique expression of the One Spirit, that she is the delight of God.
Knowing the truth about Sue, that she is surrounded, and enveloped in the God Essence that expresses as Love, is Love, and knows only Love. I now speak this word about Sue she experiences and expresses her true nature, which is Perfect Love. That She now remembers and embraces who she is, and is able to open her heart and experience this love and that I know that as we give, we so receive. I know that Sue allows herself to express this love and so is ready to receive this Love that already surrounds her. That she already allowing more love, the perfect expression of this love, more of that which her own heart embraces, desires and delights in.
And I am grateful that I know that this is the truth about Sue I give thanks for this word which is now unfolding into realization, and I celebrate the Perfect Love of God that is even now waiting for Sue to accept and allow for the realization of this love which is already present in the heart of God.
And now I release my word into the Law, into the infinite creative activity of the law, knowing that I as know the truth and feel, it is now done. And so it is.

Kahlil Gibran
Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from the same cup. Give one another your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
