\nOpening your heart to love<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever you need help angels are always there. Sometimes we won\u2019t open our hearts to that help. The sad part is we don\u2019t even realize we aren\u2019t open to the help. Love is such a healing, expansive and healing state of mind that is often so illusive to us\u00a0 humans.<\/p>\n

A poem about love<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kahlil Gibran on Love<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
\nLove possesses not nor would it be possessed;
\nFor love is sufficient unto love.
\nWhen you love you should not say, “God is in my heart,” but rather, “I am in the heart of God.”
\nAnd think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
\nLove has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
\nBut if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
\nTo melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
\nTo know the pain of too much tenderness.
\nTo be wounded by your own understanding of love;
\nAnd to bleed willingly and joyfully.
\nTo wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
\nTo rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy;
\nTo return home at eventide with gratitude;
\nAnd then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.<\/p>\n

Kahlil Gibran on prayer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I cannot teach you how to pray in words. God listens not to your words save when He Himself utters them through your lips.
\nAnd I cannot teach you the prayer of the seas and the forests and the mountains.
\nBut you who are born of the mountains and the forests and the seas can find their prayer in your heart,
\nAnd if you but listen in the stillness of the night you shall hear them saying in silence,
\n“Our God, who art our winged self, it is thy will in us that willeth.
\nIt is thy desire in us that desireth.
\nIt is thy urge in us that would turn our nights, which are thine, into days which are thine also.
\nWe cannot ask thee for aught, for thou knowest our needs before they are born in us:
\nThou art our need; and in giving us more of thyself thou givest us all.”<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n
