life is now...

nicole loving earth podcast

Our life is merely a grain of sand upon the wide open shore of consciousness. We are here experiencing this life, together - and for the billions of years the planet has been here, the millions of people that have come before us, do you not think it incredible that we are here together, at this exact moment, sharing this life experience?

Here you are, right now, experiencing life. This moment right here, is life. Reading these words here is now part of the moments of your experience.

Take a breath in and see that your life is not almost here, or soon or some far off future time and space. It is not the past or what happened before.

Life is here, now, in this moment.

No matter whether it is a shining, sparkly, clear day for you, or storm clouds casting shadows and the wind howling, this is life.

Pain or pleasure, this is life.

Sunshine, cloudy days, rainbows, this is life.

Now is life, here and now.

For nothing is guaranteed - tomorrow, the next opportunity, the next time we meet. And so if all I have is now and today, I want to say all that I want to say. I want to feel all the feels deeply, I want to experience and taste life to the fullest. I want to say I love, I’m fond of, and so so grateful for you. I want to tell those I love how grateful I am for them.

I want to linger on the smile created from the kind word. I want to see every colour reflected in the colour of your eyes. I want to feel you exhale after the most perfect thing whispered to you. I want the smile that comes after you’ve made me laugh - this is my favourite smile, the smile created from seeing another’s joy.

The warmth of the sun on the back of my neck that you stare at, wishing it was you warming that soft spot. The underbelly exposed, the most vulnerable parts shown as the softest most gentle love greets you each day. Your eyes open to this love, for the words I love you… too simple. I want to wander peacefully through the childlike garden of your heart, trailing my fingers across every petal on every flower, blooming here within you. You are safe with me. For whatever has happened in the past, whoever you were, whoever I was, do not exist here, now. For we are now, here. And changed from what once was. You can rest now, I am here. I’m sorry it took me so long to find you.

These moments of time when we see them as life, we become the moments. Not the worry or stress, not the challenge or upheaval. These are simply their own moments. I want joy, peace, love… to still be present throughout all else we must travel through. For when the weary traveller cannot take the next step, what carries him forward is his memories of love, of the sweetness, the savouring of life. He takes the next step towards love, he is buoyed by that great love to carry him home.

Not for us to skip through moments of next next next, but to taste every sweetness that is offered in its own delicious time. Softness in the moment, softness with the delivery, softness in the receiving of all that is coming to be. The softest of loves offered up like magic awaiting for the longest time coming, no rush to the delivery, no rush of the experience.

Let my words be the salve, the balm, your heart has been wanting to feel. Let my energy and intention of bringing you here allow you to see how magical this life can be. The words hit different when the energy and intention are known and felt. Under no expectation nor obligation, this is freedom of simply expressing love. The freedom of feeling love. Love is everything.

Imagine with this love, you could bring all of your focus to now. Your unconscious focus on the past, your focus on the future, perhaps it is unconsciousness thought patterns of constant worry or regret, all that energy that focuses on all else except now. Bring all your focus here. And simply say I am here. I am here.

For here, now is pleasure. Here, now is presence, here now, is the no sense of time as the slowness envelops all that it touches as the most simple of gestures bring a level of peace and calm. We are each here for such a short time in the great expanse of consciousness and so to be fully present with what is offered, without expectation, without fear, can we rewrite what has been written of us and begin with a clean slate? To try all things as if for the first time and see how easy it can all be. To savour each first time the second time round. The first touch, the first kiss, the first experience once more, this time savoured, relished, explored… Free to rewrite what once was and create something like never before.

The longing for belonging I have written about earlier this year, this deep need within me to belong. Not from a place of being owned, but simply to be led from my softness by the safety shown. The safe perhaps I have never felt. The safety allows the softness to be revealed. The sacred softness of my love keeps gaining momentum as I dive deeper into the infinite abyss of love. For what I felt was my softest point, has merely scratched the surface. There is such romance in seeing how soft love can be. Can it be softer? And softer still?

There is nothing I want for, nothing I need or require, I hope for nothing, I wish for nothing, I fear nothing, I am free… for love is here for me.

So… I wrote this book titled free… and what has happened in this past month since I released it on amazon is this most amazing thing of all of my softness coming through so, so, softly.

It’s crazy to think I had fear. Fear of how it would be received, how it would be perceived, and my greatest fear was would it change peoples perceptions of me?

And my dear friend turned around, before reading it, and spoke - it’s supposed to.

Every last drop of fear I had melted away. And then once it was read - just accolades and praise. Changed perceptions? For sure. But in such a glorious way I had not expected or thought it could have gone. For our mind is the ultimate prankster, allowing us to believe the worst, instead of perhaps it could be more beautiful than we could ever imagine. To say this book is healing is an understatement. It has given me back my softness in infinite qualities and ways. So this, here, is a thank you. For the man who has everything, all there is to offer is the softest love from me, and thank you. To be witnessed, is such a gift. This softness of mine, a pure loving gift.

The muse is a powerful figure for the creative and so to inspire the art to flow, I have found for me the muse is key to what is expressed. Does the muse choose the creative or the creative choose the muse? I’m not sure but one thing I have realised is that inspiration can come in the unexpected, most surprising of ways. To be inspired to be greater, to be more, to delve deeper, to uncover truths, to explore, to play, to see the absurdity of life and create from this place is pure, letting the horse lead kinda freedom.

And so, now… all I want to do is write, write about love, write the next book, write about consciousness, write all the words of my heart. Forever in debt to the muse, may the words flow x

With so much gooey soft love, Nicole x
