There is no time like the present…
Posted by Kathleen Gage on September 23, 2009
There is no time like the present to right a wrong
No time like the present to forgive yourself or another
No time like the present to love as if today is the last
No time like the present to extend the hand of friendship asking nothing in return
No time like the present to simply give to another
No time like the present to be there to hear another in their time of despair, time of fear, time of confusion
There is no time like the present to simply love for the sake of love
A love that expects nothing in return
A love that is purely from the space of the heart
When you are lonely be a friend
When you are hungry find someone to feed
When you are fearful find someone to console
It is in the ability to get outside of our own needs we are able to find the greatest comfort, love and meaning.

Dear Kathleen,
Thank you so much for such a beautiful reflective piece. When our hearts are blown open, the confusion and angst of life seems to dissipate and the truth of who we truly are shines through.
Take good care of YOU!
With a Grateful and Very Full Heart, Catherine
Thank you Kathleen for sharing this insight. Truth is revealed in many forms and especially comes to us when we are quiet and able to hear the voice within us. There is no time BUT the present, so making it count is truly all that matters – thank you again for this beautiful reminder, Nancy
Love it Kathleen. Thank you for sharing! Our hearts are with you right now.
Thank you, Kathleen, for this reminder of simple truths that touch the heart. It is Love, along with simple acts of kindness and compassion, that is the support of all supports in facing adversity and challenge.
Love be with you.

Dear Kathleen,
This is my reflection of your beautiful words.
“It is in the ability to get outside of our own needs, we are able to find the greatest comfort, love and meaning.”
The love in our hearts searches for that which it can feel,
the touch of another, a caring soul.
The love in our hearts grows strong when we gather as community, when we embrace each other’s story.
The love in our hearts is seen by all when we give of ourselves and believe in the impossible!
The love in our hearts that bring us breaths of life, will always keep us searching to help those in need!
Blessings,
Antonia
Thank you for your beautiful post Antonia. Very touching.

When we love others, love exists withing our hearts and fills us as well, when we forgive others the energy of forgiveness permeates our own being and our own cells thereby forgiving ourselves. Love is healing. When we love we heal ourselves as well others. Thank You.
