Detail of Debra Clemente painting "Magical Forest" Without questions there can be no answers. Question everything. There is no such thing as too many questions. It is wrong to tell a child that they ask too many questions. Instead tell them you don’t know all the answers. Let them continue to ask and allow them to find the answers to life themselves. Allow the child to be curious. Curiosity may have killed the cat but lack of curiosity kills the ability to know and grow as a human and as a free spirit. Be a free spirit. Become a free spirit. Ask the questions you yearn to know. Then listen in with awe and wonder. The answers are there for those whom are aware.

Why so sad? Why so disheartened? Why do you allow your mood to swing so? First it’s high, then low. When you ride the waves of life this is how you live. When you look to the outside, the outer, you ride the waves, the highs and lows clinging to the edge of your small boat for your life. Your knuckles are white with the terror of your tight grip. Yet what are you really holding on to? The boat, which you are never really sure if it will sink or float? How about floating gently through life with Me? Flowing majestically on the high seas, riding the waves with confidence for the power which is the wave is the power you are, the power you work with in each moment, a power which does not slam against you but flows through you.
When you truly live through Me your life will reflect the peace and power which is the ocean. The depth and breadth of the ocean will be the all you are. You will not fear drowning. As you are the all of the ocean, you cannot drown in your self. One drop of water does not fear the cup of water. It is glad to be home with family. And added to the cup it is no longer separate, no longer alone but one with the all, no separation, none. You are that drop now. You are that drop of water in the ocean. You are the wave. You are the water in the depths of the sea. You are who you are but you are no more separated from any other than one drop of water in the ocean is from any other. Together all is one. When you look at your reflection you only see yourself but you are not looking properly. For as you look about you are as well seeing yourself. When a wave slams into the beach and splashes water into the air, a little drop of water sees himself for a brief instant as an individual drop, a single piece of water, a separate identity from the all. From the time of its birth (the big splash) up to its death (its return to the all of the ocean) seems an eternity to the little drop. He is suddenly aware of the world and sees himself as alone and separate. This is how you see yourself as alone and separate from the all of life that is. And each of you, just like the little drop of water will just as naturally and effortlessly return to the One that is, just as the splashed up drop of water. Even as that drop felt separate, he was still all the One was. He was still of the same substance, he just did not recognize it. Are you understanding this, dear ones? Do not fear the ocean. Do not fear life. Ride the waves in confidence that you cannot be swallowed up by or up heaved by any perceived turbulence. For all such turbulence is of your mind. Your heart knows better for your heart knows Me. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente "Aspen Drive" an oil painting by Debra Clemente There are many paths to the same mountain top, the apex of life. How can this be you ask? From many directions you came all calling My Name. I answer to all for all is “One.” There is no other. It has been this way since time began. Scattered you are across the land I still hold each one of you in my hand. Come as you are from where you are. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente Detail from "Colorado Color" an oil painting by Debra Clemente Don’t limit your good to what you know. Rethink possible. Know you can know more and do more than you now know. Know more is possible now than you now know. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente "Rushing Waters" an oil painting by Debra Clemente Do not hold back. Do not impede the flow of life within your own. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente Detail from "Iris Walk" an oil painting by Debra Clemente People never fall from Grace. They fall from their acknowledgement of Grace. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente Keep looking. Keep seeking. Keep desiring to show My “Love” for that is the “Truth” of Me. Know more. Know more Love. Little by little I found my way. Growing closer to God within each day. When each is ready to hear, I Am here. Be real. These are messages for my path, but when I read messages received by others I recognize they are my messages too. All worth sharing. We all get what we deserve. That’s hard to hear. Growth factor. Eye to eye faithful servant. There are no words in “the ethers” man translates his knowings into his own language. Keep it fresh. Movie remakes. Songs rerecorded. Listen anew, self-help, Bible, Jesus, there’s more to it. It’s like the different languages. Outer space exploration, why don’t you start investing more time to “inner space” exploration? I have my ways. I get knowings. Truth is revealed to me. Make something from nothing, how can this be? The “creative process.” I ask a question and with the next breath, I have the answer. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente "Quiet Times" by Debra Clemente Prayer does not change God’s mind of how to treat you. Prayer changes your mind of how you accept the Love of God, Divine Love, which is the true and complete essence of God within and around you. Excerpted from the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by Debra Clemente Detail of "A Perfect Ending" oil painting by Debra Clemente For the same amount of energy it takes to point and blame, good works can be done in My Name. It’s easy to see fault and lay blame. Blessed is the one whom sees beauty no one else can claim. From the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by artist/author Debra Clemente Detail of Clemente painting "Golden Glow" I speak of holding you in my hand but I have no arms or hands as you know yourself. These are only words your mind uses to begin to grasp how close I keep you to me. From the book Listen Hear, A Divine Love Story by artist/author Debra Clemente. |
