In the Photograph © November 2011 Laura Hamill
In the photograph in my mind I see a bridge of lights and colors. These are the gentle weavings of my
energy – these strands of me that are pulled each moment to build bridges and make new paths for me.
Sometimes the strands of my light lead nowhere in particular – just to a place to sit and wait. Sometimes
the strands connect with other strands – loose particles that I wrap together – like beads on a string to
make a pretty next path. Sometimes my strands weave with the strands of others to make a strong
bridge for us to have and share an experience in this time. These are all places that we were meant to go
on this journey.
My strands make patterns in the Universe and I don’t know where they lead. I know they are always ok.
If I have to untangle a strand of mine that has gone astray that is ok too because these are strands that
make me stronger for the next bridge I am building.
I see these bridges of light as jeweled colors and crystal clear and strong as a rock but also soft like
moving waters that can flex and flow and bend around obstacles because for some reason I know when
I make room for the obstacles there is always something more beautiful in the path. The obstacle really
acts like a direction finder to keep me building my strands of light in the right direction.
The bridge connects to other bridges and all are woven into a great and beautiful roadway and
sometimes just a view space and sometimes a big cliff – it is up to me to keep threading the strands that
I see – weaving them into new spaces and experiences – like a great treasure map. Following one
bridge then hopping off to another then stopping and resting for a bit and sometimes I look back at the
weaving but most days now I don’t because I don’t have to go backwards. I can move on knowing
whatever I did before was ok and it was all for some gigantic cosmic weaving that is bigger than the
Universe and as gentle as a puff of air. The weaving is the all of the all and everything of my life. The
weaving is all my experiences and include my tears, my laughter, my friends and my family, the words I
speak and write and the air I breathe and the thoughts I think.
Does this make the bridges some great fantasyland, yes, indeed!
When I see the bridges all together as one bridge they are the most intricate and beautiful embroideries I
have ever seen. Glistening threads of light in all colors making new patterns and ways for each of us.
When we try and break the threads apart and go off alone, it takes so much more time to make a new
bridge and sometimes it doesn’t go anywhere at all. Some weaving together, or at least weaving for the
altogether is the way to make the strands strong. This makes the bridges of tomorrows and connects
the light inside of all of us to the center of the Universe.
A photograph starts in my mind’s eye of the places and beings and guides and lords of light that I dream
about.
I carry the dream into my thoughts. My thoughts start weaving the bridge of the light that is inside of me
and connects me to everything that I Am.
That is the place where all bridges lead to the inside of everything – the seed that starts us all.
In that sacred space is the spark of the undying light that builds all the bridges we could ever need on the
journey of experience. In that space of creation we are the art and the makers of the art all at the same
time. How great is that? We can erase, add more to connect to other creations and still start over with
each new day – like a beautiful circle of creation forever making new places.
A photograph is also a memory of things that were a part of the illusion at one time – but just like the way
a photograph fades and disappears so do our thoughts of what it was like when the photograph was
made. Maybe that is the way we are supposed to guide ourselves back into the Now. Because if we
cannot remember who is in the photograph and we see a picture fading away it no longer matters to
what we have become.
It is where we stand - in the Now where our power lies. In the now place are all the tools we need. In the
now place are also the people we need. So I feel a sense of relief at stating that because I let go of the old
photograph. I have a great happiness knowing places I travel now are just right for these times for me.
That the experience I am having is perfectly ok and how it turns out does not really become a concern
because in the place of letting go I know it always turns out just right.
The bridges of my thoughts on this are soft and gentle now – like water as I said before. They expand to
hold more when they need to. They contract when it is just a foot path for me to experience and I do not
feel the coming and going and the expanding and contracting are bad or good – they just are a part of the
experience.
So I am weaving and building and sitting still. I am living inside of this experience and I am living
everywhere all at the same time. I am like the photograph too. Parts of me have faded and become
forgotten because I don’t need them any longer. Parts of me are like a beautiful and full color photograph
– fresh from the printer. And parts of me are still developing – just coming into focus.
Love and more love

Growing Seeds © Laura Hamill 2011
Seeds are the places we grow from and can take on any form. Seeds can be an idea; the thought of
something you want to experience. They can also be the foundation for an entirely new world.
Let’s begin growing seeds for our new world by planting new thoughts. As we move to a higher vibration
of beingness – so must our thoughts to make the places we live - making new places to exist creating in
love.
You begin by preparing the place you plant the seeds. This place is built with love and trust. Like the
way the farmer prepares the rows of soil to accept the seeds. With love you acknowledge that a
beautiful creation is going to be born. With trust you know that the outcome (whatever it is) will be whole
and perfect – and in that trust you release all thoughts of the outcome to Divine Inspiration. That is the
best part of creating. In that trust you know (you have seen it before) that what will grow with that seed
you planted will be so much more beautiful than what your mind could have fashioned. You have now
brought your seed (your idea) into the Light of Creation.
The Universe – the Great Mother - knows that there is a new seed to grow. This is where you sit with
the love and trust and begin to nurture your seed. This is where the effort of intention begins. You are
standing in a place of love – looking at this new seed and it needs your touch – your thoughts - your
energy. This may require only the act of acknowledgement – that the seed is waking and forming. It
may require you to actually touch it – put some physical effort into the waking the same way my fingers
touch the keyboard to write or hold the brush to paint. Your seed may require you to meditate with it – in
some other space, beyond this dimension and with your heart and soul you will let energy flow between
you and your seed. You will know because in the act of Divine Trust – where you prepared the field – the
answers will be there for you.
Now you feel the beauty of creation. Now you recognize the seed is beginning to sprout. You are
starting to see signs and hear words around you about this seed because the Universe is tapping you on
the shoulder, letting you know that the seed is growing. When you see and hear the signs of this life
please say thank you. The act of gratitude is like water to a plant. It is the pure exchange of energy
between your soul and the Universe of All That Is. Consider the magic of that moment. You planted the
seed. You are making something beautiful with the Universe and the Universe thanks you by bringing it
into reality. You thank the Universe for helping you in the act of Divine Creation. This is the simply
elegant pattern of life.
As you sit during the growing time, other events are continuing as planned. Your experiences are
continuing as planned. Well, life goes on and you still feel that magic of something new coming your
way. This is a sense beyond patience. It is the pure joy of knowing something is being born that was
made with love and understanding of the way things are made. As your experience continues you may
notice there is a shifting of patterns – making space for this new seed. Making room in the elegant
pattern of your life for this wonderful creation to fit with complete ease and Grace. You allow the shifts
and recognize they are like a path in the landscape leading you to a new garden. You are walking on
that path with love in your heart and knowing that All Is Well and you remember the seed you planted in
the Universe.
The seed of your idea is nearly complete now. You have made the space in your life for this new
experience. You have learned a new way of being. You are creating a new world for yourself with that
new idea and by doing that you are a creating a new world for All That Is.
The seed is grown. The idea is complete and it shows up as if by magic. It will feel like you just blinked
and it was there. There is no sense of time in this creation process. It all happens in the same moment.
The idea of the seed and the fruit of your idea are held altogether in your hands at once. That is the pure
energy of now. In the single space there is you, the idea, the seed, the love and the Universe as one and
complete. In the fraction of that now moment in your living and beingness you have co-created with All
That Is.
Thank you, I love you.
Love and more love.

Wake Up – September 4, 2011
Wake Up! Rub the sleep from your heart. Embrace everything around you with arms held wide open.
Wake Up! Stick your head back in the clouds where they belong. Lie on your back on sweet Mother
Earth and watch the clouds drift by. They have messages for you. Notice there is no difference where
you end and they begin.
Wake Up! You are a heavenly creature of the Divine Universe – here to play and create and love. Light
the candle in your heart and shine the light that is you on everything you see.
Do you now notice life all around you? Stand around trees and water and flowers and look with soft
eyes at all the life in full enjoyment of this beautiful playground. Take your shoes off and walk on the
sweet soil and sit next to a tree.
Wake Up! Open your heart and soul to nature. The energy that runs through the soil and the trees and
the birds and flowers and the sky is the same energy that runs through you. There is no separation. You
are as much a part of the garden as everything else in this world.
Wake Up and remember!
Love and more love.
