Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, you are free to paint your life, with any palette, you choose. You are also free to hand the brush and palette, to someone else, and let them paint your life, for you. Either way, you are responseable for the painting. Here's the good news, your truest self is a master painter...painting masterpieces only. So, take up that brush, freshen that palette, and paint boldly, my friend!"

The greens of Summer...
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "I hold the apple to my mouth. It's bright green sheen, shining in the sun...flashing, for just a moment...and I notice a shallow brown groove, a sun scar, tracing a circle around the stem. That simple little circumnavigation traces its way to a sunburst, in my memory. Or is it sunbursts? I don't know. What I do know, is that, for a moment, it is Summer. That's enough, and I put the apple in my pocket."

A quick, one minute laughter session. Join in, laughter lowers your stress levels...plus, it's fun.
Daily Uplift -- January 30, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, relax. Salvation is a fiction...redemption too. So, too, is enlightenment. Heaven? Hell? Stories, built from other stories. Relax, and breathe. Breathe, and remember...that the story, of 'lost and found', is a story, told (through the story, of you) by that, which is never lost or found...the essential essence of all things...the essential essence of you. Relax, breathe, and remember."

Both field and fountain...
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "And, until such time, as your external world matches the world of your desires, fret not, and remember that all form is ephemeral. Say, you, 'This too shall pass, and while it remains, I do choose to love it, as my creation.' For all your experiencences are, indeed, your creation...the children (some known and others, hidden) of your thoughts and emotions...and you, both fountain and field of their existence."
Worthy of love?
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "To say that you deserve love, is to say that water deserves to be wet."
Daily Uplift -- January 29, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, be here...be right here, be right now. No need to know where you are, in relation to anywhere else. No need to know when you are, in relation to any other time. No need to know who you are, in relation to anyone else. Bring your whole self to this moment. This perfect moment is peace. Breathe. This perfect moment is home. Breathe. This perfect moment is you. Blessings!"
Daily Uplift -- January 27, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, decide to live from joy. You've done the whole 'life is hard work, it's a struggle' thing...many even have a degree in it (he said, grinning). Now, it's time to experience your fullest life, and that is a life, lived from joy. This means knowing what is joy, for you, and then, remembering that, not only are you worthy of joy, it is your most natural state. So, what is your joy? Hmmm?"

Remember to remember...
says, "What you call 'enlightenment', is simply remembering...remembering, more and more, the truth of you...that you are that, from which all things flow, and in which all things exist."
Spinning quanta into fictions...
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "Right now, stop whatever you are doing, and be still. Breathe, deep, and be still.....breathe.....can you hear that? Can you hear yourSelf, spinning quanta, into stories, into fictions? Look around you. It's all yours...a creation, of the highest order. Fiction, made real, through you...through LOVE, experiencing Itself as human. And it is brilliant! If you can create this, what else might you create?"
Daily Uplift -- January 28, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, remember that the mind sees poetry as rhyme and meter, word choice and structure...the understanding, and communication, of beautiful thoughts. For the heart, poetry is the desire to connect, to give voice to, and share, feelings and emotions. The poetry, that really moves us, speaks to us, flows from the divine marriage, of heart and mind, bridging body and soul. What is your poetry?"
Disappointment and re-appointment...
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "Just a little reminder: When you experience change, you can know it as disappointment...or, simply, re-appointment. Feel the difference? Blessings!"
Oh, Light Of The World...
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "Oh, Light Of The World, in those times, when you are experiencing deep fear and pain, you are no less an expression of LOVE. LOVE is all. LOVE is all, and knows all as Itself...as LOVE. You are LOVE, in this moment, as you experience yourself. Make some time, to feel that, and let it flow through you. Accept yourself as LOVE...the whole of you...and proclaim, 'I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!'"

Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, remember that you can never really understand the complexities, of an other's life...their inner and outer experiences...and it really is not important that you do. In truth, when you let go, of your need to understand an other's actions (and/or motives for those actions), you begin to, more fully, live your own life. What a wonderful thing..a life of self-discovery. Blessings!"

Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, remember that the world is your creation...you are such a powerful creator, and your creation, so engaging, that even you can find yourself, caught up in it. Now, that is amazing...a little like a film-maker, casting herself, in her own movie, then forgetting she is in a movie. Take five, right now, and remember that you are always free to tweak the script. Blessings!"

I tell you, there are no wasted lives, and no disappointments...LOVE knows you as LOVE...right now. You exist, as perfect LOVE In The Human Experience. You are, already, fulfilling your life purpose. What's left to do, then? Live from joy, and know yourself as LOVE. Blessings!"

I welcome you, as my Self. Be welcome. As this is my home, let it be yours. Come, you have my blessing. Enter, and know peace. What has happened before, is no more. Welcome! Come home.' Blessings!"
Tattvam Asi! (Thou art that! -- or -- Thou art LOVE!)

Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, remember that there is real freedom in letting go, of needing to know what others are doing, and why. We can make ourselves sick, make our minds dull and thick, with trying to reveal every lie. Or we can focus, instead, on our own daily bread...that which feeds our own inner fire. Choosing, once and for all, to answer the call, of our own joy, our own heart's desire."

Laughter...
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "Laughter returns the greatest dividends, for the smallest of investments. Laugh, laugh, laugh! Laughter is one of those instances, where the more you use it, the more, of it, you have. Blessings!"

Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, know that the greatest subject, you can ever study, is you. No figure, famous or otherwise, is more worthy of your understanding. You are so magnificent (as you are, right now), that a whole world...nay, a whole Youniverse...was necessary to showcase you, and your brilliance. Right now, make time to know you and celebrate you. There is no one, more worthy of celebration. Blessings!"

You are LOVE...the rest is just pretend...
When you look within, see LOVE. This is your truth. Know your Self as LOVE. The rest is just pretend. You are great at pretending. In truth, you are the best. You are so brilliant, at pretending, that you convince, even yourself. Know yourSelf as LOVE, and then (take a deep breath) know the world as yourSelf. Let this phrase help you to remember, "I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!" Blessings!

This is the conscious creation of your most fulfilling life...life with no limits. Blessings!"

Karma is an 'opt-in'...always has been.
says, "Karma, like every 'cosmic law', has always been an 'opt-in' opportunity, within the construct of space/time...it is not required, but you have poured your Self, so fully into these concepts, that it feels required. Remember, thou art LOVE. LOVE is the law above all other laws. LOVE is the law that is not a law, but from which, in which all laws exist. Know thyself as LOVE, and be truly free. Blessings!"
Relax and rejoice! Thou art LOVE!
says, "My friend, you are neither inherently good, nor inherently bad. Each, of those ideas, is inherently limited, and could never encompass the whole truth of you. You are that, from which these, and all things flow, and in which all things exist. Relax and rejoice, you are LOVE. You are! Blessings!"

Patrick's Daily Uplift - January 13, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, know that all realities exist as equal opportunities, within LOVE. Good news! You are LOVE, and all realities exist as equal opportunities, within you. Whatever you expect to experience, you will experience...no exceptions. Make time, right now, to be clearer about what you expect, and watch the world get clearer about reflecting that, to you. See? Easy. Blessings!"
Patrick's Daily Uplift - January 14, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, remember, the difference, between loss and opportunity, is perspective. Change is part of the human experience. Sometimes, you call the change 'opportunity', and sometimes, 'loss'. Either way, it is change. When you fight it, you feel, only, the loss of 'what was'. When you embrace it, you open yourself to the potential of 'what is'...therein, lies opportunity. Blessings!"

Daily Uplift for January 12, 2011
Patrick Sterenchuk says, "In this perfect moment, you are creating your world. In this perfect moment, all realities exist as equally available to you, and you...who seem to be finite and small...are choosing this experience, out of this infinite number of experiences. You are creating your world, and if you can create a world, from all possible worlds, what's stopping you from creating one, more to your liking? Hmmm? Blessings!"
I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!
Friend,
You, who create the world (even now, as you read this), you are LOVE! Do you image-in, even for a moment that you can be harmed without your permission? Do you image-in that you can even be harmed? I tell you that you may seem to be harmed (or to harm an other)...and it feels very real, I know...very real, indeed...but you only SEEM to be harmed.
You are LOVE. In LOVE, nothing is lost or harmed, but we may image-in that to be true. We may also image-in that we are whole. We may choose to know ourselves as whole and healthy, to know that harm is not a part of our experience. It is not our responsibility...conscious or otherwise...to participate in the experience, of harm, just because everyone else seems to believe in it. Let go of any perceptions, that keep you in limitation. You are only limited by your perceptions, preferences, and pre-conceived notions...essentially, what you have agreed to believe, as truth for you...and you can, at any moment, choose to believe that you are LOVE. You are, you know? You are that, from which all things flow, and in which, all things exist. You are reality, and the source of all reality. You are alpha and omega, and you are that, in which alpha and omega are real. Amazing!Even more amazing? You have learned to image-in yourself, as a finite, limited being...subject to the whims of chaos and random chance. And while you believe this to be true...it is. Whatever you allow, consciously or otherwise, is what is allowed. The world, literally and completely, shows you only what you allow it to. You are LOVE. You are the essential essence of all that is. You are not limited, but you have learned to tell yourself that you are. Now is the time, to tell yourself something different. This is not lying. It may, very well feel like it. It is not. It may be true that, whatever you are telling the world, does not match up with what you seem to be experiencing, but how do you think you change a habit? Not by acting on that habit. Not by doing the same thing, over and over. You can, right now, in the face of doubts, fears, insecurities, choose to know yourself as LOVE. As you begin to remember, more and more, that you are LOVE, that you are that, in which all things are true, then you remember that everything around you is LOVE...you remember that, at the core of every experience, at the heart of all things, is the same essential essence. LOVE is all, without exception, and LOVE knows all things as LOVE. Can you feel that to be true? Are you remembering that you, and everyone (yes, everyone, without exception) around you, is LOVE? I have a tool, to share with you, that is designed to do just that...to help you remember and experience yourself as LOVE, and from that, to know all things as LOVE...all things, all people, all experiences, all ideas, all choices, etc... In this understanding, is peace, freedom, joy, abundance. This tool is profound and powerful, and it is...simple. All truth is simple...easy too. It is a simple statement, that follows from this truth: "LOVE is all, and knows all as LOVE.""LOVE is all, and knows all as LOVE." Relax into that truth. Let it roll around, inside of you. Then, take a deep breath, and say with me, "I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!" I invite you to say it again, and again...like a mantra. Even now, as you speak it...speak it again...it is waking a remembering, within you. Feel it, remember it, know it, be it. Be, thou, LOVE! You are LOVE!"I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!"...a statement and declaration of perfect understanding. Let it help you to expect LOVE, from the world around you. Like all tools, it is only as powerful as you let it be. Relax and open your heart and mind, to the truth of it..."I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE." I invite you to practice this, and begin to create your world, from this truth..."I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!"
With LOVE,
Patrick
p.s. Remember, you experience what you expect to experience, and you can only expect what you can accept. Accept this - You are LOVE. Take this into your heart, and when you feel like you get it, extend your understanding to the world. It is, after all, a reflection of that which is in you, that which you present to it. The world can only give you what you, first, give it.
Give the world, your understanding, and your new acceptance, of yourself as LOVE. Know yourself as LOVE, and then...know the world as LOVE. Accept and expect the world to be LOVE, and you will begin to experience just that. See? Simple. Now, one more time, with me, "I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!""I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE!"

You are also free to allow that they are experiencing pain, loss, tragedy...while you, yourself, are not. Either way is a choice. In either choice, you are, equally, free to love them, and hold them, in kindness and understanding. Which one holds more joy, for you?"

"If they asked me, I could write a book..."
My friends,
For each of us, in our human experience, there are moments that feel more profoundly earth-shattering, than others...moments, when the world seems turned on its head, and everything that was known (and comfortable) is no longer known. I have known many moments, like this, in this human experience, and I bless them all...those that felt devastating and those that felt blissful...and I would not change a single one. I love them all, as my creations...reflections of my inner experience. Now is another one of those moments, and it is profoundly life-altering.
For some time, I have been quietly (for the most part) experiencing one of the most profound, and (I'll admit) most challenging, of these world changing moments. I have come to embrace, more fully, my life as a servant, healer, philosopher, messenger, friend...to share what is truth, for me, and let that serve as point or counterpoint, for others to know, more fully, their truth. This is great joy, for me. After 18 years, of preparation, I have said "Yes!" to this "calling", in a way that I have not, previously. I can feel it unfolding within me, and it is incredible.
It is incredible, and more so, because I have had an amazing partner, for over 10 years, who has supported me, in this unfolding. She has been the most perfect partner, I could have imagined, and probably better (one of my favorite affirmations: "I accept this, or something better."...I definitely got the better). I get a little misty-eyed, thinking of the gift of her, in my life. To call her the love of my life would be to sell short, the true depth of my feelings for her. I know, perhaps more than she is aware, of how incredibly blessed I am, by her. Truly.
Before her, I had never known what it was like to know my love as my best friend. Every moment of breakthrough or insight, every triumph and accolade has always been more enjoyable...after sharing it with her. She has been more than supportive. She has encouraged, and when beneficial, has nudged me, to step into this wonderful vocation that I am so blessed to share....even when it became evident that it was slowly taking me away from her, for longer periods of time.
Even when it meant that our lives were beginning to unfold in very different directions, she (very lovingly, and with great generosity) has been my champion. What a gift. In this, as in so many things, she shows herself as my teacher. I know that this has not been easy for her, but we realized, early one, that the strength of our bond was our deep, abiding friendship. She is my best friend, and I am hers. This is the most profound relationship, I have had with any other human being, and I am doing my best to share, with you, my incalculable gratitude for this gift. You will simply have to take my word for it...I love this woman, with every fiber of my being.
I love Danielle Stone. I love her as the love of my life, and I love her as my best friend. We have talked about this, a lot, in the last few months. We have laughed and we have cried, about this love. We have yelled a few times, and apologized a few times. We have held each other, in stunned silence, as we realized that two people can love one another, so well, and have that not be enough to stay together. We love each other so well, that the other feels supported in loving themselves, first...even when that means making decisions that mean the end of our relationship.
We have been doing this for awhile...each of us secretly (and, sometimes, not so secretly) holding out for signs that, maybe, we could compromise our joy, for the sake of staying together. We have had these conversations too...lots of them. Through it all, we have made one thing very clear...to each other, ourselves, family friends, etc...we remain best friends. No matter the sadness, that accompanies the dissolving of such a long relationship (longer than many marriages), we have made a commitment to love each other.
We have committed ourselves to loving and maintaining our soul-deep friendship. She is my best friend. I am hers. In this, we are still partners. As best friends, we are helping each other through all of the moments that most people have to face alone, when ending a relationship. The difference is, that (and I think I speak for both of us, on this) we both really love each other...I know I do. All of the qualities, that attracted me, to her, are still there...along with those qualities, that we all discover, in long relationships. I don't love her any less. If anything, I find myself loving her more.
I could go on and on, but this is enough, for now. I do want to say that, of course, we both have our sad moments, and probably some "what-if" moments, but overall, we both know that this is the loving thing to do. In a very profound way, it is our love, for each other, that is allowing us to transition from one type of relationship, into another, without losing our love (or having to create reasons...consciously or otherwise...to make it easier to "break up"). This means that, during all of it, there has been no pettiness, no bitterness, neither of us being mean or hurtful. We are creating our own model, for how to do this, and it is more than I could have asked for.
One last thing...I am asking friends and family to know that there are no sides, in this. We are each other's best friend, and we have talked, at some length, about asking people to love, without feeling sorry for us, sad for us, or feeling the need to wonder where blame should be placed. There is no blame to be placed...we are best friends who, for a wonderful ten years, were also romantic partners. This is, for me, a glory and a wonder, and I am eternally grateful for the gift of her, in my life...in whatever form that gift may take. How blessed am I? Beyond my ability to measure.
Thank you, all of you who have taken the time to read this long heart song. It feels good to share this part of my unfolding, with all of you. I ask, of you, one last thing, do not feel sorry for us or worry for us. Instead, know us as whole and healthy, excited about life and each other, and opening to more and more of our most fulfilling life. We are doing what best friends do...we are supporting each other, in exploring all sorts of new adventures and opportunities. What a wonderful thing it is, to witness your best friend, shining and celebrating life. I am, truly a blessed man, and you are part of that. Blessings to you. I AM LOVE, and know you as LOVE!
With LOVE,
Patrick
p.s. Look for a follow-up blog, letting you know about some of the new things I am playing with and allowing. Exciting stuff...including more travel (for those of you, who have asked me to come to where you are...for workshops and personal work...its time for us to talk and plan...call me), completing some of my many book projects (including, what one friend calls, "The Pocket Patrick" book), and other fine adventures. I AM LOVE, and know all things as LOVE (including y'all)!
