I Heart You Poems
I Heart You Poems #1: 
“Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of the genius”.
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
For those of you who don’t know what the popular term “I Heart You” is all about, it’s a cute, creative, way to say, “I love you” and a particular favorite when used as the picture to the right shows.
I Heart You Poems are, then, poems about love, relationships and, of course, our hearts.
You might be asking yourself, “How do I Heart You Poems fit into the serious metaphysics and spirituality Colette usually teaches and is she about to get all “woo-woo” on us”?
I Heart You Poems #2:
“We can do no great things; only small things with great love”.
- Mother Theresa
See, I can talk about science, metaphysics and, even, quantum physics and how it relates to spirituality – to the heart - all day long.
And, often times, I do.
I’m completely committed to disseminating the most up to date and accurate data on the correlation of science, metaphysics and quantum physics to spirituality.
But it does not escape me that everyone is not cut out for heavy-duty science and spiritual lessons on a regular basis.
Because I recognize that, I am doing the very thing Mother Theresa spoke about.
I’m doing something small, but with great love.
I am lightening up!
(At least for this post anyway!)
Sometimes I need to reach out and remind people…myself included… not to get so caught up in earthly minutia but to take a step back, breathe, trust and “know” all is well.
This is especially important as we move into 2012.
I Heart You Poems #3:
“The heart has reasons that reason cannot know”.
-Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
People are acting with such an incredible sense of urgency even when it comes to the most mundane of tasks.
Some of us recognize it and know “why”.
Some don’t recognize it at all. For them, it just seems as though the world is getting to be a “crazier place to live”.
There is no mistaking the rapidity with which we find ourselves hurtling through our day…through our lives…is directly caused by changes in the Earth’s magnetic field
Yet that is only one reason.
Never forget there are innumerable reasons we don’t know.
I Heart You Poems #4:
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”.
- Aristotle (384BC-322BC)
As we move further into the 2012 dimensional shift, we must take care of our hearts.
We must “educate” our hearts.
When I first read the Aristotle quote above, I loved it. But, then, I began wondering, “How does one “educate their heart”?
I Heart You Poems #5:
“Wherever you go, go with all your heart”
-Confucious (551-479BC)
Thank you Mr. Confucious. That answers my question and makes perfect sense.
The Earth’s energy is changing and we certainly run the risk of changing right along with it. Especially if we don’t “educate” our hearts.
Meaning…we can control the frequency of the energy our heart puts out. And we can be aware of the energy we take in.
Remember I’m keeping this post lighter than my regular posts so I won’t go in depth into the science of the hearts energetic frequencies. You can read about that in The Global Coherence Initiative or The Institute of HeartMath.
Though I love the science behind all this – all the “why’s” and “wherefore’s” educating the heart really does boil down to one simple concept.
Love.
You may be thinking, “Duh! I got all the way through this post for Colette to tell me about love? I know about love. I am love”!
Really?
When you read each of the “I Heart You Poems”…what happened?
Did you rush through them because you were in too much of a hurry to enjoy the love I’m sending in this post – the love the authors of the quotes were sending when they made their statements?
Did you sit back for a moment or two and reflect on the quotes, relaxing for, maybe, the first time in your day?
You may think of the quotes I chose to use as only just that – quotes. But I see those words as some of the most beautiful poetry there is to be read.
Too many time we forget about love as we go about our day. We have to make this deadline, we have to go to that function, we have to….we have to…we have to…!
No you don’t.
No I don’t.

Roger That!
Thank-you SO much Colette !! All we NEED in this life is LOVE- for sure !! It conquers ALL . I hope the ENTIRE world gets the message – I Love You – - – -
perfect, colette!
thanks for encouraging BALANCE!
I Heart You too and embrace your beautiful heart for being who you are and reminding us how magnificent life is when it is love.
I’m hearting you too! You’re such an amazing inspiration. You’re a huge dispenser of love and beauty, and I love it!
Hi Colette Thank you! Yes “Love” is all we need!! Makes one feel Great!!
Some years back, I had a “Near Death Experience” for about 4 minutes. Before I returned to earth, I asked GOD, “How will I know YOU?”, and HE said “LOVE”. I’ve been learning about LOVE every since. For example, when I pray for children (mines and others), I picture myself as a guard on a bridge not letting anything by that will hurt them. In spirit that takes LOVE because I sacrifice for them. I choose not to be afraid to face whatever approaches for them and to protect them with my own self. I thank GOD for this knowledge because it has grown me spiritually. Be blessed with this…..
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”.
With out love there is no joy, no peace, no comfort, no understanding and no meaning to living. Life will be unbareable and we will be lost in a void that will never end.
So lets teach by loving and the world’s light will never die. May the love of God light your path and those that follow. Thank you Colette for shining your light.
Leave your response!

Daily Stars with Shelley von Strunckel
www.shelleyvonstrunckel.comNo Aries is happy about being cornered into doing anything. But the circumstances triggered by your ruler Mars' encounter with the fair but tough Saturn indicate exactly that. Battle these if you must. Ultimately, however, you'll realise that tedious as these seem, tacking them would be in your best interests. By Shelley von Strunckel
Obviously you're unhappy that others are making decisions that should be yours to deal with. And this is especially true now, since these are bringing changes as disruptive as they'd be unnecessary. Or so you think. Discuss this with the person in question. Their reasoning is likely to win you over. By Shelley von Strunckel
The secret to getting through the next few days successfully is to regard even the simplest of arrangements as but one stage in many. That way when the unsettling and often unexpected developments triggered by the current rather intense planetary activity take place, you'll make whatever adjustments are needed, and without any dramas. By Shelley von Strunckel
If you're worried about something or someone, you'll usually reflect on past experience until you feel you understand what you're facing. However, with so much in transition, such a review will only confuse matters. Instead, discuss concerns openly with others. Daunting as this seems initially, what you learn could revolutionise your outlook. By Shelley von Strunckel
With both Saturn and, as of now, the impatient Mars accenting your perspective on various crucial decisions, you could rush into things. The trick is to react swiftly but make no arrangements you can't reorganise. What you discover over the coming weeks could be surprising, enough to substantially alter your thinking and priorities. By Shelley von Strunckel
Now that both Saturn and, as of yesterday, Mars, have departed your sign, you get a break. This is a relief, but you won't entirely escape this period of dramatic change. Rather, you'll no longer feel you're responsible for holding everything together, as you have for most of the past three years. By Shelley von Strunckel
As a Libra you often agonise over decisions. This is particularly the case now, because situations are pressing and you're conscious that what you opt for will profoundly influence others. Still, your priority must be you. Discuss this if you must, but only to explain your thinking. Not to obtain anybody's approval. By Shelley von Strunckel
When there's anything you regard as unwise or simply don't want to do, you'll find a diplomatic yet firm way to avoid it. Often without those involved realising they've been refused. Now, however, you're urged to talk this through. Only once you do, will you recognise just how much you'd be missing. By Shelley von Strunckel
Occasionally you'll gloss over tedious details because you expect others to be as bored with them as you are. On the contrary, not only are certain individuals actually interested in these, allow them to take the lead and they'll offer invaluable insights and guidance about how you should be handling such matters. By Shelley von Strunckel
Inevitably, your ruler Saturn's recent move into the gracious Libra will make you even more conscious than usual about the need to handle sensitive situations diplomatically. Still, with things so urgent at the moment, you'll probably have to employ a firm hand when it comes to planning, but combine it with a gentle touch. By Shelley von Strunckel
Sometimes it's not until others challenge your views that you actually stop to think them through. This certainly appears to be the case now. Annoying as a few of the issues being raised seem, they're forcing you to examine what's behind certain ideals and objectives. And just when such a process is timely. By Shelley von Strunckel
You're about to go to battle over an issue that simply isn't as important as it once was. But you resist acknowledging that things have changed. Do so and you'll not only liberate yourself from a tedious and increasingly time-consuming drama, you'll be free for other, far more rewarding, pursuits. By Shelley von Strunckel
