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.comObviously you'd rather make decisions on your own than have to bow to the questionable views of others. However unsure you are about the wisdom of their plans, they're actually far more knowledgeable than you imagine. Ask them for explanations. The resulting discussions will be as informative as they are reassuring. By Shelley von Strunckel
Now that Neptune has joined your ruler Venus in the visionary sign of Pisces, you'll find that suddenly your intuition is amazingly clear. While this may not last forever, explore the resulting feelings and perceptions. The resulting insights will come in handy, especially when dealing with impossible people or situations. By Shelley von Strunckel
Often issues are best discussed frankly and openly, and as soon as possible after they arise. However, many pivotal facts are either unknown or misunderstood. That being the case, take it slowly. Say what you must but no more. And remain silent until all the necessary information comes to light. By Shelley von Strunckel
Every once in a while it's important to review what you do with your time and to consider what and who you put first in your life. While you might think you've got your priorities right, give some thought to these matters and you'll realise you're short-changing some and wasting considerable time on others. By Shelley von Strunckel
Sometimes challenging situations involving already rather uptight individuals are best approached with a light touch. While you may think there's nothing funny or humorous to be found, the actual process will cast the proceedings in a fresh perspective. You might even stop taking things quite so seriously, which alone is an achievement. By Shelley von Strunckel
Don't mistake the suggestions made by others that certain once important ventures might need to come to a conclusion as criticism. The fact is, you've been thinking exactly the same yourself, but have been unwilling to acknowledge it. The real problem is your own pride. Tackle that and everything else will be easy. By Shelley von Strunckel
Arrangements you've struggled to organise are falling apart. You can't help but feel that if they matter, you should battle for them. Take a look at the changes going on around you and, as a result, in your own life. These make it inevitable that some of those long-standing arrangements must go. By Shelley von Strunckel
One of the most challenging things for you to admit is that you've been outsmarted. It makes no difference whether the situation in question involves certain individuals or it's the circumstances you're dealing with. Still, not only must you admit that's the case, you're urged to let go of the reins entirely. By Shelley von Strunckel
Being a fire sign, you're superb at surmounting the kind of obstacles many regard as overwhelming. However, one particular situation has thrown even you. Frustrating as this is in the short term, what you learn from the actual process of figuring out ways around these will serve you well in the future. By Shelley von Strunckel
Yet again you've made the mistake of trusting somebody else to do a job for you. Actually, that isn't the problem. They did what was necessary, but not with the care or thoroughness you'd have employed. Which is why you didn't mention it. You unwisely assumed they would be as conscientious as you are. By Shelley von Strunckel
As an Aquarius, although you don't notice it, you're far more interested in what others are both thinking and doing than most. This means that often you understand them better than they do themselves. Bear this in mind now, as you discuss sensitive matters and you'll realise why they seem so lacking in self-awareness. By Shelley von Strunckel
At times progress is marked by new experiences, exciting encounters or achievements. However, the kind of progress you're making could just as well involve recognising that you really must say farewell to certain alliances, activities or even goals. This may seem unfair, but they part of the past and would be a real distraction. By Shelley von Strunckel
