About Me

Running Cloud says, I am the moon and the stars... I am the sunshine and the rain clouds... I am all and nothing and more besides... I am the buffalo and the bison on the plains... I am the bear in the woods, and all of this you know... I am the eagle on the wing, the jackdaw and the sparrow... and even the blackbird – your beloved blackbird... I am the ladybird and the butterfly... I am the essence of love and life and freedom...
All entries posted to this site have been channelled from Running Cloud (unless otherwise stated). Running Cloud is a spirit guide, residing in the invisible realms. Some people know this as the spirit realms. Some people would call this place Heaven.

The Running Cloud messages showing *** in the title have been edited to remove references to me. They are shown on the site as I believe the remaining content is universal...

All other Running Cloud messages and poems were channelled for everybody and have not been altered in any way from the originals.

All of these messages come with love. Some of them are easy to understand and make a good deal of sense. Some of them are more difficult to accept, maybe making us feel uncomfortable - especially if they are calling for us to look inside and change our behaviours.

My advice is that you read the ones that appeal to you. Accept or reject the contents according to what you feel deep inside your heart. For there is no one answer. And, as Running Cloud says, we all are doing the best that we can.

And Amen to that!

Love is a blessing

Love is a blessing that very few receive
for love truly is a difficult thing
for humans to give freely.

And yet this loving blessing
is all around you.

In the elements.

Absolutely everywhere.

When is there no love?
Only when your heart is closed,
closed so it cannot get through.

What is love?
It is the purest blessing
you could ever wish to receive
and as you wish for it
you block it out!

For to truly know love
you must be open
and just know that it already is!

You cannot wish for it -
for it will never come.
It will always be some distant promise
that might turn up tomorrow
or the day after.

True love is always around you.

It never leaves.

It does not desert you
like a star-crossed lover.

It doesn't get angry
and abandon you,
though you block it out
til it feels love has abandoned you.

How could love ever leave you?

It is the air
the sunshine
the rain
the wind.

One of them is always to be found around you,
caressing your beautiful skin,
brushing your hair with tenderness.

How can you not feel it?
How can you miss that loving feeling?
Are you truly blind?
You who thinks romantic love is all?

What can man give to you
that the sun and wind and rain cannot give?

For they cleanse your soul
and refresh you in spirit.

Love is amazing.
It is everywhere.

See it in the magical rainbow.
Hear it in the dawn chorus.
Know it in the thunder of night rain on a tin roof.

Everywhere is the miracle of love,
of life,
if you care to open those blind eyes,
open those deaf ears.

Feel what touches your skin.
Let it savour you
and you savour it forever.

Mix together, blend, for you are one.

You are one with the locust infestation
and the teaming ants.

You are one with mountain ranges
and the oceans.

You are one with the whole universe
and all the others too.

For there is only one.
And that one is love.

Love lights up your life
by sunshine during the day
and by moonlight by night.

Never are you left in darkness
for always love is burning brightly
all around you.

Shining its beacon
for you to see the way,
to live for yourself,
to be true to yourself.

Truly the loving
magnificent creature that you are.
That you all are.
From the ant to the elephant.
And man in between.

Man is great.
And so is all.

All that is and ever was
is Love.

It is still there
even when you sleep,
even when you look and do not see a thing.

Always it surrounds you
as a miracle of light.

Let it shine.
Let it warm your heart.
Let its glow warm you up
so that you can spread joy
throughout this world.

Let the glow light up your life
so you can light up others.

Let your love
touch the hearts of all those around you.
Always.
For it is so.

You are love.
Always.

You can't switch it off,
even for a second.
Now how amazing is that?!

People want the second coming of Christ
but there is a far bigger,
more impressive miracle
and it is here already.

Here in the stars, the moon, the planets.
Yes,
Love is that miracle.
Love is everything.
There is nothing else.

And what else could you ever want?
What else would you ask for?

For once you have truly felt it
and seen with wonder,
what this world holds for you
you will not seek a redeemer.
You are your own redeemer.

Only you can set yourself free.

But if you allow the love to touch you,
if you stop fighting it,
blocking it out,
you will know the magnificence
of all creation.

the greatest gift that God has given:

LOVE!!

Love is everything.

No more.
No less.

Love is everything.

Truly.
Love is everything.

We have written this before
because it is the ultimate truth.
We will write it again
and again
until you believe it.
We will not stop until all mankind
knows the glory of this truth.

Amen.
God bless you all.

Sometimes life is not what it seems... ***

Sometimes life is not what it seems
but that is to be expected.

You cannot control everything
for that would be dull.
And dull is not good for you.

The spirit must be free to fly
and this it cannot do
if it is chained up,
under someone's control.

Relax that control.
Let everything go
and wait to see what happens.

What is the worst that could happen?
Do you think your world would end?
Your life would be over?

Maybe your old life would be gone
but that's not so tragic.

The new one is beautiful
because your soul is free.
Free to fly.

This is a blessing.
A gift.
A beautiful gift from heaven.
Do not waste it.

Take it with both hands
and hold it gently,
close to your heart.

Enfold it in your joy
for it is a beautiful blessing,
one that is special
and everlasting
like these words
echoing down through the mists of time,
through the years.

Do not ever concern yourself with details.

Your soul knows what it wants,
what it needs,
and if you would stop to listen
you would surely hear its words
calling to you
from the silence in your heart,
from that quiet place,
that still place filled with peace.

It is your blessing
to follow your soul's desire
so do not fight against it
or block it out.

Be brave.

Open up your heart
and face the truth of why you are here.

You will go far:
You have much ground to cover
but you will not travel alone.

We will always be near you,
by your side,
to lead you, hold your hand.

You are never alone on this,
your soul journey.

We will always guide you
if you will just stop and listen.

Make time for the quiet time,
the quiet space in your heart
where your eternal truth resides.

There is much wisdom in there,
in your heart,
and you can know it anytime you choose.
Anytime you choose to listen in,
to tune in to the wisdom in your heart,
from your soul.

The true you.
The essence of you.
Your true self.

It is all in there:
everything you have known
and all you will ever be.

The whole universe is inside you:
The space, the stars, the planets and God.

They are all in every cell of your body
for all is connected.

Not one person,
Not one planet,
Not one star
is separate from the rest...

We are all one.

We are all part of God's great plan
and you are no different from any other.

It is all there inside you.
Waiting for you to unlock it.

Just open up your heart with the key.

That key is love.

All you ever need is love.

It will move mountains
and bring down the stars.

It will shower you with riches,
spiritual riches.

Love truly is everything
and once you understand this,
deep in your being,
not just in your mind...

Once you know this
with every atom of your being,
only then will you hold the key
to unlock your heart
and release your soul to truly fly.

It is possible.
It is there.
It is really that easy.

And that elusive
for whilst we all want to believe in love
so many people are afraid.

Afraid that love is not enough.
That love will die.
That they will be left all alone.

But God's love is not like that.
And love light is everywhere
illuminating all that is around you
and inside you.

Within and without.

There is no mystery about it.
It really is that simple.

Love is everything.

No more.
No less.

Love is everything.

Truly.
Love is everything.



God bless.

Message for all mankind - 22 Dec 2007

Today it is important that you open your heart. Otherwise how will you know when you have been touched by another? How will you enjoy a shared moment of joy if you always travel with your eyes shut!

You must look and listen and learn. Be all that you can and you will find the joy again in your life. That spark that has been missing.

Next time you feel empty just think of a loved one’s smile. That joy will fill you up, and plump you up until you are buoyed up again and floating on the gentle stream.

When you open your heart to your fellow man and light up this world with your courage you will transform this amazing planet into a glorious technicolour parade of joy. All will sense your coming even if they cannot see your light. For you will be shining like the brightest star. Twinkling with the joy, with all those beautiful blessings shining from deep within.

It has been said that you must be careful with your thoughts and words and actions. In fact, this is the secret of all creation. It is not new and there are books available even in these times on this subject.

What you think about will become your reality. You will create with the power of your thoughts. So if you keep repeating the same thoughts they will get stronger.

So which thoughts would you like to see transformed into reality? Hopefully you will choose positive uplifting thoughts but experience shows us that when something joyous happens you congratulate yourself for 5 minutes and then move on. Some of you will even say something like “Ah, well but of course it can’t continue like this – it’s too good to be true.”

Here is something you need to know. Nothing is too good to be true! In fact, everything IS true. The good and the bad. The up and the down. The joy and the sorrow.

The middle line is balance. But if you are to be out of balance wouldn’t you rather be on the bright side? On the sunny side? Or do you wish to stay in the shadows? What is so attractive about the shadow side? The dark thoughts drive you there. Why do you want to go there?

Why not look at the sunshine? Feel it on your face? Too good to be true? Yes, but how about you let yourself enjoy it just for 5 minutes. Doesn’t that feel good? Too good to be true? Too good to last? That thought cancels out the goodness…

Now try this: enjoy the goodness for 5 minutes and then tell yourself “oh, this feels SO good I want more of this. I want to feel this good every minute of the day. Not too good to be true. But SO good I choose it all the time.”

Do you know what will happen, my friends? You will find yourself walking through that “too good to be true world” and it will be your home. You’ll be in heaven, here on earth. It might not happen today or even tomorrow but if you persevere, you will indeed create the perfect GOOD to be true wonderful life. The one that is just right for you.

Here’s the secret: when you have financial worries – stop worrying. Tell yourself “I have all the answers. This is dealt with. It is all resolved and I am okay. Because the universe (that is to say, God) always supports me.”

Now you may not know how the answer can come. But still keep on thinking positively. And sure enough – all your problems will resolve themselves!

You know, you all live in a magical world but most of you are blind to it. And so you flounder in deep, dark mud. You feel slushy and stuck.

But open your eyes, sweet ones, for there it is. Right before you. Above and below. All around you. So much goodness, so much abundance, so much love.

Oh, what a wonderful miracle love is. Life is love. Did you know that?

Have you ever noticed how some people are always happy and seem to be so lucky? They attract good luck all the time… they know the secret:

Just be who you are born to be. Express who you really are. Turn up. Show up. Don’t hide. And then when you are able to control your thoughts so that you are always positive, you will discover that you attract so many blessings into your lives. You will be astonished at how easy it is!!!

But at first you will struggle. Remember this, when you were learning to ride a bicycle you fell off many times or wobbled and felt scared. But now you are an expert and can always cycle instinctively. You never forget how.

Well it is the same with the positive power of creation.

Control what you think and you transform your world.

Control what you say and this creative magic speeds up considerably.

Control what you do: how you behave too and suddenly your positive creativity will be supercharged. On fast forward, or speed dial, if you prefer!

So let your new year’s resolution for 2008 be to think yourself well, to think yourself happy, to think yourself wealthy and to think yourself lucky.

Transform your inner world and watch your life change beyond recognition.

Enjoy your new challenges and always ask for help. It doesn’t matter if you don’t see your helpers. They listen anyway. They wait for your request. It is that simple. “please help me…” Problem solved!

Have fun with it, sweet ones.

Try out the new adventure for 2008 and watch the world amaze you.

Prepare to be astonished!



God bless.

Go in peace.
Om Shanti.
