Ice Crystals

Moon shimmer through to me,
I see you, a reflection of the sun

During the darkest hours, you enlighten
I glimpse into the present

A sacred space dwells inside
your gentle light, oh moon,
casts away all fear

The space is opened into this
place

Ice crystals dance along the
icicle, waiting to be released by the heat of the day

It is in the night, when you the gracious moon,
captures the essence of my soul
make merry in the Ice night
glimmering crystal

chance

the chance to live and love

love without expectations, regrets, anticipations, judgement or attachment

True love is given with infinte grace

Center of the Universe

I am the center of the universe

within me, in each cell
a living soul working and being one

a great length of solitude

in order to feel the connection
now i beleive
now I am
now I see

Considerations

Oh the roles and choices
I, the eldest of the forest
I choose to lead

The new branches, stretch, grow,
and blossom

New ideals abound the within
the nectar of the
center

The center which is always
here, awaiting

Sometimes I think I want to be
in another forest
be a different branch
bear someone else's fruit

Alas this is my path
My role can and is thoughtful,
heart driven, and
SOUL LEAD

Action of Beliefs

Beyond the forces of nature
within the song of the wind
I howl unto the night sky for an
answer to a prayer

I am steadfast in my quest
the belief of joy within my reach
altruism

Some say to dance amongst the stars
overfills the soul with joy
I am the stars
I have the joy
I dance

I catch myself wanting to act
in order to draw in my desires
yet this action before belief
is frivolous

More and more I am aware of the
millions of thoughts and emotions
What are these beliefs based on or in
Do I truly believe this for me
or am I also just a sheep
one of the cattle

Sit and wait
the stillness enters with the belief
ingrained in my soul
the Joy of Being
a human Being

the Brilliance

little droplets, wander from the sky to the earth
do they have a choice in where they fall?
some how they know, there purpose is to splash,
splutter, tinkle, give life through water

oh little droplets, quench my thirst
I, too, know my purpose is to give life

by being, listening, and guiding
my soul knows, I have the choice
brilliance of the rain? or dankness in the gutter?

I choose

yes

Nature is a marvelous, everchanging and creative mystery

Cobalt Blue Jay

His melody sweetly entered my dream
through the notes I was lulled into
the morning dew

Twirling, spinning, moving the leaves
create their own choreographed dance
As they fall to the earthen floor

Warmth from within meets the dawn of the day
Sunlight opens the shadowed clouds
I sigh in wonder

The breath follows the mood
the mood follows the breath

Oh to fly and be wooed by my Beloved
sing through me
Cobalt Blue Jay

Contrast

amazing changes all around
the autumn colors reflect my light
a sharing of celebration

feel the deepening coolness
nature begins to shed her skin
the veil is broken

what lies beneath is
is

Balance of Duality

to Draw upon the gracious strengths,
the persona surrenders to the Divine self

By raising the white flag,
the ego recognizes survival with and
By the Way of Peace

Within the dawn of the Self era
Authentic service reigns and
manages all in
Love
Honor
Respect
Faith

Experience the Balance of Duality

lure to the hills

I drove up this morning in tears of joy. Oh when I rolled down the windows, the fragrance pulled at me heart and the memories of childhood flooded my vision. Immediately I cried out in love and gratitude. All the vibrant colors played with the pallet of my thoughts and imagination. Autumn is Abound...

The calling runs deep within me. Like the blood deep within the vital organs, the essence of nature keep me alive. Whisked away from the city's drone, I fall into the music of the mountains.

I spent the afternoon in quiet, reading, sitting...
Watching a falcon circle the sandy lot, waiting patiently for its prey

What am I waiting for? The season of harvest is Now.

Shadow

A turn form light to dark
not such a direct constrast
there is a fading into gray

This turn of shadow engages my curiosity....
What, who, when, where, how, why, this interlude of light to dark...
Play with the shadows, embrace the lessons and mystery.

Upon

Ah , the desired Once Upon a Time
of space and energy
I release the notion of Happily Ever After

Here is the happiness
in service and divine intervention
meaning of relinquishing the persona

the true self steps forth
a dance occurs, one not always graceful
a power play of patterns

behaviors and ideals, set aside
new creations guide the path
a past idea steps into the lighted way

it brings in a false light,
a slightly skewed pattern
Although normal - not comfortable

Every moment a chance to create
do I jump into my chances?
I wait

Upon the assumption that an enlighten path
takes time
But what is time to the Being?

Who is asking me to so slower?
When do I begin to trust the light....
Once Upon a Time

blissfulness....

Enjoy the sounds of nature and her cycles. It absolutely amazes me how much more centered I feel when I take the time to connect with the mother earth. You are so lucky and blessed to be living in her heart. Nature cycles through and constantly creates anew. I am inspired by the awareness in a forest... Ah to live like a tree and bend with the forces and powers of life.

For me it is not so much as a positivity or negativity, it is the peace of the space between. I can sense this peace when I still my mind, emotions, and body. Meditation has been a key for me to restore the balance and spirit within myself and around myself. I love the metaphor of a river: between the banks of problems and positivity there flows the peaceful life, always changing in but not of the banks. Feel the flow.

Experience

Looking into this life
an amazing feat adn creation

When I begin to let go
the pain arises, stronger and deeper
As if to sey "here take that and this and be in pain, because that is who you are"

Hey pain, I am not that or this
So quickly the mind and emotions labels and want attention
the more and more attention I give to these, the more I identify myself through them

The experience of knowing there is a peace
I think of this place
I imagine the feeling
I sense this feeling
Then I let go

When is then
to happen and allow the action of

Ghostdancing amoungst the sleeping
Dreaming

Moving to the Internal music

The void between the notes, plays the melody so sweetly
You are the void that beckons my attention

May I let these attachments fall from grace with grace
Embracing the song and dance of the heart
A silver orb extends into my physical being

Watching with waiting
Praying with patience

Changing

Life is constantly in a flow
Like a river's current, the essence continues to maneuver
Water quenches the thirst
cuts thru the earth
gives and takes life
Respect and Honor the flow
Watch the current
Ease into the stream, follow the source to ocean
Each bend brings new awareness
Relax into the fall line

the Moon

I see the moon rising in the eat, a corn colored sphere, reflecting to the earth, the two goddess unite thru my being. Soon I will see the earths shadow dance across the face of the moon - For it is under the spot light that the deepest shadows are cast.

I am a woman, designed to feel the call and cycles of life. Honor these cycles and rhythms allows me to relax and be.

As much as I honor the moon, and her pull on my body, I am drawn and pulled to the earth. The Water goddess beckons me to sip from her loins. The Winds plays in my hair and invites my eyes to follow the flight of a falling leaf.

Seasons moving thru my existence. I have been created by my own soul ans essence. Watching with an inner calm, gentle voice, and strong will - I see us as we are. ?Here This Now Breathe Feel

The moon

My oh My

My oh my....

Over the last few hours I have been able to figure out many ah-ha's!!! Thanks for knowing that I needed to rest last night. Upon arriving home I felt empty. I knew I could go back to the party, but I decided to let myself feel lonely and empty. It has been quite the process. I realize that I do not accept some of my feelings as they arise. My body is telling me to 'take it easy honey' The only time I was allowed to take it easy and rest was when I was sleeping or sick - so my ego remembers this as a pattern that works - so I create it over and over. So, I am honoring my body and resting on Sunday - hee hee

The only thing I can do is be with me right now. AS I dig deeper into these core beliefs I have found that I have been supressing many emotions over the years. I know that I could feel my absent father and my mother filled her emptiness with children and activities. I witnessed her and my dad fighting behind closed doors. As a child I was punished for showing my true feelings and sharing my true ideas. These emotions were quickly supressed and conformed into a myriad of socially acceptable ideas. I developed ways to be imperfect because my family valued only God as perfect and humans as sinful creatures. Not truly thinking or believing I was imperfect, I began to take on behaviors that would be tolerable to my family. I created a socially acceptable problem (disordered eating patterns) that meant I still needed to look to others for help. I know the food was not the problem - See there never was a problem, I just tried to fit in the best I could with the family my soul chose. Then, still not listening to my inner voice, that lovely voice by the way, I created other ways to be "wrong" - thru drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, cleaning, exercising, etc... All these things to fill a void which I created to fit in - to try to be a part of the world. Upon recognition of false fillers, these traits have tried to hold fast and prove they are the only way, the others are right - you are wrong, blah blah blah blah blah!!!! Little tid bits of internal dialog which brought me away from feeling and being - so much of which I began to only live out in the game - forgetting about way lies within - a beautiful stillness...

A shift in my view of self has stirred the muck of my life to the surface. I see the dirty water as a simple mixture of the lovely earth which I created and the flow of life in which I am.

I could go on and on to with examples of how I made myself conform to other's constructs and ideals. I have been trying to please mother and father figures in all other areas of my life.

I am ready to let go of the game. It has been fun. Time and time again I have tried to get out of it by pushing it away. So, okay, the game exists - no questions here. Now is the time to watch the game be played as I sit back and gently place my piece into play....

love to all -

"Be free spirited, full hearted, and daring minded"

I am trying to get over a cold. What does this mean - get over, as if it were an obstacle, a small bump - I see it and receive it as a gift to learn how to nurture myself back into health. To listen to the other voices just soft enough that my true voice rings from the song - a light harmony - an internal calm - union.

in all

Loving life and living in liberty
Divine beauty and grace in a single petal
in a dozen roses
in a communal garden
Holy truth and majesty in a single raindrop
in a lightning thunderstorm
in a land quaking huricane
Joy resides in the silence of a loving heart
Bliss finds shelter in the compassionate soul

sympathetic joy

Oh to tell you I love you
the love bounds forth, frothing in ecstacy

Let us share these emotions
Let us jump into a relation of glee

Happiness rings the circle of truth
ever spinning with smiles

Passionately kissing and telling
eachother
this is of the true divine

I trust all is well in your travels. Thanks again for your insight and inspiration. I have been asked by others to be a personal trainer or coach. I have always put the idea aside, thinking all we need is within ourselves. This is true, as true as when I am honoring myself I honor the power and strength within you including the power to ask when I need help and seek advise from others in their strongholds. I may be a decent yoga instructor, you may be a decent coach, he may be a decent financial consultant, she may be a decent banker, others hold space in their own accordance to strength. May we follow our paths in order to provide a spoke in the wheel, an axle in the cycle, a flower in full bloom, also in recognition that it requires a whole village, a whole network, a whole universe of each honoring their delight and strength, in order honor, accept, and receive the blessings of others. I am connected to you, a bee on a sunflower, the moonbeam rising over the smoke, the simple gesture of hello, an honoring of divine light and sound. Thanks for being a teacher. "There are no friends, there are no enemies, there are only teachers." Now I realize the value of such a person. You are teacher, I am learner; I am teacher, you are a leaner. Gratitude to you and your path. May our paths intermingle in cyberspace, the physical, the mental, the emotional, the parallel. Let Go. Let the God you are Reside & Expand

Moving

Life is movement
How often are we aware of where our energies lie?
Where am I placing my attention - past, present, future?
attention - intention
a soft focus, with my heart in alignment with my power
I am here to serve, now in what capacity?
When I look inward, I am inspired to give unconditionally, without judgement, no expectations, without attachment to reciprocity
I desire to initiate inspiration
First, stay True to Spirit
Then, watch the flow
Follow the signs
Give and Let Give

create joy

step forward
jump in
awaken spirit
dance in JOY
