The Answer

Play with me Angel and show me the magic.
Let me play with your hair.
Let me hear your voice.
Allow me to hear the story and in it the answers.
Dance with me beyond the clouds,
and show me the stars that light your way.

Of these I have asked and of these I was answered....

I have
I do
I Will.

Distant Shore

Shadows may creep like a restless river
Rolling, advancing, pulling
The shore may fade further in the distance
smaller, seemingly untouchable.
The fog settles,
An endless mirage of sound and sightlessness,
smothering, choking, panicking
taunting my mind
Aggrevating my soul!
Demanding a voice that wouldn't speak!

Come on!

COME ON!!!! it fires

AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Silence settles back in

I dare to open an eye,
Then 2
A brief sequin of light barely visible
A momentary breath of warmth.

Oh?

Oh Yeah!

More glitter shimmering across my face
There it is an opening...a steady stream of light

I blink

And the mist is retreating back with shadow, waving and dancing
A smile raises upon my soul
The shore, more vast, more magical, more clear
rests beneath my feet.
The angels sing again
Setting us forth to another shore that needs our attention.

One Earth.

A Deep Breath

 I dedicate this to all the Lovely beings from our most gracious Teacher to the newest member, that I am blessed to share 2 evenings of bliss with every week. You have Amazed, Transformed, Inspired, Enlightened and Opened me in ways I can not adequately express. You continue to do so long after the beads of sweat have been washed away, unknowingly and effortlessly.
This is for you. This is how you make me feel.....

A Deep Breath

Early Evening, it is time
The body begins to awake
reaching, stretching for the I am
Acknowledging the heavens.
Touching heart.
The Love is awakened
Bow to the earth
I feel You
Above, Centre, Below
The I LOVE YOU in form

It starts a whisper beckoning.
The dream begins to play
Soft caresses within the ear
This is for Us
Mesmerizing hope,
a longing deep inside
A burst of colour radiates
The lights fall and the shadows disappear
The body no longer tied to time
Magic descends, Love flows forth
and she sings...and She SINGS
FREE!  FREE!!   FREE!!!
deep breath.......AAAAHhhhhhhhhhh
A sensuous wisp settles sending forth the spirit,
the life
Inspiration abounds, calm, open, abundant
leaving the soul window open
Open peace, Open eye, Open love, Open soul

Simply

Breathlessly

Lovely

Beliefs and Faith

Belief and Faith.
Most of us think that these two are synonymous. We feel because we believe in a set string of belief systems that it must show faith, must bring us closer to Source, I Am, God.
For me they are not the same. I feel Faith transcends Belief. Belief gives us a linear, physical way to try and bring us closer to the truth. Beliefs are and attempt to satisfy the mind, comfort our short comings (as we perceive them). Beliefs are designed to make us feel that we must be more dedicated. If we deprive our physical self of certain foods and substances we must surely be closer to God. If we smudge we must be clear of negative energy. If we follow a set standard of teachings we must surely be closer to enlightenment.
Beliefs can allow us to put responsibility on some outside force. The paradigm of humanity..take responsibility for ones self, but you can rely on ??? to do it for you because I have been taught that, or it is tradition.
Faith is not something we do. It is not found in texts, drawings, teachings. It has nothing to do with what we do physically, where we were born, our lineage. It is not laid out in ceremonies handed down or newly created, in dances, scriptures or in nature.
Faith lives in our heart. It is an infinite knowing that there is a higher power, consciousness, even though we can not say why we know it is a feeling that cannot be described; although many have tried. It is not something you can dress up, make more appealing, bend to the control of a select few. It simply just is.
I am not saying beliefs are not necessary to us. Often times we need them if only to find a faith that was there all along. I just find beliefs, when we allow them, can be limiting our individual experiences. How often have you found yourself, or someone else, refusing to entertain an idea because it goes against their beliefs?
Beliefs are often judged because it is out there for all to see, because your beliefs are different than mine. Our Faith resides within a space that can only individually be felt with a side of collective oneness.We believe individually that we have the answers (or some of them) we have Faith that really we know nothing, but we are divinely cared for.
We have allowed ourselves to think that attending church weekly, is showing our Faith. That deprivation and self induced suffering shows Faith, worshiping practises and gurus and idols shows Faith.
I Believe in humanity. Humanity can be very inspiring and can create magic when put to the test. I, however do not have Faith in humanity for it is dependent on individuals who can be less than inspired by their own individual potential for greatness.
I have Faith in the divine order. It cannot be seen or shown. There are not ceremonies. My Faith in the higher consciousness requires nothing more than for me to acknowledge it within my heart.
I Believe in a lot of things and the more I learn and see the more these Beliefs grow to encompass more. They are in a constant state of expansion. Beliefs can continue to expand or we can allow them to become set and stagnant.
My Faith, however, is constantly simple. It is an absolute. It is the one thing that regardless of new information, it remains. For me the Faith in an absolute being and plan has not wavered regardless of what my mind has learned. It is simple, unexplainable and constant. On a plane of existence where duality is ever present and is part of the experience, My faith remains the same, but my Beliefs for truth seeking is constantly evolving. I have Faith in something that is far more than we can comprehend on this plane of existence, and it is through this that all else comes.

I don't have Faith because I Believe, I Believe because I have Faith.

Past the fear

I like to push the bar every now and again. I like to take myself out of my comfort zone every once in a while just to keep things fresh. Tonight I am about to do that again. I am going to attempt something that I haven't  dared to do (again) in almost 20 years.
In this new adventure I wondered why is it sometimes we quite doing something we enjoy after recieving someones version of honest criticism and other times we just carry on?
Does it depend on how negative the opinions are? Is it our own insecurities? Is it that we then conform our view to then match their opinions? Is it all of these?
I feel perhaps it is all of these factors. When I stopped doing certain things I remember thinking that maybe I do suck, regardless of how many times I was told otherwise. I still have that.
Normally I listen to the criticism and take it at face value. It is only their opinion and if there is something there that I can use to improve what ever it is I am doing then great, if not so what. My day goes on and I continue......Until it is something that I am fired up about. I mean I am eating and dreaming it!!
And maybe that is the lesson.
Their opinion is only that and we are entitled to it, but perhaps we need to learn how to either keep those to ourselves or find gentler ways to present them. Maybe we need to learn not to be so judgemental of others or ourselves. Most of us don't expect perfection from others, so why do we expect it of ourselves?
Mostly I feel we need to show compassion and honor for the bravery of others who can step past the fear and dare to shine and pursue their passions regardless of the opinions of others, for when they do that they do shine! And in that process we all know that it starts within ourselves, now we need to actually walk the talk!
Tonight, as my body is entering a nervous fit and my mind is on overload, I will show myself that compassion and allow myself to break free of the fear and re-enter the one piece of my life that I could not quite stop, because I deserve that. I deserve to be free to do what makes my heart sing...we all deserve to break free of the fear and do what makes us shine with joy.

On the mark or off my rocker....

What a interesting reality we live in. Constantly in the throws of living in a mortal body with a finite mind and yet, gifted with an infinite personality imbued with a spark of the infinite spirit.
Each one of us in an eternal struggle to fuse them together. In that struggle we often hit on spans of enlightened thought. It rings true and set us in a cycle of awe. Unfortunately, what often follows is a feeling of being more than. We set out to say that We know the truth and You must believe and follow This way. Our minds set in to tell us that only certain people may know this truth, only by doing certain rituals may you be embodied with this truth. We then set our selves on a pedestal and call ourselves special. The draw back of religions. The assumption that there is only one way.
Each journey is personal. There is no right or wrong way and the goal is the same.
For me I find that I am not to get stuck in particular beliefs of the mind, of society. I must always be striving to adapt and shift in perceptions. What I held true yesterday is not necessarily what holds true today, or at least it has been expanded upon.
I don't have the answers. I do what I feel I need to do for me and yet I am able to expand that view to include all that are around me in a way that is not saying that this is how You must be, just how I must be in this moment.
Through all the pondering, changing, seeing, I find the art of feeling my way through has afforded me the greatest insights.
Whether I am on the mark or off my rocker I still feel that life on this plane of existence is about experience. The experience to know who You are and to experience who Everyone else is...whether we like it or not.....
I find I love it. :)

One Earth.

Imagine

Imagine I will
The expansiveness of life
Cosmic relations brought through me

Dream I did
Hearts openness to fire
Minds widen to rivers flowing

Imagine I will
Space unfolding, a new page turning
Truth is spoken beyond the silence

Dream I did
Captive audience transcending lies
Subjects teaming for new

Imagine I will
New eyes widening to tears unshed
A chorus of songs melodious

Dream I did
Wonders remaining to feel
Magic is at our fingertips

Imagine I will
Breath beyond body
Movement in unreality

Yesterdays dreams
Tomorrows imagines
Today I will.

One Earth.
