Longing. July 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to the limits of your longing\u2026and jump in the clear blue waters\u2026know it by its taste and how the flavors dance upon your skin. Let everything happen to you\u2026 let those moments swim in you and around you as life markers on the trail\u2026into the undergrowth and up the trees for that sky view to remind you of progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To go or not to go.  April 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To go or not to go. The front door. Outside. Inside. It matters not, unless you can\u2019t decide. Waiting\u2026 for the right moment. The oracle of a doorway\u2026. Opening for a question. The oracle of a doorway\u2026opening for adventure. Pause\u2026silent tense listening with all your senses\u2026 The energy stream is rolling by and all you have to do is step aboard. The conductor beckons, calling out \u201cfree tickets,\u201d \u201cfree tickets,\u201d get your free tickets\u2026 Crisp suit\u2026steam vents puffing. All aboard the conductor asks. Yes! And you leap from the front door\u2026a mad dash to the train, the stream, the adventure path. OMG the smells are gorgeous, the colors wonderful. A kaleidoscope of goodness streaming past your consciousness. Sunlight and shadows, breeze and stillness, even the bugs come along for a ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you feel it? Everything seems to ask. Can you feel it? The aliveness pumping through veins of everything. Vibrational breath of life. The crispness of everything, like lettuce in the crisper or a fresh carrot plucked from the garden. Alive. The rocks are humming\u2026a real outdoor rock concert. Crowds of bumble bees zoom past, going for the best seats\u2026 Flower petals and leaflets, the softest swing and sway. Everything alive as trees tap their branches against the moon\u2026keeping time to the music. Its everywhere, can you hear? The beat and the jive and the juice. Its all around us, keeping track, keeping the beat, the jive, the juice. Alive. (To Go or Not To Go: Inspired by the pandemic and a season or two of sheltering in place)\u00a0<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom. August 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom sits in spaces\u2026drifting along\u2026tucked into sweet corners\u2026eclipsed in euphonies. Writers block they call it\u2026or maybe it\u2019s just the zoning out instead of tuning in\u2026.. Cauldron experiences are swimming in my solar plexus. Literally. When I drift into my headspace, in the attic above the mirror, there is a garage sale going on. \u00a0Vise grip claws cling like memory. Don\u2019t let me go! Seem the silent screams\u2026all ages and fast beating hearts. Looking at this pile before me, of freebies\u2026stuff sitting in energy pockets\u2026collecting dust, like the holding pattern of my soul. I realize I am free\u2026to step off the conveyer belt anytime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re Afraid to Get Started. October 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re afraid to get started….do it anyway. If a tree falls on your foot…eat clouds for breakfast and snack on leaves. If you find it hard to walk…ride a horse and dance through time. If you loose your way…find yourself. If you can’t find yourself…find a tree and rest until you do. If the trees stop talking…listen to the roots. If tomorrow time stands still…sleep in and dream. When you wake, remember the night rainbow and paint her stories in a book. If you can’t sleep, paint your toe nails and sing songs. If you’re tired of asking questions…answer them. If the questions stop breathing…listen to the song in your heart and follow that wisdom instead. If you want to stop…stop. If you find yourself sad…pick wild flowers and sing to the moon. (Inspired by the children’s book “If you’re Afraid of the Dark” 1979. Cooper Edens)<\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
