swim in the blueness

a deep, dark blue
so certain
so sure

sturdy
strong
positive.

a dive down deep
takes us there
sparkling under the water
like tiny flecks of silver
twinkling about
moving in liquid
rushing past our open eyes
wetting our skin and hair
and one with the blood that rushes through our veins
the same blue
the same mystery
the same magic

we swim
kicking with powerful legs
powerful lungs
powerful arms
and good
red hearts
pumping to sustain us
and allow us to feel life deeply.
swim on.

TATTOO TOTEM

bringing it up strong
with the force of the wind
energy streaming in from the sun

twisting and turning in playful magic

swirling through each day

revisiting the spot of knowing

holding strong
and
steady

truth and trust
at the base of my spine
love in the middle
and God at the top

my tattoo totem

Good Night

Return to blue
that calm
peace
tranquil
and flowing
cool
gentle
mine.

space
quiet
appreciation
and
gratitude

breathe
in out

and back again

a weekend journey
full of fun destinations

landing home

solid
footing
all
together
ready for a sweet
summer
Sunday
night's
sleep

Yum! Yum! Yum!

Sometimes the simple pleasures are enough to bring a tear of joy to your eye.

Like, Ben & Jerry's ice cream in a pint off a counter top with a 3 year old dressed up like a princess and 1 spoon. Total bliss can be found in tiny daily moments. I vow to take them in!

For my Friend

I know this woman whose eyes harbor a world of light and love.
They glisten in the moon light and dance around the fire.
The warrior has been awakened and she is almost finished with the battle.
She feels strong
and empowered.
For once the last dragon has been slayed the magic flows in like a wave.
It sparkles all around. Encircling her head.
Her presence is big and she was chosen by spirit to have her head up close to the heavens.
Her feet firmly on the ground. She can hear the voices of the angels up there and brings their soft, loving, guidance down to earth.
Her height is part of her glory
She knows that now
owns it
walks proud
as she should
She has been chosen to guide
and she will
with grace
and the knowledge that she is good.
She has been crowned with the power of self.
She will trust herself
as she is scooped up by the great Mother spirit and the great Father spirit
She will feel the universal, unconditional steady pulse of love that she is.
There is a new, loving presence that surrounds her.
Protects her
and reminds her to hear only the beautiful words
As she listens
she heals
and fills up with that magic light and strength
she is one with the beauty of herself
and it feels so good.
She is brave
It is hard to take that leap
the leap of faith if you will,
but once you begin the process there is no turning back
it continues to build and the lightness you feel will offer that peace
the peace that you have been searching for
sleep well in that restful place
of comfort and knowing.
Namaste my friend.

awareness

Simplicity in direct intentions.

I continue to be amazed at how quickly a transformation can take place when you simply make space for it.

Awareness easily difuses frustration, impatience.

Surrender to what is happening .

do not try to make it something else

it becomes easy

like a release after a long, deep breath

I feel refreshed
rejuvinated
and excited to pass through this moon

Today

Today i was defeated. By impatience.

I was not at all Zen, or at peace or feeling the love.

But that is ok.

I guess that is part of the lesson.

To remember your humaness.
