Oh yes, the beginning of the week.
So new and not the weekend it is.
Ready to step forward with these new shiny shoes.
Ready to make an impact and feel the wind on my cheeks.
As I move forward through this place.
I remember as a child wondering if we were all just having a big dream together
hmmm.......that was a pretty good thought for a seven year old
because sometimes it really feels that we are
I wonder where we will be when we wake up?
As a child I imagined it was on a small white cot with no blankets....all of us in a huge room sleeping on these cots.
Maybe now I will imagine us all invisible being the sky above, looking down on our bodies as we dream this dream.
I can imagine more I guess because I have seen more than I did at 7.
I wonder what I will imagine at 80?

Be Strong
For it is within you
The fibers of your muscles will grow
if challenged.
Be Strong
Your heart will work for you
pumping life through your veins
care for it well.
Be Strong
you are in charge of your thoughts
no one else can get into your mind unless you grant them access
Be Strong
it is all within you
we are all able to be
exactly who we chose to be
Be Strong
for when you can not do it on your own
rest assured that those who love you will be there
and you will always be surrounded
with exactly what you need.
Be Strong
be yourself, completely and your life will shine with brilliance
Be Strong
against all odds, use your gifts..they were given to you for a
reason...
Be Strong
and have a beautiful day, full of gratitude!
Kitchen Sink
Really now
Each time I think I have been blown away by something I get another dose.
This time unspeakable kindness, a gesture of such heartwarming proportions I can barely breathe from the sheer amount of gratitude that is filling my lungs.
It is like being at the beginning ride or the end of a marathon
Knowing that it will simply shift into something else
but I am sure to stop and bend down and smell the sweet perfume of these roses
Give thanks for each cell of my body each wave of my spirit each moment that should not be washed by.
The knowing that nothing is in vain, even if it takes a while to show up.
And can I vouch for the power of the moon?!!!!
When you call in the forces of the wind it is no joke....things move fast
and there is no mistaking the correlation.
So, deep within the hodgepodge of this post is story unfolding just exactly as it should.
I am so glad that I listened to those three little birds regardless of the circumstances
Even while cursing at my spiritual guides with frustration and tears...I followed the guidance and pushed on farther and like a wave crashing down, all of the pressure was released
and now I stand in the wake, stunned and engulfed in the golden, glistening light of the sun.
Today will be a great day!

hot bath
I am putting it all in the hot bath tonight
filling it with all that doesn't serve me
all that needs to soak it's way out
leaving me refreshed and relaxed and so put back together
I am climbing this mountain and know that the other side is near
remembering to look back at all of the hills and mountains I have climbed before
knowing they life will be sure to continue sending them
they are hard
and that means I am alive
and I am grateful for that....and looking forward to the next green valley
and I am not writing about the bath anymore
maybe I just needed to soak in the page a bit.
naaaa I'm taking a hot bath as well!

return
Waking up to a beautiful weekend.
I am reinvented
focused on the joy
the happiness
what is working so well
a study in energy
this writing a part of the equation
a shift of consciousness
perspective
can actually change the chemistry of the mind
the body
the spirit
and so I have returned
from a big ball of struggle
so happy to be in the flow
just in time
to scoop it all up with open arms and
allow it to become me
cell by cell
connection to it all
once again
remembering that it is like birth a little at a time
contract
breathe
patterning through
head showing them disappearing
then showing some more
this was just a very long contraction but a progressive one I'm sure

late night flow
As I sit poised upon a perch I wonder to myself how do these words come
......from where?
How does my hand remember how to hit the keys just right?
What part of my brain is working
What part of me is aware of what I am doing...for it certainly is not me
the me that I understand with absolute resolve
The me that I have been taught is me
Where does this stream begin
where does it cross over to that path of sea-ness
when do I become it
when it, me?
How does the hand know to stitch, or sew, or chop, or fluff, or drive a car, a plane
this is all a bit insane.
and yes, it's true, I've had some rum, and quite a bit of fun
but it is only lubricant for that which is different,
a stream, a thought a moment frozen in that illusion of time
that space of connectedness
that is us

Oh Sweet Manatee
I screamed with the true excitement of a child.
"Oh my God, there is a Manatee"
about four feet away from me...huge and sweet and just so big, gliding by like it ain't no thing.
Then it came up for air with it's sweet nose....
later in the day it returned again to say hello
a magical day in yet another magical place.
Can I take it?
Yes I can!!!
