Move Outside of Your Circle

1 Reply

Today I heard of a man who has studied our habit of living within a set circle .  Many of us rarely

venturing beyond the circle on our own .  Instantly , it spoke to my heart .  I was suddenly

excited to hear more .

Is  the inclination to push  past my own boundaries a thread  in my genetics ?  Some may say it’s

a flaw in personality  . Restelessness  of foolishness  .

I say it’s joy !

Wanderings   spontaneous or planned ,   close to home or far away ,  brighten the heart’s  way .

This man  that I heard today , he found his way to experience life outside of his circle .

Hooray !

The Love Letter Continues

I thank God that this work , this passion , this challenge is a never ending thread .

Incorporating  spirit with the practicalities  of living .  It anchors me to the earth and to  the

infinite power

of love.

It guides me to live in this moment while releasing me to explore the unknown .

 

The Rawness and The Love

The rawness exposed rising up from my soul .

Shuddering in it’s innocence and slightly sweet in it’s song .

Dares to be a melody and not a lullaby .

And a glimpse of raggedy edges does not frighten  me .

They have been seen before .

The longing for smoothness may appear along with gentleness in your glimpses  .

There is nothing to fear .

In a moment , when a breeze becomes more , I choose to run along beside it .

Almost wanting to close my eyes  and only to feel …

the delight and the laughter

and then I am free .

When the Spirit is Free

 

 

A Whisper

Life , as strong she is , vulnerable like a whisper .

The notions planted in your heart , before birth or since , guide and question .

A melody in a moment  and a song for battle in the long , drawn out days .

Walking through scenarios attempting to break free .

A captured moment in the beating of your heart

lays claim to what will be done next .

The wildness in the unknown beckons and calls

stirring the mind and releasing all fears

Leap and leap again !

There is no one richer than the one with the full heart  .

The Visions of Wisdom

A stream of wisdom rises and  …

brings a  collection of visions  …

both new and old .

Is the song new or  a million years old ?

Gently  extending a hand , open and ready

to receive  the adventures .

The tales are alive

and go dancing in twilight .

Invite them for a spin

and the joy will flow .

Where Were You Born From ?

Where were you born from ?

Ancient plans in DNA and stars within galaxies too far to see ?

Sleep to see freely from ego and explore the boundaries

and to know the wisdom.

Accumulating and storing perceptions and insights to use in the travels ahead .

Step and step again again .

Clarity in my eyes

though

sometimes I can’t see .

 

 

Trusting the Uncertainty

Early evening standing near the shore and watching the water rolling in .  It feels like an act of witnessing , simply witnessing  , on this very fine night .  Occasional  bits of life  from the Sea or man left on the sand .  Will it be natural or will it be a harm ?

Early evening standing near the shore , feeling the strength of the Sea , and inviting myself to step back from the outer bits of life that call to  us to be small . There is freedom in a roar and peace as it recedes .

Not knowing what will be discovered as the depths of the living spirit rise to the surface but giving the uncertainty to trust is freedom as well . It is wise  to move towards the unknowing since that is where the boundaries are released and heartfelt exploration takes place . 

Where Does Your Heart Wander ?

Left alone  in the quietness  of the heart  and turned away from distractions ,

It is strong and sweet  .

Fearless towards laughter that is loud and the tears that  wait to flow ,

It is both  wise and naive .

Left alone in the quietness of the heart and  away from doubt ,

It is subtle though  not at all meek .

Close your eyes with love as the day has been done and watch your heart wander .

 

The Coziness of Our Beloved Earth

When she is able …

she will hold you gently amongst ancient trees , inviting you to hear their songs .

When she is permitted …

she will caress you with waters running free ….to clear away your debris .

When she is given notice …

she will reveal  miracles , sometimes in a place as small as a speck of light .

When she is respected …

her giving flows and flows .

Thank you beloved  Earth .

A Fiery Night

An invitation to awaken  by a dream …

to go willingly or not at all ?

I dare to go .

And please leave your mask at the door , should you choose  to join me .

Laughing wildly or holding poses ,

the steps are all the same .

Loving life is free

so why or why charge a fee ?
