Freedom

           When i loosen the hold on the mirror in my hand it’s easy notice  the heart muscle relax . The stories in the image that I see could change when they are set free .  Those stories ask me for freedom from time to time and I consider  it for a bit . And then it’s time to explore .

There is delicious laughter to be had and it’s free though sometimes there needs to be a reminder to seek it out . Then , of course , is the courage .  It’s magnificence can go unnoticed if you can imagine . It’s so dear and sometimes life changing . You may only notice  it’s friend  known as fear but courage often slips in quietly and opens a door . And there is freedom .

Heartbreak  has it’s own odd rewards .  It might  bring you to yourself and it might twist and turn you until you know that you can set it free .  Tears create comfort in their  release freeing you heal nearly unknowable woes .

When you clearly there is love and know it as a true companion you are free .

Imagine what Dreams May Come

It’s so hard as you imagine it to be.  Vulnerable and at ease , cozy in a soft , upholstered  chair .  Classical piano sounds drift down the corridor from the radio left playing in the kitchen . Permission granted and there go the eyelids gently closing . A delicious nap and mid afternoon dreams to soothe the worries …

I’ll Meet You Where You Are

I’ll meet you where you are and from there  we can grow  .  I’ll meet you where  you are  and see where it goes . Offerings  of knowledge and  experience to go .  Learn as you will while I hear the hurting   in your questions and see trust opening a door  .

When we meet in  compassion it  leaves us room for laughter . And a song or two  later and some sweet stories come to life .  Suddenly we meet in new places of shared learning and expanded thinking .

Opening the door more and more until you are meeting me where I am .

 

Restless Ego

Moving through the restless ego and the dearest friend of a lifetime in spirit . The journey of the  creative heart unfolding , it’s whims and battles within the mind and soul breathing . It is the dance and awakening and release that fuels yearnings . in the deepest, slow breath intimacy with a mystery is realized in the creation of art and use of words . Together they sing . 

Hello Dear Moment

Immersed within your power , swept up by it’s swirling energy of love and wishes , anguish and courage . It’s ending transforms the spirit . The moments that we are given …to build upon our wisdom and enrich our hearts with spiritual  freedom .

do we bring them into action or observation ? Or both ? Do we welcome them into our hearts to live ? Or are they pushed into places of dispute and into corners to grow cobwebs and carried like a weight ?

These moments given to us as magnificent beauties slip away quietly . And a precious few grab hold  and let them be sweet .  The others  will appear when it’s required . So thank you dear moment . You are dear.
