nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.

don’t tell me how to live my life
don’t tell me how to pray
don’t tell me how to sing my song
don’t tell me what to say

during my jog this morning, my heavy feet did not have my undivided attention as they usually do while i execute my mind’s goal. to my amazement, my heart took over and pounded away with a love for life that caught me off guard as it broke wide open only to pour out some of the love that filled it beyond capacity to make room for what’s to come. this ‘growing of the heart’ happens more often than not but it is usually while i am loving or dancing or driving or doing something i thoroughly enjoy. so for it to occur while i was running, counting the minutes until i am done and can sit down again, took me by surprise.
 
the emotional experience (while i am throwing one foot in front of the other) brought to mind all the beautiful individuals that make my world a brighter place to live. after all, my precious family and friends, the ones who have magically appeared in my life, allow me to love without walls, give me the courage to take risks without giving in to fear’s demands, bring me a little slice of heaven every time i crave sweetness, show me colors i have never seen and love me unconditionally for all of my wild and bizarre ways.
 
the past 4 months have been an amazing journey for me. what was supposed to be a one month hiatus of rest and play after a bout of serious burn-out turned into 16 weeks of unforgettable moments that slowly transformed my perception of reality. nothing happened as i expected. my plans were shot to hell. and i could not be happier for the way things have spontaneously unfolded. some times it takes stepping out of the day-to-day routine, releasing the grip on personal forecasts and allowing life to pave a path that resonates with who we have become so that we can shed our old skin and emerge with new eyes, restored awareness and an awakened passion for our capricious excursion.

may no man’s touch ever tame you. may no man’s reigns ever chain you. and may no man’s weight ever defrayed your soul.

words by ray lamontagne

you do not have to be good. you do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. ~

take me away

 trees

i wanna touch the earth
i wanna break it in my hands
i wanna grow something wild and unruly

i wanna sleep on the hard ground
in the comfort of your arms
on a pillow of bluebonnets
in a blanket made of stars

i wanna walk and not run
i wanna skip and not fall
i wanna look at the horizon
and not see a building standing tall

i wanna be the only one
for miles and miles
except for maybe you
and your simple smile
