what we ache for
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010we ache to touch intimately what is real,
to find the marriage of meaning and matter in
our lives and in the world.
we ache to feel and express the fire of
being fully alive.
when we cultivate and refuse to separate those
essential expressions of a human soul
~ our spirituality, sexuality, and creativity ~
we feed the fire of our being,
we find that place where
the soul and the sensuous meet,
we unfold.
willing to do our creative work and
refusing to separate it from
our sexuality or our spirituality,
we add a life-sustaining breath to the world.

it is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts.

the beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous. then life has a newness, a youth; then life has a flow and freshness. then life has so many surprises. and when life has so many surprises boredom never settles in you.

when we are young, the words are scattered all around us. as they are assembled by experience, so also are we, sentence by sentence, until the story takes shape.

give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.

i do my thing and you do yours. i am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. you are you and i am i, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful.

morning musings
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009 
waking up as the sun
slowly crawls out of bed
to unveil its dim light
into my room
through thin crevices
of thick curtains
while my body
unmoving
lazily lays
under heavy blankets.
dawn whispers
deep secrets of the world
into my ears
trying hard not to awaken
my unopened eyes.
remains of
sweet dreams
linger in the silence
inviting my quiet mind
into the seductive garden
of play
without abandoning
the innocence of truth.
living from the inside out
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
at one point or another, we all take life for granted and begin moving through the motions rather than existing with purpose, as intentions vanish and our very essence is temporarily forgotten.
then, out of the blue, someone or something comes along to kindly remind you that life is meant to be a brightly-colored journey full of adventure that keeps you coming back for more. doing things just because you have always done them or because it is all you know is no longer enough. a yearning to feel the fire inside rekindles your burning desire and you suddenly realize you can, at any given moment, remove from your life all the things that are not bringing love to your heart and invite only those things that nurture your soul and vividly saturate your world with shades you have never known.
everything leading up to this moment was merely preparation for all that is to come. you do not want to waste time on petty things that have absolutely no meaning. you learn to love as if it is the only thing you are here to do, holding those people who truly matter close to your heart and soaking up every second you have been gifted. your tender heart aches for permission to open, your truth is peeking out from behind your mask and your soul sets itself free from the lonely cage by which it has been imprisoned.
you are done pretending. artificial actions no longer fit into your vivacious universe. that, in and of itself, is beyond any words that can be spoken.
