Monday Offering...simple words

every answer

every tool

everything you have ever needed

or will need

is already inside you

every challenge you face

every struggle you endure

every heart break you feel

there is an antidote

already stitched inside you

put there when you were created 

to help you over come

to help you heal

to help you find your way out

all things have the yin and the yang

all things have purpose

all things matter

nothing goes un-noticed

you are a perfect creation

you surpass all time and space

you are perfect

you are strong

you are powerful

you are loving

you are harmonious

you are happy

You Are

Love and Light to you all

my Lovelies

inked...a weekend tease...

remember this post

after some requests

I thought I would tease you a bit

and give you a glimpse of what my tattoo artist

has been working on these past 6 weeks

I go for my -hopefully-final session this coming week
to shade in the colour and add a few more elements

old being wrapped by the new

becoming

one

beautiful

piece 

of art...
a true refection
of my soul

What
in your life
 is a reflection of you
 my lovelies?


Love and Light
(I took those pics myself, in the mirror, I had a hard time taking a shot of the roots but you get the idea)


adding this because it made me so happy this morning 
while I was
driving in the truck with the Puppy Prince
 on the way back from checking on the swans at the dyke...

Keeping it Real...

Keeping it Real with the lovely

Monica over at Ink and Chai

Every Friday 

Monica invites her readers to

"Share your own ups-downs, lows-highs, hits-misses, dark-light,
peaks-valleys, plus-minuses,
as we keep the blogosphere real."

The Ebb:


this week the ebb was found 
in the silence of practice
in the sleep of lost years
in the conflict with self

(remember her?) 

(4 baby robins hatched this week)


The Flow:


flow was found in gathering with sisters
the reading of wise women's words
new life in the back yard
am early morning bear cub visit
plans for summer
writing time in a coffee house
movement
words

"If you do not bring forth what is within you,
that which is with in you,
will destroy you"
~Jesus

we are-
"Women wishing to walk their walks a bit taller on the earth.
without apology"

"The tree that would grow to heaven must send its roots to hell"
~Nietzsche

"The unfolding of the human hearts is artful and mysterious.
We might wish the path to enlightenment were 
orderly and predictable, but the ways of the heart 
are a landscape discoverable
only in the journey.
We cannot capture freedom and place it in time.
For the mature spirit, freedom is the journey itself.
It is like a labyrinth, a circle, a flowers petal-by-petal opening,
or a deepening spiral,
a dance around the still point,
the centre of all things.
There are always changing cycles
up and downs,
openings and closings
awakenings to love and freedom
often followed by new and subtle entanglements.
In the course of this great spiral
we return to where we started again and again
but each time with a fuller
more open heart"


~Jack Kornfield
