Heart Songs...


I walk lightly
in the tender of
broken down
broken open
broken free
*
here
where Life gently presses upon me
keeping me still
keeping me silent


I have a story to tell
a great story
one that has placed me here
in this stillness
walking deep with Spirit
everyday a new adventure
in what this place has to offer
everyday feeling so fragile
and yet...
*
my time will come
the whispers promise this
but for now...
for now I sink into
the abyss
of Love and Gratitude


I feel all that is needed to be felt
I see all that is needed to be seen
I am
all that I need to be


and for now
that is enough...

Love and Light

Monday Offering...you are beautiful



"Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!"
~ Jesse J

My lovelies
on this Monday I offer you
these words of truth
never underestimate the importance
of your ray of light
no matter how dim or bright

Love and Light

Inspired...

Today
I was reading...
and became inspired
*
this is what poured out of me...

To Abide
to dig deep
to care fully for oneself
to be moved by the deep stirrings within
to listen for the whisper
to take in the sun
to sleep with the moon
to twinkle along with the stars
to Be
as the grass is
as the flowers bloom
as the birds sing
not because they have to
but because it is what they do
it is how they Be
following their nature
humans
complicated 
with flaws and brokenness
we forget
we forget ourselves
the journey is to go back to that
the place where creation began 
in our hearts
in our souls
when we stood with God
and He/She said
"It is Good"



Love and Light

(ps and yes that is something on my lens!!! showing my human flaws!)
