“To prepare for any struggle is largely a work of unburdening oneself. If you carry your past into battle, you are riding to your death. Austerity lifts the heart and focuses the vision. Travel light. A few ideas are enough. Every remedy for loneliness only postpones it. I wish you calm waters, Squire.”
~Cormac McCarthy, The Passenger

🩶 Circa 1972. I found this in my parents storage a few weeks ago. I had just noticed that it was trending a bit on Instagram and thought I need this! And the universe provided… Lol 😂

I’m enjoying to explore certain acupressure points from a new perspective of vibration. Super relaxing and it’s a whole body experience if I invite, explore and surrender to the frequency. My new obsession and I’m excited to try it on clients that are open to the powerful and healing benefits of Chinese medicine and vibration. 🪄 ✨

“Let the stars see you, let the trees see you, let the clouds see you. When you make yourself vulnerable and available to be seen by nature, it’s like looking in a mirror.”

………. I watch the grass peer
through the cracks.
Tenacious yet rogue.
The ice cold dip
in the waters
of reality
have never fed
my soul.
Now I must land
in these broken bones
and this spinning earth
and move on forward
as we all must.
The warm
but fresh wind
to remind me
of the change
of season to come.
Everywhere
the constant
birthing and dying.
I blinked,
and the once fresh leaves,
are now dry and lifeless.
The dirt path
comes to an end.
I look around
to the green giants
for advice on direction
but their voices
are too slow.
I face my shadow
and he too
has turned his back.

I miss
the fantasy.
The hallowed star
in the tunnel
of hope’s perfection.
The smell that
brought me back
to the young woman
who was filled with promise.
Although, if truth be told
she was also
a unique mystery
and often
overflowing with fear.
Perhaps the lesson here,
that life will always surprise.
Sometimes in the best of ways
and sometimes not.
But always
in pursuit
of love.

We hide
in the singularity
of our minds.
An archaeological dig.
Yet the secret is there
if we feel
into the sharp edged teeth
and the surrendered dust.
We are all
damaged perfection
of ancient stone.
And didn’t we know
it was never
to be found
or discovered.
As it is the quiet
of our ghosts.
Each night
I remind myself of this
and yet each morning
I wake like a newborn
and cry in confusion
into which world
and body I live.
Somedays I breathe lightness
and other days I haul stones.
And one thing for sure
not one
was like the other.

While the news tape
bleeds red,
the light grows dim
on society’s innocence.
And the spot light
shines on our marked pain.
Safety screams
from the bottom
of despair’s truce.
If only I’d opened the front door
and not the back window,
I could face it like a man.
My hands and feet escape
by the sounds of my youth.
The only beat
worth dancing.
The one that
coaxed me
off the edge
with the knowing
I could fly.

The gate was left open,
but only the dog
had the nerve to explore.
Like the fearless flowers
that bloom
because they know
nothing else.
I take my lessons
from all that is quiet
and humble.
It’s foliage is not perfect
yet it exists shamelessly
as Itself.

…………. 🐋
I ride the whale sounds
through the firmament.
Holding onto the star
I was born with.
The longing to be held
by the moon.
I lay in your beam
to feel your touch. 🌘

…….I Forgot My Name

Remembering
the time
when I forgot
my own name.
The small
and simple word
that represents
the entirety
of my being.
But what of my moods
that change
as often as the weather.
The stormy
and solemn.
The airy
and light.
The wind that carries
my desire to fly.
The ocean waves
that crash my petulance.

My essence
in a cage
of concrete?
Yet the wisp
dances
to the rhythm
changes of life.
The spritely skip
when I first meet
my firefly lover.
The Gemini
of ever changing faces
and names.
I’m all of it
and nothing at all
but the flow
of the sea of love.
No naming
the ineffable.
But we try.

Emptiness lies
in her floating
white cloud.
Eye closed.
Resting in the space
between sleep
and awake,
in Pureness,
before she remembers
she has a body
and a name.
