let it shine

June 25, 2007
this girl is wisdom and beauty. she is grace and magic. she moves with a pulse that crumbles mountains and overflows oceans. she walks with her heart ten feet in front of her and stands stronger than the most enduring of castle walls. she is light and love. she is exultation and exhilaration. she holds an outstanding place in my heart, as i'm sure she does in yours, too...

A warrior of the heart -

"I think vulnerability is a highly under-rated ferocious skill
and one of few that ever move Anything toward getting Anywhere.
I think it takes more cojones than acting too cool for school
or playing games....."

Questioning the Questioner

What it is the wise seek,
cannot be accounted for.
How can you quantify breath?
or
put a price on God?
*
When have you ever
seen
peace
sell its wares on the open market?
Is love a beggar you shun?
Is joy a lover you've begged to stay?
What do you make of lonliness,
both yours and mine?
And, if you were to land in a field of knowing
only you,
Would you set up camp,
or flee
to far away plains of
coffee stained mundane-safe existence?
*
Things of the earth, taste of earth...
warm, red, silt and grain, salt and grass.
You and Eye.
*
There are many things I do not know, my dear,
like the sound of the abyss you find yourself in
these days, or how
these seconds have turned into years.
But I do know what cries a broken heart makes,
and I do know what songs
are my sutures.
I know that I live deeply in my bones,
and my skin a home I inhabit from the inside out.
I know that I crave the touch of God's sweet cheek, but when I
fall to my knees with my face in my OWN hands, I
find it.
And simply
Simply,
all I have to give on this walk, this parade of prayertitude
is this
everbeating
forever feeling
open
heart.

The Labyrinth

Well, some people DO hide and others SEEK.

Maybe those who are in hiding - escaping encounters, avoiding surprises, protecting their property, ignoring their fantasies, restricting their feelings, sitting out the Pan pipe hootchy-kootch of experience - maybe those people, people who wont talk to rednecks, or if theyr're rednecks wont talk to intellectuals, people who're afraid to get their shoes muddy or their noses wet, afraid to eat what they crave, afraid to drink Mexican water, afra... read more

Now, I dont mean, by snorts, that Im going to hire some ex-coke heads or junkies, or even current coke heads or junkies... although that would be something, wouldnt it? .. but I was thinking.. what if ...

We could: "Change the world, one laugh at a time?"

I dunno, what do you think?

Today I danced a dance with Gaia
Skin upon dusty earth
On the edge of the field of my own belonging.
Knowing that without the shadow of a shadow
Of a doubt
There’s always ground to hold me.

Feeling the expanse of this state of grace I seem to find myself in. –
Contacting self with each step, into
Beauty and patience unfolding before me in a spiral dance of allowing -
while fear and excitement play the same moves like backstreet bookees in a dark alley,
dissolving murky d... read more

Soul-stice
This one profound.
I was asked to take part in a ritual on the land where I am staying in Ojai, CA
Some of you may know this spot.
Rumored to have many powerful lay lines.
Krishnamurti came here back in the 20's believing it to be a most sacred "power place", thus setting up the Ojai foundation, various schools, and gathering quite a following. He spoke out against having such a following- in his old gentle way, referring to himself as the "speaker". He denied that he was t... read more

Find the girl that smells like rain.
Her eyes will sing you songs
of saffron
of curry and musky
hookah bars and
desert caravans -
of far off places not so far
of mystics
and the mythic.

These are within you.

Unhook your heart from the cupboard you have been keeping it safe and
sound
the alarms of your impending freedom.

Tune into the knowing that you have always held
in the shadowed recesses and folds of your remembering.
Ask God to illuminate the breadth of the lov... read more

about me
Resistance is a beautiful teacher. Learning.. always. I am fire-y, I laugh at all my jokes, I fall in love easily - but I love big. mmm. Sometimes I am a warrior. Sometimes I am tough. Sometimes soft (alot).. And sometimes I am brilliant beyond belief. yeah. What a difference a day makes.

Show me what's real... tell me your truth. I line up behind that. This is how we really love each other: building our capacity to hold what is true, what is real - without judgement or shame.

I like to take myself out on dates... often. I'm good company. I request the best table, and have them light the candle. I write love poems and mythical stories on those dates. I am a hopeless lover of love really. Dont tell anyone. I read novels in bars too.. on busy Friday nights. Looking like a dork is good for the soul.

We have the power to affect others just by how we walk into a room, to what depth we look into another's eyes. These things change people, affect their soul, can re-arrange their DNA. I am a yes to magnificence.

It takes a village... of mirrors.

And sometimes the universe asks us to be unreasonable...throw reason right out the window... yeah, sometimes I'm unreasonable because i believe in big magic, in spite of myself or falling on my face at times. Again and again, unreasonable in love, unreasonable in vision, unreasonable. Hopeless? nah.
