Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I am given unimaginable gifts;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.

Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes in itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game;
To play it is pure delight,
To honor it is true devotion........

Jennifer Welwood-

How does part of the world leave the world?
How does wetness leave water?
Don't try to put out a fire by throwing on more fire
Don't wash a wound with blood

No matter how fast you run, your shadow keeps up,
Sometimes it's in front.

Only full overhead Sun diminishes your Shadow
But that shadow has been serving you
What hurts you….blesses you
Darkness is your candle
Your boundaries are your quest
I could explain this but it would
break the glass cover on your heart
and there's no fixing that

You must have Shadow and Light Source Both

Listen... and lay your head under the Tree of All

When from that tree,
feathers & wings sprout on you, be quieter than a dove
don't open your mouth for even a coo….

You must have Shadow & Light Source Both

Listen… and lay your head under the Tree of All.

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength,
who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness,
who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. "
~ Anaïs Nin

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

As we open to ourselves, we open to the bigger picture.
As we offer ourselves love and compassion, we can more easily offer it up to another.
As we merge our bodies with our minds and hearts, we find that deeper state of Oneness
When we open our hearts to appreciation of what is
We find our future laced with joy.....

You are a child of God
Your playing small does not serve the world
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us
It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone
And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others….
