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.

"There is no remedy for love, but to love more"
Henry David Thoreau-

"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more."
Erica Jong-

"It's time that we saw sex as the truly sacred art that it is. A deep meditation, a holy communion and a dance with the force of creation."
Marcus Allen-

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, "you owe me." Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole world...
~ Hafiz

"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

"The important thing is this: To be ready at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you could become.”
~ Charles Dubois

"You are incredibly young. You have time.
Start aiming your desires and making your choices
big and small based on what sort of energy, people, beauty,
art, orgasms you want to drench your life.
The world will respond,
the divine will always answer, not all at once,
and almost never in the way you expected.
Read your ass off. Fuck like you mean it.
Plot your soul's exit strategy from cube-farm hell.
You will pump that raw magic into the world's
bloodstream eventually, fear not. It might take ten years
to get moving, big deal. Time is a trickster, lay the foundation now,
log your dreams, pray yourself wide open,
surround yourself with the heat of the possible.
Patience, dear one.
Go easy on yourself.
~ Mark Morford

"Carefully watch your THOUGHTS, for they become your WORDS. Manage and watch your WORDS, for they will become your ACTIONS. Consider and judge your ACTIONS, for they have become your HABITS. Acknowledge and watch your HABITS, for they shall become your VALUES. Understand and embrace your VALUES, for they become YOUR DESTINY."
~Mahatma Gandhi

“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….
