Divine Voice.

back from the playa.
those are sad words to utter.
i thought i was ready to venture out. the dust had gotten the best of my monday madness.
and yet, here i sit, back in my own safe home, and i am missing the desert.
i am relishing in the feelings, in the sensations of playa magic.
Most of the week i felt empty. deep emptiness. Not necessarily in a negative way, like a lacking, or a desiring for something other than what was... more of just an awareness,--a sensation--of purity, of waitin... read more

Life moves so fast.
change. momentum. faster. faster.
the universe begs me to deepen. widen. breath bigger to hold more space. root more intensely into Earth to wary the storms.

They say the winds are wilder than ever this year. On the playa.
What a metaphor for this time in life. in history.
How does one stay solid in the storm?

preparedness. honkering down. of stuff. of self. of possessions. of heart.
Calling forth the reserves from the wee hour places in burnt out souls

How to even describe???
The magic of Bali brings me to tears .
every moment.
every day
every vision is a picture.
every interaction is a blessing.
every face is a buddha
every smile is medicine...
What a huge blessing---to once again get out of the USA and see the world as it really exists across the globe.
the purity of filters not faded by THE MAN.
the wisdom of traditions born of the earth and spirit sky.
I rested my head in paradise... magical vortex between father mount... read more

Lessons from the Dolphins

This morning, i swam with almost 50 dolphins. all around me. jumping. spinning.
so close and sweet we nuzzled in, just a nose length away--i could have reached out and petted her.
They took me along for a ride, and i fell into line--a part of the pod.
no separation. the formation was complete.
And i, as one, with the silence of the underwaterworld.

Diving deep into the turquoise blue
shards of sunlight pierce the ocean's skin
and the spaceousness around me--shows of nothing but liquid saphire
Returning to the mothership of neptune's warm embrace
my piscean soul knows nothing else
but this womb of the Earth
birthing babies with the dolphins.

And then i look down, and a mantaray slithers beneath me.
epic.

I jumped ship and swam for shore,
to be left there peacefully lying naked in the sands.
scortched by the sun.
no barrier between.
raw. open. spent.
as if on a deserted island, and i am the only one for miles, i dropped in
to such deep slumber
such deep ressonance
with my own inner truth:
that it is, precisely, in this stillness.. in the desert isolation,
with the warm wind whistling
and the ocean's arms lapping at the shore,
the sweet island sanctuary
that i feel most at home.
most at peace.
most at rest.
most at 'me.'
with the freedom to do nothing at all but just be..
and be beautiful.
Just be.
and already that is magnificant.

Remembering again and again
to reconvene with nature.
to resource my tired bones.
And live, like a queen
with nothing but a brown bikini.

mahalo for those quiet moments.
sans drama.
sans people.
sans expectations.
sans the story.
to lose myself in the essence of myself
being kissed and coddled by the island sun.....
and tingled from the joy of sweet dolphin play.

Creating Reality

Nouveau Nights...

A little glimpse of Me:

Gender
Female
Age
34
about me
Apparently, (says my sis) I am a paradox.

emerging...
deeply. rawly.
infinitely expanding at exponential rates..
everchanging
and in the flow of transformation.

not quite define-able. yet definitely reliable.
a mystery to some is a paradox for many.
i got gypsy blood and a grounded value.
with one eye ever on the horizon
one foot straddling the fence of new discoveries.
And one big heart rooted in what is real, and true, simple, and sacred.
Family. Home. Earth. Friends.
Real good ones. that stick around.
This is me.
as of today.
but check back tomorrow, cuz it may all just roll on like the ocean



gypsy moon, fire and light,
child of the earth,
daughter of creation,
see-er of visions,
truster of choices,
healer of sorrows and spirit.

But don't tell that to the underworld.. for at night, i moonlight with the ultra-est of gypsies...
a myriad of nouveau nightowls....
and another breed of soul is born out into the ethers
