Love Is….

A friend recently sent me this fortune cookie image in honor of Valentine’s Day… so I asked him how he would finished the sentence, he did (love is not for the weak of heart, which I agree, at first heart-break and at first sight, love seems to shatter one’s heart… breaking open the small limiting…

The Most Beautiful Thing

Childbirth. Menstruation Cycles. Did I confuse you with the title? Often, for whatever reason, in this society I was raised in… when one thinks of Childbirth and Menstruation Cycles they are not immediately brought to a sense of beauty, awe, wonder.  More like, “Ew, Yuck, Let’s not talk about it, Ruins your body, Gross, Blood…

Beyond Manifestation

What is the Name of the Game? Recently I was having lunch with a friend who I have had several deep conversations with.  We were chatting about life and what we have each been up to recently.  He is BIG in to Napoleon hill, which make sense considering they have the same birthdays, October 26th, such…

Through the Ages

Art by Autumn Skye Morrison ~ http://www.autumnskyemorrison.com/ There I was, sitting on my pillow on the floor of my room, wrapped in a blanket, crosslegged, back straight, deeply open, flowing, feeling, after one hour of practicing addithana (strong determination, non-movement) Vipassana Meditation… I opened my eyes, and looked at my hands… and they began to reveal…

For so long, we have looked outside of ourselves for answers, for saving, for truth. Now is the time – to look inside, deeper and deeper, the layers of the onion peel back, Each one revealing more and more who we are, what we are, where we are, how we are…. mmmm…. human beings –…

Being romantic about Death

I write a lot about death, I’ve noticed. Is it not the ONE thing that is guaranteed for us all? So I figure, why not take a closer look, see what it is teaching us. I started wearing this black ring around the ring-finger of my left hand. Where a typical engagement and wedding ring…

Sometimes I Write Myself A Love Letter

Hello Beautiful  ❤ Do you know that I see you?  I see who you are.  I know that you are so much more than your beautiful body, the golden sun-kissed skin, the freckles, the wide-bright-brown eyes, the large, lucky 😉 forehead, those bones supporting your entire body, moving you, connecting you, grounding you to this…

There I am, squeezed in at the corner for a small square lunch table, eating my home-made lunch with four elderly ladies in the Cloisters Nursing home.   One of the ladies being a Hospice Patient I have been visiting for months now.  There I am, in the middle of saying something, and the woman to…
