The Mist Lifts

The Mist lifts......once again I feel myself in my life, in my body, in my mind, yet outside it

The Mist that occluded my sight, now parts and disappears......it shall come another day

Next time, Mist, I promise to allow you to envelope me as you teach me about my own....wisdom

Next time Mist, I will speak profoundly of the deeply gifted visits you have bestowed upon me.

As you lift, Mist, so does my spirit,and I thank you for your brief, yet intense sojourn....once again.

The leaves.....leave

I found many leaves this weekend while walking gently upon the wooded body of my mother Gaia.

These leaves that leave their  lofty post each year and float down to the hard ground, resting there, rotting....and in their rotting, providing a lush beginning for other life, other organisms that will feed upon them. How noble a cause, how peaceful an existence......to shade us all for many long, hot and steamy months, and then to gracefully fall, fall down to depths unknown. In the falling, new life is given the chance for an existence also.

Thank you, feathers of the trees, for honoring your station in this life... cycle after cycle, year after year.

We can learn so much from your graceful exit, your inspired leaving, your honor of your purpose and your mission.

Ah, to be like the leaves of the trees.....

what cost the sacrifice?

have you given all you got?

feel a kinship to Lot?

turning your cheek to the daily assault

only to find your self drowning in the salty

reality of your tears?

yep, me too........until NOW

  in the dark, growing in the peace of not knowing

upon my face has been etched a weary scowl

today I release it and send it off flowing

to its destination far from here

i make my own choices today

even if they are the wrong ones

i honor the act of getting out of my own way

i will wrote a new script and toss the re runs

and make clean my life accounts now in arrears

onto the task of righting the scales

off to the life I own

  i am not defined merely by my tales

and my gifts are sharp and honed

i take the unknown as a companion, constanlty near

Homage to the DanFam

The perfect song, again!
Our moon mother has just been full, the earth is cooling, and autumn closes in a bit early this year.

I missed you all as I was recovering from a nasty attack of viral venom for a long 6 days!

Knowing I would return to the comfort and support of those who love me unconditionally was a great incentive for me to take good care of myself. I have learned over the years that when I do get sick, I need to honor the time it takes to heal. I flat out refuse to expose others to my illness, I will not subject another person if I can help it. That is how I ended up sick in the first place!

So, this is a brief, yet heartfelt THANK YOU to my family of the heart and soul. Who we are and what we have allowed ourselves to become in synergistic magic is such a gift.....one I cherish EVERYDAY!

This is my homage to you!

Wait, I'm Confused...

Love passes us by
Flitting fast like a bird
Caught in the wind....
struggling

Illusions, deceptions, connections

severed

Promises dying in the ditches

of disassembled relationships

Pain and process piercing
The armor we thought we had shed
when we said "I love you"
to another person

It seems the person who needs those words

is me

Did I forget to love myself?

Confusion.....I see through you NOW

A Decision To Love.....

 LOVE is a decision, unconditional.....and a decision can change, or not.

Today, the message reached me before the song......but, of course, the song fits into the space created for it long before the awareness of the message was mine......

I spent a beautiful, long weekend with my family......one of those people is my daughter's significant other who, unfortunately, owns the ability of not living up to his potential very often. This reminds me of my first marriage....the similarities really are mind numbing at times. To see my daughter going through much of what I did is difficult and I know the pain she must feel. However, I also now know that she makes a choice to stay in that place, just as I did long ago. I am pleased with who I have become later in my life, and I now honor that which did not kill me, even though at times I felt close to death's door in one way or another. I am secure in the fact that she will make the decisions she needs to make at any given time in her life, I taught her that lesson.

I made a decision to love him long ago, because she does and he is the father of my grandson, and because this is the way I wanted it to be. I realize that he made a decision that was STUPID and shows he cares more about himself than others still, and that he STILL needs to GROW UP. However, he makes his decisions and I make mine, Emily makes hers and so on to infinity.

I know that I love a person who most likely does not love himself as evidenced in his careless ways. I continue to love him, and at the same time, I would love to kick his ass! Butt.......until I decide not to love him, he has my love whether he honors it or not.....some day he may deserve it, or some day I may decide to not love him. As of now, I hate his behavior and his lack of compassion and common sense. He made a really inconsiderate, ego based decision that could impact his family in an awful way......stupid HUMAN!

And, yet,  I love him.....because love is a decision, not an emotion.

Settle For Less?

What is settled can remain undisturbed for a very long time. Have you settled for a certain way of life in the past and this needs to be re-examined?  Do you need a good soul stirring, a reconnection with your true self? Guess what, your true self shifts and changes and grows....when is the last time you checked in with you???

Perhaps you need to disturb what has settled, just a little bit?

Over this long weekend as you gather with friends and family, find some time to gather with YOU. Have a conversation with this friend of yours.........you may be surprised what you discover!

Sent with love!

Create Crap or Peace...

Good Morning.......

Mourning the morning?
Dismal Day before it begins?
Are you powerful enough to create crap even before your feet hit the floor?

Yes, you are!!

However......you are equally as powerful in creating PEACE and calm
Even before your feet hit the floor
A choice is yours each new day!

GOOD MORNING!

That is all........
