Goodbye....for now

So this blog has fallen by the wayside a bit.  But I promise I've been writing...other things.  My focus has shifted as I've been given a gift - the opportunity to start and teach my own Mind, Body, Soul program for kids, Bright Soul Kids.  This is my Purpose and my Dream.  I'm still pinching myself.  And I'm diving in heart first.  Soon I will be launching my Bright Soul Kids blog.  I will be focusing, but not limiting, myself.  Sacred Communication has been a period of growth and exploration for me.  For that I am grateful.  But I assure you that by no means am I done growing and exploring!  There are cycles within and without cycles for all of us.  The beginning of one often means the ending of another.  I'm ok with that.  As a farewell gift, here's a poem I wrote about perhaps one of our greatest cycles-life/death.  <3 <3 <3  Brightest blessings to all you beautiful souls!  I'll catch you on my new blog.  Stay tuned for details!  In the meantime, enjoy!

There is a revolution

                    against decay
                             rot
                                 dust
We are refusing
          this natural order
Not botox
          not pilates
                   no war on free radicals
Our rebellion is an embrace

Nourished we grow

  we nurture until
          we only have enough for ourselves
   until our skin is so thin           we don’t even have enough for that
 

By then, it’s been so long

          since we’ve given
  we decide to make nourishment
                                      our last act of love

We lay our bodies down

          and offer what we have left to the Earth
                                                                   to grow a tree
                                                                   to grow a ship
                                                                   to grow a home
                                                          to grow a breath
                                                to become the whisper of
                                                          the Divine

There is a revolution

          of our planet
                    of our planet around our Star
Freedom is found in transformation
          of our turning to a twirl
                    of our spinning to a spiral
Our rebellion is a surrendering
                             an act of Trust
                                      in Perfect Love

A Valentine

Om mani padme hum

 

Within

the Lotus

there is a

Jewel

Without

the Jewel

there is still

the soft petals

of a breath-catching flower

 

Within

my Body

there is

my Soul

Without

the Soul

there is still

the perfect fleshbloodboneswatercellsmoleculesatoms

of Divine Creation

 

Within

the Heart

there is

Love

there is no Without

there is only Within

 

and when I wander

seeking to be empty

proclaiming myself loveless

the farther I walk

the deeper Within I travel

until I can only come home

to Love

 

Within

and

Without

there is only

Love
