And then there was light

Some people and places SHINE!

Until ->


Getting Over
Someone,
or
Something,
…is Hard…
…until…,
it isn’t

Inward and Outward Living ->


Love the Earth
and the Sun
and the Animals.
Despise riches,
Give Alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid & crazy,
Devote your income & labor to others,
Hate tyrants, argue not concerning god,
Have patience & indulgence toward people,
Take off your hat to nothing known
or unknown or to any man
or number of men,
Go freely with powerful uneducated persons
and with the young
and with mothers of families,
Read these leaves in the open air
every season of every year of your life,
Reexamine all that you have been told at school
or church or in any book,
Dismiss whatever insults your very own soul,
and your very flesh shall be a great poem
and have the richest fluency not only in its words
but in the silent lines of the lips & face
and between the lashes of your eyes
and in every motion & joint of your body…

~Walt Whitman

Let’s Talk About Sex…

I believe sexual energy is both primal and Divinely expressive. All living things contain sexual energy. Whether it is repressed or expressed, it still must be acknowledged.  Whether a life form feels universal connection or a simply a biological release is dependent on the focus.

To expand beyond what we are, we must open to the Divine.  Our partner, becomes both the key and the gateway.  By putting our attention on the energy that we are giving and receiving, we can amplify it. We create something that cannot be attained without a partner, beyond biological release and normal awareness. This amplification allows us to transcend our physical shells and step joyously into the realm of spirituality.

While orgasm by definition is the culmination of the act, the process is in fact, the key. Placing your awareness into another human, breathing as they breath, sensitivity to their response, and awareness of the shared mental state becomes  a celebration of the Divine. We transcend individual male or female form and become both.

Losing inhibitions and accepting what “is” becomes a journey in itself. There are no perfect bodies, there is no perfect moment. We all age, wither and eventually die. Illness and disease are parts of life too. They do not lessen the person nor the experience unless we choose to define ourselves by something that is as transient as a breath. Our lives, while important to us, have less universal scale than a molecule of water.  Our egos will place walls where none should exist.

I believe this shared sexual experience has the capacity to encompass the body and the Divine being. The time up to, and including, the orgasm can be rapturous. Our minds devoid of thought, enable the ego to disappear and we become pure consciousness. This state of consciousness opens a channel through which a connection to our body,  souls and ultimately the Divine become possible.

Here, Here and Here

I see things. Layers of things. This place, possible places and always the universal connection.

I believe we are all connected, and separateness is only a mental illusion. What I do for you, I do for myself, for everything else and the universe. I believe a heartfelt act of kindness ripples though the entire cosmos. To give or receive with humility, gratitude and love is an honor granted to us by the Divine.

I believe we are all directed by the Universe to care for each other. Maybe some are born able to see light and joy while others must search for it. I know, that at times, we ALL need a soft, loving and unconditional place of acceptance.

It is puzzling, that unconditional acceptance and love, are put into restrictive confines. Filtered, processed, suppressed, ignored, redefined. Unconditional, truly is that. I see the divinity, I feel the connectedness. Whether the outstretched hand is ever grasped, or even seen,  makes no difference, it will remain a loving offering from the universe.

Love to all,

Change ->


Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself

Rumi on Devotion ->


Gamble everything for love,
if you’re a true human being.
If not, leave this gathering.
Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
You set out to find God,
but then you keep stopping for long periods
at mean-spirited roadhouses.

The sun is Love.
The Lover, a speck circling the sun.
A Spring wind moves
to dance any branch that isn’t dead.

Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom
and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us.
We taste only sacredness.

I have lived on the lip of insanity,
wanting to know the reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I’ve been knocking from the inside!

Dance, when you are broken open.
Dance, when you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absentminded.
Someone sober will worry about things going badly.
Let the lover be.

I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.
Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let’s buy it.

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you’re not here, I can’t go to sleep.
Praise God for these two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

You that came to birth and bring the mysteries,
your voice-thunder makes us very happy.
Roar, lion of the heart, and tear me open.

“Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there”

Connectivity

Uncountable heart strings, tying us to each other, to the earth and the universe. We are as intertwined as a raindrop in the ocean. Be good to each other, we are all connected in love.
