Return to yourself…

You have been forced to enter empty time.The desire that drove you has relinquished.There is nothing else to do now but restAnd patiently learn to receive the selfYou have forsaken for the race of days. At first your thinking will darkenAnd sadness take over like listless weather.The flow of unwept tears will frighten you. You have traveled too fast over false ground;Now your soul has come to take you back. Take refuge in your senses, open upTo all the small miracles you rushed through. Become inclined to watch the way of rainWhen it falls slow and free. Imitate the habit […]

Your Soul –

This is your friendly neighborhood muse reminding you that your soul needs attention. Away from logic, from reason, and for God’s sake away from THOUGHT. Your soul rejuvenates when you follow your bliss, indulge your whims, wander in wonder, acknowledge your deeper truths even when they’re uncomfortable or inconvenient. No amount of sleep helps if it’s your soul that’s tired. When you seek time out of time in the places of true meaning for you, your soul rests. You align. You come home. Allow. Allow. Only you can say “yes” and “no” and “this is sacred ground so do not […]

You’re a Peach –

Once upon a time a video saved my life. It showed me, for the first time, my spiritual trajectory and practical purpose. It was all about love. Love. Beginning and ending with self love. Leo Buscalia looked straight into the camera, straight into my soul, and told me “You can be the ripest, juiciest, world-class, award-winning peach, and there will still be people in the world who don’t like peaches.”   Well said, Leo. For most my life I was a chameleon. I would bend and contort myself to make people feel at ease, and in the process I would […]

Cast a Big Shadow…

A teacher once told me “if you carry big light you cast a big shadow.” Simply put, if you’re actively trying to make a difference in the world, charge it with enthusiasm or inspiration or light, there’s work to be done in the unconscious. Wherever you relegate the unwanted aspects of yourself, there lies both opportunity and treasure. “Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.”– Joseph Campbell Somewhere along the way shadow aspects have got a bad rap. Weakness, vulnerability, tenderness, doubt, Selfishness, judgment, impatience, anxiety, depression, anger and yet if you think about all of the ginormous strides you […]

Lying down…

Sometimes you just gotta LIE DOWN. No matter how brave, how stalwart, how true…sometimes you just have to surrender and let the world have its way with your raw, burning heart. Oh it can’t have your soul, or your worth, or your peace. But it can have your heart, because to live any other way than vulnerably whole-hearted is a denial of your most authentic nature. And sometimes that kind of wide open love requires stillness. Surrender. Gratitude. Even when things are sucky. Even when they are hard. Especially when they seem impossible. Like right now. The world is burning. […]

when you’re tempted to give up….

when you’re tempted to give up to not believe go to the ruins of all you once held dear and marvel at the person the brokenness has created you, in the center of all that’s failed like a phoenix burning free unleashed into new life you are the ancestor of the woman you will become she is sending gratitude to where you stand now your ruin ignited her future Into a blaze of possibility – Angi Sullins .

Packing for Oz

Dorothy stopped by today for sarsaparilla tea she brought snapshots from the road and a munchkin cake for me while i packed my Oz-bound bag and checked it’s contents twice she prepared me for the trip dispelling this advice: Munchkinland is great for sites the rainbows good for basking never ever in the woods take apples without asking watch out for houses falling and a wicked witch’s ruse stay away from any type of gem-encrusted shoes! be warned of paths that lead astray keep to golden bricks be leery of a wizard’s vow and his big black bag-o-tricks! pay heed […]
