~untethering~

“The spiritual journey is one of constant transformation. In order to grow, you must give up the struggle to remain the same, and learn to embrace change at all times.” ~ the untethered soul, Michael A. Singer

Century Park, Suzhou

Fear not, little one, you’re on the right path. Although uncomfortable, keep moving forward and seeking difference. Change.

…as it is the only way to grow. 

Conjuring awe & wonder,

~perception~

Letting go of the past,

Nor visiting the future…

Living in this moment, trusting the intuitive heart of this soul to thrive and be gracious of the lessons learned during this curriculum.

The path has been dark, seated in shame with much suffering due to lasting attachment…a sorrow that only an ego permits, weighed down by personality & a thinking mind…not of my creation but a continuance of it, this perception which does not exist has been given life…

…freedom has always been present, it just seemed unattainable.

~goodbye, 2021~

 As I say goodbye to 2021, I reflect over the journey and feel elated. It has been such a challenging year, but with many bright moments. It’s hard to imagine that this time last year I was in Shanghai with my beloveds, full of hope and wonder of what the year was to bring.

As I contemplate what 2022 will bring, I realize the gifts from the universe don’t happen by chance. To learn the lessons is to move on and begin a new playlist. 2021 felt as though it was the playlist of 2020…

In moving forward on this final day of 2021, I embrace a new adventure that begins today rather than tomorrow. Deep within my soul is a yearning for my somebody/nobody-ness that resides within, awaiting to see the world for what it is, not what it should be.

As beloved would say, I am in love with what we are, not what we should be…

Thank you for the gifts 2020/21…i SEE you.

~reflection~

 Come as you are. 


Embracing my 'somebody-ness' when it shines through during parts of the journey.


I am learning to love this part of myself, mask & all!

~attachment~

 

"I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish... You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger."

                                                                                                ~Simone de Beauvoir 


Yangzhou, Jiangsu ~ China

As Ram Dass so eloquently put, "Don't get lost in the detail; let your awareness go free." 

~He makes it sound so easy!~

But the truth is, getting out of our own minds and narratives is just practice. Conscious daily practice of trying to see ourselves living within our masks and trying to be a 'somebody.' As it would turn out, that 'somebody' can be a cause of great suffering. Holding onto an image of who we think we are or who we wish we could be, an eternal attachment to a storyline over which we have no control over.

Look within. Be bold. Have the courage to let the narrative go...

~slowing down~

 We travel so quickly through life, just to get there...but where is there?

Let's take a step back and slow down. 

Live moments. Slow down enough to see. 

Embrace.

~making promises~

 

"To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. 
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. 
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

~Christian D. Larson

~the ocean~

the ocean,
its roar lulls me into the present moment.
with no meditative effort of silence,
i am already there.

inhale, 
feeling safe.
exhale,
thought enters.

heartbreak, 
distrust,
suffering.
the struggle of knowing where my own loyalty stands when being manipulated to believe the contrary.

chained.
you were meant to be my freedom-
...you had other plans for me.

your power is dark,
a reflection of your hurt soul only able to release fiery.
hurting the souls of others as you have been hurt,
a vicious cycle you cannot control...
a powerful weakness.

unchained,
the face of freedom shines in an unfamiliar way.
i wasn't ready for this, but the gods of this wondrous place work in mysterious ways.

in the end i have my freedom, but what of everyone else?
having my own freedom doesn't set free the guilt.
the guilt that i have left them, our united front one less warrior...

the ocean is roaring, yet whispering a single word:
forgive.
