I felt so much I was on fire.
The flames of sorrow were everywhere,
dancing and gyrating inside myself
until I finally let go and my being was reduced to ash.
The ash fertilized the soil and I reformulated into newness --
light and airy
with wings to fly
and joy to share.
Run not from the flames of life!
Enter the purification fire free of fear,
there is nothing to burn but sorrow
in the land of love.

I was babysitting two little kids (little boy, little girl)
and while we were sitting around the kitchen table eating snacks, little girl (age three) mentioned that I (meaning old lady moi) was going to die (referencing previous conversations where we had talked about how old people like me with wrinkles are usually closer to death than young people), and I agreed with her, elaborating I would likely die first, look at all my wrinkles, then she wanted to touch the wrinkles on my face so I let her, then I went on about how some people believe our souls live on after death...
Little boy then interjected, asking,
"What's a soul?"
One of my favorite topics, so off I went, explaining, well, soul is what exists before birth and after death, you know there's this awareness, this consciousness of "I am little boy," and then there's your physical body with its brain and its mind thinking "I am little boy," but then there's this vastness outside and inside of yourself that is aware that you are a little boy....
that's the soul. I continued on (blah, blah, blah),
now, some people say there's no soul, and that's ok, I just agree to disagree with them, after all, this is all just belief, opinion, not provable scientific fact.
In the middle of all this verbal outpouring by me, I asked little boy (age 5), do you really want to hear all this, and he replied firmly, "yes."
What fun! Life and death, and life after life conversations at the kitchen table with two beautiful little souls that grace my life.

I am of two minds,
one is grounded and practical,
planning out the day's chores (fold laundry, water plants, etc.).
The other one...well...allow me to explain...
it is as if my consciousness,
my awareness,
has been hurled out into space,
and then it breaks into a million luminescent sparkles of light
and disperses across the galaxies
and then falls to earth in an array of light beams
and lands in my brain.
Now that's just plain crazy.
Gotta laugh.
Laughter keeps me sane.

I want to fly to the highest skies,
I want to swim to the deepest oceans,
I want to hear the song of creation singing in my heart.
Oh how sweet is the breath of life!
Oh how sweet is the feel of touch!
All around I see swirling chaos,
but inside is the peace of a simple flower.
All of creation sings in a single bloom.

I woke up this morning
and made a promise to myself:
today will be a beautiful day.
Everything I do,
I will do with quiet joy --
no rushing,
no worrying...
just graceful floating,
gentle touch,
grateful thoughts ....
today will be a beautiful day,
come what may.
Evening Review
So, sweet pea, how was your day?
Why it was simply lovely.
I did not hurry, I did not worry.
I floated on a cloud with an angel.
A little boy I was babysitting told me about his friend "ghosty" who was on top of my head.
Delighted, I laughed at his story.
Life is sweet through the eyes of a child.
I promised myself a beautiful day
and it arrived,
gift-wrapped,
tucked away in my heart
to warm me when the cold winds blow.

It's amazing how
desperation becomes
liberation,
how breaking apart
becomes an opening up,
how falling into the depths
becomes a ride to the heavens.
Trust this process,
be fearless,
allow the winds to blow
and the rains to fall.
You will rise up,
like the warrior you are.
Life's challenges are never too big for your luminous presence.
Walk into your power
with your arms wide open.
You are as a firmly planted tree and a soaring eagle,
your breadth is the skies,
your depth is the oceans.
There is nothing to stop what you already are --
a free being,
learning to ascend.

There are so many layers of sorrow
wrapped within the body
There are so many layers of joy
wrapped within the soul
The heart knows how to travel between the body and the soul
The heart knows how to unravel the layers
Confusion to clarity
Chaos to serenity
It's an inside journey
Heart and soul
Together
Redeemed

I feel you suffering
and I pray for your solace
I see you lost
and I pray that your path may open
I watch you withering
and I pray for new soil to revive you
I hear you crying
and I pray for a gentle touch to dry your tears
Oh this land of lamentations
that we walk together side by side
I pray that you may remember
you are never alone
you are deeply loved
we are as children
I pray I pray I pray
may we find our healing

I pray for everyone's wholeness,
I pray for everyone's healing.
We are all broken into pieces,
we are all lost in the woods of our sorrows,
we are as crying children,
bewildered, confused, feeling foresaken.
But wake up!
All happens for you --
for your growth, for your evolution, for your ascendance --
yes, we are climbing up to the pinnacle of joy--
relax, let go,
all is complete,
all is healed,
in the realm of the highest dimension,
the home of your sweet, sweet soul.

Breath in
Breath out
There is nothing more soothing than breath.
Breath is life.
Breath leaves at the end of life.
Like leaves fall from a tree,
death arrives in a quiet chariot.
The clouds open and off we go on our final ride on this earthly plane.
Where does breath go when it ceases to animate the body?
Into the air flying with the birds?
Breathe in
Breathe out
Follow the breath to freedom.
