For those of you who know me, you’ve probably seen that I pour myself into my creativity with fervor. Creative license is a way of being, a lifeline from the depths of internal churn which I have come to know as homeostasis. Maybe I am not typical, at least I aspire to find myself outside of the box. Change is something I lean into rather than avoid. And as I continue to form my devotion and alliance to this transformative and beastly state, I can’t help but advocate for the “everything is possible” that exists within the radical realm of metamorphosis…
Hello world. How art these days for thee? While riding high on the dragons of the mind, how doest one relate? I continueth to traverse the unexplored terrain of mine soul, as usual. And 't doest not feeleth boring. However, I findeth myself aching to ooze these words through the sieve of Shakespeare's English only for dramatic flair. Is't working?
I do. I am in a state of acceptance like no other I have ever known. I am accepting the transition of this moment…as a friend noted, “it seems you’re able to spend time in between the letting go of one trapeze and enjoy it without frantically searching for the next one”. Indeed, it feels that way. And enjoyment is a relative term in this case. Let’s explore the space in between the next trapeze through inquiry…
Read MoreI am a dreamer, I always have been. My dreams are a natural conduit for conversation with the more informed aspects of myself, those that are not distracted by the everyday and mundane tasks at hand. Lately, my dreams have felt more like visions rather than personal insights. Visions of a probable future and you may want to sit down for this…
Read MoreThere’s a secret doorway. And it opens from within. Am I ready to see all that it beholds? That Inner fire, it’s as swift as an arrow, when that higher love consumes me then I’ll know. Moving too fast. Living jet set. The cost was just too high. I’m ready to begin again. And now I rewrite myself with every end. Now I’m ready to begin again. And I’m going somewhere I have never been…
Read MoreJust going to start writing now. I don’t really even feel like it. Everywhere I look I see flames. Burning down where I have been, who I have been, and with whom I have been. Scary. Terrifying. Lonely. Sad. Touching in. Trying to find. The. Way. Home…
Oh it dares. It dares to be bold, to be grand, to be illuminating, and more fun than recent years for sure. Of course, there will be challenges, we are still in the roaring 2020’s after all…yet there is a sense of reprieve as we enter 2022 under the auspicious new moon in Capricorn in a heroic trine with cosmic lightning superstar Uranus. It is time to let our hair down and dance to the rhythm of our own drumbeat. Pretending is over, you are cordially invited to be YOURSELF…
In my heart for sure…thinking about everyone on this planet and beyond that I love so much that it hurts so good…You know what I mean? That love that can stretch beyond time and space, even past, present, and future. The love that tastes like the sweetest of honey or a bitter medicine that heals the deepest layers of self. The love that sparkles in the light, reflecting every facet of radiance and rainbows of glitter…
I had a dream recently like no other. I could see the horizon in front of me as a clean line of earth and sky. From deep within, I started to run at full speed towards this edge and just kept running as the edge became a cliff where the horizon quickly became sky into the ocean. All I could see was blue in all directions as I was suspended in a slow-motion mid-air flight and awakened…
After much tireless curiosity around this subject and meticulously investigating my true motivations and relationship to change, I can honestly say yes. And...it truly is the hardest, most arduous, and disciplined notion I believe a human can undergo. Changing a mind is not just making a new decision, it is diving deep into the crux of the origin of being…
Read MoreIt isn’t often that we have such explicit articulation from the cosmos focused on one of my very favorite topics, the illumination of darkness. On this full Taurus Moon, we are receiving a gilded invitation, starlit and poised, in the form of a lunar eclipse. Ready or not, here it comes! This season of Scorpio has not disappointed…
“Without music, life would be a mistake.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche I have to agree with Friedrich on this one. Truly, I have lived too many years, mistaken, without music being a prominent aspect of my life. I remember how easeful it was as a child to freely express myself without too much thought or concern…
Read MoreUnraveling inside out, I’m shedding my old skin now. I’m breaking out of the cocoon, underneath a full moon. I’m waking up from a dream into a new reality. My mind is rearranging, aching, unsettled, cause I’ve seen things you can’t unsee. Now the rhythm of life is changing…
Read MoreI am birthing myself into a singer...of pop songs! I know, it is a wild plot twist in the story of my life yet it is such a natural form of expression for me that has been under wraps for far too long. I grew up singing solos in every school play, musical, and eventually choir from kindergarten into high school. I had a true leaning towards jazz and the blues, the kind where I felt it in my heart so deep. Later, when I got more involved in competitive sports, I moved that stamina and energy onto the slopes and onto the field. And, I forgot myself…
Read MoreThis new moon is teaching me to tell the people I love that I love them. To hold them near and to be generous with my heart. There are many unknowns in life, many more than there are givens somehow. I am writing with a tender heart, feeling grief and empathy for dear ones who are suffering deeply. I recognize the fierce impermanence of this life, remembering the paradox of our strength and simultaneous fragility…
Read MoreHere is an example of what Self-Observation can look like: I am on retreat. I’ve just meditated, breathed, observed, and processed my dream from the night before. I stretch and make some tea. The whole day is ahead of me and I have a thought. Only five days left and what do you have to show for yourself? That thought is then proceeded by more commentary. You still have this chapter and this chapter and this chapter to write...
Right now I feel a feverish high. So much is in the air. Like sparkles in a snow globe, my life is full of things to celebrate yet you can’t quite see what is happening, momentarily. My body is a vessel for process and goodness, a process I am in. Have you ever rebirthed yourself in every area of life all at once? I thought I did this already. 5 years ago I experienced such radical upheaval that it felt like a wildfire moved through my soul, but I missed some key pieces that were unconsciously lodged inside my mind…
Read MoreI have a Dragon
inside of me,
Made from pain
and memories
Her fiery
dungeon breath,
My impending,
imminent death…
Read MoreI recently found out that my cousin lost her life to addiction. Lost her life. What is more precious than our very breath? Perhaps that which is beyond the breath, that which is greater than this physical existence...maybe, yet isn’t our life the most beautiful gift we could ever receive? And now she is gone and there are no more breaths. I am sitting here in deep reflection…
