You're a work of art. Celebrate it.
What’s the boldest dream that you can come up with? What would you like to experience? What do you want to create? In what ways would you like to grow? What physical objects would you like to see in your life? I meditated a bit on all of these questions, then created a collage of […]
Teach me to
Stand strong and tall
Through typhoons cyclones
And collapse
Of common sense
Show me how to
Hug the Earth and
Set up a sturdy base there
So that I won’t topple
As I stretch out to the Heavens
Pushing way past my limits
Remind me
To always keep
My head up high
To raise above
Turbulent petty weather
To keep raising like this
Till I become
One with the Sky
I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but hating yourself isn’t necessary to create great things. Many of my friends believe that without their inner critic they’d fall back to laying on a couch and watching TV all day. They feel like they need to control and punish themselves to keep going. But […]
The Ocean
Swallowed my whole
House again
Infinite blue surrounds me
With no walls
Floor or shelter
Sea monsters
Beyond my sight murmur
Mischievous melodies
Come here
You wicked beasts
I know you cannot hurt me
Since the flood what’s left
Of me is mostly water
I know you’re water too
Just like the rest of us
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. — Jalal al-Din Rumi
Bless the thing that broke you down and cracked you open, because the world needs you open. — Rebecca Campbell
Show me
Your wounds
And I’ll show you mine
We’ll go down to the Ocean
In the sweetest embrace
Let the salty medicine
Wash them all inside out
Till it breaks
Us both open
We will weep
And bow
To the divine light
That will shine
Through the cracks
I am
But a seed
What grows out of me
Wasn’t mine
To choose
Entire Universes
Flow through me
From the Source
No more belonging to me
Than a cup
Contains the river
Each time
I get to die a little bit
And surrender
Each time
I am humbled
By my own creation
Let’s
Grow together
Till our roots
And branches
Are all tangled in
A lovely mess
Let’s
Reach out up high
Embrace lift push
And pull each other
In this
Infinite play
Let’s
Never stop dancing
For as long as
There is breath in us
There can be dance
There’s only one thing that upsets me more than making a dumb mistake–making the same dumb mistake more than once. The first time I do something stupid it’s an opportunity to learn something new and avoid the same mistake in the future. If I do the same thing again, it’s just stupid. If it happens […]
