Adjusting

traveling home from another land

there is so much to adjust to

then you throw in love, lust,

expenses, and cultural disappointments

It all is a great big recipe for heart ache and tears

loneliness and loss

But at the same time

I feel so rich with adventure and inspiration

It is all such a hard knot to untangle

to figure out which end ties to what

and where is my place

in this great big beautiful

mess

here and there

Thursday nite here
Thursday morn there
hours behind. worlds apart.
falling in love so far from home is not an easy conversation to relay across such
time barriers.
it is not an easy conversation.
But I do my best to stay afloat
to remain calm through this and stay in my truth
honoring this love for what it is.
knowing that they too will see this love clearly as it comes into focus.
as there becomes here
and here is no longer so far from there.

As a Tree

Our lives so deeply rooted in the west

embracing what is true

growing up

experiencing new sights

reaching out to new ideas

enduring the seasons of life

growing tall and strong

grounded by the roots of true friendship

and the support from the seeds of past generations

We become comfortable with who we are

in all of the layers of our bark

to our core

Only then can we grow with another

to form a relationship with deep roots

based on love

with similar ideals to plant and watch new seeds grow

know that I will always be by your side

when the leaves blow from your branches

or when the snow is too heavy to bear

to talk and laugh as trees do

in the whispers of the wind

the essence

People travel to escape
to explore
to expand.
economies grow
communities change
money flows
exchanges from hand to hand
the world connects here
and i see...
we are all of the same essence.

Ancient words

"If I could make prophecies
and knew every secret
and had true realization
and full belief
So that i could move mountains,
but missed out on love...
I would be nothing.
And if i gave all my belongings
to the poor
and had my body burned up,
but missed out on love
there would be no use for me.
----Corinthian 13, 2 und 3

free to feel what it is

my heart softens

i feel the earth completely

each pulsation in harmony with the natural rhythm.

Love grounds my heart, body, mind.

allowing blood to move into the brain

circulating

integrating

evolving.

Last night words came from the depths of my heart.

thoughts i have not allowed myslef to manifest for a long time.

thoughts that i have not allowed myself to ever truly feel.

out of fear of heart ache.

Last night my heart spoke clearly.

I am in love.

In love.

These sensations so profound.

this situation so complicated.

But---somehow i find myself calm.

really living in the present moment and recognizing

life as it is right now. letting go of all preconcieved notions of what love is

supposed to be.

FREE now to truly feel what it IS!

To be as I AM.

To be the architect of myself.

rise

How you rise
is how your eyes
and mind
meet the day.

So, take your time, make life your practice
so bliss is felt in each and every moment.
