coming of age

She's a young girl, over there...

infused with joy, yet often invisible to those she loves.

She's a young girl, indeed her face and laugh as young as the day, but her eyes as wise as the owl perched outside tonight.

A young being, but an old soul, she redefines respect as she embodies this namaste.

She bows down to the guru embedded in the moment.

Ah this young girl bows down to even you, as you disrespect your being

as you steel time from tomorrow, as you loose your awareness of today.

She still sees your light deep inside, and bows down to you, awaiting the day you awaken and stand up.

She is a young girl over there, straight hair green eyes changing like the sea.

But this spring this youth, like a seed, will finally find the light inside to blossom outward.

Stepping into this power. 

she's a young girl, but soon all will finally see her old soul.

And begin to bow down to her and awaken to themselves.

Re*Cognize

Re-cognize

Re-call to mind

Re-cognize all those negative eyes as butterflies, let go, and start again.

Re-learn

Re-wind and slow down to the rhythm of YOUR--

heart beat.

I believe in this beat.

The rhythm of silence.

The inner sound of truth, love, compassion, courage.

Cultivate.

kNow this word courage down to its latin roots

where "cor" means heart.

This heart of hearts, I bow down to her

head to heart

heart to head

I believe that our breathe is our connection to rhythmic wisdom.

listen with profound respect.

in deep silence

profound wisdom 

resides inside, a seed.

And you are the gardener,

the breathe the guiding light,

and graceful, compassionate awareness the flowing water.

Self sustained nourishment

from moment t moment.

Rooting down into the heart, into the earth.

RE-connect,

Re-cognize.

Growing up towards the mind this guide and voice of light.

Photosynthesize with poised integrity

from the roots of the heart to the stem of expression

Truth reins here

what is...

IS.

and with this clarity I feel the grace of the mind unfolding

to all that is

from moment to moment

We all are our own sources of light

dispelling darkness, misconceptions

now the power to turn all negative eyes into butterflies...

RE-cognize.

Teachers exist in every moment, in every face, and in every thing.

Awaken to each as an opportunity to GROW,

towards the light

lightness in darkness

lightness in heaviness light mind,  light step, light action

Soft Smile

Eye Believe in a smile as a reverberating act of peace.

As we evolve as a species, I chose to evolve with love.

Rooted in compassion.

With this energy, I believe my coexistence will unfold as effortless as a flower opens 

towards the sun-light.

photosynthesize with poised integrity.

Recognize.

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
