    Guides, universe, God, I’m afraid of this loneliness.

    But I’m looking around & nothing is happening. The walls aren’t pressing in. I’m here, and it’s okay. God, I’m scared of this drought. I’m scared I won’t ever move out of my own way. God, I’m scared I’m not good enough. God, I’m scared I’m not enough. I’m scared I’ll keep watching life pass…

    I had a phone call with my brother & i appreciate it

    Life seems much simpler when you put it like this. The point is not the money, a shiny job or place. The point is always community, connection & love’s grace. The point is living fully & feeling understood – The point is not success or looking outwardly good. The point is your heart, shining bright…

  • A cheesy little ditty

    I’m crying while making mac n cheese It’s not the lowest of the lows If you cry through a mouthful of mac n cheese At least your belly is full ❤

  • So I’m sad.

    So I feel it simmering in my chest. So I’m sad. So it hurts. It doesn’t mean that I’m not blessed. It doesn’t mean that I’m not right where I’m meant to be – the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, life is singing out for me. I can cry this morning – and…

    I want this somewhere permanent so here I am in impermanency

    This is my room. And it’s beautiful. It’s warm and inviting just for me. I keep it comfortable, safe and clean. Outside are my plants on the balcony. Here I see my lights that gleam; a blue blanket, laid out soft and serene; frogs and cats and green green leaves; mushroom lights and words unseen.…

  • I danced in my room to music today and felt ALIVE ALIVE ALIVE

    I danced in my room to music today and felt ALIVE ALIVE ALIVE

    I get it now. There’s nothing else to wait for. The cycle of suffering is ending, now, with my attention & intention. I am stepping into the light. I am joy, pleasure & pain. I am the rolling crash of the waves. I am lightning, sure & quick – I am the crackle of the…

  • Some things I’d like to affirm and remember.

    Some things I’d like to affirm and remember.

    It is all within my power and choice. I don’t need to worry about whether I’ll be happy or whether I can achieve my goals because it is always and forever within my inner authority, creative energy, and capability. (and surrender to the wild, unexpected & wondrous ways the universe takes care of the rest).

  • I remembered something today

    I remembered something today

    This feeling I used to get as a kid- where the sun would warm my face and melt across into my chest, into that place where I feel blessed- it’d travel and crack like wings across my back, tingling and thrumming, an angel manifest! The feeling would rise up until all I could do is…

  • The heart wants what it wants

    The heart wants what it wants

    And I’ll call it what it is: that the heart wants what it wants.I can eat my weight in logic, but the thoughts are just a block.An endless looping cycle of trusting what is notA way to hide the heart away as you beg for the right thought. The heart will listen sadly as you…

    I feel lonely but I’m not alone

    I’m on a living, breathing Earth. It is alive, as am I. I am alive, even when I feel lonely.And I feel that aching in my chest- it calls to me,asks me to caress- the feeling, creaking in my bones-of having a place to call my home. But it’s silly when I open my eyes-see…
