Stripped Down Naked

Posted on by

Stripped down naked
unconsciousness revealed
all that is hidden
seeking sacred release

Anything not based in love
is peeling away
like surface paint
that gave it a fancy patina

That which no longer serves
has lost its ability to sustain
thus we are dying to the old
as the winds of change blow through

Resistance holds no advantage
hanging on with a fingernail grip
can be excruciatingly painful
for death will have its way with you

If instead, one looks deeper
you will find a foundation
that has always been sustainable
a foundation that will never falter

What remains is your purest essence
as the expression of your GodSelf
that is always transitioning
always birthing anew.

Remember . . .

Posted on by

There is a sacred space
that holds the answers
to all the mysteries
that have been eluding us

That space is deep within us
just below our deepest breath
just below the surface of the silence
just below the clouds of confusion

That space is the space
that integrates the purity
of the human and the Divine
as our GodSelf

Breath deeply, Beloved
relax into the silence
of your Inner Being
and ask to remember.

I Am Woman

Posted on by

I Am Woman
I Am the Divine Feminine
I do not do battle as a man does
but do not mistake that as complacency.

My spear
strikes at the heart
not to kill
nor to conquer
but to soften
and dissolve the barriers
that have attempted
to keep love at bay.

I do not carry a shield
for I have nothing to protect
my protection is the fire of love
which will transform
anything you may aim at me
my protection is compassion
which will disarm you
and melt your desire to fight.

I stand in my power
the power to give birth
to that which is born
of our coming together
in divine partnership
in love and harmony
for the co-creation
of eternal life itself.

I Am Woman
I Am the Divine Feminine
I stand strong and powerful
I stand in Love and Compassion.

Fully Available

Posted on by

So many pieces of myself
I have given away
in hopes that others may feel loved
in hopes others may find happiness
in hopes others may feel safe and secure.

In the end, I was left bereft and empty
with nothing of myself remaining,
and yet it has helped them not
for in depending upon me
they too have lost themselves.

And now that I have reclaimed
all of who I Am
as a whole and sovereign being
I am fully available to others
as the example
of a unique expression of the Divine
living life to the fullest
that they too may find it in themselves.

Kaleidoscope Pieces

Posted on by

Re-collecting all of my self
all the kaleidoscope pieces
that have separated off
to experience every possible
nuance of life

Buried deep within
needing to be resurrected
held, nurtured, and loved
after being shattered and bruised
by the throngs of life thrown at it
through duality’s door

Each precious piece
with its vast experience
is being gathered back home
embodied in the womb of the heart
enlivened by the spark of creation
to embrace its divine birthright
held in escrow by our soul

Once again whole and sovereign
sparkling brightly in harmony
with each creative expansion
to birth new realities
with our newfound
joy and freedom.

Power of Love

Posted on by

I asked to be shown my gifts
to be shown where my power lies.

With my request
the answer became very clear
My Gift is Love
My Power is Love.

There are many
who say I want love
simultaneously fearing it
afraid to open their hearts
afraid of what love will do to them
afraid of what love will expect of them.

Love expects nothing.

However, Love will change you
it will change how you see yourself
how you see and react to others
it will change how you see the world
how you react to the world.

Love will heal your broken heart
and open you to the infinite flow of pure Love
a Love that flows without bounds
a Love without expectations
a Love with glorious potentials.

I stand here, heart wide open
knowing I AM LOVE
allowing Love to consume me
allowing Love to be All That I Am.

In Search of Love

Posted on by

How much of my life have I spent
vying for your love?
I changed my appearance
I changed my actions
I even changed how I felt,
always unsure
if you loved me.

But how could you love me
when you didn’t even know me
because I never knew myself
as I shape-shifted
like a crazy chameleon
in response to you
in response to the world around me.

I finally realized
your love was never the issue
for it was my love of self
I was in search of;
and now that I know who I Am
it matters not
if you love me or not.

For I am deeply enthralled
in a joyful passionate love affair
with my Divine Self
who lives within me
who is always here for me
who has always known
all of Who I Am.

Gift of the Soul

Posted on by

Hushhhhhh my Sweet One, says my Soul,
Allow me to take you deep
beyond time and space
beyond words
beyond the company of other people.

Hushhhhh my Sweet One, says my Soul,
Allow me to escort us
hand in hand
through the coming days
of this sacred eclipse.

Hushhhhh my Sweet One, says my Soul,
Allow us this uninterrupted sojourn
to discover more Love
more Joy
more of who you are becoming . . .

Hushhhh my Sweet One, says my Soul,
This is my blessing and gift to you.

Dying to the Old

Posted on by

Stripped down
illusions revealed
self-denial rising to the surface
pealing away all that is not Love.

Dying to the old
all that remains
is the core essence
of Who I AM.

Death can be painful
death can also happen
with pure serenity
and sublime grace.

Why fear it
why resist it?
What lies on the other side
is the ultimate freedom and joy.

A new life awaits
do you have the courage
to strip down
die to the old
to birth anew.

Beauty of Surrender

Posted on by

Surrender is a beautiful thing
to dive deeply
surrendering to oceans of Love.

And yet, the human mind resists
thinking it will loose control
and it does.

When the mind finally surrenders
what it finds beyond the confines of control
is Peace, Love and Joy.

When the human self finally surrenders
it realizes it has surrendered nothing
and gained everything.
