decided
it's the stories
we tell ourselves
that matter the most
each day
a rambling dialogue
with ourselves
with our souls
cataloging our symptoms
our moments
of feelings
that become so much more
when we give them a label
when we ponder
and fester
and focus
on all that we
never...
While we marvel at the dolphin
or whale breaking surface, this great
leap is followed by a great surrender
back into what no one can see.
These surges of power are always
followed by a letting go.
Like the whale,...
What if all of your triggers were just old defense mechanisms and behavior patterns that your mind picked up due to old traumas? What if everytime a trigger or trauma response came up it...
Clouds and storms hover
Over us like a lost thought.
A strange idea we once had – to build a log cabin together
and hide in worlds beyond our own –
but our lives were surmounted by menial...
A wise voice asks
A few questions of me
Ones that force me to pause
And consider thoroughly.
“Can you love your body
Through and through,
Regardless of its size,
No matter what it can do?”
My face scrunches up
At this ridiculous...

Not living
But frozen
Like a spaghetti stain
On a wall
Dripping of anger
EXPRESS
Express because the
Anger was
FROZEN
Static Being
Stuck in whispers
Of That ARE
THIS
How to express
The vibrant
Moving Center?
THAT are Thou
No static measurements
Just knowing

This is my personal story on labels. It may not be everyone’s story, but it is mine. In an “enlightened” moment, I realized how much my “labeling” had affected my relationships and my expectations...

The Infinite and the Finite
Dance in Time and Space
Singing, Moving, Longing
Of Unity
Every moment holds
Both Seeds and Fruits
Of the Finite
And the Infinite
Union = in breathe
Of FEAR with no boundaries

LOVE
Do not ask from inside
the mouth of your pain.
Instead, go
wandering in forests,
become radiantly pregnant
with love.
Sink to the earth,
liquored up on beauty
and gratitude.
Only then,
open sweet holy lips
in prayer and recitation.
This is how you
encode the universe
with...
Where dwellers are the Adam’s posteriors.
Where inferiors are the sinners.
Where instincts are the evilers.
Where sentiments are the tormenters.
Where norms are the confiners.
Where expositors are the arbiters.

Without spelling – words are jumbled
Without ability to be known, seen
Without narrative – without illusion
There is no unconscious
Yet the conscious minds hold
Mistake on intention
Or Unintentional error?
Superiority is Reckless
Humility is Sound
Freedom from drama
Yet as a...
