Kindness

“There is a kindness that dwells deep down in things; it presides everywhere, often in the places we least expect. The world can be harsh and negative, but if we remain generous and patient, kindness inevitably reveals itself.”

“Something deep in the human soul seems to depend on the presence of kindness; something instinctive in us expects it, and once we sense it we are able to trust and open ourselves…”

“The word kindness has a gentle sound that seems to echo compassionate goodness. When someone is kind to you, you feel understood and seen. There is no judgement or harsh perception directed towards you.”

“Kindness has gracious eyes; it is not small-minded or competitive; it wants nothing back from itself. Kindness strikes a resonance with the depths of your own heart; it also suggests that your vulnerability, though somehow exposed, is not taken advantage of; rather, it has become an occasion for dignity and empathy…”

“Despite all the darkness, human hope is based on the instinct that at the deepest level of reality some intimate kindness holds sway. This is the heart of blessing. To believe in blessing is to believe that our being here, our very presence in the world, is itself the first gift, the primal blessing.”

~John O’ Donohue from To Bless the Space Between Us

Learning to fly...

“I can complain and criticize,
Finding fault with you and I,
But I would rather spend my time,
Learning how to fly.”

Found myself humming this tune, as I traveled the trail...

Soul Searching Summer Solstice...

-->

With my grandfather's today on this great grandfather rock... 

learning to listen to my heart, send light, give & 
receive love,  & then let go.

Been doing a lot of soul searching, and asking the universe for
guidance.  I woke up today feeling as though I needed to jump a
huge hurdle in life, and with so much uncertainty I needed help from
my grandfathers this father's day.  As I hiked up to "my spot" I was trying to
connect to my ancestors, asking them to help me find my way
through these tears, through this suffering.  I found  myself repeating
"Listen, Light, Love..."  but something was missing.  I knew 

there was one more piece of the puzzle I needed to put it all together.  
I trekked on in the sun & the heat, made it to the grandfather
rock, climbed up top and sat.  As I sat looking out over the landscape,
the most beautiful hawk circled the valley below from afar, slowly it 
came towards me, I could feel it carrying the message I knew I 
needed, the missing puzzle piece. I watched as is it soared so 
graciously, came across the sky, and right up over me.  I could
not touch it, but I could see it and feel it,  I knew in my soul it
was my love, and all I could do was LET GO of fear & doubt.

Heavy Metta

You have a power...

“You have a power that has nothing to do with what you do

or what you say

or who you know or what you know

or where you are or what you look like or your skills

or your talents

or what you have.

It is the power of your presence.

It is the heat and light from your burning log.

And it touches everyone who comes in contact with you….

~Paul Williams, Remember your Essence

February Seven...

I went on the search for something true
I was almost there when I found you
Sooner than my fate was wrote
A perfect blade, it slit my throat
And beads of lust released in to the air
When I awoke you were standing there
I was on the mend when I fell through
The sky around was anything but blue
I found as I regained my feet
A wound across my memory
That no amount of stitches would repair
But I awoke and you were standing there


Chorus
There's no fortune at the end of the road
That has no end
There's no returning to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
There's no falling back to sleep
Once you've waken from the dream
Now I'm rested and I'm ready
I'm rested and I'm ready to begin
I'm ready to begin


I went on the search for something real
I traded what I know for how I feel
But the ceiling and the walls collapsed
Upon the darkness I was trapped
And as the last of breath was drawn from me
The light broke in and brought me to my feet


Chorus
There's no fortune at the end of the road
That has no end
There's no returning to the spoils
Once you've spoiled the thought of them
There's no falling back to sleep
Once you've waken from the dream
Now I'm rested and I'm ready
I'm rested and I'm ready
Yeah I'm rested and I'm ready
I'm rested and I'm ready
Yeah I'm rested and I'm ready
I'm rested and I'm ready to begin
I'm ready to begin

by The Avett Brothers

A song I'd like to to dedicate to all those that are awakening:)
With Love,

Think about it...

~Surprise someone with a nice thank you card~

That...

There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don't look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.

~Rumi
