The Power of Quiet Giving

There is an immense power generated when we give to others from the depths of our hearts. This immensity is purely compounded and utterly expanded because of the silence attached to the gift. When we give without recognition we expose the heart so as to express the vulnerable exchange of love. This exchange, done without a desire to be known, is what has been known as unconditional.

Yet, our current culture seems to need to be recognized for all sorts of gifts. The ego needs to be larger than the actual gift or benefit of the gift. A individuals or groups misuse this support to call attention to themselves rather than to humbly and whole heartedly lift up the person or group that needs it most. Ironic that the need is outweighed by selfishness. Is it really a gift or is it just another business exchange? And if so, should it not be classified as such?

Are we truly a society of philanthropic people when we have to advertise our philanthropy? Might we just give because we believe and because we love? Might we give regardless of outcomes and data? When does the gift regain itself as a selfless act and be a gift of the heart again? When will we experience gifts for one another that are shared with love and light?

Is it possible to move forward and unwind the complexities that we have woven; the knots we have tangled and strangled ourselves with? Can we loosen the hold of our own hearts simply to help those that need us the most?

I have recently made a choice to do more giving and giving with love regardless of the act oe amount. I want to live in a land of give. I want to be a part of the immense power of quietly sharing the commodity of love.

Light on spiders web louder than the string of a violin

Birds swell softer than foot to grass

Blue meets forever, if in fact there is such thing as blue

I cannot tell

I never could

I am naturally indifferent

But now, gained enjoyment as well as happiness

The love of sentiment may in time come

The pleasure for me to love; love is a great blessing

Smiling compliments a happy mind

Enchanted by his simple thought

His beautiful voice perfect without vanity

An opportunity might occur

The Freedom to Be

Whisper the words of love by the actions of your heart

Water the garden of the soul by tears that fall from your sorrowful eyes

Absorb your fragile humanity by swallowing your pride

 

It is only through action that we can truly know

It is only through pain that we find our strength

It is only through vulnerability that we enjoy freedom

Light on the wind of my fingertips

Sweet dew on the skin of my lips

Softness is the song of the heart

 

Permeable skin allowing the entrance of love

Air from the mountains of movement from above

Ebb and flow is the path of serenity

Under the Eyes of the Mountain

We sat and spoke of the past under the eyes of the mountain.
We gazed out across the sea of green rolling hills breathing in the air of conviction.
We released the flood gates of the heart unleashing a necessary pouring of emotion as we allowed ourselves to once again reclaim our hearts.

It has been a long time since our spirits met without any interruption of life and commitment.
The ocean of trees looked on whispering to go further and further into the rings of our hearts.
With the comfort of a forever friendship we linked arms and walked; sauntering into our future by understanding the very nature of our present.

I know why we met beside these mountains.
I understand why it is the sky cradled us in its light.
This is the space our hearts were hearing decades ago that we saw deep within one another.
And although our lives at that moment could not hear the calling of the mountain; we somehow knew there would be this day, this space, this love.

Lost Language of Space

There is a language lost inside the chaos of contradictory images of space and time. We are a drift in a time of dissolution. Floating aimlessly amidst the sea of “noise” that drowns out the voice of spirit and truth for the survival of the human spirit. Now, more than ever, is there a need for the investigation and cultivation of the quiet. A pressing need to find the distilled reason for being. I can think of no better time than the present to question personal behavior and claim a responsibility for ourselves and our spirit. No better time to accept our own role as the leader and director of our life and lively hood. It is too late for blame. It is too late to wait around for someone or something to bail us out. It is we who should help ourselves in order to help those we love, along with the things we love to do, thus allowing us to fulfill our spirit and bring us joy. It is important to embark on a journey in which we meander our personal labyrinth to sift through the chaos. It is important for us to press what does not matter away from the center of our beings. Chaos has cluttered the space around us and the space within us is collapsing. Fill the space within with an energy and light that will allow for an expansion of the spirit. Allow the space to be a sanctuary and sacred space for you to be; safe and flowing with the freedom for the mind and central nervous system to speak clearly to the body for healing and well-being. As we create space within, the space without will be created. When we find the space to live, we will find the space to listen. When we find the time to listen, we will hear the lost voice of our soul and start living the life that is ours. Finally we will find freedom to live the life that our spirit has been trying to live since the day we were born. This is freedom. This is the desire of the heart.

 

Shaping and Framing

Suspended points in space framing the blue

Shaping the circumference

 

The relationship of the internal referencing the vast

Experiencing the divine

 

It is not for the body to know more than it feels

Simplicity in the act of a movement

 

Bringing the mind into consciousness

Seeing things as they are

 

Comprehending limitless possibilities

Presented by potential space

 

It is not a mistake that we move to be moved

Unconditional joy in being

 

Words for the dancers of “Blind Sight”

Blind Sight

 

If you were to possess the ability to see, that which does not exist, you would most clearly understand the depth and expanse of your immediate reality. You would understand that there are things that surround you, carry you, and support the very vibration that is you.

 

If you could allow yourself to trust in the Universe to guide you, humble yourself in faith so deep you would radiate the light, you would believe that underneath it all, you already possess the wings to fly.

 

What you do not know does not mean it is not already there. You already embody what is needed to soar beyond your wildest imaginings and the question now is whether you will be able to see it inside yourself and in those that surround you at this present moment.

 

There is a great animal inside of you. Let it be free. Let it be your companion on this journey tonight. You have built a relationship with it to no longer fear it. Wild does not mean without heart, it means living with an enchanted abandonment that our hearts hunger to express. Run alongside that animal, for it is the very embodiment of the spirit within.

 

These are the spirits I see with my blind sight; the spirit of your true nature in all of its glory. Do you have the courage to see it yourself while allowing for a moment, others to see it in you, too?

 

Woven Memories of Love

Cycles of memory are woven deeply into the fabric of our hearts-holding close the magic and splendor of the loves we have walked through. It is this layering that keeps the spirit warm reminding us of the times in which the spirit burned with joy and passion. So beautiful are these vibrant images playing on the screens of our souls that we are not able to hold back the smiles that pass along our lips.  While being reminded of this vibrant joy, these beautifully open channels from our heart are then allowed to stay open to receive even more love in the ever-present moment of now. It is not as if we live in the past by our recollection, but it is our recollection that helps keep us open for the possibilities of great love right here, right now.
