A Shield of Spirit

I am not like others. I have never been nor will ever be. I have always wandered through places in untraditional or conventional ways. I have traversed these places alone while carrying with me only a shield of spirit. Despite this, this chosen shield has always been porous letting in things wished for and also things unwanted. Some might ask “then what good is a shield of spirit when it doesn’t fully protect you?”. The point was never to be protected but simply to slow down the overwhelming amount of of love being given on a regular basis.

With this remarkable offering there is sometimes some of the unwanted that gets in alongside the wanted. The real magic is then watching the way in which love swallows the sorrow while transforming it into energy. Watching this alchemical transformation then reminds me why I picked that shield up as a little boy; this spirit that is one with all things is one with love, and in the end, love prevails.

Only Magical thinking lives within our thoughts

Imagining the sounds, I am able to vision a different ending

My mind consciousness like smoke

My ritual is love and attention

Memorizing finally forgotten

I could love again

My heart is with you as you move through this day to reach outside of yourself in order to follow your heart. You have journeyed deeply into places not of your choosing but simply out of necessity and out of the desire to love and to heal so many. You are in a space of transformation and because of that evolution, a place of great deepening and healing.

You are about to move beyond the person you have known yourself to be and to blossom into yet another bright element of yourself. I have been honored to witness you and your continued magic as you tirelessly give, love and breathe your majestic light. Although I may not have been by your side physically, I have been in your heart with my heart loving you quietly and unconditionally by simply wishing your success with whispers of the heart.

I am with you today as I am with you always; watching you succeed for yourself and for your well being. I am proud to be and have been your friend. I am honored to have been on this journey of ebb and flow. You are my beautiful friend and a majestic light for me. In the dark I can see you and I know all will be right. And for that, I am most humbly grateful.

You have changed the world because I have witnessed how you have changed me. You have changed those who have witnessed your light. Go and shine your light. You will always succeed. Always. No fear when you are the light.

Satisfied to see the very quietest part.

To move. To walk.

Emptiness and tranquility commonplace followed by nothing.

August.

September.

Without distinction or consolation.

Occupied of every body.

The world without temptation.

Just Go!

The Frontier of opportunities are so vast and open. Each person stands at the edge of their very own expanse of space. Every individual peering into the potential for a journey of their very own.

Enter and expand the internal being that you are. Explore and experience all that is possible for you as you venture the magical realm of occasion.

Never once was there the expectation of perfection. Never once the request for a specific way of experiencing something. Never once the thought you should be more than you are, or know more than you do at this moment.

Right here and now is the time for the beginners heart and the beginners mind. See yourself attending to the passion of the moment rather than the perfection. Satisfy the soul and not a perceived expectation.

Go!

Go then into your world and your world alone. Take no friend. Carry no burden. Worlds will converge when they are ready; when your heart is ready. Be patient and revel in these moments with great anticipation of joy. Revel in those moments. And most importantly, live. Simply, live.

Go!

Heartstrong

We all know what it means to be headstrong, but what about heartstrong. Headstrong is a negative term for people who are impatient and unable to accept information or advice from outside of their own focused perspective or view. Unwilling to bend or be malleable to other ideas or ways of being that may not follow their particular beliefs.

 

Heartstrong on the other hand is not a word that is part of our language or part of our societal way of thinking. This rather saddens me as it is most likely what we need more of in a time of narrow one way thinking that seems to be getting more narrow and un-accepting as time moves on.

 

I think we are in a position to access our heart strength invigorating the power of love in a way that allows our hearts to speak through our every action. Being heartstong should be something we strive for and are proud of; our very actions of kindness and compassion to one another and to our own well-being would make us so.

 

I am suggesting we adopt in our vocabulary the word heartstrong and embody its meaning.  Perhaps we might make it into a dictionary letting the movement move one another in love, light and joy.

 

Heartstrong

 

Heart – strong: adjective:

 

/patient and kind, willing to have compassion for others

 

/directed by love in all actions

Returning “Home”: Day 5

Recently I have become aware of the many shifts in my life as well as the highlighted notion of returning that has graced my thoughts as of late. One of the ideas of returning that seems to be floating to the surface is the return to “home”, coming “home” as you will, or having a “second home”.  These words have been written, exchanged or shared with me lately and more noticeably and intensively over the past week.

 

I have observed that my life is cycling back in many ways perhaps allowing me the opportunity to get a few more things right. Now when I say this I don’t mean things were bad per say before, it’s just that they might not have been all they could have would I have been who I am today.

 

I believe there is many lessons offered by the universe, some of these learned quickly while others needing more time for absorption. As with all of us, lessons learned by others at specific times are not learned in the same time by every individual. We all come to our own assimilations of the ways of light at the time for which we are ready to receive.

 

At this moment, all I can say is that it is honor to be invited back, being loved enough to return or even forgiven so as to be reborn. I love that I have a second home many places in the world. I am grateful that I am invited back again and again and made feel comfortable and included in rituals and events that are not always offered to everyone.

 

I am also grateful that I am asked to return home to places in which I have been away from so as to share once again in the love that was left, lost or withheld. Regardless of the reason, it is important for me, for all of us, to return to our “home” renewed, humble and reborn. For in these moments, these times of atonement, this is where grace lives. Grace in movement, grace in spirit and most importantly, grace in love.
