In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer |
A Prayer in the Wind
I welcome the challenge to push beyond my comfort, to dig down in that place solid in my willingness. Though I posses the stubbornness, let me seek my humility as the light towards awakening. May my passion for understanding be met by the gift of unlearning those ideas that burn my soul and chain my heart. I ask that breath return between my bones so that I might stand upright in my healing, always seeking that which is my salvation, my own humanity...May I know that false pride lies in the ego dance and that I am neither my praise or my blame, may the dance between the two always grow smaller... I wish blessing to you and the knowledge that you matter ♥ (Sé 13')

Last night I sailed past page 499, reading Haruki Marukami's IQ84 (2011) and for some reason, the opening passage to chapter 16 felt incredibly healing to me:
Chp. 16 TENGO (Like a Ghost Ship) What kind of world will there be tomorrow? |
“We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.” I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way. Let our scars fall in love.” ― Galway Kinnell |
“The one who would be constant in happiness must frequently change.”
― Anthony de Mello “You are so intense. Like a storm. It's shocking how intense you are.” ― Francesca Lia Block “Do your own thing on your own terms and get what you came here for” ― Oliver James “Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.” ― Oprah Winfrey |

The lies a treasure in her waiting to awaken, a breath longing to release
can you find your way on the map to celebrate her deepest desires? Are you worthy? Are you kind? Will she surrender her will to you at least and beg to be taken? Can you protect her now, in your fragile state? Are you full enough to give to her all she is worth? Can you wait to touch, to tame , to heal... She make you want? She calls you name? Be diligent and endure until the time comes for you to feed the fire she has within. IF you are not ready- stand fast captain - the ship will sail when you are ready to steer it!-ME |

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. ~Henri Nouwen |
___REAL men never stop trying to show the woman they love how much she means to him ... (even) after he's got her.... (just sayin') ....

Insights from myth, dreams, and intuitions, from glimpses of an invisible reality, and from perennial human wisdom provide us with hints and guesses about the meaning of life and what we are here for. Prayer, observance, discipline, thought and action are the means through which we grow and find meaning.

Your eyes make me feel like a hunter who is being hunted by a beautiful gazelle.

William Goldman, I used to dread getting older because I thought I would not be able to do all the things I wanted to do, but now that I am older I find that I don't want to do them.

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

Meeting of cultures
What do you know about being black? She asked the yellow colored girl.
Hey girl! I see you walking. Looking and moving – you look just like me. Your hips are moving and tongue clicking. I see you speaking of my plight. Chocolate skin… Hold on girl! Caramel, almond, cafe con leche, caju, mel, and then chocolate. My hips don’t move, they sway My tongue dances formulating words foreign to this harsh idiom. Our cause is/not one of the same. Seeking to be seen, recognized, validated, and legalized. Our history are beats of a drum – African/ Caribbean/Indigenous/ Latina I am like you – not. You see me walking. I am just like you - not Then I speak. I am lost. Hey girl! Now, you don’t recognize me. ~SPS |
All passages from Elizabeth Gilbert's, Eat, Pray, Love.
“I was full of a hot, powerful sadness and would have loved to burst into the comfort of tears, but tried hard not to, remembering something my Guru once said -- that you should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong, instead.”
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.” “Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.” “and when you sense a faint potentiality for happiness after such dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face-first out of the dirt-this is not selfishness, but obligation. You were given life; it is your duty to find something beautiful within life no matter how slight.” |

They call to me
full breasted, wet and restless they scream my name sweet tenderness, the wild tamed. Her, She, woman, femme her delicate tastes, supple skin, submissive ways. they look different, they are warm, kind, generous. She melts in my mouth She buckles under my sex she, who is not here but wanted her; the one that lingers femme, the half to my whole so familiar and never getting old. Though I've discovered a challenge to my want, the memory of you remains, she who calls to me is left behind because you are still there. teasing me with a love forgotten. Taunting me with the story of us turned to the breaking of me... My heart is not healed yet- it is then I realize I am not reaching for anyone but running away from you. I am not seeking to be with "her" I am trying to forget you I am lost, I am wandering. I am not yet free from the place you made in my heart. And my heart aches. So I step forward and fall back I reach and recoil I rise and dissolve. She who steals from my breathe- woman, who arouses my senses femme, she who feeds the flames of my desire My missing piece lies lost under the sofa The picture is there but it will take a thorough spring cleaning for it to be whole. So I wait, I distract and I cry... I run, I walk and I hide.-ME |

Love, something we all live with, dream of, or hope for
Tis a gift that is not to be taken lightly A gift from one heart to another given in faith From one soul wanting to give to another soul longing to receive Coming together from darkness and sorrow, from loss and despair Into the glow of a rainbow after the rains have fallen Sunshine lights the path, though it be dark in the early morn A new dawn is to awaken the sleeping heart of the lost soul A new era approaches the lives of two who have wandered Within the shadows of their life, the attic of their minds Where dust had gathered a breeze now gently blows all away To reveal the beauty of what may come and shine forth A beauty that can only be shared by two with faith in themselves and trust in their hearts A desire for consummate love bubbles within and gives a reason to live To live and let every moment together count, waste not one day nor even one moment This is beauty that can overcome the darkness, a love that can grow When given the chance to risk, to grab hold of the clouds and soar Open the door, let it all in, cherish it, live it, and do not let go Refrain not when love knocks gently on your heart's door One has so much to give, the other has so much need to be loved and cared for, someone to walk with, to be there Which is the one who needs to give, or the one who needs to be Held and loved, nourished and soothed, it changes from day to day Arms that ache to be holding the one, the love that blooms A fire that burns and must be quenched before it consumes Love cannot grow if not given a chance, A risk not taken is to not feel the dance Of moments together to create memories Swaying together with a garden breeze Gently caressing the lovers that embrace Behind curtains of white gossamer lace From shaking hands and heart, about to risk, a Sacred Love begins to grow, born of purity and faith, trust and spiritual knowing There are times when someone also needs the courage to just live Reach out, take the hand offered, take the heart that loves you Treat it with great care, and give back the love And the rose, when turned, becomes Eros, the god of Love |

"Appearances of things changes according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are already in ourselves"
-Kahlil Gibran :moonstars: "I am not interested in your limiting beliefs; I am interested in what makes you limitless. I'm not interested in your weakness, but your strength; not in your vices but your virtues; not your insecurities but your greatness. Stop spinning in your past or on all the reasons you feel you are not good enough. It's time to step into a higher state of being above the fray and fear. It is not what makes you small or limited that you should focus on. It is what makes you magnificent, remarkable, loving, blessed...ready!!" -Brendon Burchard (Author of the Charge) |
"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.” ~Frida Kahlo |
