Zen Acres

I was thinking of the name for the farm and I think Zen Acres is fitting it’s peaceful here.

I Can’t Stay

I can’t stay

I can’t stay mother, I love you, but I wasn’t born to please you

I wasn’t born to make you happy

or give your life meaning.

I wasn’t born to rot under your wings

like an unhatched egg.

I can’t stay, teacher.

I wasn’t born to be put into your boxes

to think along your lines

or to memorize your facts

I was born to think independently.

I can’t stay, my love.

I wasn’t born to satisfy your needs

to take care of you

or to hide in your arms.

I wasn’t born to make myself smaller

or to be taken for granted.

I can’t stay, boss.

I wasn’t born to make money for others

I wasn’t born to follow orders

or to repeat the same day over and over again

I wasn’t born for boredom.

I can’t stay, master.

I wasn’t born to follow your ideas of what truth is

or to live according to your dogmas.

I was born to find my own truth

and make my own rules.

I was born to meet life full on

To get lost on Indian trains

To be seduced by dangerous men

To meet different faces, places and cultures

to be out in the jungle all night

To run with wolves

To be swept off my feet

To be taken by storm

To be heartbroken

Devastated

Stunned

Shocked

Lost

Thrown into the deep

I was born to get my hands dirty

To get sand in my mouth

Mud on my clothes

Thorns under my feet

I was born to jump into the abyss.

I was born to meet aliens

To do rituals

To be cracked open in ceremony

To go beyond time and space

To welcome magic

To totally loose myself

I was born to feel everything

To taste everything

The bitter taste of sorrow

The foul taste of deceit

The sweet taste of love

I was born to learn how to handle change gracefully

I was born to know the truth

to learn how to fly

I was born to learn how to speak the language of love

How to unchain my heart

How to shed everything

How to let go of all expectations.

I was born to learn how it feels to lose everything

except what really matters.

I was born to live a life that would strip away everything that wasn’t real

that wasn’t true

that wasn’t me

I am a phoenix.

I am born to spread my wings and fly towards the sun

To burn up and turn to ashes

To fall down to earth and rise up again

When I am old

I will be proud of my scars

My wrinkles

My memories

My stories

My wisdom

My freedom.

I was born to be free.

And therefore, I can’t stay.

Confession of a Recovered Mask Holder...

And the day arrived when she decided that she no longer needed the Mask of Anxiety, Pain and Suffering...There was no need to be anxious anymore. Because she learned to love herself as she was. She was loved in such a deep way that all her mental and heart wounds vanished...Yes....They did...

And it was The Beloved...The one Giver of Life that poured out Infinite Love into all the cracks of her heart. The mask of anxiety fell to the ground at that very moment when she realized her worth, her value, her place in the Universal Puzzle...

She knew instantly that if she wants to live and create, the mask of anxiety must go. Her Soul told her that it was not meant to be this way...For decades it was what kept her safe.

The wounds of the heart and the scars of the mind can heal. She knew that all is possible and yet it took her almost five decades to find her center...

She had to Re-Enter her Story and Excavate what matters...

As the Mask of Anxiety was put to rest, what matters was unearthed from the sands of time. Her poetry emerged. Her life was redefined and strengths she didn't know she was showed up...

Unease and unrest was replaced with Peace of Mind.

Her True Self was awakened...

She became a Woman on a Mission...

Now she must tell others about what she excavated from under the ruins of the past...

Because where there is ruin, there is also treasure...

She must tell others about the Illusion of Insignificance...

The Mask of Insignificance must be washed away from the beautiful faces of so many amazing Souls ready to shine their Bright Light...

She must tell others who still suffer how important and Significant they are...

She must tell them that they matter...

That poetry heals the Silence of what hurts...

Life is precious...Life matters...

Suffering of the mind and heart is not a friend...

It is a heavy mask that has no use anymore...

To make a contribution it is imperative to create from a place of inner peace and forgiveness for the self and others...

Until she realized that there is nothing to forgive...

Just to integrate...

It all happens in steps...It all happens by unearthing layer by layer of conditioning...Layer by layer of perceived truth...

Until she arrives at the Core...The Center of who she is...The Center of who she was meant to be...

And that woman was me...

And that woman is YOU...

YOU...Free....Embracing Your Significance...

Knowing that YOU MATTER...

YOU ARE IMPORTANT...

YOU ARE UNIQUE...

YOU ARE VALUABLE...

YOU ARE LOVED...

AND YOU LOVE...WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND SOUL ALL THAT YOU ARE...ALL THAT YOU WERE MEANT TO BE...

Without any mask hiding your true beauty...

I am waiting for you on the other side of pain...

Take the leap...Take a chance...

Jump...With all you've got...

Take that mask and throw it away as far as you can...

Together, we can heal ourselves and the Wound of the World...

Because YOU are a Woman on a Mission... <3 span="">

Unearth Yourself,

Sisterhood

“When we heal ourselves, others are healed. When we nurture our dreams, we give birth to the dreams of humankind. When we walk as loving aspects of the Earth Mother, we become the fertile, life-giving Mothers of the Creative Force.'

“When we honor our bodies, our health, and our emotional needs, we make space for our dreams to come into being. When we speak the truth from our healed hearts, we allow life abundant to continue on our Mother Planet.

“As women, we are continually writing the history of the Legacy of Women. We cannot point a finger at men or each other without owning the pain of past generations who forgot how to give or teach human compassion.

“Our own family trees are filled with teaching situations and with tragic examples that may have blinded our own Ancestors to the values of truth as it is found in love. Now, the destiny of wholeness of the human race falls to the Sisterhood because all things are born of woman.

“When each woman honors her Self, more raw, creative energy is available to be used by the whole to effect changes in the way humankind reacts to life.

“When women are no longer lost, asking others to tell them what they should do or how they should live, there will be great changes in our world. This is not to say that the friendships and bonds of women are not to be used; on the contrary, the support of other women who have walked the same path is paramount.

“This kind of support is based on truth and delivered with caring-without projections or judging another. That kind of support is healthy and productive, when other women create a safe place in which to share personal thoughts and offer alternatives in a respectful way. The sisterhood always supports every woman who is willing to surmount her own challenges in order to grow.

“The Legacy of Woman does not have to include the former hurts that have set woman against woman, women against men, or caused women to destroy themselves through sabotage. There is no need to get involved with the high drama and pettiness that has kept us from achieving human harmony when we are busy working on becoming our personal visions.

“Self-esteem is reclaimed when the feminine principle of nurturing the Self is practiced, instead of expecting our sense of wholeness to come from our relationship to another person.
When we care enough for ourselves to take the time we need to give to the Self, we will feel complete.

“In every instance, no matter how the situation presents itself, each individual is responsible for seeing her or his own hurt and for finding a way to heal it without making the other person responsible for that pain.

“This is the way of the feminine nurturing principle: going within, finding the problem, and remedying it through nurturing the self.”
~Jami Sams from her book The Thirteen Original Clan Mothers
