Who would of thought

Who would have thought it possible that a tiny little flower could preoccupy a person so completely that there simply wasn't room for any other thought.
~ Sophie Scholl

The Garden of my Soul

the garden of my soul,
releases my bloom-
my
she,
awaits her-
flowering.
tender rebirth,
of my secret holding-
I lift my heart,
through hands releasing-
open arms wide,
to hold my sky-
awake from my night,
unfolding-
naked from my despair,
naked from my disguise-
clothe in the,
fragrant beauty-
of just me.
rose to thorn,
rain to storm,
sand to desert flower-
I have the power,
to look with eyes-
tenderly,
what wounds me-
heals me,
brings me to my flourishing.

"Live to elevate yourself and others." 

~ Yogi Tea

Do you

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.

Rumi

With every breath

Rumi

With every breath I plant the seeds of devotion - I am a farmer of the Heart.

~ Rumi

If I wander far

if I wander far,

from myself now and then-
a thread of love,
reels me to my soul again,
against all doubts-
that lavish my mind,
in time…
when I unwind from me,
unraveling-
love’s thread pulls me back,
to me.
when I stray,
into my wandering thoughts-
that catch me,
gasping for air-
no fear will keep me there,
in love’s weave of life-
into her canopy,
I am caught-
carried back to my heart,
back to the gentle wisdom-
that shows me,
the warmth of light-
guiding me back to me.

Wasting Time

Heart's Calling

no more wasting my time,
start living my life-
standing at the edge,
all this time-
when will I realize,
I can fly-
soar on through to,
the breath of my sky-
no more wasting my time,
take a moment to see-
I am more than just me,
got to let go of what’s-
holding onto me,
sometimes I leave on-
regret and memories,
like a garment to wear-
making it harder out there,
in the world.
So let it fall from my skin,
see the truth that’s within-
no more wasting my time,
got to get on living my life-
no tasks or fix it lists,
making it harder-
than it is,
with no shame or-
or no blame,
or giving it a name-
to hang heavy over me,
I can let go-
and be just me.
no more wasting my time,
let me rise with the stars and shine-
in the corner of my sky,
see the brilliance of my light-
and I can fly…
and I can soar…
I am more than what people see,
I am the she-
inside of me,
living my life from the inside.

Simplification

"The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. 
A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer
 well-being that places harmony in one's life." — Peace Pilgrim 

Joy

 Focus on the things that truly give you joy, so that you can continue to attract them in your life!

Sometimes

sometimes…
the door that is closed,
is me-
I seal the way,
to path,
to choice,
to living,
closed in my own sheltering-
it prevents me,
from entering-
through to the other side,
of me.

sometimes…
I am the void,
that speaks of unspeakable doom-
fear that is like,
a weight to my feet-
unable to move,
I release it to-
my soul’s choice,
feet reach high-
to jump across,
my uncertain sky-
leaping into my movement.

sometimes…
I am my doubt,
I create this space-
in my mind,
trying to figure it all out-
let the lessons come,
let the living come,
to serve the best of me-
if I step,
out of my way-
to find the one,
who is always here-
waiting for me to choose…
to live,
to dance,
to breathe.
