Love Reigns Where It Rains


Such joy pervades my entire being this day
As my future has opened widely


I'm ready to uproot and settle my entire self 

:gently:
Into rich soil
So that I may stand
firmly
.
..
...
....

Oh joy! 
           Abound

when Love reigns where it rains .

                                              ..
                                            .. .. ....

I can hardly believe it's true

What you said of me
And what I mean to you


You're willing to risk
To stand
To compromise


Opening yourself enough so the light can start to shine on not just me,


But on everything you see


I don't think you realize that you grow infinitely

Yes! you are the sun when love reigns


Sow with me your intention deeply 

As we piece our lives together 
In peace

Sewing our patches of vast experience 

(you.Together.me)

Into a beautiful comfort 

Over many lifetimes

For us both

(unity)

Essence of Your Presence


And by your side forever be
The stillness lies in front of me
The burning leaves strong in the air
Remind me that you’re always there
(You’re heaven)
The disconnect becomes more strong
As days progress to harder, long
But in the center of all I know
Does Spirit speak
And Love must grow
(You’re bliss)
The buds must bloom
The water flows
Another season comes and goes
And only you the secret know
(Your kiss)

Catalyst of Courage (song)


Until the last day we set for the shore
I’ll know you’re the one that I’m thankful for
The trees so delightful
So rooted
So true
And I’m convinced their leaves led me to you
Yes, I can’t help but feel the breeze led me to you

Twisting and turning
But really just straight
Still pushing on with you ‘til it gets late

But the waves they will split us
I’m sailing out east
Your direction is west
It brings me to my knees

When our routes tangle
Our bodies are one
And I want them that way ‘til my life is done
Yes, I want them that way till my life is done

Feel lightly
Even though you’re feeling deeply
Swim lightly
Even through you’re drowning deeply
Sail lightly
Even though you’re swimming deeply

Tread lightly on my heart

So hurt, you and her
So lost in your pain
You swore that you’d do it never again
But isn’t life better with strong love in your heart
Than to live from a place where it all fell apart?
To decide from a place from which it all fell apart?

Feel lightly
Even though you’re dreading deeply
Speak lightly
Even though you’re screaming deeply
Fly lightly
Even thought you’re fearing deeply

Tread lightly in my heart

Your gaze like a bullet
That pierces my pain
I wonder when I’ll ever see you again
Yes, I wonder if I’ll ever see you again

Life is constructed of memories, times
I know you have helped me to redefine mine
So I extend my hand as we run to the shore

As we become one with the sun

The hurt and the darkness is done

No longer do we have to run

Away

I want to discover the truth in this new
Feeling I have when I say I love you

This knowing I have when I say

I love you

Lessons from South America

I can't even believe how simultaneously short and long this trip has been.

What comes to me is my resistance to goodbyes, even if in the moment I am seemingly or really feel like I am apathetic when in company of others. When goodbyes happen, it's hard for me to think it's unlikely that I will ever see the person again-the finality is shocking and almost haunting. 

To share laughter, music, joy, smiles, and love with one another
To really live and not worry all the time
To bathe in a moment with complete strangers 

This is really what life is all about. 

To not exchange information can be scary. 
To be final about what an experience means to you is courageous. 
Or maybe disconnected. 
Or maybe, above all, genuine.

It lies in these moments of pure connection between people the reason for living and for this life experience. 

As a wise man from Isla del Sol told me:
Nada es por casualidad. Todo es posible, nada seguro.
(Nothing is by coincidence. Everything is possible, nothing guaranteed)

I am grateful to share time with people from all over the world. Peace is the truth of what exists here. War is powered by ego.

People have different motives for saying yes to this life experience and each expression is like an intricate part of a garden, flourishing, renewing, revising all in a perfect way. 

We all have a seemingly separate identity, and sometimes we forget to look at the faint, yet strong lines that connect everything we have seen, know, and even those beautiful things we aren't yet conscious of.

Love is truly here in every moment, so tangible if we just shift our attention that way.

My resistance to saying goodbye helps me understand that I can choose to look from a wider angle toward the events that occur in my life. 
By doing this, I internalize and truly understand that we are all one in the same, nothing is final, and that we are eternally connected in the Highest Vibration, the All There Is. 

I can breathe into that with great gratitude and certainty as I leave this beautiful continent.

Soul Food

Our food is very much alive. There is a life energy to it. Looking at food as just calories to consume may be an impoverished viewpoint of how we fuel ourselves. Food is sacred, delicious, and healing. Let's choose well and be ever so grateful.

Today's Theme

Today I will let go of that that is not mine and anything that does not serve me.

Collision of Science and Spirituality

"Calculations on the formation and evolution of the Universe have been performed that deliberately varied the values-just slightly-of certain fundamental physical constants. The result? 

A Universe in which life as we know it could not exist. 

For example, if the difference in mass between a proton and electron were zero, or small (less than the mass of an electron at 0.511 MeV/c^2), there would be no atoms: electrons would be captured by protons and never released again. 

Such results have given rise to a philosophical idea called the Anthropic Principle, which says that if the Universe were even a little different than it is, we could not be here. 

It might even seem that the Universe is exquisitely tuned, almost as if to accommodate us." (Giancoli)

Beautiful.
