Dreamtime.

My heart is soft today
It whispers to me
The same way
It whispered to me
As a teenager
I remember
Rugged landscapes
Unkempt beauty …
Solitary wandering and dreaming
For hours in the humid evenings
…I never really fit in
At school…
These man made structures
Have always made me wonder

Australia…

Feeling at peace with the land
The smell of Eucalyptus trees
Crunchy undergrowth underneath foot and hand
Australia.

I remember her…

I need to wander
I need to go back to her
Find her strength
Her freedom
Her resilience
Her defiance
Wait…

She is here.
I just haven't been listening for some time…

Note To Self

All these notes
Notes to self
Just tear them up
Or place them on the shelf
Somewhere
And hear
This, note-to-self-maker:
Forget your to-do lists
Do it now!
And stop asking how...
Just find out as you go
And say hello
To the unknown
The only true home
Known
For certain
This is it
Your time is now
Forget the clock
It will only lock
Your dreams to a heavy timeline
Instead of being a lifeline
For taking hold of something new
For finding a different view
On this
Impatience you have
Paradoxically
With your procrastination
Your body is a peace loving nation
So bring it to your mind
To find
Stillness
And in stillness, a wealth
Of being
And this being
Your only true, note-to-self.

Of This, Be Certain.

Be certain that I cannot fill the gaps
For you
Just as you cannot fill mine
We are just reflections of each other
Mirroring a time
Inside a loving space
Where your face is mine
And mine is yours
The same
Energy
Divided between bodies
Meeting each other for the first time
Yet, remembering...
A time
Long ago
Once united...

So you see why I cannot fill the gaps? 
For you are already full
Of the unseen
A tangible form of the one 
That which was once united
And of which, we are just a mirage
Ever-changing
Malleable expressions
In the desert of creation.

Post-girl...

And what of the girl? she said...
And the reply was soft, consoling;
"Didn't you hear? Her job is done...
She asked you step in for her."
"Me?" I whispered.
"Yes. The heart has spoken,
and it requires the work of a woman."
And so I stepped into her shoes,
Ever so quietly that day,
Hoping I can fill the shoes
She spent her life making for me.

Every Day.

You're teaching me
Everyday
To not be afraid
That my bed
Doesn't have to be the same
As where I once laid
You're teaching me
To no longer hold back
But to flow
Go with the let go
Effortless effort
…From within
You're unfolding me
Like some complex origami
You understand the creases
The patterns
The puzzle
And I, I am in pieces
But not afraid
Because everyday
You teach me
That I am not the game
Nor am I the bigger picture
…But just one of the details
A small feature
Film playing out on the reels of creation
For a limited time only
And here you are shouting "show me"
But not the money
Not the game
You want my essence
And I demand the same
Openness of being
Strip down!
Show me more, more, MORE!

And so I will.

I will show you more
I will be the movie AND the entire film score
I will do this script I was handed, justice
Just bear in mind, I am NOT an actress
The truth cannot be played
Or read
Or understood from the head
The lines I need to know
Were written in my heart
Before it gave birth to it's first beat
And now they're pulsating
Through my veins
Screaming
"You are alive!!!"
So LIVE!
There is no time for mediocre
There is no time for drama
Just stripped back truth
Raw expression
To leave a cosmic karmic impression
For the next rebirth
The next generation
Of you
Me
And I can feel you
Life!
This is what you've been trying to tell me
Everyday
And now I can really hear you!
For you're teaching me
Everyday
That I am a tree
In the garden of existence
And now is my time
To grow
And embrace the sky.

The River Knows.

The river that flows
Only knows
The forms it will take
The shapes it will make
As it moves
As it flows.

Undefined.

Let them slide away
All these definitions:
What do you do?
Who are you with?
What is yours?
What is mine?
What have you done with your time?

...Well, if you're always trying to answer these questions
Then all you've been doing
Is trying to define

Justify
Summarise
Condition what is unconditional
Undefinable
From one moment to the next
We are

So let them slide away
These petty definitions
Leave no room
For the expansiveness of you and I.

If You Smile, The Reflection Will Always Smile Back.

Everyday when you smile
I understand what it means to smile back
With my eyes
With my heart
With my entire being...

Everyday when you smile
I know of a joy
That lives beyond
The confines
Of the physical mind
I know this
Because your joy mirrors mine

One joy
One love.

I Can...

I can divide or unite
I can add or subtract
I can live fiction
Or I can be fact...

Only I can answer what is real
And how this feels
For me...

True or false?

I can orchestrate a day in heaven
Or a day in hell...

:Truth.

Therefore this is our dare...

To see past that which divides
To pause before we react
In order to see what subtracts
Us
From the whole
Story:
Write yours with grace and integrity
So that we may reach the end as we know it
Feeling

United
Abundant
And real.

Becoming.

Always becoming,

We are...
