Loss of Loved Ones

All of the feelings and emotions stirred up... Reminders of the path, the goal...
To continue to try to serve life as best as I know how, for where I am...
To continue to try to love as best as I can, for who I am in this very moment...

I will always come up short in so many ways...
I will come up short for so many reasons...
But I wish to continue to learn how to Live better...
I wish to continue to learn how to Love better...

Perhaps Loss, Love, and Life are all intertwined...
Reminders of each other...

Trying to Remember what used to drive me...

I'm trying to remember what used to drive me prior to losing myself in the power of romance... Slowly I'm starting to remember as I reflect on what I used to wish for... I wanted flow states... The timeless, meaningful moments of full engagement... I wished for finding ways of being which allowed for more equanimity... And finally, one of my greatest desires was to be magnanimous... I only remember the word, but now I have to look it up... I can't remember what I wanted to be more like...

Now I look and wonder if grooved paths are set...

Moth

Flying the night sky
Beckoned by glowing light
A willingness to be burned
And freed from physical form

Once Again

Here you are, once again
Only this time in my imagination
You hold me close as lovers do
Keeping me warm
Comforting me
Helping me to feel connected to the more
Inspiring me, filling me with an energy
A desire to expand
To be more than who I am
A tear flows from my eye:
Reunion

Art Pieces as Mirrors?

I think part of the value of art is how a piece can help to reveal the viewer, and some of their subjective thought processes, as the viewer attempts to interpret a piece. The projections of the mind blending in with what is perceived...

Perceptions and projections always in a dance...

Random word thought of the day= "Real-ationship"

A Real-ationship involves honoring the totality of a person and what IS. Working with the Isness that exists between two people.

That Which Breathes Life Into Us

So often I'm unconscious, forgetting all the various things that breath life into us... From the elements... The air, the water, the sun, the nourishing soil... Shelter... Love and Connections... There is so much around, and yet I find myself falling asleep to it... forgetting all that breathes life into our Beings...

May I learn to have more reverence and gratitude for all the Is...
