The Stars Above

All that I am
And all that I'm gonna to be
Will the stars keep on shining above

All that I'm not
And all that I want to be
Will the stars help to keep us aligned

So that our love
Will find our way through the night
To become what it always could be

Away From Home

For me Home is being able to tap into the places that acknowledge our deepest connection: Tapping into the Mystery.

Being away from home feels like something missing, floating far away from orbit, from the strongest gravitational pull. Attending to lesser desires has its own pull, but not with the same breadth and gravity... not enough to completely fill the cup but for a moment... but enough to fill a small, yet somehow important, portion.

In the Grip of Overwhelming Forces

In the grip of overwhelming forces...
Pushing me towards places I do not know if I am capable:
Desire for the unreachable

To Meld with Unconscious Energies

To meld with unconscious energies, the ineffable... Ultimately it seems that is what I seek. To engage with what feels soulful to me... To find what feels like it has and always has been a part of me... To open my eyes to all of those things...

Psychological Energy Expenditure and The Path of Least Reistance

There is a phenomenon where we tend to like to give ourselves credit for the effort that we put in. We are often happy about ourselves, expending our psychological energy, even doing things that feel a bit challenging or uncomfortable. And while it may be true there is effort involved, we tend to expend effort within the framework of our own psychological tendencies, following the path of least psychological resistance. We give effort, but it is within a frame.

Devotion

One of the strongest parts of my identity, or how I view myself, involves devotion. For those things I hold near and dear to my heart, the things I believe to be most important... I continue to be unwavering and devoted to keep on going in the direction I believe in.

The Wholeness In the Holidays

Holidays represent and encapsulate the wholeness of our being, from the most primitive to the most high... Our deepest longings and our most terrifying fears... intertwined, yet put into a place that acknowledges those parts. The most wholesome and unwholesome in an ongoing dance for what it takes to live and what it means to live, and how to go about the process of living and dying.
