Luceat Lux Vestra

 

 

 

It's a darling girl, the darling girl.
With eyes as dark as night and a heart so true, and just so strong, set to live a darling life.
As years roll by, she'll grow up tall.
She'll sing a silent song, she'll find your piano, She'll find her voice.

She'll sing all the days long.
 All knowing of this ghost, to show her loving arms.
Sweet Pearl, I can feel your light shining down on me.
Go call a long lost desert brother, and many a sister too.

Go call on all the old ghost towns.
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown.
Though it all came so fast.
Two years soon past, before there was room for three.

My sister will grow, my mother will know, soon there will be room for me.
I was waiting on our angel ghost.
To show her loving arms.
Sweet Maria, I can see, your faint light shining down on me.

Like an old toy top, spins and stops.
Or tag and last walks in the bar.
A short life's wait, come winding down.
She was married in the Sun.

Now she sleeps with you Mumma.
Bitter sweet as this whole world.
But they tell me soon, he soon will have a darling girl.
 We waited on This Angel
To fill her loving arms.
Sweet Gaia,

We can always feel, your sweet light shining down on us.

StGH

 

Your Gifts

"Solitude is one of the most precious things in the human spirit. It is different from loneliness.
When you are lonely, you become acutely conscious of your own separation. Solitude can be a homecoming to your own deepest belonging. One of the lovely things about us as individuals is the incommensurable in us. In each person, there is a point of absolute nonconnection with everything else and with everyone. This is fascinating and frightening. It means that we cannot continue to seek outside ourselves for things we need from within. The blessings for which we hunger are not to be found in other places or people. These gifts can only be given to you by yourself. They are at home at the hearth of your soul."

by John O'Donohue

 Excerpt from ANAM CARA

Truth Bombs

 

Often, it is not because we don’t care that we leave situations

but because we choose to deepen the love that we have for ourselves

What happens when

The place

The people

The pitch and persona

lack congruence?

We leave.


What happens when

The edifice

The facade

The marketing, stalls,

are exactly that?

We shift. We Move on,
We choose to Leave.


Do we ever wait out The Ground Hog Days?

or

Out Weigh The Hampster Wheel Masks?

No Way!

Do we succumb to
The Living Inner Lie?
And settle?

or

Do we take the next
nearest best offer?
And settle?

A Vibrant Life is NOT muddy
Never settle. like silt,
For Less.
Than You Know.
You Are,

Enough!!!

The Quest,
Shone,

Does my heart feel free here?
Does my breath feel at ease?
Does my soul feel expandsive or contracting
as The Next Shift
Happens,

Nature and solitude
Pristine, clear, free To Be,
Earth, Air, Water, Fire,
These are Our Elements
The Core of The Values
Mother Earth,
and Me.

Yes,
Shake You, gently,
Wake Buddy The Sage,
Dirty Daze of a Challenge
So Good, All On Our Page.

And
Thank You
Wise Furrowed

Of Truth Bombs,

Odd busy bodies
and runny noses
we see and we saw
up and down
as we Grow.

Dear Strong Warrior

If you make human company too important you will not discover your true Self.

Relationships not based in truth are never entirely reliable and are rarely enduring.
Taking time to discover yourself is the best use of time.

Prioritize this.

 

One should not excessively seek partners or friends,

one should seek to know and be oneself.
As you begin to awaken to the Truth,

you start noticing how well life flows by itself and how well you are cared for.

 

Life supports the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs

of the one who is open to self-discovery.

 

Trust opens your eyes to the recognition of this.

Surrender allows you to merge in your own eternal being.

"Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.

Just keep going, no feeling is final.

For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,because it

serenely disdains to destroy us.

Every angel is terrible.”

 

Rainer Maria Rilke

 

 

"Wanting relief from our suffering is so ordinary, so valid, so human.

Engaging in spiritual practice, psychotherapy, or intimate relationship to feel better is very natural and can be honored as an authentic movement within the psyche.

Paradoxically, if we prioritize feeling better and finding relief we may not be able to go deep enough into the shadowlands, darkness, and the light where the gold is to be found, in those layers of being which are not perceivable when feeling better is our primary aim.

To take the risk not only to love another and allow them to matter, but to allow ourselves to be loved, to see that we are already loved.

 

It is an outrageous act of mercy and compassion to allow this in.

 

While we may believe our deepest fear is that we are not loved, to face the implications that we are fully loved as we are can shatter the ancient trance of unworthiness and shake a life forever.

It’s a bit contradictory, really.

 

And so it goes with the path of the heart.
 

 

 

 

 

Unresolvable, paradoxical, alive, tender, and never able to be pinned down by a mind scrambling for control and consistency, knowing intuitively that the impending confrontation with the unknown is inevitable.

 

How painful.

 

How majestic.

 

We can honor those parts that want to use our relationships and practices to make us feel better, while at the same time opening to a deeper dimension of why they have come into our lives and the true potential that they offer.

 

Not only to make us feel better and bring relief from the exhaustion of becoming, but to bring light to the darkness, to illumine the shadowy nether worlds of the inner landscape, revealing primordial beingness, essence, and unimaginable creativity.

 

As we struggle with our partners, children, friends, teachings, and practices, remember this is not evidence that we are doing it wrong, failed, or fallen short.

But that we are alive.

 

That our heart is open and beating, wired and longing for true connection.

 

It is evidence that some part of us yearns to enter more deeply into the mystery, to know the miracle implications of being alive in this human star, so rare and precious, to know why we have come here and how we can most wisely and skillfully help ourselves and others to never forget that brilliance.

To somehow contribute even in the most minuscule way to bringing heaven to earth."

Before The Heavens

 

 

A Fairy Light Welcome as we made our way out to Honeymoon Gap at White Gums

just outside Alice Springs, for the next creative inspiration of Desert Song Festival.

 

A performance of musical and poetic musing shared with

loved ones near and far beneath our Wonderous Milky Way.

 

Composer, Timothy Coghill and Creative Director, Amy Dwight, 

a string orchestra and Alice Springs choir presented a magical evening.  

 

Laying in the sand, nestled in our swags, rug pulled up to our chins,

eyes wide gazing upon the vastness of our glorious Milky Way,

a vibrant light was seen as a smiling crescent moon tonight.

 

An exquisite 90 minute performance as we drifted away on a surreal journey

combining natural bush sounds, strings, bells, gongs and sublime voice.

 

Surrendered to Sky, connected to earth,

we allowed ourselves to be enchanted by the

surrounding stillness of time and space.

A Yellow Shooting Star was the fitting and glowing encore.

 

The 2018 Desert Song Festival continues Our Happy Place.

Congratulations and Thank you to all who contributed to another

creative and magical evening.

Polish sharp protruding edges as they arise, Be gentle, soft and fiercely compassionate. To Self.
If we don't judge, there is no reason to forgive. No shit left to throw, Be a clear clean vessel.

The Eye of The Storm

“Come dance the silence down through the morning”

 

 

Rare red, open centred,

Bare flooded river, dance hard rock

as we flow together.

 

Release and cleanse and sway and join

In this succulent eye of a shared Wild Storm,

unique.

 

Come,

Pointed Sky Dancer,

Come,

feel the silence,

Come,

Shed Our Skin

and let's get started.

 Share,

our dark clouds of deep wells

come torrents, mold ours,

together.

 

Let movement untamed unplanned Be The Star

in our simple somewheres of Now,

This, see true nature in solitude

and Come, Be aligned; 

Intimate, Open, Sensual,

Alive.

Nature Moves

If you find a woman
with a wild heart
do not try to tame her.
You must adore her
recklessly, the way...
she is meant to be loved.

Do not try to quiet her,
for her roars will reach
far and wide.
She has something
important to say.
Help her say it.

Do not get in her way.
She stops for no one.
Do not try to change
the path she has chosen.
Learn also to love the wind
and let it change you.

My Core Desire
Is Her, Soul and Nature.

"When the bud breaks, it becomes a flower.

When the heart breaks, it becomes divine."

A SACRED JOURNEY

When you travel,

A new silence

Goes with you,...
And if you listen,
You will hear
What your heart would
Love to say.

A journey can become a sacred thing:

Make sure, before you go,

To bless your going forth,

To free your heart of ballast

So that the compass of your soul

Might direct you towards

The territories of spirit

Where you will discover

More of your hidden life;

And the urgencies

That deserve to claim you.

"It's easy for me to be afraid,

When I forget who I really am,

An infinite Spirit come to earth,

Channeling love through my head, heart, and hands.

Amidst the chaos, or perhaps as a result of the chaos, great healing can occur.

 The new Moon in Virgo this week portends an entire month devoted to actively addressing our wounds, physical, emotional, and mental.

As I mention in the report, this healing can only fully be accomplished after we
open, feel, allow, and love ourselves enough to let it out and let it go!

Uranus is involved in both the grand square and the grand trine!

In the sign of Taurus (self-love), it indicates that radical self love is the gateway to this opening of self to the healing hands and hearts of others.

 Identifying ourselves as divine beings of light can help us trust enough to allow ourselves to take off our armor, let down our defenses and accept the gifts the world has for us.

If, on the other hand, we identify with our temporary physical bodies, money, appearance, etc.
we will inevitably feel less secure and less able to express our needs,
ask for what we want, and relax enough to trust.

 Hoping you open yourself to your infinite nature, relax,
and enjoy the madness rather than run and hide......!"

 

"It's easy for me to be afraid,

"I've come to this belief that,
if you show me a woman who can sit with a man
in his real vulnerability, in deep fear, and be with him in it,
I will show you a woman who, A, has done her work
and, B, does not derive her power from that man.

And if you show me a man who can sit with a woman
in deep struggle and vulnerability and not try to fix it,
but just hear her and be with her and hold space for it,
I'll show you a guy who's done his work
and a man who doesn't derive his power
from controlling and fixing everything."

~ Brene Brown
 

Listening Receiving.

In each bare moment, we are either giving or receiving.

Much like an in-breath and an out-breath, you cannot do both at the same time.
Much like verbal communication, we firstly receive with all receptors aware, by truly listening, not just with our ears and not just to respond, but with all our sense organs.
We then contribute by giving and by showing we have listened to all the energy that was shared.

What this means is if you decide to be a multi dimensional receiver, you can pick up other people’s energies, the true state of their heart, their aura, their meridians, their intent behind the grossest energy they may choose to share, which is always the words. Behind the words lies so much more.

Do you see?

If you find yourself being affected by the energies of others during transmission, make an intention to align and shine your love and light instead.

Deep Listening, receiving well, is a divine gift.
We all love to be heard, fully. Be that quiet, still, receiver.
Practice healing others, receiving, through simple, still, deep listening.

Then when it is your turn to give, speak fully until you exhaust all you have to say.
Which may not be that much.
A few well chosen words, just like poetry, can communicate much.
If you have been well heard and listened to, especially in your family of origin during speech development phases of infancy, less speech is often more.

If however those who were exposed to the energies of  "(literal) silence is golden" "children are seen and not heard", "only speak when you're spoken to", "don't speak back, ever" "children do not have the right to speak", "you're ideas/dreams/words are only those of a child, what would you know"  you may develop delayed speech, speech impediments, a failure to fully speak your truth, from fear, shyness or other instilled conditioning.

This is why it is said silence speaks. Silence is a full response. There is no rush to speak, to respond, to simply fill the void of blissful silence, until what we wish to share comes from a deep place of authenticity. There may be no words in a moment of breathtaking beauty, or clarity.
This is a natural gift of the wordless and why nature speaks to us, if we get still and listen to the energy she transmits.

You are always in charge of your energetics and you get to choose what you lead with and what mode you are showing up in.

Listen and Rise

acoustic guitar echoing across empty spaces, streaming light, our holy,

moody coastlines, rocky shores, light houses come, and go

picnic rugs, soft pillows, blanket forts, back rubs and tiny tickles,

perfect roads, open skys the silence of white lines, unbroken

incense, bubbling streams, gathering from The Garden,

daytime moons and setting suns

pine tree forests, our perfect harvest.

 

New Sweet Chapters.

 

“The point of relationship is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude, and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust.

A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development.

But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole and before an immense sky.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

"Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my soul
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head"

"Oh What A Day"

 

 

"The Shade of A Cloud"

"To choose a lover is not a numbers game.
It is birthed from a deep and raw place within the soul—
a place where many of us rarely explore within ourselves and don’t really know.

That is why we choose our lovers based on surface characteristics
and miss the soulful connection our hearts are craving.

To choose a lover who is soul food is a process that first requires one to go within
and explore the deepest parts of oneself.

One must discover who they were before life told them who they should be.
One must shine a light into the darkness,
knowing that facing the demons that reside there is vital to self-discovery.

One must be willing to touch the places that ache, the longing within and the call of the heart.

One must be willing to be undone,
 to feel lost and to let go—of projections,
expectations and all the things you think love should be."
