Scream Fire! or Screen Fire?

Fire, fire. toil and trouble
we protect them from "The Burnies"
we teach them of The Heat
we keep our babies, kids and tweens, safe,
away from matches, scalds,
and bath time boiling feet.

But somethings so obvious as digital addicts
something more insidious and feral than heat
Are dished daily diets of babysitting screens,
The SIMs, The WOW and The COD,
this blood lust and carnage as "games"
The Bonfire of TVDVDNETFLIXCABLE
unfettered oceans of cellular connection
a world wide web in Their Pocket;
unregulated untaught uncaring,
Shopping Buy parents? Dross? Gross?
Or Not?


Fire breathing socmed dragons
as we invite burnt out app patterns
Hotter stem cells and crispy tender brains
as continuous partial attention
fractures pathways, fries eyes and
Creates Unpresenced Monsters
with Notre Damned hunches
As we moan about warming Our Planet
when we happily Fry Our Youths Brains

Be Cause

Because
it's not about me
at all in
un
conditional

Because
Be
Comes collision
let heart spaces explode
as infinite meteor Love
showers,
reign.

Because
Your actions
are
irrelevant as
My Love Is Play, Full
Here, unmanifested,
(death too was never born)
Unconditional, give,
without negation,
To burn star bright
To receive light and
stay.

Be
cause
My Love is All That,
My Trust and Respect
Are Not.

I Wonder What's Over That Next Crest

"When I use the term “somatic,” I am referring to bodily-based experience, raw sensations in the body in contrast to thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, or even emotions (which can often include a narrative component).

If we drop underneath the interpretations of immediate experience, we find a very alive world of sensations such as contraction, expansion, freezing, speed, pressure, excitement, numbing, intensity, flatness, nausea, constriction, spaciousness, dullness, warmth, and cold. We can experience these on their own as well as components of more complex conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.

In a moment of emotional activation – say with panic, despair, shame, or rage – it can be helpful to temporarily set aside these words and make direct contact with what is unfolding in our immediate experience. In doing so, we may discover that we cannot find “anxiety” or “shame” (these are already interpretations of a particular configuration of experience), but instead we discover a very unique assembly of specific thoughts, feelings, and impulses.

For many of us, the habit is to turn from this material, to exit into interpretation and other forms of dissociation as we have come to associate certain self-states with being unsafe, overwhelmed, and on the brink of being thrown outside our window of tolerance. However, many have discovered that is the turning from themselves in times of need that is the actual root cause of so much additional suffering and struggle.

In moments of activation, we need ourselves more than ever, to encode new pathways of self-care, replacing the older circuitry of self-aggression and self-abandonment with the slower responses of empathy, attunement, curiosity, and compassion.

No, it’s not easy.

But we can go slowly, one moment at a time.
Just one second is enough. More than enough. And from that “one second” a new world is born.

In addition to the thoughts, feelings, and habitual behaviours, there is often a lot happening in the body at the level of raw sensation. Most of us were not trained to attune to this level of experience and it can take some practice.

There is valuable information in the body 

which presents itself during 

moments of emotional intensity 

and it is both wise and also kind 

to tend to it as part of our inquiry.

To be sure to include the body in our work and not stop at the thoughts/ beliefs or even pre-labeled, generalized emotions or conditions. To be curious during challenging times and drop down into the body to make contact with the life that is surging there. Not necessarily to privilege the somatic over the other layers, but to include it, to use everything we can in our experience to understand and care for this precious human form.

It is incredibly important, intelligent, and compassionate to attend to each of the dimensions of our sacred human experience. All are holy in their own way and as a system are a true miracle. Especially in times of suffering, confusion, and struggle, it is an act of kindness to consider each of the levels and what they may be trying to share with us. Perhaps this is the true meaning of integration, to bring the layers together in one act of mercy, wisdom, and love.

In our world and in these crazy times, perhaps it is especially important to remember the body, the vessel, for it is a sanctuary of immense intelligence and majesty"

Blow Your Own, Trump, Pet...

Mother Earth ~ Father Sky

How can I love you from purity?

How can I love you from presence?

How can I love you from spaciousness?

How does our Love Grow?

How can I love you beyond both words and desire?

How can I love you better, 

whilst longing to be held, cared for and nurtured?

How can I love you so you are not overwhelmed by

 my fire, my needs, my calling, 

My BeLoved?

How can I love you, better, so you are 

totally free to be totally you?

Let us simply water this garden
and watch it grow.

Song of the Sea

by Rainer Maria Rilke

Timeless sea breezes,

sea-wind of the night:

you come for no one;

if someone should wake,

he must be prepared

how to survive you.

Timeless sea breezes,

that for aeons have

blown ancient rocks,

you are purest space

coming from afar…

Oh, how a fruit-bearing

fig tree feels your coming

high up in the moonlight.

Moving The 5 Pranas

"In close relationships there may always be ruptures which arise in the field of lovers and friends. When we take the risk of allowing another to matter, when we open our bodies and our hearts to them, a call is sent out to the lost ones of the inner family, an invitation to return home.

Relationship has an uncanny ability to illuminate those parts of ourselves that we have lost touch with – the orphans of the emotional world, and the emissaries of our unlived lives. As wisdom-guides, they remind us of the two great relational fears, of being abandoned or overwhelmed by the other. We’re just not sure if we want to take that kind of risk.

As we deepen along the way, we may discover that the “other” is not only those fellow travelers that we meet, but that there is also an “inner other” who also longs to be known, to be held, and to be a part of the love story of our lives. This “other” yearns more than anything for intimacy, to no longer be shut out, and to enter into union with us exactly as we are.

The lost sadness, the disallowed joy, the unmet rage, the repressed grief. The barely remembered peace, the dissociated despair, the forgotten beauty. These ones are alive and will continue their journey to find you. They will never give up and will continue to take form as your lovers, family members, and friends, including those who irritate you the most.

The invitation of the beloved, in each of its forms, is to step fully into the crucible of relationship where we no longer limit the mystery of love’s expression, resisting the temptation to have the fires of love conform to our requirements. And to open to the reality that perhaps the purpose of relationship is not to provide consistent feelings of safety, certainty, connection, and validation.

The beloved has not come to confirm what we think love is – or the ways we have come to believe we must be seen - but rather to introduce us to the creative terrain of the unknown, and to the poetic depth of our own hearts. To reintroduce us to the inner family and the soul parts that have become lost along the way.

As we reunite with these ones and allow them safe passage, we remove the burden from the external other to take care of this sacred task for us, which was never theirs to carry. They are able to return it to us, as the ultimate act of love, where it will be safe enough for them now to come closer."

Try this simple method before assuming ...

It's called asking and honest communicating

Trusting Truth

On the 15th of May Venus will enter her own sign of Taurus and Mars enters Cancer shifting the energy and focus from outer activity to inner reflection and processing.

A full moon in Scorpio this coming weekend on the 18th illuminates our deepest desires and needs through the emotional body. 

There is a need to sit with out feelings and tune into the depth of information that can now be coming from out of our soul. 

Mars in Cancer desires to create safe-space so to process his emotions so to discover his own inner-needs. Venus in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus for the first time since 1936 the same day of our full moon awakening us into new insights and awareness of our bodies, immediate environments, relationship with resources, money and exchange of resources in general.

We’re also getting a jolt of awareness of just who we may be sharing this journey towards self sufficiency, simplicity and greater harmony between self and Nature. 

Asteroid Pallas Athena in Libra squares asteroid Juno in Cancer the same week on the 14th indicating a creative tension between our own creative and intellectual sharing vs. emotional connection in relationships bringing a need to include others in our creative sharing while being true to ourselves. 

The balance between outer stability and inner attunement continues to be a central theme and as Mars approaches the north node of the moon now though June we are learning to direct our energy to take care of our inner needs in balance with outer obligation; 

Mastering self-security by acting and responding to inner feeling and emotion without either suppressing, avoiding or being swept downstream by them.

The full moon in Scorpio illuminates our unconscious shadow and an opportunity to embrace what may be considered negative, complex, emotional as being valid, authentic and in fact a key to unlocking our total potential and power to change ourselves and surrounding world.

May we trust 

intuition over conditioning, 

wholeness over perfection and 

connection over competition.

Make Time For You

To the mums, friends of mum, care givers, sisters, aunties, step mums, mother in-laws, 

teachers, role models, coaches ... and everyone else that plays a ‘mum’ role! 

May you all have an extra special day being celebrated! 

But it is a time to also acknowledge the people in our lives that don’t have their mum 

around and maybe give them a special hug, cuddle, kiss and little love to say 

“I love you and I am thinking of you”! 

It can be a hard day for some and a beautiful day for others. 

Come together and share love with the women around you. 

We should celebrate and thank 

Our Wonderful Mothers, 

everyday.

Blessings To All Mothers.

The Secret Place

"Falling apart, holding it all together. Then falling apart, then coming back together. Cycles of clarity and confusion. Hopelessness and hope. Heartbreak and bliss. Knowing who we are and why we are here in one moment, deflated in the next as an old dream is recycled into the vast.

As it is in the natural world, inside the heart the sacred process of death and rebirth unfolds, an expression of the unity of matter and spirit.

Inside the opposites it is alive and creative, but there is no solid ground from which to orient. No familiar reference point to look back to or rest in. Only tenderness. Raw. Open. Pregnant. Potential. But what will be reborn from the ashes has not yet been given.


If we remain too identified with “falling apart,” we lose contact with that which was never unhealed, untransformed, and was never “together” to begin with. That innate radiance, the holiness of the breath, and the miracle of having an open sensitive nervous system. We disconnect with the magic of embodied presence, the wisdom of the earth, and the unshakable confidence in our true nature.

But if we remain too identified with “holding it all together,” we split off from our organic spontaneity, imaginative vulnerability, and the truth that the beloved will take whatever form it must to reveal its qualities within us. Raw, achy, illuminating heartbreak may approach at any time, requesting safe passage inside. But it is through this broken aliveness that the poetry of our lives will flow.

Right in the middle of “falling apart” and “holding it together” is the secret place. Go there. It is here where light and dark are in union. For just a moment the veil parts and we are able to see the weaving of the particles of the sacred world."

Sweet Child of Mine, Never Wait.

Vast Sea, rolls,
Space, time, eternal
She who never waits.

Rhythm sings, simply Be
the road, open, calls.
Wonder, full rises, curves
as line lyric white,
chapters shift and Our laughter,
Our Music,
waits for no One.

These rare creations
depths of Fire, her Earth,
These words, we feel, we flow,
We See, We Know.

This Portal
This Place
This Imagination,
This Heart of Her Patient Growth.
We rest in vast wisdom, alive,
always moving,
see.

This Beauty Her Eye
This Tempest Storm,
Our Air, This Dream, Our Art
Called A Fluid Life
Who Never
Waits.

Magic and Mystery

To stand on the rooftops and proclaim 

that you are not a project to be solved, 

but a mystery to be lived.

by Matt Licata

"It is unlikely today is going to be the day when you figure life out; when you heal your past, resolve all your wounding, get all your questions answered, or know what is coming next.

It is unlikely today will be the day you finally manifest all the great things you have been told will make you happy. Call in the soul mate that will complete you. Permanently wiggle into some state of high vibration, invulnerability, and freedom from confusion. Or complete some mythical journey of spiritual awakening, landing in a fabulous ongoing state of untouchability.


What a relief. 

A day of celebration … 

of what you are. And the end of the dream of postponement.

You need no longer delay full, embodied participation here. 

You need not wait any longer, until all of these things are accomplished, until you’ve checked off all the boxes on the great self-improvement project that so many of our lives have become.

Today may not be the day for answers but to finally let your heart break open to the vastness of the question. 

To stand on the rooftops and proclaim that you are not a project to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.

Buried inside the glory and the mess, right in the core of the not-knowing, hidden inside feeling and emotion, soul is alive. 

Return into slowness and into this current breath, which contains all of the seen and unseen worlds. You are here, rippling and pregnant with life. There is no urgency on the path of the heart.

The miracle has already occurred. The evidence for that is the longing inside your heart. 

Not the longing for “more,” not even your longing, but the longing of the Beloved to unfold here, with you as vessel."

"I am being measured, I'm not quite sure what for, But I know that deep within, There really is much more. Happy Beltane new Moon coming Saturday in Taurus, the Bullgod of fertility and power! A time of reaching deep down within to dig, search, uncover, and bring to the surface all your inner gold. Sure, it's challenging out there, but the bullgod within has so much more, more than could be needed, there's never a need to worry. This Beltane is marked with a wild and free Tsquare personally designed by those who know to reflect our need to release the built up pressure, jump for joy, shout it out, and throw our cares to the wind. Let the wind deal with it! Acts of great creation can't be bothered with the petty problems of everyday life, we've got big work to do. So let's get on with celebrating this beautiful life on a beautiful planet with other beautiful friends and neighbors. Rejoice!" by Kaypacha
