Been Waiting for a Long Time!

Published April 30, 2025 by tindertender

A member of Spirit Divine keeps singing a little tune … Lyrics, “I’ve been waiting for a long time!”

I see now after looking up the lyrics that it is “I’ve been hurting for a long time” but Spirit Divine says, “Waiting” rather than hurting … so …

Lyrics:

That girl thinks that she’s so fine
That soon she’ll have my mind
That girl thinks that she’s so smart
That soon she’ll have my heart
She thinks in no time flat
That she’ll be free and clear to start
With her emotional rescue of love that you’ll leave torn apart

That girl thinks that she’s so bad
She’ll change my tears to joy from sad
She says she keeps the upper hand
‘Cause she can please her man
She doesn’t use her love to make him weak
She uses love to keep him strong
And inside me there’s no room for doubt
That it won’t be too long

Before I tell her that I love her
That I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I’d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her love

I’ve been hurting for a long time
And you’ve been playing for a long time
You know it’s true
I’ve been holding for a long time
And you’ve been running for a long time
It’s time to do what we have to do

(I’m talkin’ ‘bout that girl, that girl)
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)

That girl knows every single man
Would ask her for her hand
But she says her love is much too deep
For them to understand
She says her love has been crying out
But her lover hasn’t heard
But what she doesn’t realize is that I’ve listened to every word

That’s why I know I’ll tell her that I love her
That I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I’d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her love now

I love her
And I want her
And my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I’d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To begin her love

I love her
I want her
My mind and soul and body needs her
Oh, tell her that I’d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that, oh-ohh-ohhh….

Say I love her, that I want her
That my mind and soul and body needs her
Tell her that I’d love to, that I want to
That I need to do all that I have to
To be in her – that girl!

That girl, that girl!
Oh, that girl, that girl, that girl, that girl, ohhh

Comforting the Inner Child

Published April 28, 2025 by tindertender

Often times we defend ourselves via anger due to feeling the need to protect the inner child from hurt. Be that suppressed ice-cold passive anger or outright active anger.

Every trigger is an opportunity to respond in a more loving way. I don’t mean being a pleaser or a victim and allowing someone to treat you badly. I mean being able to be compassionate which means unconditional loving with ‘healthy boundaries.’

Sometimes you will react strongly when the button is pushed, other times you will have space enough to move away and de-escalate the hurt. When you do get space, even for a few minutes, it’s an opportunity to be loving towards your inner child and reassuring them that they are safe within you. They are sensitive to discordant vibrations within the nervous system. They need to hear from you!

This dialogue with the inner child helps in calming the hurt and calming the nervous system, so you can find a healthy response rather than a reaction.

We are all a work in progress.
One breath one step at a time.
Your inner child needs to feel safe within you, and the best person to give them that reassurance, is you.

Be the One Who Heals

Published April 27, 2025 by tindertender

Ay-hay, nitotem. Sit with me by the fire awhile. Let me tell you a story—one the ancestors placed in my heart when I was young and full of hurt, and one that’s kept me walking straight even when the winds of sorrow tried to bend me.

Long ago, before the town came, before the hydro dams took the breath from our rivers, there was a boy named Kīsikāw, which means “He Who Comes From the Sky.” He was born during a thunderstorm—his first cries were swallowed by the roar of the heavens, and the old ones said he was destined to carry lightning in his heart. But that lightning—it’s a dangerous thing, êkwa—because it can burn just as easily as it can shine.

Kīsikāw grew up in a house where love was a quiet, broken thing. His father, wounded by residential school, carried pain like a second skin. He didn’t know how to be gentle. His words struck like fists. His silence cut deeper. And his mother, she tried—oh, how she tried—but she was drowning in her own grief. The boy learned early that some wounds don’t bleed on the outside.

When Kīsikāw was older, he carried that pain like a bone knife tucked under his ribs. He judged quickly, he rejected before he could be rejected, and his shame made him sharp. People saw him as cold, but really, he was just trying not to break apart.

Then, one day, an old woman named Nôhkom Iskwew came to him. She had eyes like the still waters of Pimicikamak, deep and watching. She said, “Grandson, the hurt you carry—did it make you stronger, or just harder?” He couldn’t answer. “You carry the hurt of generations, but you have the chance to be the one who lays it down. Be the one who breaks the chain, not the one who binds it tighter.”

He sat with that. It didn’t make sense at first. How do you heal by opening old wounds? But she told him: “When you were judged, did you not cry out for understanding? When you were cast aside, did you not long for someone to accept you, as you are? Then be that someone.”

And slowly—like the river thawing in spring—he began to change. He learned to listen without defending. To forgive without forgetting. To speak from his heart instead of his pain. He chose to be gentle where his father was harsh. To love fiercely where he was taught to be silent. He became the man he needed as a boy, and in doing so, he healed not only himself, but his children, and their children too.

So I say to you, kîsikâw pîsim, sun-child: be the one who breaks the cycle. Choose compassion over cruelty. Choose to be medicine, not more poison. You are not what happened to you—you are what you choose to become from it.

That is our way. That is the power of pimâtisiwin—the sacred life. Carry it gently.

She is Your Mirror

Published April 25, 2025 by tindertender

Men, unfortunately, do not always understand a very simple truth: the woman, when she loves… is intensely reciprocal.

Female nature is like an echo, an emotional reflection.
Let’s absorb man’s attitude towards us on an intuitive and energetic level — his words, his actions, his intentions… and if these match each other.

And then, just… we give it back.
What goes around — comes around.
Sometimes like tenderness, care, peace and a home to rest from the world.
Other times… like coldness, distance and a closed door forever.

Because a woman is not a grudge
She’s not vindictive.
It’s a mirror.
And it reflects exactly what you have put into it.

Do you want a garden? Take care of it.
Do you want love? Love her.
Do you want loyalty? Be worthy of trust.

If you have a calm, warm, loyal and loving woman by your side — it’s not a coincidence. It is the result of your actions.
And if next to you there is coldness and emptiness, it’s not a coincidence either. You are a reflection of what you sow.

Look at your woman… and you will see who you really are.
Because she is your mirror.

Real Is Rare

Published April 19, 2025 by tindertender

Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.
~ Rumi

I dream of the day
When everyone
Comes to understand
That being a Kind, Honest, Compassionate
And Loving Person
Is in fact
Cool…♡♡♡

Metamorphosis

Published April 15, 2025 by tindertender

We stand at the threshold of a great dawning
Something deep within life is changing
An era is ending & at the very core of creation
Something new is being born
We are awakening from a long, collective sleep, an in-vitro
Dreaming deep within the womb of our Mother Earth
Now is the time of a great shifting of cosmic wheels
Which will result in the reformation of our
Earth & trigger a radical shift in consciousness
A galactic tidal wave of light is descending upon the Earth
Activating the highest potential, raising the frequency
Reality is being reformed, redefined
The activation of new neural pathways will trigger new perceptions
New information, new impulses & a re-calibration of DNA
Open yourself to these higher dimensional frequencies
Let go. Love each other in these coming times
Be kind to each other
Gather in community, share yourself, live your dream
Live your heart. Open
Open yourself
Be prepared for the challenges to come
The dark times of chaos & upheaval
We will experience a dynamic re-calibration of electromagnetic fields
& Earth systems on a global scale
Stay present
Stay calm & centered
Try not to judge what is happening
Surrender to the process
Hold firm in the knowledge of what is being birthed
The process of birthing is an awesome undertaking
An arduous task, often fought with intensity
Stay in the heart. Stay connected to Beloved friends & family
Remember that this too shall pass & is a necessary purification
A great purge of all that not in resonance with
What is being born within us
All will be redeemed & reformed in miraculous ways
Chaos will become peace & sorrow will become joy
Trust
Trust with love
The butterfly is a marvellous demonstration of the power
Of trust & vulnerability & in the miracle of metamorphosis
After all, what is a butterfly if not the flowering of caterpillar
Beyond its wildest dreams?
Emerging from the womb of the chrysalis, the butterfly
Discards its restrictive silk and shell
To inherit a magical new world
Of flowers, breezes & sunshine
A world of freedom & delight & a celebration of its divine nature
Spreading her wings for the first time, she has no idea whether
She can fly, she simply opens her wings
In perfect confidence & is effortlessly
Conveyed into the spiral dance of graceful flight
As you turn your light inward & witness your true nature
You become
An empty mirror & go beyond beliefs or doctrines
Dissolving the veils, the formless takes form
Going or coming, we are in the right place
As the veils are lifted, we will perceive worlds
Of unimaginable beauty
Self-transforming astral worlds of light will
Shine down & interpenetrate
The density of matter, making it translucent, less dense, & more
Permeable to our thoughts & feelings
Multi-dimensional reality & the interconnectedness of all things
Will be as clear as sunlight
And just as the light is not separate from the sun & the wave
Is not separate from the ocean, so shall we realise our connection
To the source & recognise ourselves in each other, as one vast ocean
Of love & light. Let the divine recognise the divine
Lights will find other lights
And as the spark ignites within you
So too will it ignite within others
In a majestic radiance of consciousness & set the world
Alight in its magnificence
A new world without fear, without war, without greed in the safe
Custodianship of an awakened species, manifesting peace with love
Light & celebration
May the divine Mother bless all sentient beings as her children
May the ascended ones bless mankind
May religion be swept away by the revelation of what we are
May the children of the Earth understand that this is to be a
Birthing place for a new humanity
The birthing of a new woman, utterly discontinuous from the past
Released, transformed, metamorphosed into a multidimensional being
Conscious, Whole & FREE

Blessing

We call up on celestial realms,
the Angelic beings, the planetary guides and protectors,
and the ascended ones
to bless mankind and to be present here with us.
We call up on the Divine light of Love, Truth and Harmony
to shine in places that need healing and guide our way.
We ask for these blessing with great reverence,
from our Mother – the Earth, the Sky, the Moon, the Stars,
the Sun – our Father.
May we always remember we′re pure consciousness,
the essence of Life, the source of all things.
May we find the courage to let go fear and the pain of past conditioning.
Let us walk upon the Earth gently, as true Spiritual Warriors,
into dimentional midwifes giving birth to our True self.
Letting go of separation, evolving beyond limitation
into divine self-expression thereby assisting into a co-creation
of a dawning light filled world.
Om Shanti, Shanti…
