Transparency

Published September 25, 2024 by tindertender

“When you are transparent, you become unmistakable—no shadows, masks, or veils to blur the truth of who you are. In your transparency, others can look through you and into the core of your being, where your heart and essence glow with an unfiltered light. You stand as you are, clear and direct, with a kindness that needs no explanation.

There is no mystery to untangle, no enigma to decipher. You leave no one puzzled or lost in the aftermath of your words or actions. You are not a riddle but a presence fully understood. In your honesty, you refuse to hide. You carry the courage to show up fully, stripped of pretense or armor. You are bravery embodied, raw truth in human form.

In this nakedness, you don’t waver or seek approval. Your transparency is not a weakness but the purest strength. It is a declaration: “This is who I am”. You let yourself be seen, and in that openness, you stand out in a world that often shrouds itself in layers of pretense. Your authenticity shines like a beacon, guiding others toward their own.”

Cousin Itt

Published September 25, 2024 by tindertender

Awhile back I heard a masculine exclaim, “I just need to figure out what the F it is!”

And I remembered days long, long ago when my hair was to my waist, all nice and perfectly straight. I used to comb the hair in front and wear glasses and pretend to be “Cousin Itt”.

Memories … manifested into the present.

Strange, strange world.

She Is Goddess

Published September 24, 2024 by tindertender

She is Maiden, Mother and Crone
In one…

You will recognize her because she
makes genuine eye contact with whomever she meets…
She is not afraid to be direct and honest about how she feels

She charts her own course
And is willing to meet whatever comes
Because she has faith in her journey
She’s aware of her own strength

She delights in enabling the wellbeing and the empowerment of others
But she refuses to subject herself to energy drainers…
She sees through bullshit instantly
She knows how to protect herself
She is obedient to her own inner knowing,
She is willing to break the rules made by others
in order to be authentic to herself

Her truth comes directly through her heart
She uses her mind as the servant to manifest it

She is inwardly and outwardly aware
She responds more than she reacts
She no longer waters illusory drama
She no longer feels the need to control what is

She is deeply connected to her creative source
She is her own work of art in progress
She can create beauty from whatever is in front of her

She is in tune with her intuition and instinctual body
She lives in the present
Because she is willing to relinquish the past
And allow the future the space it needs to unfold

She understands that life is an ever changing flow from one moment to the next…
She willingly goes with it.

She feels deeply connected to the earth and stays close to nature,
She recognizes that she is not separate from it…
Being connected to nature is essential for her health and wellbeing

She has simplified her life
Released the non-essentials so that she can be spacious and free

She values her aloneness,
She waters her soul with it
But she also
values quality time with like minded souls

She doesn’t need a man to complete her
Her relationships are on an equal basis of respect and sharing
Unbridled sensual pleasure…

She has no time for gossip
She’s invested in raising the sisterhood up rather than cutting it down

She celebrates the beauty and power in other women
She celebrates the beauty and power within herself

She is just as willing to receive as she is to give
She fills her own cup for herself and overflows it for others

She understands the futility of unsolicited advice
So she shares her wisdom through living it

She envisions the healing of the world
She offers her gifts as a contribution towards it

Love is her religion
Unity is her gospel
Laughter is her grace

She loves to play through her inner child
Sing and dance through her inner maiden
She nurtures her body mind and spirit daily through her inner mother

Others seek her for her wisdom
Are irresistibly drawn to her unpredictable mystery

They feel seen and accepted in her steady gaze…
Peaceful in her sacred space

They are shocked by her irreverent humor
But secretly inspired, uplifted,
Given permission to be themselves

She is Maiden, Mother and Crone
In one
She is Goddess

There’s Somebody Playing With You Right Now

Published September 20, 2024 by tindertender

You’re unbothered by it!

They don’t know what to do about it, ya’all.

No one got time for that!

“As soon as they thought their plan was going to work,
God created another plan for them.
If it’s a war they want,
It’s a war they’re gonna get.”

False Fantasy

Published September 20, 2024 by tindertender

I don’t believe others fantasies about my life.

I won’t involve myself in them.

Native Son

Published September 20, 2024 by tindertender

They’re getting close to their final strike, trying to be real quiet.

Spirit said, “It was all fun and games until they found the Protector.”

And he said, “Good mornin’ America! How are ya? Don’t you know me? I’m your Native Son.”

They won’t be sacrificing the sacrifice.

And if they do, all they’ll do, is open a big ol’ can of whoop ass.

And I believe they’ve already got their hands full.

Wish an Mn F-er Would

Spirit’s getting irritated … just DO it already antagonist!

The pipe to the poet:

I am a poet's pipe, His nurse, and: I put his Beast to sleep.

When his blinded chimeras
Come to collide with his forehead, I smoke...And he, in his ceiling, Can no longer see the spiders.

….I make him a sky, clouds, The sea, the desert, mirages;

- He lets his dead eye wander there...
And, when the cloud becomes heavy, He thinks he sees a known shadow,

- And I feel my pipe biting...

- Another whirlwind unties
His soul, his shackles, his life!

….And I feel myself fading.-he is sleeping-

-Sleep again: the Beast is calmed, Follow your dream to the end...

My Poor!.. the smoke is everything.

-If it is true that everything is smoke...

Find Your People

Published September 18, 2024 by tindertender

Your crowd can’t be found if you’re hiding.
If you’re afraid to express yourself authentically and transparently,
If you’re afraid to be vulnerable, rejected or ridiculed,
You’ll never find those who are in resonance with your Soul.
Your Tribe.
Chosen Family.
Making decisions based out of fear will cause failure in a person’s life.
The goal is to expand, to elevate,
Not shrink.

Intensity!

This woman’s stare has me playing on repeat!

Take that ‘tude with you everywhere, apply it to everything.

Endless Love

Published September 18, 2024 by tindertender

I woke this morning as I do, starting the day in ‘prayer”. I was recognizing the presence of our Divine Masculine, working so hard to clear tough issues now, acknowledging the great divide between them and the offenders wearing their bodies, speaking with their voices, doing so much harm.

As I finished up and started readying for the day, lyrics of a sweet song began to run through mind. Thank you Divine … thank you for the healing, the love and the gentle care. I am so grateful you exist!

Somewhere out there, someone loves me. My heart is warm and full.

Be certain you pay attention to the subtle gifts, family, these beautiful communications as they gently roll through mind.

I love you.
