This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Building Back Better
Published October 8, 2024 by tindertenderWhen they tried to destroy my mind, I decided to take control and be the destroyer.
Then I slowly began building back, better, and they didn’t know it because they believed it was they who thrust me into darkness, into chaos.
I suppose this is why they got confused.
Plus, being connected to Source, sharing the entire experience, this unconventional method of approaching mind rape, helped a lot.
I do hope there have been new discoveries made by this seemingly insane and perhaps psychotic approach to dealing with parasitic attachments.
It certainly felt to be at least a little reckless.
Sometimes change requires us to get a little crazy.
Love Will Keep Us Alive
Published September 30, 2024 by tindertenderI ranted a bit this morning for reasons I’d rather not say.
Then I remembered ceremony on Saturday, a Buffalo Ceremony, and the spiritual gifting of name for a 2 month old baby girl … Shining White Sun Woman.
The memory filled me with a gentleness, and gratitude for being able to serve her beautiful mother and her siblings water during the long ceremony.
Then the lyrics from song rolled thru mind … Love will keep us alive … and suddenly I’m not feeling alone.
And I remember … Friggen awesome baby!! An exclamation of success.
I am so grateful that the agitation in me this morning was countered and balanced by this sweet memory and thoughts of togetherness and love.
I hope you get to experience it family!

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.”

There’s Somebody Playing With You Right Now
Published September 20, 2024 by tindertenderYou’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.”

I won’t involve myself in them.
Wish an Mn F-er Would

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...
The yellow loves

Find Your People
Published September 18, 2024 by tindertenderYour 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.
Endless Love
Published September 18, 2024 by tindertenderI 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.
