I hold my face in my two hands.
No. I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands
to keep my loneliness warm ~
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Be Free Where You Are
“When someone predicts what the future will be and you give your attention to that, you are lending your creative power to that outcome. The future is not set in stone. We are creating it right now. Especially ignore those who speak vile words of brokenness or unworthiness or weakness over your life.”
It annoys me to no end how masculines unseen, AND their feminine co-conspirators, demand that someone is no one unless their life matches some weird prophecy some random dude dreamt of in history long ago. My life is not a script. My life does not require their approval in order to BE. My life does not need to conform to their script or ideology. It seems to me they do not worship, and are not a part of, the same Living System the Mother Father Divine Most High have gifted the living, here. No. I will not shift my existence so you can “tolerate” it, actor, actress, script writers. You do not get to write my next “lifetime story” !!!!! In fact, I believe it is the Highest here now. Rewriting yours. It’s the end of your relationship with batteries. It’s the end of you trapping, and feeding upon, Gods family.
With each year I become more grounded,
As my soul becomes more free,
I’ve grown roots that keep me stable,
I’m finally enjoying being me.
Life is now rich with simplicity,
I avoid the drama that some may bring,
I’m happy in my own company,
My heart has learned how to sing.
In each new silver hair I rejoice,
Aging is a blessing, some never know,
My journey has brought me so far,
And hopefully, still, some way to go.
I cherish each precious moment,
The laughter shared, the silent peace,
In every chapter, I now stand stoic,
With wisdom my worries cease.
So here’s to the years that shape and mold,
With knowledge gained and stories to tell,
I embrace the path that I have walked,
In this seasoned body, I’m happy to dwell ..

What people don’t realize is that some people are single in this generation because they are healed, which makes them incompatible with trauma bonds.
Unfortunately, trauma bonds are the template of our culture at this time.
Those who choose peace over trauma will have difficulty in relationships because most people that we meet are emotionally damaged in some way.
Healed people seek healthy bonds. These bonds hold space for authenticity and correction. It’s kind of like an oxymoron.
About 90% of the relationships/marriages that we see are actually trauma bonds. Those involved “need” the other person to make them feel whole because they’re both broken mentally, emotionally and/or spiritually.
Let that sink in for a moment…
With so much love,

“To love is to give the light from your own soul. Love is an inward beauty which flows from the heart. Let love rule your heart and life.”
“Ministers of God are by your side, no single detail, not a thought or an action, escapes them. But they judge not; they only love, with deep compassion and wide understanding. Remember, so that you look upon all people with the same gentle loving kindness.”
“Every soul has to withstand great pressure and be well tested. Suppose you are called to an important piece of work which is going to involve many souls; and suppose you had not been tested and proved? It is possible that you would break down under the stress of the work. Follow the path of light with all its testings and disappointments.”
~ White Eagle
There is a very important reason you don’t replace an accomplished person with an untested one. The untested won’t be able to bear the weight of responsibility, however, they have drivers (also unqualified, or they would already be in position) who will assist them in fouling up every sacred thing, while pretending to be accomplished.
They took offense
To the symbols my spirit
impressed upon itself
During its battle.
They didn’t feel
Our journey worthy.
The Most High
Corrected them.
The journey
Requires no defense
No explanation
It is personal
This walk with God
Others may scoff
Ridicule
Deny the right of
But did they pray
Before they condemned?
Were they of Unity Consciousness
Or were they laying out rules
Deeming another insufficient
Or faulty, or unworthy of?
What are you supporting
With your vital force?
What are you earning
Taking
Interrupting?
————————————-
I am almost home now,
And you, you are always waiting
beyond that horizon
I must make for myself
again and again.
My old body and my young
body, in one body,
greeting and meeting, half aware
and half unaware
of going or returning.
The door opening to a new light,
an astonishment of welcomes,
a surprise party.
The true dream beneath
the first dream.
~~From the book “Everything is Waiting for You, by David Whyte
————————————-
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid, more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as a seed
goes to the next as a blossom
and that which came to me as a blossom,
goes on as fruit.
~ Dawna Markova

All limitless beings, without exception. Human life is like a stream swiftly flowing down a steep mountain. This body is subject to destruction. You will attain bountiful happiness. There is no permanent circumstance. We fear not, but remain undaunted. Bless us that we may be mindful of impermanence.
~~Natural Liberation, Translated by Alan Wallace

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wildflower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

The further you enter into truth, the deeper it is.
The way up and the way down are one and the same.

Pride – “My Name is Pride” poem by Beth Moore
My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
I cheat you of your God-given destiny…
because you demand your own way.
I cheat you of contentment…
because you “deserve better than this.”
I cheat you of knowledge…
because you already know it all.
I cheat you of healing…
because you are too full of you to forgive.
I cheat you of holiness…
because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.
I cheat you of vision…
because you’d rather look in the mirror than out a window.
I cheat you of genuine friendship…
because nobody’s going to know the real you.
I cheat you of love…
because real romance demands sacrifice.
I cheat you of greatness in heaven…
because you refuse to wash another’s feet on earth.
I cheat you of God’s glory…
because I convinced you to seek your own.
My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
You like me because you think I’m always looking out for you.
Untrue.
I’m looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but don’t worry…
If you stick with me you’ll never know.
