Walking the Landscape of the Soul......

Walking the Landscape of the Soul.

Twists and Turns
I may never know
the twists and turns
you have taken
on your path

I may never know
the dark nights
of your soul
or the irritants
that sourced your pearls
I may never know
the turmoil
you have endured
or the bliss
you have embraced
to become who you are
but I do know
these unknown parts of you
twisted and turned
in the great wheel of life
allowed you to lead me now
to the gates of the garden

for through you
I have learned
to embrace the turmoil
to endure even the bliss
of my life
as I work the irritants
into pearls of my own
And you may never know
the gratitude I feel
for the gifts you have given
because it cannot be conveyed
in a hug
or contained
in a "thank You"
but it will go with me
on all the twists and turns
of my own path
and it will grow with me
through all the years to come
in the garden
of my becoming
-Nick Leforce

 

Of The Heart.....

So as I was saying I am finally healed from my broken shoulder journey and just in the nick of time I might add. Several months ago I signed up for an e-course with a really awesome young lady and soul sister, Galia Alena who is offering this course. 

This is a mixed media workshop, making a special book to gift, a love letter from the heart and soul and will touch on many different techniques.

It is also going to be a treasured keepsake with lots of writing prompts, poetry, and lots and lots of ideas about what to include.

So I have gotten lots of items collected and I'm ready to get started. Bet you can't guess what I'll be doing this weekend? Ok I'd digressing here, if you are a creative soul and this looks like something you'd be interested in check it out. I've not taken very many e-courses but this is one of the most thorough, informative classes I've ever taken. 

Keep checking back to see how this progresses as I'll be sharing here.

Have a great weekend. 

I'm back.....

Well I'm back, sorry I didn't get this all started back in Jan. but right after I started this I fell and broke my right shoulder, but it is finally healed enough to get down to it and be a bit more creative and in a space that is not filled to overflowing with pain. 
I'm not sure where I'll end up with this but I do know I'll be posting poems that are meaningful to me as well as pictures of what is going on in my creative world and of course what is going on in my inner space. 
Thanks for stopping by and please visit again real soon.

How this blog came to be.....

I was visiting Amanda today over at kind over matter and ran across something so deeply beautiful that I knew it was my time. My time to open my cracked shell wide open and become who I am. Jo Ann Rothman over at The Receiving Project ask some very raw questions and it felt like she was speaking straight into my spirit. I hope that Jo Ann does not mind that I share this with you all. I ask you to look deep inside your inner self and answer all of her questions.

The Deepest Knowing of You

I want to know you. Peer into the levels of your soul. See between the yes and no... between the stories your mind tells and into the truth of your expression. I want to know the reason of your incarnation. The purpose of your pleasure... where it leads and winds back upon itself as it seeks out the treasure. I want to know who you are. Not who you think you are. Or who you feel you should be. I desire to know the essence that permeates each cell and radiates out into this very universe.

Can you tell me? Can you show me? Can you whisper into my ear, telling me what you are willing to do to make this life yours... so that it can reflect the wisdom that you hold uniquely. Are you willing to stand in the fire of your own yearning, letting the world burn away until purity and spirit is all that is left... which is all it ever was to begin with? I want to know your desires. The ones that ache and twist, ready to break free and create themselves for your delight. From here, I can begin to walk the path of breadcrumbs to your being. 

Will you be daring enough to drop the story of what happened when? Are you willing to remember who are you when you forget that you don't know? Forget that your humanity is not a mountain of chaos that needs to be climbed in order to reach the heights of your divinity? You are not better or worse for your pain. You are only more your Self if you allow life to crack open the shell of make-believe so that the truth of you can flow unobstructed. 

Who you are lies beyond the realm of word and thoughts. It is in the way you dance with your calling as you move through your domain. It is how you shine your loving with the exhale. Honor yourself in the inhale. Acknowledge all that is in the precious moment of stillness. This is what I choose to connect with. More and more in myself. More and more in you. I dare you. I dare myself... to leave behind the falsities of separation. For in the reflection of you is me and in me, you. Each stretch into ourselves is the revelation of who we are. Which I, for one, want to know. 

This is where I decided to start this blog,,,,,In here I am going to do my best to answer these questions as raw and open as I can. I want you to know me!

If this inspires you please go HERE to read more from Jo Ann Rothman. I would like to thank her from my deepest self for poising these question us all but mostly to me.
