it’s a beautiful day…

big sky...big life...

the waiting of winter, of soul’s light…captured in this luminous poem…

Eye Mask…

In this dark I rest,

unready for the light which dawns

day after day,

eager to be shared.

Black silk, shelter me.

I need

more of the night before I open

eyes & heart

to illumination. I must still

grow in the dark like a root

not ready, not ready at all.

Denise Levertov

it’s a haunting day…..ethereal & moving…

…’soul making’ wrote philosopher Jean Houston, ‘is not necessarily a happy thing. Crucial parts of it are not. We need to hold onto the celebration of becoming, to the bliss that wells up from the deeper places we’re tapping…I stared into the night, my heart pounding…..Sue Monk Kidd

don’t forget…it’s a beautiful day… 

what is hidden behind the moon?

roar of silence...

If we had a keen vision & feeling of all ordinary life, it would be like hearing the grass grow & the squirrel’s heartbeat & we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence…..George Eliot

Making wishes to the night sky….upon a star…..something magical in that silence of a wish…inspires an opening….no goal setting……no implementation….no roadblocks..

a  place of ease…a natural resting place…

It is the other side of silence…..playful…..deeper than mystery….

Somehow….the most beautiful place we go when in silence….wishing & waiting….. becomes not about the outcome anymore…

It’s the stillness, the intention coming from wonderment…

Receiving… 

Maybe this sweet spot is grace…this silence its own reward…the stars & moon a place to rest your heart…

‘A mystical experience is a sense of your not being what you thought you were, an experience of your heart’s or mind’s true nature. It is a startingly clear & moving feeling.’…Mark Epstein

Clear….like the night sky…..like the space behind the moon…
