how to wash worrys away
Friday, May 28th, 2010slowing into silence
Monday, January 18th, 2010A walk in solitude along an abandoned beach on this rainy day, delicate pinpricks of moisture gently pelting my face, refreshing me, reminding me that I am awake and alive. I breathe into gratitude as I look at the world through artist’s eyes.
Shifts and changes have been happening as I nurture conscious connection with the natural world around me. Amazing transformation happens when I slow down long enough to be present in the moment.
I walk in reverent silence, deeply thankful for my surroundings – for the connection with earth, ocean and sky. Heart-smiles as I glance up into the shimmering magic of a brilliant rainbow appearing against a background of dark grey clouds overhead.
I reflect on my journey from the long road into the depths of sadness and destruction to a life of gentle acceptance. It has been a hell of a climb, but exercise (even the torturous, monumentally challenging kind) builds muscle, and this path has brought a great depth of emotional, mental and spiritual fitness.
Finally the relief of leaving behind the need to act the part of the Energizer bunny – keeping myself going regardless. Embracing the shift into once again gently honoring my own inner rhythms, allowing the natural flow of spirit within me, through me, and outward into the world.
Peace.

Thursday, December 25th, 2008Finally, the movement from something that was broken and not working to a new blog with fresh, clear energy. Leaving behind the old, and shifting into a better way of BE-ing.
All is well.
tears
Sunday, November 11th, 2007There are tears of release. There are tears of self-pity.
Or maybe there are just tears.
Today I cry, and my mind judges me for the tears. Why? What does it matter why I cry today? I feel I need to, so I do. Release = Real Ease. There is no need for judgement. Just to honor that which I have learned so well:
“The body weeps the tears the eyes do not shed.”
The tears are a gift, an opportunity to rise above the judgement and just allow things to flow as they should. Whatever is welling in these eyes of mine, may it continue to flow and transform into whatever it needs to be for the good of All.
mourning
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007The sudden passing of someone whom I loved very deeply and intimately. I travel to the place of his memorial to share with others his life and the graces he’s given each of us in this lifetime.
Most of his life he struggled – the intense inner struggle of finding himself. Finally the last two years brought relief. He stopped searching and embraced the journey. For the first time ever, he discovered his true meaning of peace.
And then, suddenly, he left his body just a few short days ago.
We mourn for ourselves. When the grieving passes, all that is left is the Love.
Je t’aime, Raymond.
