With wild thunderstorms that dance through the universe With dreams of merriment amidst ancestors of old With mischievous spirits that frolic through the ethers With bouquets of flowers that whisper sweet nothings into my heart And with human beings who never stop believing in the eternal power that kindness can wield.

When will it End?
Listen to the embers burning Of ancient cries amidst war The desolation and emptiness that only darkness can bring. You search for souls as your narrative Weaves its way among ruins and bodies Whose story becomes imprinted in your own And within generations not even birthed yet. You and I were once torn by gunfire […]
We crave tenderness in a world that stopped
breathing long ago. A fragmented humanity, weary from suffering and wandering listlessly in the darkness. Your heart still lives my friend. It yearns for sunshine, the incandescent light of grace whose melody will breathe life back into it.
The little boy looked bemused and raised his head towards the heavens.
“God, why do I need to understand my own darkness?” “Because you asked me to show you your light.” “But then why do I have to experience such struggle?” “Because you asked me to bless you with miracles my child.” The little boy was getting frustrated with God. “Can’t I just experience love without the […]
My work with clients this week focused much around the topic of feeling safe. Almost everyone felt the emotional boundary systems that have been in place for a while are once again crumbing within and around them. One of my clients said he knew he couldn’t rush through the process or find a quick fix, yet the feeling of dread around worldly events leaves him suffocating. The boundaries he had relationships with no longer support him in the same way, nor do those thoughts he created around them. We worked on creating new definitions of feeling safe, both within the world and within himself, including those relationships in his life. We spoke about finding new interests, organizing new thoughts in the ways in which he saw the world. Little things like volunteering, supporting a cause close to your heart can all contribute to feeling safe in this world. The more you hold onto the old boundary systems especially in relationships the more constricted you will feel in your life and in connection with those around you. A new boundary system and new definition of safety takes time to unfold and integrate. Changes in your external world are happening fast. Don’t expect those changes in your internal world to manifest at the same pace. Be patient and gentle with yourself.
I ran as fast as I could away from the abyss until the unknown reached for my hand and held it tightly.
Restless and shaking in its grasp, my voice trembled as I screamed, “What do you want from me? Let me go! Let me go!” No answer from the void. I writhed and squirmed trying to pull myself away but its tendrils had me bound to uncertainty, fear and doubt. My cries went unheard by the […]
Many of my sessions this week thus far have been focused on relationships.
It’s hard in a partnership to not want to analyze or judge the other person’s experiences, thoughts, emotions or intentions. It’s hard to identify your own inner process when we are too busy interfering in theirs. I’ve seen this happen far too often. A partner on a spiritual path or some kind of conscious inner […]
In Greek mythology a psychopomp is a supernatural creature or spirit whose purpose is to guide a soul who has just died to the afterlife. We die many times in one lifetime, aspects of ego and will, body and mind, ancient ancestors communing at the threshold of our passage so that they too, can evolve as sentient beings. We embody a myriad of lineages in our flesh and bones, not just the lineages inherent in our soul’s trajectory, but lineages across parallel realities that seek to serve a higher purpose. There is a sense of surrealism with each death, an altering of reality as we embrace a new one, an altering of a lineage as the sacred womb rises to give birth, life, healing and safe passage to those parts of us which need to die, which need to merge with a laden earth encumbered by human disconnect. Or perhaps those parts of us which need to ascend with the angels, a death absorbing grace as the Divine intended to the fullest experience a soul can have.
There is a descent into the underworld where we embrace flesh and bone as much as we do spirit. A descent into darkness where we fall upon our knees and give thanks to the landscape that nourishes our understanding of good and evil. How fortunate we are to listen to the wilderness that runs through […]
She frolicked through solitude
The wind in her long brown hair Her heart beating against the unknown Listening to the silence So sacred That one could hear the whispers of angels In realms above. Her womb pulsed to every story in creation. Slowly, she became the silence itself As all her fears dissolved into a grace So peaceful She […]
This is everyone’s battle.
Powerlessness rising with each flame. A scorched earth crying for anything holy to comfort its tears Trembling lungs gasping for air In a sea of purgatory and smoke A fire with no boundaries As it contemplates its existence A fury that recreates itself Until the unknown Has nowhere to turn. The sounds of chaos like […]
