“You must ask for what you really want…”
 
Life is amazing when you begin to ask. Life begins to happen. That life is happening brings trust that we will be heard. Being heard means asking for more. Asking for more brings abundance. Abundance builds and grows in other areas and soon we can have a life that is full of what we have been asking for.
 
Don’t go back to sleep…

Thanks to Harry Faddis for the art and to Rumi for the poem and to all of the seekers who have carried this image with them, that I might have the honour to share.

Today is a day of Generating new elements of my life…

This came across LOUD and CLEAR this morning! Thanks to FR for posting and thanks to the author and creator.

This is your LIFE. Do what you love and do it often.

“If you don’t like something, CHANGE it. If you don’t like you job, QUIT. If you don’t have enough time, STOP watching TV.

“If you are looking for the LOVE of your life, STOP. They will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you LOVE.

“STOP over analyzing, LIFE IS SIMPLE. All emotions are beautiful when you EAT, appreciate every last BITE.

Open your MIND, ARMS and HEART to new things and people. We are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see, what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them.

TRAVEL often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, SEIZE them.

LIFE is about the people we meet, and the things we create with them so GO OUT and START CREATING.

LIFE IS SHORT. Live your dream and WEAR your PASSION.”

There is a sweet and delicious curiousity that is present today.

The weekend is fast approaching. Another Body Electric workshop and there will be men from far and near. I am always curious about who will show up. This curiousity builds in me and augments and amplifies my energy. There is a sweetness that has developed over the years as I have held the space for men to come together and explore on levels that are often taboo and or held so closely as to be inscrutable. My curiousity expands and grows over the weekend as these taboo subjects of sex and sexuality are opened up. My curiousity expands and grows over the weekend as that which is inscrutable becomes clear and manifests some new meaning.

Today I will be infused with curiousity and the sweet pleasure of preparing the nest.

Emerging from the test on Friday. Today is Monday and I feel like I just woke up after a long sleep. All went well. I am curious to see where this flows to next.

My heart is open and clear. My heart leaps with JOY!

In Blackwater Woods

by Mary Oliver
 
Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders

of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is

nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned

in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side

is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good” ~ Dr. Seuss

Today is all about doing, preparing, planning and letting go. Doing some of the things, taking care of some of the stuff that I have little practice with. By all of this I mean that today I must enlist help. I must ask those around me to help me. Some of this asking is simply for a thought, with some a big deed.  Asking has always been a challenge for me.

Today I will trust and ask. I will seek the help that I need to move ahead. I will take care of myself and in this self-care take care of the world and the loved ones around me.  ❤

Today is about HOPE

My Heart feels better with HOPE. My mind feels better as well and my psyche follows.

Weaving the Fabric of Life.

Today as I stretch and get ready for the day I see, feel and experience the depth and strength of the interconnections of life.

A wonderful letter from a man now living in China, a wonderful response to my website from a man in Manitoba, the ebb and flow of clients, the surety of friends, the depth and strength of my husband. All of these interpersonal elements and more unspoken threads weave together around me and form the fabric of my life.

 The fabric warms and shields and soothes me. The fabric is a brilliant colour and has a stimulating pattern, the fabric awakens me. The fabric is resilient and has untested strength, the fabric shields me.

Today I will fall into the depth of safety that the fabric of my life has brought to me. I will cherish the fabric and adore each individual thread. I will savour each fibre that reinforces each thread.

The fabric of life... ❤

Pleasure again…

This morning up early with the wind and rain and rustling leaves. I, stealthily moved into the kitchen and made cheesy scones. The pleasure of rubbing butter into flour and grating cheese over dough. The pleasure of watching through the oven door as the scones rise and change colour, the cheese melting in. The pleasure as they are ready and moved onto a plate, they look and smell so yummy. The pleasure of melting jam and butter into the hot flakey surface. The pleasure of my mouth as the tastes move through me. The pleasure of nourishing desire.

YUM!

Warm and Yummy ❤

Pleasure has been in the forefront for the past few days.

My great pleasure has actually been the meditative art of pressing Saris. Having cleaned these beautiful cloths that had adorned my body, they needed to be pressed. Doing this seeming chore was actually a meditative and delightful pursuit. Pressing the yards and yards of fabric woven, embroidered, painted and decorated allowed me to delve into an area where I had slowed down and there was little intrusion into my mind or other levels of my body.  Having brought my mind to rest, allowed for me to feel the pleasure that was there under the jumble of thoughts.

Pressing the Saris was a beautiful experience.

Today I will be in the simple beauty of restful pleasure.

Beauty Bestowed...
