Sometime I can become obsessed with a project…

Today when I mentioned this to my husband… I said something like … “I feel bad because I have become obsessed with this latest project” He in turn surprised me and replied. That my obsessions were some of my best attributes and sometimes the result of the obsessive work was some of my most brilliant creation.

I was surprised. I had always thought that those projects that could consume my entire energy were not my best moments… Sometimes I just have no clue of what those around me are truly thinking. I am glad my husband shared his experience. I am glad because I had a little insight into myself that I often do not see.

Journey Today – The Juicy Heart

The Journey

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Pretty much everything is not as it seems. There are always layers and layers under and over and in and out.

Today I will look through the reflection and see what is under the surface. Today I will look further inside and outside to see what is.

Perhaps it is nothing… – ♥ –

Perhaps it is everything… – ♥ –

Finding the Light – Juicy Heart

Today Finding the Light.

Yesterday was a revelation and an inspiration. I got to find a little light in what I do and offer in this world. Working with a client I was totally touched and my heart was opened when they said” This is like going on a journey with my brother, we are discovering and learning together.”

I got to look inside, see my light, see the place in me that holds my heart and know that my heart was being seen and experienced for what is was being offered as.

Pleasure, inclusion and the unity and balance of being together. Being part of the Tribe and being together on the journey was reassuring and balancing for me. This simple statement offered me inspiration. I got to see my inner light as I guided another to seeing their own.

Love and Peace

Excitement ♥ Juicy Heart

Excitement the totally JUICY state.

Cultivating and developing excitement and the glory of anticipation is a life long pursuit with me. I revel in the joy and pleasure of all that can be savoured in a prolonged period of excitement.

YES! This is all about SEX and YES this is all about living every day. I feel so much more, life force, juice and pleasure when I can be excited. Especially when my excitement is about what is happening, and what is going to happen and what has happened. I am in a state of JOY so much more often when I am excited and reveling in what is going to take place.

I can even feel this excitement about filling in a form and submitting documentation that needs to be painstakingly put together. I sometimes need to look at the far bigger picture to get the thrill in place.

Today I will feel all of the excitement about having a day. I will revel in the glory of what is. I will smile and enjoy every flash of pink and feel all the JUICE I have. This will be my challenge and my meditation for the day.

Imagination – Juicy Heart

Posted: December 14, 2011 in Art, Bliss

im·ag·i·na·tion

noun

1.

the faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses.
2.

the action or process of forming such images or concepts.
3.

the faculty of producing ideal creations consistent with reality, as in literature, as distinct from the power of creating illustrative or decorative imagery.
4.
the product of imagining; a conception or mental creation, often a baseless or fanciful one.
5.
ability to face and resolve difficulties; resourcefulness: a job that requires imagination.
 
Seems that at least a part of imagining is being able to bring whatever has come to mind, the imagined element, to the forefront of the senses.  I believe that simply living in imagination without any embodiment of the imagined would be too sterile and mind centered for me. I must allow my imagination to come to fruition and become reality. Not all of the time but at least some of the time.
 
I am glad that I am able allow my imagination to come to life.

mind·ful

adjective

attentive, aware, or careful (usually followed by of ): mindful of one’s responsibilities.

em·bod·y

verb (used with object), -bod·ied, -bod·y·ing.

1. to give a concrete form to; express, personify, or exemplify in concrete form: to embody an idea in an allegorical painting.

2. to provide with a body; incarnate; make corporeal: to embody a spirit.

Today is weaving both worlds. That of awareness and providing a body.  To weave this magic on more than one level. To be more able to weave this on physical, mental, emotional, heartful, erotic, intuitive and spiritual levels.

This is my goal, my dream, my desire. This is my willingness and action.

BE -♥- Juicy Heart

Today as I transition I will have lots of time to reflect with myself about what this pretty momentous weekend has delivered to me.

There are two elements floating in my being at this moment.

The first is if you want something there is no one more important in “getting” what you want that yourself. If I want something to change I will have to change to begin, inspire, create the change that I want…

The second is how shocked I was to see how difficult it was for me to feel and be a part of… I know that for those of you who know me this is pretty obvious; however, I was challenged to find my place in a group so diverse… at the same time I come out of this knowing that I will need to lead… So if I am a part of or not I know that there are several challenges ahead for ME to BE.

Love the universe at this moment and loving my place in it… So looking forward to what is unfolding for me and those I am near…

You must ask for what you really want... DON'T go back to sleep" Rumi

More as I journey home.
