Dreaming of what my life was meant to be
I found a Songbird in a tree
Singing the sweetest melody
It became a part of me
Now singing, it opens up a daily flow
Filled with the places I can go
All the things I’ve yet to see
In perfect possibility
Others warn me I may dream my life away
But all I want to do is sing all day
Oh Songbird,
Lets spread these joyous wings and fly
To all the others wondering why they live at all
I hear their call
Oh my Heart

Something wonderful peculating in my heart. A feeling of many things coming together revealing profound sensations in me. A feeling of wanting to sing to the whole world. Let's see where it takes my life. I'll not be on Flickr much these next few weeks as my Mum is visiting me to spend some much deserved girl time together. Let's all soar through previous heights unknown in 2012!!!

Tonight a storm brews restless
It makes me feel uptight
I try to sing a peaceful song
But I just can’t seem to get it right
Oh let this darkness be removed
And cast into the sea
Of myself I do nothing
So I call the Warrior in me
Too many times I try it alone
And fall down deep in despair
And yet I know in each moment
You are always there
You lead me everywhere

Tonight I ask for a new song
From that kingdom deep within
I ask in that Holy Name
Creator of Everything
You lift this heart to sing
And then the darkness is removed
And cast into the sea
Of myself I do nothing
You are the Music in me

Years ago, when my Lover left this world, this song came out of my desire to win the war with grief and know that I would feel happy again in my life. Lately I’ve picked up the guitar and started singing this one again and discovered how much my understanding of my relationship with the Universe has shifted. By meditating on the Four Proclamations , by continuously seeking new ways to express daily discoveries of unity and by playing with music and digital art, the sweetest revelations come one by one. This joy spills over into my day-to-day life and continues to lead me onward in such profound ways.

Baby Kora’s smile is a testimony
Of the mountains her parents moved
By never giving up on their quest to find her
To answer the ache that called her arrival
Into Being
Now all three celebrate awake in that dream
A symbol of unconditional love
Reminding us all to aim for the stars...
May love grow a garden in your heart
That it may surround you from the inside out
May your desires reveal themselves one by one
As they dance into your daily existence
May you find and keep balance in Faith
Never stop believing in the impossible dream
The one that aches to be born through you
The one that seems the hardest to believe in
The one that makes every defeat a victory
The one that promises to be your greatest teacher

Happy Holidays and all the best for 2012.

This little angel friend came into the world a few weeks after my dad left this world. Her coming was a long labor of love and faith which her parents courageously upheld. In every way she is a manifestation of the desire of all their hearts combined. She remains a symbol for me to keep listening to my heart and trust that everything is as is should be. Love to you all here on Flickr. You make my world a happier place. May you smile and feel all the love in and around you which sings of your freedom and your absolute joy!!!!

*PS. This little "sweety" and her parents are good friends of mine.

As a child, you appear to me in the form of a woman
When I am a woman, you appear to me in the form of a child
The ache for a bridge between our worlds persists
Out of this urge a movement begins
The world of the woman slowly unveils
The universe of the child reveals itself
In perfect synchronicity
In perfect harmony
In perfect feeling
Sound
Light
For the glory of creation itself
The woman and the child begin to understand
You contain both
The ache disappears
The story continues
The Artist now projects
The form of a lucid and purposeful woman
Poised and expectant with the radiant heart of a child

Sometimes we have to grow up very fast into adulthood and then one day integrate the child left behind because this seems essential to the fulfillment of a whole life. After experiencing some intense dreams of different aspects of my past, I surrender to these revelations knowing there are no accidents and to accept these as reminders of my unity with everything. Explored through meditation and art, the lessons continue. Always the gratitude for the Inner Artist arises.

Dark and emptied and deathlike
Full of fear and shadows
I went to the Sun King for help
He was too bright for me to look at
His radiance shone upon my iniquity
So in my shadow fright I stuttered a plea
That I might be soaked in everlasting Light
His laughter made me tremble
Echoing around the Universe
His sound almost shattered me
Finally he leaned my way
He explained that even he is a shadow
Though a very bright one
We play at being kings and children of kings
That we may lose and find ourselves in variations
That we may detach and witness every story
In every lump of coal a diamond waits
In every dark and spinning moon such radiance
In every black and brooding hour a promise lingers
This Light is ever with us
Regardless if we feel it or not
So now I can proclaim that I AM a child of the Sun
and shadows are not real

*Sometimes after long periods of silence and brooding, a new light shines. A new understanding emerges. We cannot explain it but it is there. After such excruciating heaviness and self-judgement ,we realize the inevitability of this change. Again and again, the letting go to this process reveals the mystery and the sublime joy of life. The brooding moon is overwhelmed with light again. The sun finds its joy in this. Both are subject to a greater love.
