Dwelling Mind

It is incredibly hard to lose someone you love, harder still to lose someone who loves you.

Some debts can only be paid back one penny at a time.

You are original, something that has never been. And you must continue to become something that has never been. It will come from within.

But sit with this idea for a moment to really see its awe. What is it to create something that has never been?

What may be more challenging than allowing yourself to be present is to allow the person beside you, whom with you have years of history, to also be present.

Worry less about what you will become, what you will be. Give that time to recognizing and acknowledging what you are right now.

As does the heart, all you need resides within you.

Maybe change is not elusive, it is just subtle. Allow space for subtlety.

Don’t let your sense of resilience to allow you to underestimate and diminish the toll of things.

The sand the paper
The reeds the brush
The wind the artist

It is easy to see all of the busyness our busy minds has created. May we one day see what our quiet minds create.

Your work is not work.

It is relatively easy to trust the 5 senses, but we are much more than these.

Importantly, the 6th sense - trust your intuition and instinct

Just. Be. You. It sounds so simple, but allow the process its necessary space and time. One day, you will be your true and free self.

Especially when it comes to self love, actions speak louder than words.

The inclination to assimilate is understandable, however misguided. While you are a drop of water in the oceans and also you are the ocean - you are intended to be as unique a snowflake.

Giving your attention to the natural beauty and wonder that surrounds us is a worthy and necessary endeavor.

It was not our child-like insecurities we were intended to bring with us into adulthood. It was our curiosity, imagination, creativity and playfulness..

Straddling can serve a purpose for a time. But, trust that you will be sure-footed when you take the step in the direction you know you are intended to go.

When pressure, outside of you and outside of your control, persists, release and ease must be sourced from within. Movement. Settle. Breath. Breath.

Breath.

Parsing out the self. What masks am I wearing or what masks am I thinking about putting on? What of me is my veritable self?

When you experience unease, go toward it, be in it and with it, acknowledge it. Then intend it to begin to flow. Energy must flow. Sometimes it will happen naturally, sometimes you must engage in the process.

Often, the first step of the creative process is to create more space for that process to flow.

This is creation. I cannot say that it is THE reason we are here, but it is assuredly A reason we are here.

An unexpectedly hard question to answer may be ‘what is the best possible outcome?’ Maybe it cannot be answered, but only realized.

We are gifted with the ability to imagine and it can be intended to guide us toward a better future. Put your attention there. Use your imagination to create.

Progress can move at an imperceivable pace, especially when you are moving toward what does not exist, what has never existed, what can only be imagined.
