Unique

Sometimes contraction is my karma- being a Fire sign, and very expansive.... it takes discipline for me to find a computer and sit down to write my thoughts of gratitude. Lately they have been created in the form of scraps of receipt paper, or in the backs of notebooks. Life these days has been beautiful, challenging, and unique.

Each day is a gift. I see the possibility for so much. I also see the illusion of this world. Engrossment, desires, fleeting moments, stimulus response. I am teaching myself to always look for the permanence in experience... and to create with conscious thought. I am responsible.... this life is for me to live, to lead, to create.

I am grateful for so much, but for simplicity's sake.....

• new experiences every day
• learning to change with choice.... when I see something out of alignment, it evolves
• aligning with connectedness....
• taking claim for influence
• releasing fleeting desires more and more
• seeking permanence
• Light.... the Light in other's eyes, the Light of the Sun, the Light of the Universal Heart
• sharing Love with others.... in new forms, changing forms, expanding forms
• Seeing a connected web of experience....

• web of women in my life.... embracing the wombanly wisdom

• Derrick. such a beautiful mirror.

• You, starshine, you.

Realization

Everything has been shifted into a new paradigm of perspective. I have moved to another level of awareness. I AM spiritually high, in Love, in Light, in Truth, in eternal gratitude for the experience of Life. I've taken a new approach lately of really taking time to appreciate the physical experience. Here we all are, together, vibrating around on this planet of mama earth. It is time to give up our distractions, our limitations, our excuses. It is time to connect heart with the mind. It it time to resonate with our true nature, which is connectedness and Love. Can you dig it? :)
