trying to breath through water

when i look too hard it goes away 
and when it all goes quiet i see they're right here 
i see that i am a little piece of a big big universe 
and that makes it right 
when it all goes quiet behind my eyes i see everything that made me 
flying around in invisible pieces
you've got to learn to take care of people smaller and sweeter than you are 
daddy said brave men don't run from their home 
the entire universe depends on everything fitting together just right 
and if you can fix the broken piece everything can go right back

better to burn out

new moon and new beginnings 
black box meditation 
passion as motivation

seeming not to have a care



it feels like winter , and that cold air induces a certain feeling in me
to the brain, i dislike cold, 
the low temperature hurts my skin, 
the coughing hurts my stomach, 
a trekk in the snow seems like a somewhat daunting journey, 
one that, taken during summer and spring, was just so free and light 
is now bundled , layered , heavy 
trudging where i once was traipsing 

but maybe all thats in the brain shall stay up there sometimes in japa silence 
and the heart shall hold a monarchy in the body 
this isn't a two party system all the time 

the heart remembers a feeling.... 
brings on the sound of wind gusts and creeking old window pains 
whistling sighs from shaky iron heaters and the nightly sound of snow trucks keeping roads clear
a craving for velvet and beaded lamps drenched in incense smoke flows through my core
looking out a window to snow covered street lamps 
toasty on the inside , deep feelings coming to the surface like a red rose in bloom
warm sanctuaries with rich colors and tapestries draped on the walls 
an energy that almost whispers all it's secrets right into your realm of knowledge 
hash to make you feel fine as wine

and by my side there you were
it's hard to tell if i miss you or that feeling

truth written all over it


chance and chance alone has a message for us. everything that occurs out of necessity, everything expected, repeated day in and day out, is mute.  only chance can speak to us.  we read it's message much as gypsies read the images made by coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup.

discovering you're back on earth


Dear Britt, it was so nice talking to you today.  sorry i had to get off the phone.  i was working in the church gift store and a customer came in.  Talk to Our Lady of Guadalupe, she has a lot of pull with Her Son.  Love You, Grandma

peace bay ▲†▲ om forest




I'm the mother of a green forest with a purple sky that hangs above. it's east of peace bay, right where the newly transformed butterfly's frolic among the pines.  I've witnessed the trees dress in christmas lights and dance when no ones watching..... the moon creates the rhythm that guides the mood of this ancient ceremony.  all i can do is sit in the mud like a stick, its the best spot because i can understand more from below.  down here i meet the 13 Original Clan mothers and thank them by offering prayers and sacred smoke for allowing me to use their land and foster the energies they create.  and i live on.

subconscious relations to perception are deeply woven in our mind 
i lost that . only to discover so much more
for a time i felt so familiar with the energy in every particle of existence
i saw a tree stump with ingrown rivets and felt i knew the history of rain marks on that large dense root
when i looked to the sky i could see the dimensions within the molecules between me and the stars.. above the stars , beyond the galaxy , i could see to the alternate universes
in that time everything makes sense.. in that time there is no way things could be vague because my eye sight is allowing the clairvoyance to be known 
everything around me seems to have a story to tell, everything in gaia is breathing and as alive as ever...... i understand the earth, i know its name
the saltwater runs right through skin and cleansed my soul

that time has passed and im left feeling nostalgic, caught in humanities trap of relative consciousness, knowing so much more exists but having a hard time seeing it...

watch the illusion with unbearable compassion


at times , you go outside and look at the blue sky, the sun beams landing on translucent flowers, 
see the beauty all around 
i walked today to take in the splendor of an afternoon that would never again return
 this time , i kept my eyes still and focused 
not budging to look around for the beauty 
rather, i let it all transcend my being

there is thunder in our hearts

there is bound to be someone driven mad by love 
who will give you the chance one of these days 
and when you do find one, observe with care, 
they almost always have crystals in their hearts
