Dissolving the idea that work, life, or who I am needs direction, drive, determination, pain or intense commitment. Simply moving along wherever the joy takes me. Knowing that is enough.
Joyously moving forward.

Natural Light
See the light…
Feel the light…
Be the light…
The natural, blissful, abundant, light that is YOU!
There is no need to do or be anything else.
Waves Come Crashing In
Sitting in stillness…waves come crashing in…loud, powerful, ferocious. Yet, in the stillness, I know only their beauty, their strength, and their humble gifts of positive change.
Where You Live
Nothing that enters from the outside can define a person. From within – from the space of the heart – comes the guidance and morality by which we live. Your heart is where you live.
Whatever Floats Your Boat
When you remove the pit in the center and scoop up the pulp on a chip, you are left with a perfect little craft in which to float through your day, cradled and nourished in your own shell.
Float, bob,and sail on…
Rainbows in the Sky
Just when you think you know what the sky holds and the clouds look like, you glance upwards and see a swirling prism glistening on the wide blue canvas above you. Then, you remember the magnificence, the bliss, the joy that are always there for you…if you just notice.
Got it?
If you think you have it, you probably don’t.
If you don’t think you’ve got it, you definitely do.
If you have it, don’t let it go.
Sparkle on…
Gnarled Bark
It’s the gnarled bark
the splintered edges
and the twisted growth
that craft the greatest character.
Blossom
Root down in humility.
Let love shower over you like a soft spring rain,
The warm rays of peace and ease fill you.
So full, whole and content
That love and joy have no option
But to penetrate existing boundaries,
Bursting, springing, popping out into the world.
Allow self love to bud and peace and joy blossom.
The Dance of “Me”
There is just one of me – one body, one mind, one world.
Yet, when I am in the left side of my mind, my world is lined up in neat little rows of describers and stories that define all of my experiences, forming memories of the past and predictions for the future, a space of story-telling, label-making, and structure.
In the right side of my mind, I am larger, brighter, made of colors, shapes, and lacking concrete boundaries. When I step to the right, I feel free and open, joyful and full of peace. My world is expansive, allowing, and in so many ways limitless. In the right side of my mind, I am present and full of wonder, curiosity, and enjoyment.
I move back and forth from side to side, creating the dance that is me…but I do think I would be better off if I took a step to the right more often.
