misty dawn
her soft edges
smooth the edges of doubt
restore Truth again
and the flame in my heart

the air is a cold knife against my skin
i breathe
and my soul sings
so alive
the tea
the toast
the honey
i have at this moment
and your words
are fire
all that matters

In Istanbul now it is colder than I am used to. Many things are different than in Asia, and some trigger memories of other European cities, other times. Here I love walking through the streets, fresh pomegranate juice, lentil soup, trying a hookah, the warmth of people I encounter and even the cold air.
Being here is both a time of opening to new challenges and remembering parts of myself that have been forgotten.

Friday will be Spring Equinox when life balances for a moment, holding us gently so that we can embrace the potential for a new cycle of being. Right now, these days before Spring dawns, is a precious time to open to everything that has been perhaps calling for your attention. It is time to face challenges, fears, regrets. It is a time to take responsibility for clearing everything that holds you captive. It is a time to surrender to who you are, to the calls of your heart, preparing for a new cycle, a new spring.

There are a million suns in your eyes
Share them
Your heart can hold enough light for everyone you see
Let it
Drop your fears
Cast away your defenses
That are your addictions
That are everything that takes you from this moment
This exquisite breath
This intoxicating pulsing
The beautiful being you are
Dissolve in your love
This is eternity

The only certainty is that we are made of love, and by allowing this to gently release our fears, doubts and limiting habits we return continually to harmony, eternal light. Love is carried on every breath you take.

January 8th, 2009
You are a perfect crystal, a perfect heartbeat, a perfect song, a perfect melody. Together we are the most beautiful symphony. When each one of us lets go, simply lets go, relaxes, releases, we are restored to perfection. You are already everything you have dreamt of being.

Doubt and fear create vibrations that lead you away from the path of your heart. When more and more of us sing our song, are true to ourselves, forgive and allow ourselves to Be, we are like perfect crystals. Through resonance each one of us can help others to be the perfect crystal they were born to be. This is creation. No good or bad, no dark or light. No duality. It is a subtle dance, a balancing act. We cannot be male or female, ruler and ruled, mind and heart. We must be both. And just as we cannot be divided, so all of creation cannot be divided. This is Earth, this is Gaia.

It is time to unite, to heal, to care for Earth that for so long humanity has been supported by. It is time to be her ourselves. To nurture and care for ourselves and for each other. When we know who we are, when we take the time to know who others are, we discover truly that only love is real and we step forever from the bonds of suffering.

It is a time of increasing change. I race to prepare for my departure in a few days for a year of travel and I am experiencing often now that what I hold in my thoughts as the way something is, is quickly revealed to be otherwise. This is the energy of right now. Everything is transforming, as we ourselves are. This is an incredible time where we can let go of many things we have been holding on to that no longer serve us.

We are vibrating energy that moves. The more we allow ourselves to feel and to breathe, the more quickly we align with the natural flow of creation. Feelings are not to be feared. Often we hold them in because we fear being hurt. The truth is that when you allow yourself to cry, to express the energy that needs to move, the more easily you regain your balance, the more quickly you return to the essence of creation that is love, and an infinite network of support.

For every transformation to occur energy must be moved. Now is the time to allow yourself to let go of your fears, your limiting beliefs, now is the time to surrender to the energy of creation that is flowing, that is life, that is love.

Breathe, sigh, breathe, sigh, breathe, sigh. Come home.

our dreams are precious. they are beams of light that guide our souls through the tangle of our conditioned fears that hold us captive.

our dreams are gifts from our soul; the glimpse they offer of the deepest yearnings of our heart give us that push we sometimes need to keep going, to never give up, to reach for the stars.

our dreams help us to remember why we are here - to play in the dance of life, where the challenge is to never forget that we are already home, that we are all we ever wish we could be, that we are eternal, that we are love itself.
