  • Cry Your Tears
    The other day, I had to remind myself that I love emotion. “The highs and the lows,” I cried. The highs and lows.. I love to feel. The awareness of the experience itself strengthens my ability to control my emotions.
    I enjoyed a long cry complete with shaking, sweat, and guttural contractions. This time, I was able to think clearly and allow myself to ride the wave.
    I am an expressive woman, but I tend to suppress my hurt so as not to sink into depression and be able to feel joys again. I’m always singing or writing about my happinesses and love interests. It flows through me. That is my wind.
    When it comes to feelings of rejection, unworthiness, ugliness, loneliness, lovelessness and the like, I quickly dismiss them. They feel awful. But, they’re still there, aren’t they?...lingering in my subconscious.
    Have you ever had days when you are sad for no reason? There it manifests. It grows and becomes an entity that haunts you—passing quickly because you have forgotten its origin. It has become a spirit of your sorrows, and it resurfaces as a reminder that you need to process these emotions.
    Cry your tears, I implore you. Go to your safe place in solitude when you are ready and think about whatever has triggered your pain. Energy will build up in your mind and body until it spills from your eyes.
    If you are like me, sing or yell, move, channel your energy. It is like a thunderous roar at the climax and then suddenly you stop. Your calm returns to you and an immediate “lifting” of your spirit occurs. A lot of energy has released. Take time to rest and reflect. Spend extra time pampering yourself as you recover. Why? Because you love you, and this is where you should be.

  • That Which I Favored

    It took both experiences of cruelty and kindness for me to be able to discover and distinguish the  two. That which I favored I labeled as good.

  • Dream in Color

    All too often, troubles and doubts tempt us to give up on our dreams and let them fade away.
    We see in color for a reason. Life is supposed to be a dynamic, wonderful experience, but there are those who deprive so many of it.
    I once said that the worst thing that could ever happen to me would be when I stopped dreaming—when the light behind my eyes goes out.
    You see, I need the light to perceive color in my waking moments, but in the beautiful darkness—in my dreams—all I need is will.
    We are electric. A perpetual fire—a light—burns within us that is able to bring to life the make-believe.
    Love. Pleasure. Creation. Connection. This is the nature of the physical.
    If life is but a dream, let us make it full of color, together.

  • I Don't Feel Real

    I have dreams where I'm in the middle of a lifetime--my age and other similarities--then I wake up back in this one..

    I don't feel real today.

    I feel like I'm supposed to be far away..

  • I'm Sorry to Hear That

    "You shouldn't show me your lips," he said. "It's hard for me to hear anything else. I'm just looking at the beautiful lips." To that, I replied, "I'm sorry to hear that.."

  • The Colors of My Heart

    What a cool way to see myself
    As a work of art
    And one could say that I am beautiful..
    And I do say that what you see are the colors of my heart
    In hopes to make your life more colorful..
    I love you

  • Embrace Your Shadow

    “...Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...”
    “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.”
    The light within..
    If our light dwells inside of us, if our true selves are made of stars, where does the darkness reside?
    Does the light live within the dark?
    It occurred to me that I am my shadow.
    If we look at what we believe we know about the universe, it’s made of darkness. Dark Matter. The light—the stars—live inside.
    The Principle of Mentalism:
    All is Mind..Close your eyes..
    An expanded mind condenses and creates #magnetism. It condenses further and creates #electricity. Condense once more, and there is #light.
    ✨Let there be light✨
    From light comes ether. Ether to Gas. Gas to liquid. Liquid to solid.
    These are the 7 Substances of the Universe.
    The light and shadow are never in opposition.

  • A Half Life

    All my life--or should I say--ever since I've been aware of myself in comparison to others, I've lived in shadow.

    My peers seemed as though they were in a perpetual stupor or trance. I was the only person "looking," or able to look. That's a biased perspective, of course.

    I wanted to join them so badly. I wanted to be free in expression and dancing and social norms. I wanted it and feared it so. I still fear it, and I still want it.

    Ever watching from the shadows, I live a half life in limbo.

  • I Dreamed of Flight & Ascension


    I dreamed of flight and ascension to a magical world in the clouds.  The emotion and realism I have not the heart and skill to tell.

    I flew in the open carriage of an invisible zip line. Oh, the blast of winds and breath left thin roused dilation in my eyes.
