With my lowball raised in the air, I toast to a year of blogging, a year of following and a year of being followed. I appreciate the support I have received from each one of you in this journey. Being supported in exploring the inner workings of my heart, mind and soul has been an interesting processContinue reading “Salud: A Toast”

Walk with Me ~ A triad
Walk with me, skirting the edge of reality’s boundaries so we can dance with the darkness that is seducing our minds. The slopes are slippery, footing precarious Fantasies beckon from the mist of desire But truth whispers from life’s bowels questioning our sinful disdain. From a different vantage point finding the stillness within shedding theContinue reading “Walk with Me ~ A triad”
Heart’s Journey
“My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that what misses me was never meant for me.” ~Al Shafifi As I drove to Raleigh Tuesday I could not believe what I was indeed doing: taking time off of work to go to a mid-week show inContinue reading “Heart’s Journey”

Then after sometimes reluctantly using my tools or reaching out to close confidantes with a ‘simple confession,’ I quickly reached clarity again. I often felt like I was on a lopsided wheel. Prevailing emotions included self-doubt and self-loathing with aContinue reading “Shadow Boxing”
Annular
Circles and cycles repeatedly returning, seemingly back to the start. At times feelings of falling apart. Much like Groundhog’s Day until the lesson is learned, the part made whole, what is outward becomes inward: enfolded. Just as the season’s cycle, so do the lessons, again like the corkscrew piercing deeper into shadows. From the death of fallenContinue reading “Annular”
