This reality is a brilliant trick of the senses

Do not take yourself so seriously

All our atoms dance to their own song

Do not waste your one precious life

Trying to follow someone else’s tune

Can you hear it?

Can you hear your unique song?

All Truths Exist Within a Paradox

My heart chases nothing for it knows that it is everything

My mind chases everything for it fears that it is nothing

My soul knows that everything comes from nothing

Lens of Two

I laugh at myself for looking

At my world through a lens of two

For believing the story that I was finally worthy of love

Because I was with you

This Too Is Happening for You

Sometimes you must let go of your pieces

For things to come back together

Trust, my love, what was is not for you

And what will be is always better

If you are brave enough to follow the voice

That is guiding you to your heart’s treasure

You’ll make every decision a mindful choice

That will lead you to a love greater than you can measure

The Free Spirit

It is beautiful to be free-spirited, but do not make the mistake of becoming attached to being nonattached. Freedom is not found in floating from person to person, in being an enigma incapable of being tied down. Let’s not romanticize it. That is avoidance. A fear that, when exploring the depths of a connection with the same people, we will have to face our own reflection. And we will, but that is where true freedom exists. Create meaningful connections with people who see you for the parts you love about yourself and the parts you are terrified of revealing. A truly free spirit is aware of their own shadow and willing to face it. They understand love takes time. That unshakeable trust is earned in everyday moments. Be brave enough to sink a little deeper with the people in your life. I promise you, they are the greatest treasures you will ever come across. They create the opportunity to understand and be understood.

Expectations

“Why do relationships fall apart?” he asked.

“Expectations,” she replied.

The Questions

I have known those who say they have the answers

But I prefer to surround myself with those who live the questions

I have known those who are the picture of success

Prisoners to their own perfection

Instead of learning to love their mess

I have known those who are afraid to commit their hearts

The luxury of so many choices

Paralyzes them from even knowing where to start

I have known those who embody great joy

They do not run from sorrow

And there is no part of themselves they wish to destroy

I have known those who understand their life to be an adventure

A brief opportunity to experience Earth

They understand true love lies in surrender

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time

A woman slipped into a world of dreams
