I AM A WILD WOMAN

I AM A WILD WOMAN

I am a wild woman I know, inspite of myself and in spite of what I’ve been told that there’s beauty in every age no matter how old

I am a wild woman I’ve learned what it means to be a life bearer to bear children to create art to plant seeds of love

I am a wild woman from the depths of the dirt underneath my fingernails to the height of my very soul I am one with the Earth the winds from the four directions whisper through my skin

I am a wild woman and the spirit of every wild woman coalesces in me for we are each wild women and we are all the spirit of the wild woman I will follow the voice in my heart

I am a wild woman I sing from my heart I dance with the stars I howl at the moon I love uncontrollably

I am a wild woman from the deepest, darkest, most sacred part of me I am fearless I cry in strength I open my arms to the sky and welcome the rain

I am a wild woman I nurture, love and protect I stand, strongly, silently, sweetly for my brothers I walk dutifully, prayerfully, joyfully upon the mother and I will not be stopped

I am a wild woman.

Quote of the Day

“Enlightenment is when reality is awake to itself as itself within itself.” – Adyashanti

A Single Desire

At the moment of awakening one realizes that what they have always been seeking is what they already are in essence.  In the great emptiness, the stillness and the silence, where everything and nothing resides, we already are perfect, enlightened and enlivened.  The laugh comes then to those who allow it – the absurdity of it all – the simplicity of it all – the perfection that we already are, when we realize that we have always already been Home. 

A Single Desire Awakeness is inherent in all things and all beings everywhere all the time. This awakeness relates to every moment from innocence from absolute honesty from a state where you feel absolutely authentic. Only from this state do you realize that you never really wanted whatever you thought you wanted. You realize that behind all of your desires was a single desire: to experience each moment from your true nature.

Quote of the Day

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

“Don’t choose. Accept life as it is in its totality.”

- OSHO

Meditation: Finding your Original Face

Finding peace, stillness, contentment and silence in the ever-present witness that is our source, can only be achieved through meditative practice.  Meditation can be dynamic motion, still silence, the spoken word, song, prayer, or any other practice that brings your awareness to the crystal state of being in the PRESENT, NOW MOMENT.  This now is all that exists, so embrace it, feel it, taste it, know it, de-light in it, listen to it…

NOW…

…do you hear? 

“Meditation is our natural state of silence and contentment. It doesn’t belong to any religion or country, but is the very core of religiousness… It is universal.  Anybody who travels the path of meditation will become peaceful and loving. This is what the world needs today.  More than ever. Yes, you will have to face yourself, your thoughts and ideas, that separates you and holds you back.  But your true face is of happiness.  Finding that original face is the journey of meditation.”

- Vasant Swaha

“When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the Supreme State will come to you uninvited and unexpected.”

Some Kiss We Want

There is some kiss we want with

our whole lives, the touch of

spirit on the body. Seawater

begs the pearl to break its shell.

And the lily, how passionately

it needs some wild darling! At

night, I open the window and ask

the moon to come and press its

face against mine. Breathe into

me. Close the language- door and

open the love window. The moon

won’t use the door, only the window.

 

From Soul of Rumi

Quote of the Day

“Inexplicably it comes.  When you least expect it.  For a reason you can never know.  One moment you are striving, figuring, imagining, and then, in a blink of an eye, it all disappears.  Everything disappears, and the person is like a pin point of light, just receding until it disappears.  And there’s nobody there to witness it.  The person is gone.  Only, only awareness remains.  Nothing else.  No one to be aware.  Nothing to be aware of.  Only that remains itself.  Then it’s understood, finally and simply.”
