Mmm… Now You be the Sea. Why you gotta be a little hard when it comes to what moves you:
The buoyant spirits of others cannot be lifted unless you begin to live unapologetically. Trust your gifts, unleash the yous from the vaults and give the gifts of your stories unconditionally.
Once you risk being you fully can you live in total intimacy.
Fight for what breaths you, the waters that lift you towards what inspires. Towards air. Allow your inspirations, your heart strings to navigate. To ship you off, to steer you through seas ♥
“Since you shipped my arse off to sea/I never knew where i was goin/I went where the water was flowin
I know i’ve been gone a long time, but/I’m back and i want what is mine/The ship was the love of my life”
Our inspirations are our illuminated pathways & what better way to light up our lives than allowing our inspirations to take shape, to vary in forms and embody materialization through a number of mediums! From words to music to the art that’s carved in the lives of the people and relationships we love. Today I woke up and began flipping through a favorite book and stumbled upon a verse quoting Dr. Carlos Castaneda, an anthropologists from UCLA. During his field studies of the medicinal plants of the American Southwest, he met Don Juan Matus, a Nagual leader of the shamans of Yaqui Mexico. don Juan became his teacher, inspiring an apparently awesome book titled “The Teachings of Don Juan,” appropriately. This verse that graced my gazings quoted him as saying, “Anything is one of a million paths.Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; His decision to keep on that path or choose another must be liberated from all fears.” So naturally, I became all ears. Wanting only to tune in further, I did a little research…
This marvelous don Juan is a master of reality and world views, a “master of passes” (As I’ve now deemed him) it seems. My resulting of the day? “Look at every path and ask yourself one incredibly crucial question: Does this path have a heart?” ~don Juan
These are the only pathways worthy of traversing in full length.
So Here! Have a heart. And ask yourself: Are you clearing pathways for people through your efforts in LOVE. Is your HEART to HEART relationship with your life and all that you do making room for others to similarly move. From this space can our lives fully come into bloom. Does your path have a heart?! Probably :) “And there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.” Dr. Castaneda
“have a heart, have a heart, have a heart/sixteen six six six & i know the part
you are the river flow, and we can never know
we’re just the weatherman, YOU MAKE THE WIND BLOW”
We all know I love ~Mind Designs~ the universe’s intelligent way of allowing our lives to take flight… while simultaneously allowing us to step into our accountability… because, “If We Think It, we Design It.”
Well yesterday, Oct. 21, was Deepak Chopra’s Bday, and I while reading some of his lyrical trinkets, I found a wonderful little meditation following one of my favie sanskrit words, SanKalpa which means “intention; thought; desire; imagination; volition; mental activities; tendencies and attachments.” Chopra simply wrote wrote, “My intentions have infinite organizing power”
This reminder, that there’s more than life than just happen-chance, really does remind us to hold sacred our thoughts, and to hold them dear… for this is when we step deeply into accoutability. SanKalpa - tendencies and atachments. What are we spending our mental activity on, what are we holding onto. What is it we wish to acquire. Take accountability. Are we looking to feed our earthly or individual experiences? Or are we after the attainment of something so much higher? So much greater? To gain the ability to be even more than ourselves. To serve. To embody the clearest channels so we may best be a conduit in the service of others. To the leafiest of mind designs, make your thoughts beautiful, make others lives bloom ♥ And of course, listen to this song :)
“I’m in it, aint no need to seek it
I am the content, dream like content.
So unconscious , Just me n my conscience
Im running with them wild things
Lookin’ to odd things
Gimme gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score is up, but the Angels play,
And the loneliness get blown away
Gimme gimme symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see”
YUMMMM.. feel so peaceful. A Part of our ESSENTIAL NATURE is our synchronicity. Our sense of connectedness, our ability to “TUNE IN.” A slight tilt in the earth will result in a cascade of responding events, as the earth rotates on it’s axis, our body responds in a synchronicity known as our CIRCADIAN RHYTHM. The ultimate expression of non-violence is to act in rhythmic accordance with all things. To harness life, to safeguard rhythm. This is how peace becomes impenetrable. How love is a rhythmic light, alive.
Who are the people you are pulsating in synchronicity with. Where, as if in a flash, you experience an extended state where you connect through the same illuminated patterns.
Where are the light breaks. Where do they pick back up.
How is all YOUR love
Alive tonight
Neighborhoods will try to dream
While you and me we hold and lean
Onto bodies slick and charged
Together just one beating heart

WHAT IS SOUND? ~ CHECK this LINK to view a Sweet Vid on Sound: www.ilikewhatitis/this-is-sound
Sound to me… It’s how we touch eachother from a distance. Inspire. Breath air into eachother’s lives to move and lift eachother up. That is so it for me. Because what’s wild is what’s beautiful. What’s wild is rhythmic. What’s wild makes us soar.

How are you embracing each atom of an experience that arises with open arms and wholeheartedly? With the creative and compassionate energies of acceptance and an embodied heart? To live each atomic moment in this way is to have found the truest expression of what each moment can give and what it truly means to create… To, through judgement or fragmented levels of attention, causes us to not be fully present, to - out of a lack of compassionate mindfulness, destroys the momentary nature of all that arises. Bhakti - the life of devotion. Devotion meaning wholehearted. In compassion and acceptance, being “all-in,” fully present.
What is your optimum creative expression of living in the moment?! Don’t try to change a thing about what comes your way. Aside from planting your seeds of desires and letting life do life, strive only to accept what arises with joy, gratitude and in choosing to see beauty, cultivate each moment… Because each moment, when strung sequentially, make up the pendants that strand the stories of our lives. Our moments become malas, our Rosaries, our Prayer Beads. String them beautifully.
If you give it a minute it’s wrong
If you give it a minute it’s gone
If we’re just waiting a second too long
Darling I’ll leave and you won’t come along
So give me the reason to stay
Give me the reason to wait
You know I don’t look to get caught
‘Cause darling we’re here but my true love is not
*Oh Go ‘Head, Mercedes: Where’s YOUR Head At???! What’s beautiful is realizing we are so much more than our mind, but to expand we must more deeply connect. Get to know more about how your mind is so beautifully designed <3
