Playing Catch-Up

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”  -- Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum LP


can't remember if I posted this quote before or not - LOL - no matter if I did still like it


wanted to post my words that come up out of meditation everyday - decided I have been more than ready to leave for the park after meditation - the "recreational" computer I use at work doesn't "like" blogger since it's last upgrade so guess I am posting my stored up journaling now - starting with the oldest, can't say I am feeling any are particularly brilliant, they here as markers on my inner journey




awakening light
deep truths stir
slumbering giants arise


**************************
unraveling truths
intertwining paths
light and love


**************************

singing the names of God
sweet soft lullabies
gently rocking my soul

**************************

i am awakening to who i am
i am awakening to who you are
i am awakening to who we are

**************************

softly slowly awaken
names of God resound
intertwined with light


**************************

i am following a path set down long ago
she held the mirror for me to see
so i may reach into my own heart

**************************

shifting stories
complex patterns
quiet reflections 

**************************

spontaneous song
uplifted joy
peaceful realization

**************************

melodious joy
sweeping love
touching God

**************************

rifts of sounds
upsurging spiraling
echoing in God;s ear

**************************

joyous my heart
to behold you in wonder
my soul resonates in you

**************************

depths of my soul
from a song do i reach
relaxed resplendent

**************************

drifting in a timeless realm
forgotten truths swirling
grasping at bare edges

**************************

lulled to sleep
upliftment heavy work
enlightenment another day 

**************************

light and legacy
blood and bones
it is all in the telling  

**************************

open my soul to truth gently
so many made up conundrums
fascinate me with wisdom  

**************************

sleep my fine soul
awaken at leisure
bask in dreams  

**************************

i am out of touch
beyond the edges again
lost in reverie  

**************************

throw yourself into the void
release your identity
relax, breathe, see  

**************************

resurgence of light
filtering through the haze
the darkness set ajar
