Surrendering my Heart


Surrendering my Heart

Great Mystery calls my name

And the day came — roller-coasters no longer interested me — the ups and downs, neck-snapping. Jarring heads, bouncing off the backrest, brain splattered on the inner walls of cranial supplantation. Frozen in time, fear-ridden mongrel consuming thoughts inner-standings skewed by the past, present, or particular future glimpse of what may or may not be.

Do it! We double-dog dare you! Step into the Light!

Ok, just for a moment.

Here I am! Show me what you got! Calling Great Mysteries bluff, as if disbelief in any other possibility other than pain and suffering pigeon-toed position.

Walls trembling, lights flickering, soul-felt terror entering an ever-expanding vortex, whistling and vibrating with a heartbeat of creations first flutter. Holding onto whatever remains of this physical plain — hair-pulling experience nonetheless, far too late for that.

Trash recycling out with the old, accepting new story-lines, told by a Great Story Teller. Intently listening, forever glistening, an inner voice speaking truths and dropping bombs like O.G. back in the day — Unmistakable spoken words and vibratory thoughts, tales-telling of infinite potentiality.

Here I am! Fusing all things intertwining deductive reasoning, accepting shadows of doubt, light altering schemes of things, sitting at points pivotal play-on-words, yin and yang grasping straws no longer. Acknowledging the greatest lies in history — truths told by our dead, surrendered hearts burn hot like great fires in the belly, unexpressed painful grasp in not letting go.

The vibrational fusing of souls, self-realizing cosmic beings entering trance-like state for the human populace, showing up when called “to be,” doubtlessness enters the building. Atop the mountain-ways, amidst the villagers’ fire-circling chats, or just observing a band-goer awkwardly Skanking to the Beat, Story Teller explains-“feel the vibration, be the vibration.”

It is time!-life’s surrendering moment to Great Mysteries unspoken words and canvas-like parables or picture-book irreproachable. With stories to tell, songs to sing, painted Canvas stepping into more play-on-words, letting it all go, surrendering all of “It.

No longer I or we, self or they, identified not by physical or spiritual beings withholding, “We just are,” no longer labeled goat or sheep, good or evil, whole and holy are we — together we march.

Where Did All the Creatives Go?


Where Did All the Creatives Go?

When life gets in the way

A place not too long ago where authors and painters sketched or wrote detailed outlines of daily occurrences, broken cheesesteak flipped upside down. Like Houdini, vanishing for a moment, eternally, not quite sure where poets fading memories rest their heads.

A barricade, writer’s block, lives naturally calling us away, attached not to expectations but being in the flow. Yes, life’s natural ebbs and flow, collectively, singularly, allowing universal play-calling, musical selections, life’s greatest soundtrack releasing Syncrosensational momentous tracks.

Returning from darkest hours, nights day unfolding songs of misery, puff and pass dealer’s choice, personal preference Agave blues. Present-day, awakened minds unprecedented happenstance basic needs advancement upon cosmic lettered in Midas’ gold.

Breathe in, breathe out, yesterday retiring its favorite tune. Present-day singing for the ages, retro-fitting an ever-expanding reality — past, present, future — triune Gods self-internal knowing, back in black, charging both ways future’s uncertainties.

Balancing life’s mysteries, finding peace in not knowing, we are edging out chapters one and two. Replacing whole story-lines, songs unwritten, spoken truths not from lips but hearts verbal cues, vibrational pull gravitational transitions like pulling a rabbit out of the hat.

Lists overwhelming presence, counterfeiting laughter, getting shit done, working down to the bones. Completed steps PiYo vinyasa flow, centering existential prowess at the galactic core of everything.

Stepping into the Canvas with two steps, merengue, and salsas with a flare, no longer keeping time and certainly not the score. Uncharted or here before, severing time-space resolution, allowing for collective kaleidoscopes stained-glass approaching thoughts infusing self-realizing ways.

At first I was going to respond to a prompt before life got in the way of writing, but then another presented while searching the archives for previous. Staying true to my own fashion, fusing past, present and future, I chose to tie them both together. Thank you J.D. Harms for the prompts!

The first prompt inspired the idea of writing about personal observations of writers falling off the grid for reasons unknown.

The second prompt inviting creative word-spin of sorts. Syncrosensational was a word that gave birth during a talking circle. One of the participants was discussing moments that made her feel good. As she stammered on the wording, she stumbled between synchronicity and sensational. Stopping her mid-sentence, I asked her to repeat what she just said and if she had heard the birth of syncrosensational.


Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.
