Witness the Beauty


Witness the Beauty

Culminating truths unfolding

To see the canvas of life — in its truest form — is to see beauty in all its disfigured articulations.

Questioning the possibilities — they will — not looking deep enough to see perfection within the imperfections. We are all imperfectly perfect and flawed in many ways. Reflecting and projecting — seeing and believing.

Witness the shadows of self, others, and ancient traumas passed down from generation to generation. How did we get here? Where did all our triggers of anger and fear begin?

Dig a little deeper — witness ancestral passed — culminating truths unfolding and unraveling as inaccuracies or ‘untruths.’

The Canvas of Life tells a new story by reinventing truth — present reality. A story of beginning and end — unfolding daily and flowing as it always has.

Our attachment to end goals — what is real or fantasy, trips us every time. What if we just observed — allowing our truth to present itself through every step — kissing Mother Earth in peace and love?

See pain and suffering, witness miracles of the day, see from a higher perspective — observing the wholeness of Great Mystery.

Shadows Shining Brightly as the Source of Light

Receiving lessons of acceptance

Chasing our shadows of doubt
turning attention to the source of light
Both leave us with great mystery.

Wearied song
or uplifting thoughts
our attention carries the tune.

Acknowledge the wolves
nipping at our heals
sheep’s clothing — invisible at first. 

Physical, literal
spiritual, metaphorical
embodiment — just the same.

Our shadows can shine brightly as the source of Light through which awareness and mindfulness are achieved. Linger in the shadows, and that is where we remain. Turning attention towards source energy, receiving lessons of acceptance for all (you, me, he, she, we, they) — ironies of life, finding humor in the satirical behavior of man.
