Keeping gaze on horizon’s page

Last boat ride of potential last dive — photo by author

It has been at least thirteen weeks since my last entry.

It matters not.

Difficulty with left-hand typing — strengthening songs, lighting fingertips trusted sparking true.

It matters not.

Was it the TPA? or the chamber? Offering relief to left-sided paralysis.

It matters not.

Thought or no thought, where does the mind wander these days? Much easier to ‘turn off’ the mind, drawing a blank on the blank canvas of a page.

It matters not.

Petechiae rash flares up weeks after decompressing in a chamber’s dive hour six. Circulatory systems fail — before, after, and present after writing off future bottom time.

It matters not.

Primary care. Neurologist. Rheumatologist. Vampire bite — more testing — maybe even an Immunologist nosey wonderings — I’m losing track of this journey of not knowing. BP is skyrocketing — no amount of meditation is bringing it down.

WTF?! still…

It matters not.

I could spin a thousand times — creating stories and theories of just and unjust. Quiet the mind — focusing on the meaning of said circulatory system. Blockage. Failure. Heart pumping a thousand times greater.

It matters not.

Trusted is the one — fallen to the bottom of the murky seas — knowing that all will clear eventually. Slowing the breath — voiding thoughts — knowing the answers are coming — or they are not.

Thank you

 for holding this sacred space at Know Thyself, Heal Thyself.

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.

Loving Thoughts


Loving Thoughts

Without speaking a word

Taken by Author

Unconditional
Unequivocal
Play-on of words
Speak without limiting lips
Sharpened message
Spoken as needed

See without eyes
Walk without feet
Hear without ears
Fly without wings
Go to this place

Spoken by the ancients
Place of knowing
At center of it all
Losing everything
Making room for everything

*sigh

Shedding tear
Those lost in their ways
Stay on course
Speak not of The Way
Give thanks for The Way
Words misconstrued
Twisted
Thrown as daggers in ones eye

*Pause

Deflection
Breathing loving thoughts
Their direction
Brought to tears

Once more
We Love without spoken word
