Tadpole’s first swim in the vast open waters of self-discovering thoughts — squashed by human’s stomping ways of never understanding where to plant the next steps. Division of wholeness — two atoms colliding — forcing a split — fission of original grounds, once stood upon.

Ways of old — ancient as a big yellow ball in the sky — forcefully turned against oneself, battling shadows of doubt — ergo Jungian thought, green light given by Captain* himself. From the morning of life, playtime on schoolyards barking wall — afternoon of life, working in the slave yards of giving and never receiving.

Prescribed thought by other tongues — failing to be of own sound mind, forcefully giving time — muscle to the perpetual motion of the great machine. Worn out — hung out to dry — dirty old sweats baring blood and stains of soul-inflicted abuse.

The levee breaks

Weeping willows

Washed out back to sea

Drowning in two conflicting pools — streaming airwaves collectively — consciousness revealed — superpowers buried outback, only to dig up the ancient beliefs. Stories of two wolves present themselves — three halves of Ino Moxo calling out by name — four directional stares from past, present and future self.

Acceptance

Forgiveness

Declaration I AM Here

Easterly pull — straight into morning rise of collective aggregation — shadow self-following — cast to the winds past formidable. Tattered soul, making his way back home — plugging into Tesla’s power bank of ever-charging batteries — atomic time clock set and with the snap of fingers resetting the Canvas of Self — third person singular.

Deep contemplative records spin — hokey pokey and dead or alive playing in cosmic tunes — dancing with inspiration. Laughing at oneself — medicine for soulful knowing of truth — observing all before and latitude spanning global wrapped blanketed by the stars — an illusion of self and all things transformed physical reality.

It is done

Go forth

Shadow remains, taking a back seat to lightened visionary thought.

I was originally going to table these thoughts until my return from a soul-filling trip to Peru, but sleep was interrupted by the spinning of words. Submitting to the call, I chose to submit before boarding.

I could not resist when J.D. Harms* gave the green light for Jungian thought.

As a child, we are born whole, only to be told how to act or what to think. Spinning our lives in confusion and conflicting thoughts until the day comes, choosing the steps placed before us.

Knowing the shadows still exist, we honor them while moving towards the morning sun. Forever casting shadows of doubt behind us while leaving illuminated steps for others to follow.

I am no expert, and these are my personal thoughts. Traveling the world and discovering self is all I ever claimed to know.

Thank you J.D. Harms, Zay Pareltheon, Melissa Coffey and the whole Scrittura family for accepting these words.


Thank you Kacy Singh for her piece pertaining to one area of shadow-self, our perfectionist behaviors. Please give it a read.


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.

See you all on my return.

Deep Within the Canvas


Deep Within the Canvas

Our hearts beating as one

We arise each day with many choices in our being. Do I have morning coffee? What to have for breakfast? In the interest of time, we create habits or rituals to be more efficient throughout our day.

We have the same breakfast — adding one or two cups of coffee to start the day because that is what we think will start our day in the right direction. While brief, it may, but can we sustain this feeling throughout our day?

A mere sip into a greater feeling, unsustainable or prolonged effect intently forward?

If we act in a certain way or do certain acts, we will have a more positive experience. While it may be so, what if the day does not go as expected? Can one sustain positivity during times of difficulty? Unfortunately, our attachment to how the day should be, how we should act, or what our appearance should be, may only lead to more suffering.

As the world spins around us, inclusively turning, how we respond changes the directional pulls of universal thoughts. It just is.

Our attachment to how the Canvas of Life ‘should be’ leads only to more suffering. Allowing the Canvas of Life to be as it may, while exchanging a dance with inspiration or harmonizing to a magical tune, we find ourselves unattached, untethered to what the world around us says we ought to be doing.

In a world of bypassing, we connect to all there is.

Attached to an outcome, we find only pain and misery. Attached to experiencing All There Is, we lead an awe-inspiring life. Deep within the Canvas is a Heartbeat. Those willing to listen shall hear — feeling a deeper connection to All There Is. No attachment, just awe-inspired.

It is…as It may…

Awareness of life’s unfolding mysteries, we remain in awe. Is it a sign or is it just life synchronicity?

Oh, the blue feather
fallen at my feet.
Must be a sign
of something
someone
communicating from another realm.
Hawk screeches
flying overhead
messenger.

What does it mean?

Affixed on the story
meaning of sorts
stuck
dwelling — never knowing.
Breathe.
Winds gentle whispers
clouds blanketing sun
connecting.
Mother calls
step gingerly in her presence.

Spinning in thought
sitting quietly — amused
bursting into laughter
tears welling.

Painting the skies
land
water
burning desires
given birth.

Oh, the blue feather
fallen at my feet
awakened my Spirit
eternal gratitude It Is.

Open to receiving great messages from beyond — left wondering if it is a sign from the spirit of life itself. Is it a sign? or merely a trigger to life’s mysteries unfolding, fading memories and heartfelt transmissions of something great?

As simple as a Japanese maple leaf, triggered thought, captured moments and memories withholding, Jenine Bsharah Baines expresses her gratitude through a chance (or was it) moment in time.

Thank you Filza Chaudhry and Heart Revolution for housing these words.


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.
