Love Yourself Enough

You are the leader of your life.

Your feet go where your mind goes.

Travel lightly and intuitively, so that you can allow an open mind to the intentions of others.

Ask the hard questions.

Listen to their truths.

Read between the lines of their words and the energy that comes with it.

So many are here to test you.

Trust the process of healing and unfolding.

You go where your mind goes.

There is so much more goodness waiting for you, just keep going.

Believe that you are here for a purpose and trust that your boundaries will also help guide your way to where you want to be and who you should be surrounded by.

Mirror what it is that you desire for your life.

Only you can get yourself there.

Be strong in your self-love so that others can see how you know you deserve to be treated.

Leave no room for those who want to take away your power.

You are in control.

Take the reins and hold on tight.

Love yourself enough.

Fading

Who’s turn is it, mine or yours.

The colors are running dry, the brightness is fading fast.

Age is growing older, time is ticking by.

Who’s turn is it, mine or yours, is it time yet?

The time is ticking by.

Colors fade, time ticks away, and all we can do is keep on moving with each flow of the motions of life.

Each flow, each motion, each tick tock of the clock brings us closer to the other side.

For each new day, each new lesson, we each get to sit and wait…

We take turns experiencing lessons as we wait and wait for each new day to come and tick tock on by.

There is no time, really.

It is your turn, surely it is not mine.

Every day that passes, I have had experiences that have lasted me days upon days that I cannot even remember my first name.

They call you by your last name, leaving you to wonder who you even are anymore.

Let’s start writing, maybe keep track of things, so we can see where all of this waiting is leading us to.

The days tick on by, a wind blows, a hollow sound goes through one ear hole and out the other.

Is there even anything that comes after this?

Shall we sit here and wait until the last drop of color has faded away and the clock runs out of ticks and tocks?

I surely don’t even know when it was that I last ran through a field without a care.

It would be nice to eat without the fear of there being little left to eat upon the next morrow.

We shall sit and watch as the clock ticks away and the sun fades and makes its way below the horizon, leaving the twilight sky for us to rest upon.

As we lay awake in wonder, we may, oh we may, dream upon the twinkling sky, that we may awaken upon a new day with the brightest of colors.

Oh to heavens we may wish upon that we may awaken to plenty of food, and for all the clocks to have faded away so we may run into the field and pretend we have wings.

A day full of joy, full of wonder and plenty of laughter.

Upon this start I do wish.

Thank you, until we meet again.

Love Life Deeply

Peace over Mind

In life there are moments that we must have courage to overcome our fears, to overcome our thoughts, to overcome our belief systems that may be hindering us from fully succeeding at enjoying our life.

Experience more peace. Find the way to allow yourself to have peace overpower the pulls of the mind.

Explore more. Understand that what may be holding you back may simply be a change in perception or conditioning that has kept you from truly experiencing the beauty and incredible diversity in exploring more of this life.

Escape the mind. As the mind can hold us back from truly feeling peace.

Sometimes the mind can pretend to be your friend, as it secretly sabotages you with fear, worry, and doubt that you have been taught that you need. Yet, so much of it can really be harmful, rather than helpful or practical.

Practice letting go of these thoughts.

Trust more of the peace, which is in the silence of the mind.

The unknown can be healing and relieving for the soul that is YOU.

Protect your energy.

Find and hold onto your peace.

A Heart Healing

A love was found, then it left.

A heart was full, then it wept.

-M.

Feel

Soft feelings of fur and velvet.

Rough textures of sand.

Consistent sounds of rolling tides and thunder.

Cool winds that leave pings of goosebumped skin.

Bright sunny light causing squinting eyes.

Heart pumping eccentric music.

Calming feeling of nature sounds.

A long breath of fresh salty air.

To feel.

To touch.

To breathe.

To be…

It is all beautiful.

-M.

Romance

Romance is more than what they show you in the movies…

It is so much more than what you can read in any of the love stories…

Romance can be the colors of nature, in a field at sunset, as the sun dances with its golden hues upon all that it touches.

It can be the way the wind moves a branch, in the sway of its unseen, gentle grasps.

Romance can be simple, a beautiful flower and how it melts your heart.

A walk down a trail, filled with trees of chirping birds, in the first morning light…

Romance isn’t just between two lovers…

It is much more than that by far.

Romance can be between you and nature, a feeling of excitement, a feeling of deep joy.

It is beauty, and appreciation for such things that bring you happiness.

Romance is beautiful, in all of its definitions.

You deserve more of all of it.

-M.

Love Story

There are magical moments when you wish you could capture a feeling…

So many times when you wish you could bottle up the smells and the moments to revisit whenever you’d like.

A wish for a day, in a field with a loved one…

A moment of wonder, in a sunset glow, with one another…

Walking side by side, filled with love, as the falling sun gazes back into your eyes.

You have so many hopes, so many inspired feelings, and a magical sense of being captivated by this moment in time…

A love story for two,

A love story for one,

A love story of life…

A memory of yesterday,

A timeless mystery for tomorrow,

And a remembering and a hope for today…

Carry on my love.

Carry on.

This life will dance for you.

The sun will set and the days will be full of love.

Carry on and you will soon see, the memories will never fade away.

You are the jar,

You are the looking glass,

You hold it all.

You are the magic, my dear one.

Through and through, you have it all.

-M.

Dreaming of You

I fell in love with you in a dream…

You seemed so real.

A life without struggle or pain.

A life full of passion and joy.

You were not a person, not a man or a woman, you were a feeling…

A feeling of freedom.

I fell in love with you in a dream…

You were not a lover, you were not a kiss, or a hope for something to physically touch.

You were a feeling…

You were a breeze, a wind that lived within me.

You guided me like a breath.

Through each moment I found you were there to lead me through each path.

I fell in love with you in a dream…

You held my hand, like the gentle motion of a whisper through the air, guiding me to where I had always hoped to go.

You did not tell me things that I thought I wanted to hear, or show me fancy cars or promise me rings and material things…

You showed me how to let go of all that was in my way…

You lead me through each block in my mind and reminded me how to play.

You showed me I was necessary and that I had the key the entire time…

I fell in love with you in a dream…

It was a daydream, a night dream, an imaginary world, one which I never wanted to leave…

A dream of being free to feel and explore…

A dream of being me, without a thought of what anyone else would think of me or how I chose to be more.

You lead me down paths of mystery that I had always hoped to discover.

I fell in love with you in a dream…

Now I only hope that you may be real, for this is a dream that I could find much gratitude for.

-M.

Show Me

As I walk through the rocks and feel gentle tickle of the foam-edged waters, show me…

As I dance through the hot sands and find the cool smooth surface of the wetted sands, show me…

While the air flows over my face, letting me smell the softness of the salty air, show me…

Show me how to live.

Show me how to love…

Show me the ways of this world that man has forgotten how to honor…

I want to know how to breathe without fear of death.

I want to move without fear of pain.

I want to love without fear of a broken heart…

Show me…

Show me how to live harder, and to not fear pain.

Show me how to understand passion without fear of falling.

Let me know it is okay to live in a way that takes me to the edge and back.

Let me feel the breeze at the edge of a cliff without fear of the ground below.

I want to know how to live without fear of death, for death is just a natural part of this human existence.

Let me know how to swim in open waters without fear of drowning, for I want to LIVE!

Express passion to me through a wicked storm, and show me how to survive it.

Engage with me in a Sundance that taunts my wayward eyes that long to gaze at its beautiful presence.

Enchant me with a crescent moon and the wolves that howl at it.

Let me feel pain, let me be free, let me know how to explore more of the beautiful land and the expansive sea.

I want to know how to dance with rainbows and caress the breeze with the sway of my hips that flow with my heart beat.

You know me, you are me, Mother Nature, show me how to be free.

-M.
