little watering can

My friend waters me. She is an angel.  We talked about this over lunch today, and it inspired me to write...

Some people don't know how to love or give.  You want to nurture them, love them, show them true friendship, love without conditions.  They take and don't appreciate it, they hurt you deeply.  And you doubt yourself, wondering what you do wrong, why your love isn't good enough.  Maybe it's not about you, or your worth.

Maybe they are dehydrated, their hearts have dried up from lack of watering.  Maybe their souls have never been tended, and here you are with a little watering can, loving them, and feeding them, tending their little seeds, wishing for leaves, and someday petals.  You can see it, you can see all the living, growing, breathing potential locked away in there.

Maybe it doesn't seem to make a difference, your little watering can.  Don't give up.  The whole world is filled with un-nurtured, malnourished, dried up little soul seeds.  Water when you can, where you feel it's needed.  Don't empty your watering can though- keep enough to replenish.

Allow others to water you, and share your water when it feels good. Some for me, some for you, and the ripples will spread out and make a difference.  You may not notice it right away, you may never see it.  But maybe that seed will start to unfold a little.  Maybe that seed will water another seedlet.

And it will make a difference after all.

awakening

 

I have been away, both physically (house sitting, away from my computer) and emotionally.  I am... waiting...  preparing... I feel something tremendous is about to happen.  Like James and the Giant Peach (for all of you who remember that amazing book from childhood).

The anticipation makes me dizzy, I feel in between worlds, in limbo... going through the motions with my body in the every day world, but in transition in my mental world.  I am growing from the inside out, or the outside in. I can't tell which.  Perhaps both at the same time?

Guess what?  I am awakening.  The world is beginning to awake too!  And I am part of it!!

 
All the goodness in the world is awakening, coming out of dormancy, like slumbering trees in the enchanted forest.  Not just the faeries, elves, and druids, but everything beautiful and good and pure, everything hopeful for humanity is awakening, yawning, stretching, coming alive, old and new pure spirits reaching out, touching fingers, smiling, then grinning, holding hands, as all goodness flows through each presence, flowing back and forth, in and out, in harmony, out to the universe. 

There is hope!  Goodness is alive and well in the land, and it is swelling and growing, it's warmth and light reaching all the dark corners of the earth.  We are all one, humanity.

 


The change is coming, peace is growing, freedom is spreading.  There is abundance for all to live and thrive.

You may think I am a hopeless romantic sap.  I'll show you :)

i am...

  

I am...  I am a free-spirit    a gypsy    light worker    tree hugger    star gazer    mermaid    stardust    love and light   a flower   a secret dancer in the moonlight    whimsical flower child...

 

I am harmony   delicate  strong    laughing    blushing   gentle    fluid    complex    chocolate   dewdrops    warm peach    artist   healer   writer   lover    nature girl....

Curly hair    wiggly toes    tan lines    dimples    rainbow moonstone on my heart finger    eyes open with curiosity and wonder  (and to quote my friend "with the exuberance and tact of a four year old")

 

I would live in a treehouse, under the stars and fireflies, sleep in a hammock, swing in the breeze, leafy lullaby in the branches under the moon- 

the trees would hug me back, surrounded by flowers and the sea... an orphan and child of the universe.

 

 

I feel everything, and it is good.

what do i wish for?

It is the super full moon tonight.  They say if you send out your desires to the universe during a full moon, it boosts your vibration frequencies and amplifies your wishes.  It's rather like breathing. Breathe out~ the full moon sends out your desires.  Breathe in~ the new moon pulls your desire for manifestation.  I'm not sure what that really means.  But I can send out desires to the universe.

 
What do I wish for?

I close my eyes and see myself floating on waves, ripples.  I am warm and safe, at peace.  I am sending out those waves in all directions, starting with a single water droplet, which sends out ripples of love and peace to all the world.  I see it rippling out, a rainbow of ripples growing into waves, rolling softly toward the horizon in all directions.

I picture it comforting people, giving hope. I sense it creates a connection with all humanity and greater life.  I picture people with malice having a change of heart, for the bigger purpose of love.

My waves join all the ripples from all good people around the world, creating good change.  My little ripples of love become bigger waves over time and distance, gathering strength and power from all that is good in the universe.  Each individual, small like me, creates bigger waves of love and peace.  As all the ripples meet around the world, the drops and riverlets intertwine like fingers clasping, holding hands of friends, gathering more strength.  


 
This goodness is spreading.  Love is gathering, joining hands, drawing the whole human family together, the angels, free-spirits, poets, lovers, musicians, wide-eyed children, wise aged ones with wrinkles, believers, dreamers, hippies, activists, truth seekers, star-seeds, tree-huggers, light workers, indigos and crystals, seers and peace keepers.




 

We are all holding hands as one, and our purpose is one~ love, light, truth.  Our ripples are gathering and becoming an ocean roar.  We stand united and strong, together in love.

my clumsy body

I am filled with words- thoughts, ideas, energy, music, and life.

But I struggle with my physical being.  I open my mouth and the thoughts come out jumbled, disconnected.

 

I hear the song, but my fingers can't play it right.  I feel the music, deeply resonating within me, but my clumsy body is heavy and awkward.  I can't move with it, dance with it.  The music dances inside me, I feel the rhythm, harmony, movement, but my feet trip.

In my last life I was perhaps a mermaid; fluid, graceful, smooth, moving like a symphony, singing in harmony with the waves... but here I have land legs.  I want to open my arms and share the energy, words, love.  But instead I say something dumb and walk into the wall.

blossoming

I would like to blossom like a flower. To gently push up through the earth toward the sun, carefully open up petal by petal, unwrapping, unfolding, uncovering, exposing the delicate colors of each petal to the sun.

I would breathe life from the earth, draw love from the warm ground, everything to sustain me would fill me up from the inside, and give me life, and I would breathe out that perfect healing sustaining love, back out into the world.

Breathing in love, breathing out love.  I would become a torus of love and good energy.  And that would be enough to change the world.
