Walk along

It is easy to stand on the curb and shout: " I am different, I don't  belong!"

Sit there and curse your fortune, or feel superior and look down upon the mass judgingly. 

But can we, knowing that we are different fall in step with the crowd and cry with joy,  singing along and making it our song, our choice.

Can we, knowing that the only way to lead is to walk and teach by example, step down from the peadestal we have put our own selves on and fall in step. 

Accepting, finally, that the only way to influence, to serve  is to walk together, while   nurturing our own uniqueness. 

Longing

When you find yourself longing

Reminiscing and wishing

When you find yourself pining

 and thirsty

Don't shy away

Don't close your heart and suffocate the tears

Don't suffer, thinking you have lost something

The things we loose were never ours

Let tears run down your face

Trailing and celebrating

Knowing you have lived

You have loved and learned

You have hurt and been hurt

You have opened your heart and

Let light come in and shared your breath

Don't waste that breath now in sufferring

Offer it as gratitude 

Offer it as joy 

Offer it as acknowledgement 

To someone who has let you touch the source

Who has invited you into their being so you can taste oneness

Who has become a part of you

Don't cling to that gratitude

Breathe it out 

Resting on the knowledge that you are now and forever one. 

Emerge

Let yourself no longer hide 

Behind tears of helplessness

Behind fear

Behind lack of responsibility

Behind anger

Behind excuses of ignorance

Behind defensiveness 

Step away from the shadow of your conditioning

And emerge into the blazing light of your being

The Tower

Tower

Tarot Voyager

The tower symbolizing the " Law of Purification", is a revolutionary cleansing of all levels of your being. The pre-Columbian Inca warrior jumping from the tower symbolizes the purging of your impurities. The Burning Effigy represents the burning up of your dark aspects. Burn out what does not belong in your life.

The view of the sun, your eye, from the top of the tower symbolizes intense self examination. See the mental patterns and beliefs  you must destroy. See the negative emotions you must put to flame. See the physical toxins you must expurgate. See the worldly situations situations and circumstances you must change. See the aspects of yourself which are not really you that must be sacrificed.

By leaping into the alchemist's furnace, melt down the old inner and outer structures. Thus a metamorphosis occurs, symbolized by the red winged black bird, the first bird to herald the  return of spring. There is a new dawning and you restructure your life.

You may, however, lack the will of the warrior and stay trapped in your tower, your structures.

You may not have the courage to take the leap into a fiery transmutation.

Or you may project your own frustration and anger onto others and disrupt their lives.

Rage

I don't want to be another faceless shadow on the street.
I dont wish to suffer
Or look nonchalantly as life is slowly being sucked out of me
I can no longer support a system
Built on guilt and shame
I can no longer look in the eyes of others
And tell them it's ok to live without passion
I can no longer tag along a herd of
Human being chained by their own minds
Foliowing blindly rules that do not exist
Neither can I lead blindly others
Just because they refuse to think or feel on their own
Wake up
Start seeing for yourself
What is it that surrounds us
How deep is the whole we have burried ourselves in
And for the life of you start digging out
Start digging with all the rage and frustration accumulated in centuries of slavery to self- enforced blindness.
If you don't start digging, you are as good as dead.
Open your eyes or return to the dirt.
This life is ro enjoy not to suffer.

Identity crisis

We are all fighting a crisis identity.
Not because we don't know who we are.
But because we have layered our different facets in some arbitrary scale of wanted and unwanted.
And each say we put on the "better" layer, just like we put on the clothes we like best, or the layer we think will get us what we want.
But what happens to those parts that sit forgotten and neglected day after day because somewhere down the road we learned that we are not good enough, that we should be ashamed of our desires and our most sincere thoughts.
Those parts of us, because yes, they are still an integral part of us and we have deliberately been neglecting, they don't dissapear.
They sit there repressed, depressed and build up tension.
Tension we get used to, tension that we take as our every- moment duty to work out in any possible way but the simplest.
Let our being be one and express all the emotions that arise without attaching meaning and value to it.
Just like a child that is happy, then sad, or angry or tired and then happy again we are all entitled to all our aspects and moods.
And the judgement of others will be rendered irrelevant if we all allow ourselves to be.
Wear all our faces freely and nurture all aspects of our personality, especially those parts we have labeled dark and disagreeable. And watch this enormous identity crisis of humanity melt away

Success

Success is not achieving a goal but aligning the soul's desires with the actions of the physical body.
Even if that venture is a miserable failure in the worldly aspect of money, fame or possesions the soul is full of joy.
Because we are aligned, we expressed our deepest longing and we served our purpose.
Returning to our core, to our source, and being one is a success that has no measure in the logical reality of material possesions.
