Everything is Spiritual

We were told we would see America come and go. In a sense, America dies from the inside out, because they have forgotten the instructions to live on Mother Earth. This is the Hopi creed, it is our creed, that if you are not spiritually connected to the Earth, and you don't understand the spiritual reality of life on Earth, chances are you are not going to make it.

Everything is spiritual, everything has one

Spirit.

We are here on Earth only a few winters, then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us realize.

The spirit world is everything. Most of our body is water. To stay healthy you need to drink pure water. Water is sacred, air is sacred. Our DNA is made from the same DNA as the tree, the tree breathes what we breathe out, we need what the tree expires. So we have a common fate with the tree. We are all of the Earth, and when the Earth and its water and atmosphere are corrupted, then the Earth will create her reaction. The Mother reacts.

In the Hopi prophecy it says that storms and floods will get bigger.

For me it is not negative to know that there will be big changes. It's not negative, it's evolution. When you look at it as an Evolution, you know it's time, nothing stays the same. You should learn to plant something. This is the first connection. You should look at all things as Spirit, realize that we are family. It never ends. Everything is life and there is no end to life

Leaving the Everlasting Storm of You

I knew I had to close this chapter, when I realized that me having a good or bad day was determined by your mood. That the peace I was chasing could never come, as long as I stayed in the vicious cycle of trying to soften everything around you, so that when you flew off the handle, all the sharp edges had somewhere to land. I spent so much time bracing myself against your volatile ways, hoping to bring some calm to a chaos that didn’t even belong to me. And the price I paid for that was high.  It was me. It cost me myself. I lost myself from running behind you for so long, trying to shield you from everything I knew would pull the pin from the grenade of you. I’m done. I have to be done if I ever want peace for myself. I have to be done to save myself. Finally done taking cover, no longer trying to fight a battle that’s not mine to win or lose. I didn’t sign up for war, but somehow, in my search for peace, I walked straight onto the battle ground of you and suited up, like a good soldier does. The burden and the backlash weigh the same, both too heavy for me to carry and still make it out in one piece. I’m leaving this war, this ever lasting storm of you that has taken so much from me. I’m off to search for peace. I hope you find it one day for yourself. I need a quiet road, one that doesn’t require me to brace for the impact of when the sky may fall out into a storm I knew was coming.  

I need to be free. I need to be me again, and find out exactly who that is without you.

The Part of You Untouched

some of us

have lived in a horror show

so much hurt

in places

that are deep

and no human

can reach 

the pain is always there

reminding you

of how the sting reappears

and resurfaces 

coming and going

with intermittent numbing

it stays quiet

and awakes when triggered 

but there's that secret place

in your mind

where nothing else exists 

and music plays

the pain disappears momentarily 

and the part of you untouched

is always here hiding 

in the secret place

You Deserve a Great Love

 I can see how your tired soul aches, heavy with the weight of a thousand lonely lifetimes. 

You yearn for a love that calls to the fabric of your very being, to the truest parts of yourself. 

You wonder sometimes whether real love exists as you sift through threads of the past and let go of old expectations, ancient memories and hearts that were never meant to be yours. 

You wonder what love could be meant for you when you have walked so many roads that led to tangled ends. You question your worthiness, your heart and the depths of your soul.

Sweet one, no matter how dark the day or what shadows of the past that rise, never doubt your deserving of a love that will actively choose your magic each day and dance in your rains each night. 

You have a soul deep love that pounds in your chest; never silence the roar of your thunder for anyone.

You have walked your path bravely and spent many dark nights sitting with your shadows present to the lessons that they bring. 

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, you have transformed and evolved. 

Yours is not a love that should be compressed and confined to the shallows. 

Yours is a love that should soar cloud high on freedom’s light wing. 

Yours is a love so luminous, so penetrating and so searing you should never settle for anything less than arms open fully to your flames.

You deserve a love so deep that is can safely hold space for all the fantasies you have ever dreamed and a heart wild enough to fulfill each one. 

You deserve conscious action, deliberate intention and a passion that burns hotter than the Sun. 

No half-love partially dipping a toe at the shores of your spirit will sustain you.

Dear one, you deserve a great love, one who knows what they have when they have you; one that will not hide behind masks or play games. 

Someone whose actions match their words. 

A love that is befitting the fierce warrior that breathes in your chest.

No one needs to fight your battles for you as you are strong as nails and burn brighter than dragon fire. 

You know that you are the heroine in your own life and that we each must save ourselves. 

You deserve one who stands beside you as you fight your battles and celebrates your victories.

Wild one, you need someone to run with. 

You need someone as feral as you not someone to tame you or imprison you in a box of outdated rules and ill-fitting ideals. 

You are carved of storm and wildfire; nothing but broken open truth will sustain you.

Dear one, you deserve someone you can lay your parched soul upon, and rest upon that sacred soil. 

A pilgrim of love on a voyage of discovery to worship at your temple and offer blessings to the altar of your heart, as you do theirs.

Never sacrifice your precious heart for anything less.

Half a Heart

She walks with wounds

that will not heal

A heart

Broken

Torn into two

Her lover keeps half

The other half

Barely beating

As she walks forward 

Towards the rising moon

In hopes that one day

Her heart will mend

And the night

Left undone

Will emerge anew

Never Force a Relationship

Never force a relationship.

Sometimes it's better to move on, than to hold on to a person who doesn't understand who you truly are. Unfortunately there will be times where your absence will teach you what your presence cannot.

You need to stop breaking your own heart in trying to make a relationship work that clearly isn't meant to work to begin with. 

You can't force someone to genuinely care about you. 

You can't force someone to be faithful to you.

You can't force someone to be the person you need

them to be.

The truth is, sometimes the person you want the most is the same person you would be best without.

You have got to understand some things are meant to come into your life, just not meant to stay.

Everything that you do to show love, you have to be

careful, not to lose yourself by trying to fix what should never been there in the first place. You can't get the relationship you need from someone who's not ready to reciprocate the love you give to them.

I know it's hard when you meet someone and your heart feels, that's the person you could spend an eternity with, and you start to accept that they are not that person you thought they needed to be.

And no matter how many times you cry yourself to sleep at night, you will eventually heal from your previous relationship and find the one you have always longed for. Your future will now bring an understanding of why things didn't work out in your previous relationships.

One thing I have learned throughout the years, is “It is better to be single than to be in a relationship settling for less.”

If they see you as an option, then they don't deserve to be a priority in your life.

Take my advice and never chase someone who's not chasing you.

Pain Reminds Me I Am Alive

On my hardest days

Instead of ignoring my pain

I find my strength 

In the most uncommon way

I sit with the discomfort of pain

Sometimes for hours in my bed

Sometimes listening to an old Art Bell show

Sometimes reading or listening to music

It's not just one single thing that works

To snap me out of it

But just allowing myself to nurture my needs 

More often than not

I'm emotionally overloaded 

Not because I'm fragile

But because I'm an empath

Aware of the collective consciousness 

Aware of the connections of all things

My soul reminds me

How intertwined I am

To everyone and everything 

My pain reminds me

Of just how much

I am alive 

Fuck it! Nothing is of Real Value

One might think

It's devastating to lose everything 

But there is freedom

In losing everything you own

There's a fearlessness 

That surfaces 

And takes control

The world

Is less scary 

The bullys

In your life

Mean nothing to you

It's like there's a new awareness 

Of how impermanent 

Life really is

And your new attitude is

Fuck it

Because nothing is of real value

That can be taken away

Nothing

Except the love you have

And the integrity 

That measures the quality 

Of the life

You leave behind
