flight of the butterfly, rising free

Exposed

Peaceful calm breeze
Touches our exposed skin
Washed in great love
Flowing from deep within

magic of love
flowing free

dim days

April 6, 2006

Feeling like a dim day, today. A little cloudy, a little chilly, a little sad. I guess some of these days are inevitable when in the midst of sweeping change. I ask for change, I welcome it, I embrace it. I am grateful for it. It's like the waves....

Smooth as silk is calm and pleasant
But to surf, we need the currents to rise
Change brews from the deepest places
Is the wind beneath our boards

My friend the surfergirl reminds me to get up every morning and look at the oncoming ocean. Not just the beach, not the ebbs and flows, not the waves themselves; but the ocean as a whole. When we look at both the waves and the horizon, we see that the depth, breadth, infinity of it all *guarantees* we won't stay where we are in the moment... Unless we choose to stay on the beach. Sometimes we grab the waves, sometimes it's better to practice the duck dive....

Today will either provide sun, rain, or shade to the flowers, to my spirit, to me... Regardless of which, today will be a good day... That is my prayer, my hope, my desire, my intent.... knock, ask, seek, receive.... Karma promises I will be well, I will be loved, if I treat others well, treat all with love....

And so, I offer these words...

Have a blessed day. Bathe in the sun, sing in the rain, ride the next wave... Whichever you choose, whichever chooses you, enjoy it, live it, cherish it!

I love you all.
