I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

An Awake Heart
“An Awake Heart is like a sky that pours light.”
— Hafiz
______________________________________
It is easy
at times
to go shallow
to live skin deep
focusing on things that are not you
to cede power to circumstance
to outer powers
to other people
“My pain (shoulder) is why I feel the way I feel”
“My life is a mess because of what ‘they’ have done”
“if only my favorite politician wins, then life will be
transformed”
“I am valuable (or not) because of how I look”
“I am my accomplishments”
but it is when our heart is awakened
it is when we are at the center
and our heart “burns within us”
it is when our soul, awake, leaps for joy
at the present of the Sacred
that our true self bursts open
and
life happens!
the challenge is always to go deep
to that place
where we are
who we are
that Sacred Child
