Poesia - Mi Terra "Where did the Tears go?"

Where did the Tears go?

Tears stand for showers, stand for rain,
Where did it come from? Was it man?
Or did a deity filled with sorrow melt the land?
I heard in the olden days there were mountains tall as giants
Giant ice caps filled the sky and whittled their way down to us little cretins.
We were wasteful and now there are no more tears,
In the land of plenty, we have spent what we had,
Our deities no longer weep, and the land is but sand.

Aliveness!

This Monday morning, I felt a range of emotions that are hard to describe yet I allowed myself to feel them. Pre-November 5, 2010, I would have labeled these feelings as "bad" and suppressed them. This time, however, with a little help from new-found friends, I learned and practiced having the emotions 'flow' through me, and understood that I am response-able and let them flow through me then released. No judgements...no excuses...no reprimands...simply be and let through. As a good friend, Patricia, stated, "it will be over in about 90 seconds". Wow! I would not have believed it if I had not had the experience first hand. Given that I was alone when this happened, for as scary as it was, I felt a peace I would never have thought possible.

So what brought me to this point? I can honestly point to the safety and security of a group of Angels who I was meant to meet and intersect with...who at this juncture in my life, my soul and intuition directed me towards. I want to thank the Starfish Foundation, Patricia Clayson, Jay Edgar and all the amazing people who shared their time, their love, their courage, and tender gifts with me and each other this past weekend. May others know the good you are doing to promote peace within and 'oneness' with others. Gracias!! God's blessings and abundance always!

Intend new things

Risking is so hard to do when you are not used to it. Much more however, when you have risked as a younger person, and have not done so recently. This a.m. I made my intentions known to the universe and I risked sounding bold, brash -- dare I? -- positively optimistic! I intend that I will not have worries over my financial situation, I intend wealth and abundance, I intend peace, safety and tranquility, joy and love in my life; I intend my son to grow secure and healthy in love surrounded by those who love him including great friends, great role models, great fathers; a great mother; great relatives, great siblings, great pets,and a great base foundation. I intend health and love for me and my mother, father and siblings. I intend to find the task and service that God destined for me to provide to this world and use the very best of my gifts and talents. It's easy to get discouraged, harder still to overcome that feeling. May the Good Intentioned Life begin!!

Hello Again -- Hola de Nuevo~

It's been over a year since I last wrote - blogged and now is the time to pick it up again. My sanity restored...I have chosen to name it Reconnecting to Me (of course with more description in the title). I have reconnected to so many things since my husband hit my face and broke my tooth and sent me screaming out of the house. I experienced a trauma no one should ever bear. Yet, I have found myself in need of this 'soul kill' to get the help and continue my journey to retrieve and heal my soul. I view what happened as a culmination of ill judgements but mistakes that I do not hold over my head or riddle myself with guilt. I have learned that I can overcome my barriers, my fears, my insecurities. I learn to love myself and in the process give my son the love and instill trust for self, life and others. I am reconnecting also with my indigneous past and the legacies in my blood which bring me ever closer to my yearnings and destiny to connect with the healers in our lineage. If you are part of my life, or were and somewhat disconnected, thank you for being part of my journey. I appreciate for whatever good or bad has come from our interactions and ask that God blesses you on your journey and path toward your balance.
Beno! Blessings!
