Purple Flower Meditation

Today I discovered 

This small purple flower 

Growing out from hard rock 

Creating their own way 

With the other plants 

You know, they're really here

To be as purple as possible 

And so ask yourself 

How can you be even more you 

Even more possible 

Remember, I believe in you 

Just like I believe in 

This purple flower

Pomegranate Meditation

 

Someone gave me this beautiful pomegranate, which I split in half and watched the dark crimson puddle spread on my kitchen counter. I thought to myself, who would enjoy this? I brought it outside with the intention for the ravens to come and feast from the seeds, thinking of Demeter, Persephone, and yes, Hades. But who knows, it could be the black squirrels, the common sparrows, or maybe hummingbird will be attracted to that red juicy center and find what they need  in order to flourish, in order to grow.

 

Blessed be.

Doubt Your Doubts

When I was young, I would cry all the time,

I used to be different, I used to be shy,

I'd stay in my room, my nose in my books, 

I never felt comfortable with any of my looks.

I felt lost behind my glasses, hiding in my hair,

 Over sized sweaters and jeans is all that'd I would wear,

Hiding my body, not comfortable in my skin,

Underweight, even my emotions were thin.

I still cry, but not for no reason,

I become more outgoing every single season,

I feel at home wherever I am,

I'm a tattooed love babe, but I don't have a tan.

I love my glasses, I have excellent hair,

Little black dresses and scarves are what I wear,

Showing my body, feeling comfortable in my skin,

Overweight now, though I somehow still feel thin.

I used to not love myself, but now I do,

Love my cats, my kid, and my husband too.

Love living my life, and feeling loved,

Grounded on the earth, blessed from above.

Blessed be

Window of Your Soul

Imagine for a moment, 

This is the window 

To your soul.

Now ask yourself, 

Are you looking out,

Or are you looking in? 

And as you look out,

 What wonders do you behold?

As you look in,

What marvels are revealed?

Take a moment, 

To pause, to contemplate, 

To simply observe, 

The window 

Of your soul.

Diamond Quality

Diamond Quality

Earn my living honestly

Show gratitude in every way

Honor students, teachers, elders

Calm and patient as the garden

Compassionate as the gardener

This is my vision

My diamond

And there is nothing harder or clearer

Than my resolve
