We are pearls

Sometimes, we're fortunate enough to cross paths with a song that reaches deeply into our soul to simply remind us of who we are, when we aren't seen by others, or when we, ourselves, forget. Thanks MaMuse for widening my heart with this one. 

Pearls by MaMuse 

To the west, to the east
Above are flying south, the geese
North is there on the breath of the wind
Changing form
And a tender heart
Can build a solid shell
Into the seas where
The current swells
Waiting to be carried
By the waves of the
Coming storm

And the waves rose higher
Than the day did
And the fear
Penetrates the sun, but
A calmness brings a longing
Calmness brings a longing
Longing to return

We are pearls
We are pearls
Born little grains of sand
We are pearls
We are pearls
Born little grains of sand
Washed up on dry land
Trying to find our way
Back to water

And we are here to love
Not to behave, ivory refugees
On the banks of change
Learning to shine,
Shine and let it go
So we can hold it back
Or let it flow
Each moment there
A choice unfolds
Water, teach me of your
Transparent ways
We are breathing each moment
Into the next
We are navigating through
These things we can’t expect
We are Human Spirit Pearls

We are pearls
We are pearls
Born little grains of sand
We are pearls
We are pearls
Born little grains of sand
Iridescent
Unaware of how much
Light’s reflecting

You were born to stay wild
Stay wild, Child, stay wild
We are born to stay wild,
Stay wild, stay wild
Turning, returning, returning

To the west, to the east
Above are flying south, the geese
Teaching the ways of surrender
As the north wind bends her form
Teaching the ways of surrender
Teaching the ways of surrender
Teaching surrender
Teaching the ways of surrender
I am changing form

We are pearls
We are pearls
Born little grains of sand
We are pearls
We are pearls
Born little grains of sand
And more precious
Than we could ever
Understand.

A Year of Dana

Last October, I went to a powerfully intuitive reiki practitioner, looking for a cleanse and realignment of the energy centers in my body. I needed her help to deal with my divorce grief. I had no idea what to expect, but walked away feeling upright, lighter, and energetic. Days after my second reiki, while sitting in meditation, I experienced an intimate moment of gratitude for someone I love deeply. Within minutes, I felt a rush of clarity and energy in my body. Just like that, the idea of living A Year of Dana came to me. After a few months of feeling the continuous energy of this idea in my heart and body, I finally decided to give notice to my employer. I am leaving my job of five years on April 3, 2020. Over the next year, I will be living A Year of Dana , focused on the practice of generosity towards myself and others. I will practice generosity through cultivating a heartset and mindset of abundance and dismantling my own mental conditioning around scarcity. My h

The Fear Series: I am too much to be loved

Shoreline at Point Reyes Feeling.  Feeling has been my greatest power, yet my greatest source of suffering. I've been deeply sensitive since I was a small person. As a power, my feelings have enabled me as a natural empath who can pick up on nuanced, interpersonal dynamics and effectively support people emotionally. As a source of suffering, my feelings, left unseen, cause me to be unnecessarily defensive, difficult, and self-loathing. To deal with them, I tend to feel quickly, "process" quickly, and show it quickly. Part of the quick pace has been conditioned by my family.  My feelings represented weakness, disrespect, and a lack of gratitude. They needed to disappear as quickly as they came.  How could you be crying? What is there to cry about? We love you, we feed you, we house you, and we keep you physically safe. You're in America! It's not like you fled war! Save your tears for something worth crying for.  So, you might be thinking, well at least you can fee

Celebrating 35: Things I'm Learning to Love, Accept, and Adore About Myself

Image
This art piece reflects my effort to cultivate deeper self love and tenderness <3   For my 35th birthday today, I am reflecting on things I've held shame, guilt,  embarrassment  or simple shyness and discomfort around. Some of them are imperfections, either past or present, that I am learning to love, accept, and adore about who I am - from the daily mundane to the deeply personal. Each one of these things is its own journey and I proudly celebrate them on the day of my rising into the 36th year of living on Mother Earth. I fully acknowledge I am a tender work-in-progress for this lifetime and beyond. Thank you as always for witnessing and celebrating with me.  I can be incredibly stubborn.  When things don't follow through according to plan, I can get irritated or anxiously controlling.  I really love to eat... and can throw down food. I was a chubby kid once so I can get embarrassed by this. Somehow I always get food stains on my clothes. But the imperfection is how neurot
