When the Heart Softens, Worlds Open

{“Love” by Alexandr Milov}

Heart soften with the lingering thoughts of lessons, learned and yet to be learned. That inner knowing of things in anticipation, yet also the steps to get there; the scatteredness of all that is and yet to be fills the mind with anxiety and gratitude at the same time.

Words coming and going and wishing one could catch them all down before those beautiful butterflies of wisdom fly away. Or like a balloon filled with good cheers seemingly floating along for one to grab the string out of curiosity and wonder. The painted sky of colored clouds reflecting the brilliance this world has to share if one looks up for a moment of time with the inner child’s view and perspectives.

Once caught, the worlds of possibilities can open and spill out so many possibilities of potential… almost to overwhelm with such joy and merriment. Tears of such joy stream down the face and the download of lessons come again.

Softening the heart with the truth of why we chose these adventures and delightful lessons of the soul’s clearing. The music and dance of the soul drive the path and it is only when the mind calms down and the heart comes center in the breath, we understand the delivery of the messages through signs, people, and magic.

We enter this space and time in the void. Void of creation, void of potential, void of discoveries. And we hear the truth for the first time.

For me, it came with a car accident as I closed my eyes to enter this realm and hear, “You are love and loved. Don’t forget this.”

And I couldn’t forget this and it was often reminded to me as I sat, reflecting with a pen and journal or the keyboard humming under my fingertips.

Love and Loved. So many times I questioned this truth and yet when I felt this truth… magic happened.

Filling in The Blank Spaces

{artist unknown}

Dreams fill out the blank space, either letting you know what is filling our world up, for good or bad reasons; or opening your world to a new array of brilliance to explore…the new adventure. As the new moon in the sign of home comes now, looking at your dreams can regain your powers and rebuild your foundation stronger.

Take the time to dive into the dream; explore what you need to understand and perhaps leave behind. It’s okay. We haven’t missed out of something special. Perhaps it has grown into a new and better form or the timing isn’t right for it. Evolve your thought to witness the reality as it is now. You may have gotten knock down or distracted for your own protection. If this grand scheme is truly yours; it will manifest. Seasoning the reasons, the service for this idea to bloom is the delay.

Does the dream serve a purpose for others to value it? Or is it just a passing thought of wonder and you just liked it enough to follow this butterfly flickering by you by chance?

When the thought idea feels grounded and certainty of joy arises… this is the one to act on… Simply put… your heart sings with your feet still on the ground.

I have followed many ideas, only to find it lead me down the empty field of wishes… no real joy…just an idea of abundance. Too many of those can slowly kill your enthusiasm for living.

Open mind allowing too many ideas to flood your head, each seems valid for someone, doesn’t mean it is for you. If it is a fly by idea and you happened to just like it enough to attempt it; chances are you are getting more of a lesson than the riches you dreams would happen. Though if your heart truly pulls you in one direction over others; don’t stop yourself with a doubt or second thought. Lessons are good and we are here to have a few of them.

Wondering why my interest in this? Simply the last few nights have danced with the past lessons and wounds in the making still trapped in the deep recess of my heart and soul. Time is rebalancing myself and focus forward through those lessons in love, career, and relationships of all kinds. Writing helps me acknowledge the creation and opens the healing at a deeper level of forgiveness. Sharing may help someone through the pain; regrets, and depression it may cause…shine a little light of hope, healing and peace of not being alone.

I have been guided back to my foundation I have had ignored out of self-pity, pain and allowing the depression to rule my world into those dark recess of my world needing to be cleaned with a little love or a lot of love. Remembering the foundation is not reliving your past; it is to regain and reclaiming your power. Finding your strengths and patching some cracks by letting yourself be you without a doubt in your mind. Remembering you are in this world; not of it. Not a part of the brainwashed robots or corrupts souls desperate for the getting it without appreciation. You know them; the lesson givers. The ones you look and admire their cunningness, yet know karma can be a bitch after stepping on too many good souls.

Reading some quotes of some of the good souls’ words has helped my regrouping and embracing my formation into this world of mine. Some have been told to me along the way to assist me to continue on the twisted path of art adventure. Some just seem to show up at just the right time. Here are just a few.

~ Learning never exhausts the mind. Leonardo da Vinci

~ “If you are striving to do something you value, it is so important to surround yourself with people who unequivocally support your work. It is both a trap and a poison to have so-called friends who have the same injuries but no real desire to heal them. These kinds of friends encourage you to act outrageously, outside of your natural cycles, out of sync with your soul needs.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estes

~ Sometimes a little silliness is all you need to get a better perspective of your problems. Dodinsky

Thank you Universe for not giving up on me, the way I thought I had. Count your blessings for the life you have; as tough as it gets, the more stories you have to share. Each is a new chapter in your book of life. Make it amazingly brilliance as you truly be. Be the wonderful friend of kindness; be the amazing supportive parents, allowing your child to be that child of their own making; be that wondrous artist sharing your magic.

Be you. Be true. And always just be your beautiful amazing you.
You are love and loved. Don’t forget this!

Whispers of the Waves

{unknown artist}

I hear the whispers of the waves;
vibrations through the colors and motions of friends

Sending a hug

And feeling the caress of the return
the moment’s waiting
for the world to turn

So I response without initiation
Follow through with intentions
As I feel the noise within me surge
Passions and the silent yes
Climbs up my spine
as the breath is taken.

Deeper into the soul’s grace
And the beauty of the dance persist
Music lingers between my fingertips
As the pounding keys
bounce in delightful rhythms
Song of the heart tingling brilliance

As I wait within the whispers
Overhearing the ideas and plans
The wavering notions of peace and chaos
Smiling with the exhaling strokes of fingertips’ song
Take a moment of appreciation
For those friends’ vividness echo through the breath. ~jh
