Poem by -William Wordsworth

'Wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

-William Wordsworth

A Teenager 2013




A Teenager is time trapped
Not a child
Not an adult

And are u to set it free
Or hold it captive

How free are you
Were u set free when u were a teenager
 did u want to be,
 do u know another way,
 are u them ?

How much inside you needs to
Keep that teenager down, safe,
Seen, heard, happy, loved, .....

A teenager, trapping time to
Let go...

A Teenage

Prose 2013

And what makes half the fountain be liquid and the other half solid....do the laws of science pertain to us as we need to have less mass to be more in liquidity...or must we remain less in tact and more filipendulous so as to drop into a new pool of water and not remain frozen in place....

Prose 2013 kmg



and what with these crazy lives we lead
where are we led, what to perceive
and is it the moments and lead us to another door
as we drop trinkets 
, to fit thru
, where
 we could not fit before

poem 2013

Candles flicker
Thoughts no more
I sit
I wait
Open the door

The psalms fill my head
In the bed
In the night
I wait
Close my eyes
See the light

Unfolding
It comes not yet
I am not ready
Yet

Put the phone away
Welcome the new day

Here I am, my lord
I humbly say..........

prose 2013


Drink in the light and praise the cup of forever that spills out the threads of 
eternity.....

Waves are coming in, along with the light of the morning

Open to the vastness of this darkened sky

 

written by me in 1995




I stare at the paper
Knowing not what to say
The feelings once trapped
Now bring peace to this day

Besort or bewildered
Words searching to see
Answers in our tommorows
For how our today should be

But now as I ponder
To create a subject in verse
I realize that love
Has given my writing a curse

What I know I defeated
Moved right on ahead
What I feared, I challenged
Only thoughts fillin my head

But now at this moment
As I say goodnight
Love fills my heart
An unknown not to fight

And these moments so peaceful
Fright I have not
Nor desire to challenge
The love, within me, I got.

So read these few words
Not more be expressed
For I have forever
To give thee no less......

karen to child 2013




..I tell him that there is not any thought or story or feeling or words he can 
say to me that would create any wrath and he can show me those stories too..

He hears unconditional love, he hears that he can have feelings that aren't 
reacted to ....but received...
I love them so much and I can let them be free....reminds me of a poem by 
gibran....

They come thru me, they are arrows I release , I pull back my bow and as 
straight and as steady as I can hold it is as far as it will fly....

I need not hold on for me to have what fills me, in their release I am filled 
enough with the euphoric feeling of knowing its a bullseye
Without needing to check.......

love 2013


Love

Its all I want to share
Its all I know how to be
Anything else
Seems foreign
Extra, unneeded
Love
That's me

karen 2013


Night time routine is done...all settled in......... And I think....

When is it that time passes
And one need not define the
Experience of the hours belonging to it..

Not when we are children, for time is only measured in the moments and eternity 
belongs to the next morning...

Not when we are young, and finding ourselves, as time is attached to those 
dreams and desires which belong to the calling of independence, which we define 
by what we believe success is... And how can we know what our beliefs are, 
aren't they borrowed from worlds passed, or given to us from those long 
forgotten....

“God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM.”

Exodus 3:14

Makes me think of a song....I sing it loud and twirl .........


I am what I am 
I am my own special creation 
So come take a look 
Give me the hook 
Or the ovation 
It's my world 
That I want to have a little pride 
My world 
And it's not a place I have to hide in 
Life's not worth a dam 
Till I can say 
I am what I am 

I am what I am 
I don't want praise I don't want pity 
I bang my own drum 
Some think it's noise I think it's pretty 
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle 
Why not see things from a different angle 
Your life is a shame 
Till you can shout out I am what I am 


I am what I am 
And what I am needs no excuses 
I deal my own deck 
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces 
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit 
One life so it's time to open up your closet 
Life's not worth a dam till you can shout out 
I am what I am 

I am what I am

Lime green and white balloons
Still fly in the air from my front gates. Strange the science of it as I would 
expect helium to have deflated in the cold....

Snow frosts cars and quiet side streets that speak of weather too cold....

A passerbyer enlightens the hologens which I usually don't notice 
I notice everything now...

The hmm of the blowing of the air heat and the small click of the old iron 
radiators that weigh a ton...

I notice the sunlight 
Across the street
On the footstool of the church
And I want to stand in it and
Say, here I am....

And I want to skip, and smile and hold hands and I want to be naked and laughing 
and swimming.....
And I want to sled down cedar hill.
And ride my bike to my favorite spot and see the weeping willow....

karen 2013






Strange  timelessness 
Without measure of time
Doesn't seems to have a scale
To walk past a threash hole

Its destination unknown so there is no start or finish to see from or to

Its the path I walk straight
Its the love that draws me like
A aroma on a far away stove

Its the goodness in my heart
To heal to only smile and love

If I want in this, how can I believe anything can go wrong....

morning after mayan sweat lodge ceremony


Every morning , there are the rocks
Turtle cove , tulum, where the giant sea turtles lay their eggs.. Endless bare 
feet savor the joy of the silky sand ...causes them to face the holes, and 
points of the climb  to sunrise

And do u first notice the neighboring rock, where the pelicans rest , 
outstretched wings in the breeze, drying themselves from their last dive or 
opening up their chests to make room for the next one.......

And I take a breathe and I say "oh " for the longest time, as if saying it so 
much last night, has stretched my voice and it seems to go on forever

And I say it as I see the mans outstretched arms, at the top of the rock , his 
woman, directly infront of him, when their two shadows interlock without 
touching......

And I am their voice too......and the waves crash and I can feel the emotion of 
the world...

Dear lord,
Last night , face into the dirt, in the womb of mother earth I couldn't help  
feeling annointed as oil was pouring  over me
And I could help feeling the slap of the sage brush on my back as rememberance 
of the passion...
I receive your love and light and clarity in the darknest of nights,...you are 
there.....I am humble in my gratitude....it will never be enough....

prose 2013


“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”

Psalm 119

Synchronizity might have in it the wisdom of life, de ja vu...
All the time...

Holy words seem to unfold
Real and related....words of psalms that are connected.....

U can say
Sometimes I hear the bible come alive, in flashes, moment of time....

We live in the world we create for ourselves, and this is the one I create for 
me..

I'm on a float, and the sun is kissing me  thru the thick brush, and from a 
silent mind I think " because I said I say u by the fig true , you believe you 
will see greater things than these "

prose


Look not from the mind but from the soul
For the life that is coming is already
Before us
Waiting to open up the world
All the light - its giving u its energy now

  
Just look more closely with eyes that can see


(Based on celetine prophecy 'sharing energy of nature and giving energy to 
eachother without control)

song prayer 2013


Come to me oh weary traveler
Come to me with your distress
Come to me you heavy burdened
Come to me and find your rest
Do not fear my yoke is easy
Do not fear my burdens light
Do not fear the path before you
Do not run from from me in fright
Take my yoke and leave your troubles 
Take my yoke and come with me
Take my yoke I am besides you
Take and learn humanity

Rest in me o weary traveler
Rest in me and do not fear
Rest in me my heart is gentle
Rest and cast away your care....

morning prayer song 2013

Awake in the night

See right........

prayer


Dear lord
May I have meaningful  work and meaningful activity in my life . Let me be 
filled by the love of my  children and let me share that love with them and all 
children we encounter in this land and foreign lands...

I desire to wake up each morning and feel that I am used on behalf of something 
glorious, I want to feel, no matter what I do today, that I dispense blessing, 
love, forgiveness, kindness to all that I meet....help me to remember that you 
are the power and the glory. Help me to remember in every sunrise as I focus on 
heaven that everything else will take care of itself, help me to have faith to 
know the universe  will take care of me as I take care of it ...in this moment I 
am willing to put aside all small and worthless values, 
for I know they are all illusion and except as they are sent by u, they lead  me 
no where, thus shall I shine
And as I shine and sparkle 
I shall radiate a power in this world
Not of this world 
and people will not fail to notice, for I shall be as a star 
in darkened sky, I will radiate light always all day and I shall go to sleep 
knowing I have done  as I have come here to do, I shall be repaid by gratitude 
shining in the eyes of my brothers, please shine in my heart
Grab hold of my heart, stay in my heart and live with me always....
And that is my prayer 
That I work as ur angel
Here on earth
Til I return to ur likeness...



Amen

silly old wise tale


"Once upon a time there was a non conforming sparrow who decided not to fly 
south for the winter..however soon the weather turned so cold that he 
relunctantly started to fly south and ice started to form on his wings and he 
felt into a farm  pasture... A cow past by and crapped on the sparrow., the 
manure warmed him and defrosted his wings. Warm and happy he started to sing. 
Just then a large cat heard the chirping , the cat cleared away the manure and 
ate the bird...."

The moral of the story you ask ??

"Anyone  who shits on u is not necessarily your ememy"

"Anyone  who gets u out of the shit is not necessarily your friend"

"If ur warm and happy, in a pile of shit, keep ur mouth shut!"

With that, 
Happy new years
Heading out to Zamas on beach in tulum for a live band with my hamilton, astrid 
and gordon !!!

Windy Morning


Windy mexican coastline morning
I can feel the thickness of my
Bronzed skin, its only the wind I warm myself from....

U become the wind
And the blanket falls

Before sunrise
If you can count the stars
And know not which you've counted again.     
Or like the wind is telling everything
In nature
Let's sing the song of the sunrise
Ur grand palms swaying in excited glory awaiting to be fed

You will stand still in the light all day......like a soilder..til your 
battlecry for morning begins again with the wind....

-karen

new years

I want to catch the sunrise of this new years birth
The moon is still behind me
Shining on the earth

Everyone  is coming
Drawn to what I neither know
Souls..., we are one gathering on this rock
Waiting for the glorious blessing to be one with all........

We all laugh together in awaiting
Like a prize we are all about to receive
Come see what I see
