the dreams we dream they dream us too

‎Good life

Great life

Blessed life

Life full of choices to lay down

Loss- sac rife-  chance for a calling, an entering, a giving, a receiving..

Dreams dream us when they are life already happening,

Gifts are all around us- and I receive them in abundance

To be in the room with so much love, where cancer changed life's, where death actually was a happening that opens for so many, son, ex wife, what life would not have-

And then the prayer comes-

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

1 Corinthians 15:33

Prayer:

God of Grace, give us wisdom and discernment as we pick our friends.

And I realize how quick the moment desire takes over the chance to value someone and life them up.

I pray- sinner that I am- to be worthy for you to come under my roof 

I listen, in christ I pray for mercy not sacrifice-‎

There Is mothering in all of us today

Neil Diamond sings in my

Haly holy dream

And there is a cross on my heart

In my eye

I see and accept the fullness of this day

In spirit

The story of the divine mother

Who god saw favor in

Was touched, a gift from our lord

Worthy

She was not seeking such

I pray to not seek for anything so thy will be done-

Hallowed me your name

Hallow my self, be nonly you 

Make way for heaven on earthed

Lived in your glory and shared

With thy neighbor---

quotes rilke

Everything happens is a beginning and couldn't it be his beginning since again and again starting is so beautiful""""‎

‎

"If he is the most perfect one

Then what is less perfect should proceed him

‎

Shouldn't everything less perfect have come before him so he can create himself out of abundance and so that he can include everything in himself.....

Why don't u think of him as the one who is coming, who will soon arrive like a fruit whose leave we are.....

‎

And what meaning would we have if he who we are longing for has already existed.....‎

red rocks of sedona

 There they are

Enchanted into the mountain

Here I sit

Under the vineyard of greens

Spruce, pine, cactus 

enlighten me

So clear- so vast 

I can't look harder or see clearer-

I love my children just sooo deeply

I gift them these few days in attention and passion

For life

For love

For them....everlasting

‎

‎

Light and heart

It's all connected

As I seek the sunrise

As the path 

And on does the heart engage

It softens

Drops down and rises up like a ranbow 

Of colors in emotion, changes the darkest

Eyes to pools of love...and connection

Let me breathe in all of you

let me bask in the tears of this love

Beauty- it's not in the shrine, while I hike to the cross I find my heart when the sun hits me as I roll my hertz around the Starbucks pickup line---

And I weep love---

It's not always easy to be fully present--or even partly present. It's not always easy to extend warmth to ourselves. It's even less easy to let go of our habitual ways of being in the world and take a leap.

Love
Dancing depth of love
Passion breathing from my heart
I close my eyes
Sleep to lucid psalms

Hold me til sunrise

Kmg2015

I hike to sunrise 

But I can't see it

It's rising somewhere

I close my eyes 

Rilke - letters to a young poet-today I hear into the one written to Mr kappa in December, before christmas

He shares two thoughts, I can hear

One about solitary and one

About the coming, becoming, about making space and what we have already known surely is just a tiny bit of anything but preparation....

Already a full day of love has been shared and experienced- all that's left is to be in the motion, in the wave of it all and ride.....

Kmg2015

Sunset on on rocks
The balloons take us over
May I drift as easily to sleep
As I do into my lovin heart

Grateful for this moment- to individually take kids up and down the mountain - 

To Kochina Princess

The vortex of energy

To look for the sunrise

Build a red Rock mountain

And to be silent

What thoughts can I share can be higher then those I can hear....

From the little ones

From the mountains

From this beauty

I look to the way of beauty

And send u the blessin of this day!!!

What is grateful
This tear holds all the answers a I await it's coming

Every wave of the sea is free. Every river on earth proclaims its own liberty. The independent trees own nothing and are owned by no one and they lift up their leafy heads in peace and exultation. Never were two of them alike. Never were two leaves of the same tree identical. Never were two cells of the same leaf exactly the same. Because the trees grow the way they like: and all things do the things they do for the pleasure of God. Yet He does not need to find pleasure in His creation. But we use the word pleasure, and we say He is pleased, because in all these things His liberality and wisdom and mercy take their pleasure in His own infinite freedom.

God, without being touched by them, without being mixed in with His creatures, without descending Himself to the level of their joy, shares with them His secret, His innocence, His being, His mystery. That is what we mean by glory. That is what His creatures have to give Him: glory. But what is glory? God's glory is God in them without touching them. God in them without being touched by them. God giving them everything and retaining His own infinite separation. God being their Father without being related to them. They are related to Him, but never come near Him Who is within them. God's glory and God's shyness are one. His glory is to give them everything and to be in the midst of them as unknown.

There is healing in these red Rock mountains
Morning sunri in in desert - I hear the insecurities of teenagers--- I feel into my own

---

Our happiness seems to depend on how we respond to insecurities that besiege us. In the end, there are only two ways to deal with them: either we grasp for idols or we live by faith. When we grasp for idols, they turn on us and dominate our lives. To live by faith is to abandon ourselves to the Ultimate Reality which surrounds and penetrates us and which alone satisfies us.

Dean Brackley

Time stills

And there is just light

That will rise and fall

Always

Heat warms my body, sensations

Allow me to feel the difference of the soul-

I connect with the light and ultimate joy

Fills me 

More than any story I can spin

or eat

For the seeds I grow are watered in this light

As I eat the fruits of abundance-

Lord giveth me this day in you

Fill me with love- as radiant as the love

I will offer to all the guests tonight 

Clincing glasses and speeches, let me

Sneak you in‎, as all blessings point to your glory-

And under the stars tonight as I dine with women you have brought into my life- ‎let them too leave being touched and held...

Lord give me this evening, only what you can touch and fill inside of my as I offer my emptyest she'll to be filled....

Amen

"If I speak in tongues of angels

 If I am blessed with knowledge

Knowing all things

But have not love

I am but am empty she'll singing notes

No one can hear"

Kmg2015

How comforting

How grateful

To be touched by light? 

To be open, opening, aware?

No words cause they point against the

Humblessness needed to shine-

To receive

To feel love

To love enough onesself to drop ego-

Which doesn't mean look great-

And as Jesus said-

Beware of the leven of the pharacies- ‎

If this is true, it is a great comfort.  Even if not entirely true, it is somewhat of a comfort.  Since it is unverifiable, I can choose whether or not to believe it.  Why not choose to believe?  What do I have to lose?‎

Thank u for this day, this life this year this week

Thank u, grateful, words words

No words

Can skim the froth of emotion of grateful

For the sunrise over the golden gate this morning

For the dancing of light I was able to feel

Into my heart around the breakfast table

With friends in prayer

Thank you for the big Brown eyes of my son

Who finds his voice to share with me

I come out west full of that to give to everyone

and I receive instead more,

Love

To give to one another and receive from one another is the purpose of life. 

Grateful for all the love I have to share---

I see love coming from the trees-flowers-clouds-

Grateful‎

Amen‎

remember

There is no better protection than the refuge of unbounded sacred space, infinite awareness, and genuine warmth. Any external source of refuge is ultimately unreliable. Looking for refuge in money or material possessions cannot protect you from the pain of loss, because everything you have will be lost to you someday. No matter how good your health insurance is or how healthy your lifestyle, sooner or later you will suffer from injury or sickness; eventually you will die. Finding your perfect soul mate cannot protect you from someday losing your beloved through separation, divorce, or death.

With the inner refuge, you are not depending on someone or something outside you to make you feel secure. 

The first refuge, unbounded sacred space, is a true support because it is unchanging, indestructible, beyond birth and death, eternal. Whatever difficulties you face, the first refuge supports you in allowing your experiences and hosting them fully. 

The second inner refuge, the light of awareness, can never be diminished or extinguished by any cause or condition. Inner light is unceasing – forever luminous and clear. Even in the darkest of circumstances, you can trust that it is always there. 

You can also trust that the warmth of the third refuge is within you. It spontaneously arises from the union of openness and awareness.

There may be moments when you feel emotionally cold and dark, when it seems that all the light has gone from your life. But your experience and inner truth are not in sync – the light is always there. At these moments, access to the inner refuge may seem distant, but a sense of trust may bring you a glimmer of the inner refuge that can lead to a shift in the darkness of your experience. Trust is a necessary companion on the path. There is no situation so bad that you can't turn toward the three doors. As you become more familiar with entering and abiding in the inner refuge, you will begin to trust in its healing presence.

We all long for that inner connection, just as a lost child longs to reunite with his or her mother. When you connect with the inner refuge, you can rest in that space just as a child rests in his or her mother's loving arms, feeling protected, safe, secure, complete.

Drawing attention to stillness, silence, and spaciousness shifts your focus from feeding the insecurity of the ego to connecting with pure being. Anytime you identify with a sense of “I” – “I feel something”; “I have lost something”; “I am lost” – you are identifying with the wrong person. You are identifying with the ego, with your pain body, not with your true nature.

Being aware of the three doors is not work. In fact, the more effort you put into connecting with stillness, silence, and spaciousness, the more elusive the inner refuge seems. 

Connecting with the inner refuge is simply a matter of shifting your attention. 

If you are already still, be aware of stillness. When you are silent, hear the silence that is already there. Notice the spaciousness at the very center of your being. As you rest in awareness, you connect with your authentic self. The effort of seeking dissipates, and you are unbounded sacred space, infinite awareness, and genuine warmth – you are the inner refuge. The inner sacred space is so simple and close that if we search for it, we cannot find it. But it is always there for you, the source of all the elemental qualities you need. As the inner refuge, you are whole and complete in each moment.
