Within you

With all of you....stay true ...stay pure

Like the fall of a brand new snow

A crystal clear stream that sparkles on a bright summer day

Let your love flow like the river that opens to the sea...

Bathe yourself in sage--washing away all negativity

Lay a path of roses to walk upon in the sweetness of passion, peace and simplicity.

Open wide your arms--facing the breeze and all that comes and goes

Stay brave--with both feet firmly plant...

I am beautiful, and I am free

I am everything I choose to be

I am stronger then you will ever know

I am the One who is in control.

I am brave as I stand to bare the storms

I am free as I feel the wind through my hair

I am alive, as I survived the odds

I am one who is still here, having nothing to fear.

I am insecure and I shake, but I do not break

I am sad, and I cry, but I stake my claim

I am angry, and I...

My breath, a wave, invisible yet powerful. Deep within an invisble spirit is alive so I am told. I am my spirit just as I am my breath. I am a wave. I am alive. I survived. I breathe in the knowing, with the tender delicate air freely, and I let go without thought and yet with thoughts of grace and ease becoming one with the breeze--it awakens my senses to take a fuller deeper breath as it is very cold. It fills me up as if to inflate my body like a life support device that has been thrown ou...

As if I'd slept a thousand years under the frozen ground I wake to fresh soil and a new season. My old dying roots have begun to wither and break away, giving birth to the new. I, the red rose with all my thorns, and silk crimson petals and bright green foliage, rise and awaken through the sacred earth anticipating with joy my introduction to the sun and the wind, and to the hummingbirds and butterfly's to feed upon my nectar. Raindrops tenderly fall from the brillia...

Here I am like a flower baring the bitter thrashing wind

The rain beating down with no mercy upon my battered stem

With each drop I feel the sting penetrate deep within

But still I stand; here I am.

Lightening bolts shoot across the sky; thunder roars in anger

The clouds cast a deathly image; a mighty beast in hunger

My petals bow in shame and fear; most have lost their color

But still I stand; here I am.

You don't know me that well, but I am your higher self, your subconscious mind.

I know you're skeptical, afraid, but within you I dwell.

Past your thoughts and ideas. Past your fears, nightmares and scary images of your past.

Like a wave in an ocean, I radiate through every cell in your mind, and body.

If you look in your eyes you will see the sparkle of my existence....waiting patiently for you to notice me.....waiting with u...

What do you see when you look at me?

What do you think when you think of me?

Do you see the storms of destruction in my eyes?

Can you see past the reality that your own yesterdays define?

Why judge me, and why have so many turned their backs on me in this life?

All of these words and thoughts in my head

All of the storms I have weathered and continue to bare

All of my hopes and dreams I have hidden deep within me

Years of oppression and violatio...

It's a beautiful fall morning and the wind is slightly blowing

The colors are so bright and bold; the yellow's, the browns, the red's, the gold's

The morning sun is out to greet you and the heavenly sky is so blue

Not a cloud to be seen for miles...it's just your higher power and you.

You take a deep breath in and slowly let it go

Breathing in again...taking all this beauty in....

Everywhere you look there is freedom to be found

You stop...
