The Light

Morning rises inside of me and I take into myself the light that comes
from the shadows of the night.

More balanced from the stillness, of what all had to be between, I
accept the movement this day is.

Being in the center of realization is like being in the eye of a hurricane,
stillness then much wind.

One Day Younger

I sank into this morning instead of rising, I sank into the sweet light,
time, smells, soft love, and precious longing.

I listened to my time and it made it speak louder than a soft whisper.

I became one day younger instead of one day older.

Reclaiming my youth day by day.

Chance to All Things

Day light, a gifted space of resurrection that occurs on many levels.

Each day gives chance to all things and the view that it creates
changes from light to light.

I stand back inside myself so I can see the distance of what my days
have created. A pattern of strength and a willingness to bend and look
under the cup that sits on the step.

I turn it up, tea is poured, I sit on the step and dream awhile.

Picture of What My Time Is

Rain becoming a vehicle of space, I fall into my clear mind, each part
being washed by the rain keeping pace with my thoughts.

I speak to the thread of my dreams and they draw a picture of what my
time is really inside.

The fall of life becomes the spiral of expanding into the depth of
answer to the question we asked as the treasured innocence we are.

Day Becomes Us

Day becomes us and we take into ourselves the current of light we
need to have true vision.

Time moves through our lives like a comet and we take time to become
lit by its movement through us.

I sit in this morning current and begin to see a wide-scale shift that will
give the creative life room to breathe.

Renewal

Still dark and writing by candlelight held within the intention of this day.

Quietly this day begins to emerge and I am thankful once again the
Boat of Ra has navigated the duat into the first light of a new day.

This newness in itself is such a miracle and the whole concept of
renewal is beyond imagination.

The Grounded Time

Up within the nature of this day feeling the grounded time of what now
moves within my life and the world.

I take inside the full pattern of what time has become for me and open
to the new structure of what holds my world intact.

I peel away the solid that has tried to become my reality and allow
something new and less built to enter.

Sides of My Dreaming

I begin my early morning with the sides of my dreaming.

I draw my dream and enter the pattern and symbology of what
emerges.

In this I create an understanding of my feelings and a harmony to the
motion of my mind.

The sun comes through the leaves on the tree outside my window and
my day begins.

Out Into the Distance

Beginning to feel the curve and ready to swing out into the distance.

Morning glories bloom in the garden but it is harder to feel the garden
plan this first year.

I must spend more time within it and I realize what the walls of doors we
created before gave to the garden plan.

The walls create the distance and give frame to our sides.

This new garden needs doors as walls, so the portal to other worlds
can be felt within the Garden Plan.

Inside the Quiet

Inside the quiet moments of morning I await the essence of this day
and unfold into the presence of the shifting current of this time.

I note the need for allowance and silent space.

I notice the chatter and step deeper into myself, the smells, the sound
of life, and the feeling of space.

Up Within A Vision

Up within a vision for this time and a way of seeing that will be even
more compassionate than seen before.

I pour into my own sound and realize that my life is held within the
frame of my understanding that seeks always a pure sound of truth.

I travel this day with more ease, grace, and inspiration.

Curtained by the Memory  

Curtained by the memory of a pattern, I take into my hand a piece of
the memory and begin to see a pattern of an answer.

I ask what it means. I pull back the curtain and see the answer fulfilled.

My expression opens and I sit in trust once again.

Cool Morning Stillness

Up within the cool morning stillness listening to "The Fawn" while I
awaken slowly, feeling very deer-like. The gentleness of deer with
myself, and allow the sweet endurance of a steady climb to reach what
I need in this day.

Words that give me time.

Insight Takes Courage

Insight takes courage and the manner in which it comes takes patience.


Today I will ask for all three and I will allow myself the time it takes to
receive.

I will walk to the ocean, sit and write in our favorite café, and paint in
the Garden.

Room is what I need today, and I will do all this with Robert at my side,
because he is room.

Oracle of Compassion

Coming close to the deep magic held within life and the other worlds, I
take my dear friend, Charlotte, and healing crone deep into the  Kuan
Yin Oracle of Compassion.

I sculpted her sweet body, nested, last Thursday and it was a deep
journey that took the full day's length.

She died on Sunday the 13th of August, and yesterday she became
the 40th piece of the Oracle.

#40. Take into yourself the deep mystery of what you are and savour
the needs you have. -- Water runs through you.

There are 39 pieces to the Oracle and they were all given in a dream.
This is the first time someone has entered the oracle and become a
piece.

Charlotte loved this oracle and often called and had me move pieces
for her on the Oracle Board.

It is a large round table that sits in the center of our Sanga room. A
mandala is painted on it that I was given in a dream and there are 39
sculpted pieces that we all move on it when compassion is what we
need to hear.

Each piece has a written oracle message. This is still a deep mystery
to me, although I understand many levels and depths of this oracle.

It is very 3-D, with many rooms inside its pattern.

Robert & I hope to share this with all of you who wish to use it soon
online.

We as a family have moved with its nurturing reality for nine years.

I will move #5 for today:

#5. The body lifts the soul and spirit into the nirvana of consciousness
the mind can express. Let the body sit in its quiet space of need.--
Harvest.

By My Creativity

Up between the layers of the magical and mystical.

Piecing together a tapestry of change in the way I see myself after a
year of so much shift.

I can no longer see myself the way the world of art does, because it will
only make me feel unrecognized, but instead I will see myself as the
Commitment it takes to be an artist that is totally within the sound of
what is invoked by my creativity.

Sweet Silence

There is a sweet silence in this morning and I accept its emptiness.

Words try to fill it up, but they have no knowing of the time.

I will sit quiet into this silence and listen for wisdom.

Creates a Shift

Acceptance moves through my dreams and creates a shift.

The day unfolds with the corners open and the sides apparent.

I move up into its layers with more ease and the nature of myself sits
mores easily inside the strength of its complexity.

This day is for the dreaming and this dreaming will create a new world.

Taste

More awake to this day, but also stepping into it more gradually.

Life needs to be savoured, but sometimes I dive in so fast I forget to
taste.

Taste is a subtle sweet art form that cannot be done too rapidly to be
experienced fully.

I need to let this day roll on my tongue, sit in my mouth, and be
chewed with slowly.

Maybe through this I'll meet delight in a whole new way.

Openness

Inside the effort of this morning there is an awareness and I begin to
let go.

I let go of the effort and open to what calls for none. What an
openness  there is like a field of grass.

Between

Up between the asking and the answering, I realize that I do both at
the exact same time. I embody the answer I ask for.

I draw my dream and then realize I have drawn who I am and what I
really do and it is this picture that now becomes clear.

To see is one task, to know what one sees is another.

Pattern Simplified

Time taking in the space I need, I sit in the morning breeze looking out
my morning window.

This day is a mystery to me.

My vision seems obscure so my vision must be changing and
expanding.

In these times i know the process of the unseen is becoming seen and
the layers of environment will peel away to reveal the clear pattern
simplified to its most definite position.

Who We Are

Up within the rhythms of sleep. Becoming more aware of the posture I
hold within a day and learning to unfold more willingly into who I am.

I hold myself into this time with more allowing of my vulnerability.

Life holds us to the task of knowing more of who we are, even when
the knowing is hidden under the ledge of doubt.

Alchemy

Up inside the core of my own timing and the layers of expression begin
to surround me.

A new body of work emerges on many levels and I feel the building
heat of this day a part of this timing.

Alchemy, a way of change.

Vision Is Protected

I fold mt heart into this day.

The air is more still, as if it is holding its breath.

The layers of the leaves wrap around my view, so that my vision is
protected, even as the world swiftly moves in its motion to where.

Acceptance

Inside the window of time is thought that sits and waits for our
acceptance.

I am up in the night sorting through what always seems to need sorting.
