poems for the renaissance
An ancient understanding
By Rosa Ivy
Love is an endless
drop into the blackness of mystery
We keep grabbing
onto definitions trying to hold something vastly expansive and all too
consuming
We label, categorize
but even the Sufi poets with profound and deep meditation aren’t close to the
definition because it’s all encompassing
The word hate
manifests itself out of love in the polarization when human decides to exist
separate from soul in a hero’s journey to get back to soul
Soul is the
closest thought we can gather that mimics love and yet our closeness with soul
isn’t clear and sincere because of our mental disturbance
Traumas of
fragmented people with broken consciousness and malnourished behaviors are
obstructions to the flow of universal energy
In our interesting
times, we are guided to unblock those memories, ancestral stuff and collective
junk and rebuild our inner temple from the destruction of our conscious choice
to break down Babylon
Nature for the
human is the brightest red rose bursting through the cracks in cement
Our jungle of
cement might replace our jungles that are lungs to the planet if we don’t make
space for nature in our inner landscape to flourish
Babylon decides
for us technology as the evolutionary necessity
Gaia decides for
us spiritual maturity as the absolute evolutionary necessity
They are one and
the same but when they co-exist as rivals, opponents, there is major mistakes
in human development
Love is the only
way the two connect and co-exist as one source of energy
Nature based
technology is like the breath working with the brain and the brain working with
arms and legs
We already have a
perfect technology
The human body is
a tool like pyramids are tools for channeling extraordinary energy of the Earth
Timelines converge
and alchemize with love
Past patterns
revolutionize through love
Stubborn thought
forms reinvent themselves because of love
There is a ongoing
Renaissance in gratitude for love
The absence of
love stiffens, tightens and holds us angry, raging at the blackness we must
continue to free fall into
Anger spreads into
victimization, resentment, bitterness and hate
It’s a feeling of
being unsafe that makes us question if we are loved
So many people
feel unsafe because most of us are displaced, forced to remove our creative
reality in order to survive in a Babylon world
It’s the
meditation we yearn for most and yet we’re scared to stop grabbing onto
something as we fall into the blackness of mystery
On the other side
of the mystery’s journey is an opening into elsewhere
That elsewhere
could be more of the same of what we think we are or a field of wild herbs
showing us how to take a seed of something so soulful and grow it
Only things of
love truly blossom
The seeds of hate
do grow and manifest proudly into our world but they aren’t honest to Gaia
14 generations of
a powerful hatred is strong with deep, long and thick roots but no matter how
long it prevails it must change through nature and change through nature is a
direct link to love
Consciousness
evolves because love is between death and life, that majestic unknown that goes
beyond hate and love
It’s just
compassion and eternal grace in the unfolding of our karmic imprints destined
to improve, refine, cleanse, decompose and recycle back into a majestic and
masterful mystery like how sacred geometry just is a consistent harmony when
when we humans aren’t
How to Trust
yourself
By Rosa Ivy
Silence in the
spaces in-between train us to caliber to nature
In a world of
constant disturbance, interference and pressure, our brain waves calibrate
arrhythmically to the symphony of creative alchemy within our bodies
Getting back to
the silence is honoring the sacred passage through a thought as we delegate and
get honest with ourselves
Which thoughts are
just distorted realities and which thoughts are nature’s refinement
Responsibility for
our everything is a composer learning how to write and rewrite music notes for
a wide range of instruments
We take on our
parents, grandparents and how we’re raised but that’s just a train ride that
brought us here
Sometimes we stay
with the ones who carried us here and sometimes we don’t
We’ll know our
evolutionary mates and Renaissance partners by the exuberant challenge that develops
our authentic reality
This is tribe and
we are born with a determination and eagerness to gather them to us out of the
brokenness of our fragmented consciousness
Trust is earned
and to earn trust in ourself is to fearlessly love ourselves in the shadow of
our mistakes and negativity turning us against ourselves and in the sun of our
garden
We become the
warrior in the shadow of our fears, phobias, traumas and perversions or the
victim
Warrior in the
garden is the harmony we pursue in the vigorous training earth provides
Earth is a school
and the lessons are everywhere showing us the frameworks to our own mind
Intuition is what
we receive when we start to reclaim our self worth and self esteem
It’s like taking
an algebra test
We fail, fail
again, fail another time and discover what works for us and what doesn’t work
for us in the process of progress
Belittlement,
discouragement and worldly distorted realities dumping into your identity wants
us to be overly critical
In the decision to
mimic nature we find our breakthrough
We find that
polarities and duality that keeps us at odds doesn’t have to be our fragmented
self
We simply need to
learn how to be a composer and write lower versions of ourselves and higher
versions of ourselves into a dynamic symphony that may sound like a friction
but it’s melodically excellent
Je te laisserai
des mot by Patrick Watson Inspired poem by Rosa Ivy
There is a part of
us that wants to love deeper, to open our heart fuller and experience the total
release of our fears but we’re birds in a cage and don’t realize it
We’re comfortable
hiding our love away from world
We conform our
uniqueness to be loved by the world and a numbness takes over
Authentic,
sincere, gentle and free presents itself as a warrior training
For some reason,
the indigenous part of us is the most belittled, discouraged and fragmented
because our need to control everything
In the morning I
listen to all types of birds call to the wild
Studies have shown
that vibration and frequency that of birds that of you and I can increase
growth in plants and support good health in physicality
It’s our
spirituality that we’re desensitized to like an orca born in captivity doesn’t
know echolocation, how to form pod or hunt but genetics tells orca that there
is more
We search for that
more, something on the other side of our self made mental confinement where
doctrine and belief makes us think we’re surviving but our unique love,
indigenous heart is left unrealized
We settle into a
world already made up for us and lose our imagination and sense of pure wonder
It is the kindred
sense of things like when Jim Carey leaps into the sidewalk with wide smile,
crazy eyes and funky movements that reminds us of something
Each wolf has
their own sound
The different
howling sounds join together in a symphony of signature pitches
What is our unique
signature in our wild expressions?
What does our
personal Renaissance look like when we devote ourselves to it?
Fear is a doorway
beyond fear with a journey like the scarecrow, tin man and lion
We face many
charlatans and much uncertainty but learn it’s better to face fear then let
fear take away the play of learning something new
We find love is an
act of learning our way through shadows to receive the sun through the shifting
of rain
Water being our
closeness to Pacha Mama, an indigenous root that weaves through all like
consciousness knows darkness of deep space connecting planets to distant
planets
Yearning
By Rosa Ivy
We search for love
and don’t find it
We ask ourselves,
“Is something wrong with me? Why can’t I connect with someone on a deeper
level?”
It’s easier to be
reserved and stay close to our independence afraid to lose ourselves in the all
consuming connection of another
It’s like being in
deep ocean
It’s terrifying
and freeing at the same time
There are
creatures all around us that we can’t see and some are harmful to us and others
friendly
You feel something
swipe our body
Is it a dolphin or
shark?
In deep ocean it’s
never clear
Fears are like
that
When we emerge
with someone it takes great maturity and inner strength
It’s like lavender
agreeing to grow with cucumbers
They are so
different and yet find themselves wanting to collaborate
We know the
connection is good when we feel nourished like how moss and clover seem to work
good together
It’s mutually
beneficial allowing a greater radiance
We think we know
our potential and excel greatly on our own then we meet a special person and
suddenly our creative fire turns blue like a star in the beginning of its birth
when it’s brightest and hottest
Renaissance
partner amplifies our inner light and takes us to deeper depths, depths we
could not go alone
It’s like swimming
the deep ocean
It’s easier when
you have a dear friend
It’s makes it more
exciting to discuss your feelings and share unique experience of deep ocean
Surfing is always
a group effort and profound friendship because as smart as our brain is it
needs perspective different from our own to truly see the gorgeous reality of
life
Sometimes we
become too negative and need a positive perspective
Sometimes we’re
too this or that and need a friction to keep us neutral, balanced in identity
of self and innovation sparked from unique conversation
Finding a
Renaissance partner is first discovering the extraordinary beauty of our own
creative potential and pursing that wholeheartedly, fearlessly
Then, we attract
not just people who mirror our parents, childhood memories and society
programming but people who go beyond this lifetime of shaping
That meet us at
the place where we are our past and yet so much more
We are the
uniqueness of spiritual innovation that alters our physicality for the better
making us a Renaissance of unique choices and decisions that support our mind
stream, the only thing we take with us when it’s all said and done
Renaissance
partner teaches us as we teach them how valuable and worthy we are to be our authentic
self without shame and fear
We face each other
with courage and radical honesty that is just and kind
We honor the
diversity and friction for their is no creation without explosive moments of
power and love coming together in a Big Bang
We yearn for the
deep ocean and yet we first must learn how to swim
We need to be a
good swimmer or we’ll cling to the shallows out of comfort
Until we’re
comfortable enough we’ll keep practicing romance, connection and attraction
with ourselves and another until the day comes when we have the chance to know
Renaissance of a profound love that takes us beyond our human identity and
shows us our spiritual heart in the strength of relating to someone’s soul,
which is the deepest depths
The soul takes us
right to the Pacific Ocean where volcanos of deep earth created the first
minerals to the first celestial contact with planet earth
It’s risky to want
to shine
By Rosa Ivy
We are asked to
take certain risks for growth
It’s risky opening
up as a red rose does to the elements
There is a chance
of ruin but persistence of nature keeps the red rose continuous
Sometimes we hold
back our uniqueness because we’re afraid to be seen
It’s interesting
how the female peacock is all brown and the male is luminous color
She is hidden for
protection
He is bright for
attraction
Phases of us go
through self preservation and self illumination
The drama of chaos
keeps us on our toes
Distraction and
focus are the pathways
Distraction leads
us to confusion
Focus takes us to
intention, introspection and determination
We wonder if we’re
go enough constantly in distraction
We wonder if we’re
sincere to our truest desires when we’re focused
We ping pong from
distraction and focus because life is a thrill and it’s wildly playful and
critical
We find our center
in our grounded and sensible need for discernment
Life is much more
vibrant, exciting and joyous when we’re discerning
We aren’t meant to
take on the world
There will always
be friction, polarity to keep us evolving in endless darkness and expansive
light
It’s the in
between the dark and light where we are
Earth has darkness
all around and a pint of light with a gravitational pull keeping earth from
destructively spinning out into endless dark
The black hole in
the center of our galaxy is very destructive, sucking in energy and spitting it
out elsewhere in the universe and yet it’s massive gravity keeps the galaxy in
tact
It’s risky having
a black hole in the center of our galaxy constantly consuming and destroying
planets and yet it is our remedy
Writing our story
is a fearless expression in a world where sometimes criticism seems to override
playfulness
We can get lost in
the dump yard of critics trying to distract us from our perfectly imperfect
innovation
We’re all like the
scarecrow, tin man and lion searching for something missing
Either we want
intelligence through education for achievement, a heart for compassion, healing
and true love or courage to face the troubling adversities with strength
We take the yellow
brick road for the thrill of change and possible growth
Though charlatans
disguised as professors shock our innocence into maturity, we understand
discernment is the weaving of intellect, heart and power
Stamina on the
yellow brick road is the greatest challenge
Do we have the
resilience, commitment and dedication to keep going?
Or does the black
hole of life keep us away from our playful heart?
“To exist is to
survive unfair choices,” Brit Marling
Risks bring a tilt
to our orbit that shakes our ground and repositions us
Its uncomfortable
and brings things down like a recking ball
But if we’re
confident enough we’ll find an ecstatic vision within the unknown parts of us
guiding us into new adventures like when scarecrow met tin man met lion
It’s a sweet
friendship that matters
The black hole
isn’t as bad as it appears when we’re connected to something bigger than that,
cosmic cruising friends
Where is the heart
beyond a physical organ
By Rosa Ivy
How do we know if
our heart speaks rhythms or rhymes?
I think its
language is rhythms
Before rhymes to
intellectualize, there is just pulsation, vibration and a intuitive sense
We feel our way
through change like how wild animals can sense a tsunami coming and will leave
the area all at once without communicating to each other
They just feel the
rhythm of earth and gain insight
Our heart sends
electromagnetic pulses throughout our body and yet many of us can’t tap in
On a biological
level, our body knows traumas interference, emotional stress disturbance and
toxic patterns wiring our heart arrhythmic
Biology tells us
to change but we can’t sense it’s rhythm of communication
In a blues room, a
musician glances at another letting them know a change is coming
A musician can
sense the rhythm is about to change and everyone just shifts with the change in
synch without verbal communication
We wrestle with
our heart a lot because our ego’s need for control
We assume safety
is how much we can control the outcome when really it’s subtlety that gives us
the most safety because we’re able to feel what’s needed and shift towards it
like how trees change reposition themselves to get more sunlight
A forest isn’t
desperately chasing the sun or aggressively attacking the sun
The forest simply
knows it will reach the sun if it keeps nourishing itself
Trees know
protection in the ability to charge themselves with chemicals that convert into
energy that sting off the dysfunctions trying to ruin their creation
Rhythm is the
foundation to our rhyme and openness that allows new sounds to reach us from
the unknown parts of our beautiful brain
Telepathy is a
rhythm and it’s the first language we learn
A mother can sense
her baby crying even when her baby is far away
There is an
invisible thread that connects us all like keys to a piano appear separate when
we just play one key over and over and then we learn to play many at once and
feel the conversation between them
It’s subtlety of
the rhythmic heart that is a forgotten language to some and yet to composers of
art, music and movement recognize it as a core language to refining rhythms
into different compositions
That’s how Ray
Charles could just play the piano blind
He knew it by
heart because that’s how much he devoted himself to it
His sense of
rhythms didn’t need eyes or even ears
As long as he had
a heart he could follow its rhythm into an ecstatic expression
We ignore the
rhythmic heart because we think rhymes will give us excellence
Rhymes try to
conceptualize rhythms
When I think about
Dr. Seuss’ creative impact there is an encouraging flow that teaches me how to
read the rhythms of my own electromagnetic heart continuously moving like a
blues room appears to go on and on in the subtle sense of connecting vibratory
fields
Maturing Love
By Rosa Ivy
Sometimes it’s
better to wait than settle
In our longing for
intimacy, we mesh with others for a sense of depth
What we really
want is to emerge but our life isn’t ready
Something holds us
to the isolation, loneliness for growth, comfort and healing
Introspection,
self discovery and manifestation of our dreams becomes our intimacy
We reach an age
when meshing just doesn’t satisfy our desire for intimacy
We get clear about
our worth in the alone time, inner exploration
Our thoughts flow
in a clarity reality because we begin to trust the process
Sometimes it’s
difficult to connect heart to heart in a televised world where emojis
replace self expression and attention
spans are too anxious to enjoy the silence of holding hands walking the beach
Our head gets so
loud and our heart’s rhythm gets consumed by the bombarding criticism of our
constant consumption of stuff to fill in the emptiness of our thoughts
We think emptiness
is a void that must be filled with things, stuff and people when really it’s a
space where new creative ideas enter
We’ll never
receive the intuitive direction without that space of emptiness
Does love at first
sight exist?
It does if we’re
attentive enough to our own heart and follow its expansion without hesitation
but many times the ego won’t allow such magic to happen
Ego criticizes the
mystical feeling and tells us that nobody can be trusted because everybody is a
conditional love
That inner voice
can consume our thoughts replacing discernment with judgment
The ego wants to
nitpick what the heart feels, compartmentalize it thinking an intuitive feeling
isn’t enough to trust the urge to move forward
In the waiting for
the right kinds of connections, we develop a joy for inner strength and
confidence in our self worth
We fail immensely
and experience much disappointment but it’s a kind of heartfelt maturing that
doesn’t lock us away for decades from our playful heart
It’s a kind of heartfelt
maturing that brings us closer to what we truly want and need and what’s
important for us to learn
We get closer to
our true self in the loneliness that reaches for intimacy in friends that
nurture our worth and inspire our creative choices
Eventually, there
is divine timing, a passionate knowing that we’ve felt many times and since
we’ve honored it many times, give us the growth we need to truly love ourselves
and receive the love to our heartfelt maturity
Heartfelt maturity
comes from trusting the process fearlessly through all failures, heartbreaks
and learn every lesson as if earth is a school taking us somewhere so magical
it needs a mature heart to get to
Express
By Rosa Ivy
Self expression is
a wild unknown adventure
It’s risky and
uncertain demanding of us to trust the magic of growth, expansion and play
We’re hesitation,
reserved and fearful to express our gorgeous artistry because the inner critic
disguised as practicality assumes to be loved is to be accepted by the world
but the world is too ecstatic to cling to the stoic, the unmoved and unevovled
It thrives off of
the luminous heart movement of our spritely intellect
Sometimes we
forget to breathe deeply and allow brain waves to sharpen our view
The choppy and
restless intellect enters our heart turning our heartbeat arrhythmic by our own
unprocessed fears
If we don’t check
those fears, they turn our breath even shallower and our brain waves become a
neurotic nuance that seems functional until our physicality becomes fatigued by
those dead energy thoughts stuck in the anti-flow
We can’t control
how and when our lives will shift it’s flow or begin a new ebb
We just allow the
creative intimacy take over our potential
Many people don’t
express their organic wonder because we’re told the childlike amazement must
end for our dignified reality to begin but only the flexibility and swiftness
of imaginative intellect of childlike wonder can invent a reality for the adult
that is more than stoic, stagnant and unevolved disguised as perfect progress/satisfying
control
Self expression is
an absence of control when the ego feels safe in the personal power of our self
worth
We aren’t looking
for approval
We’re looking for
creative progress and luminous perspective
The goal is
becoming the most beautiful artistry the human body and mind has experienced
thus far
To take the
worldly whoa and shame, pain and confusion and catapult it into a joyous
understanding
A blues room was a
way for African Americans to not only escape the terrors of racism but to
create their own sacred space to take off the ego of worldly beliefs and enter
a realm of human connectivity where creativity is beyond color, gender and race
There is just
universal rhythms we know deeply in the womb of the mother and when we die and
must follow subtle light and dynamic rhythms on our way out of this physical
version of ourselves
Blues is a place
for sharing, caring and inclusion where instruments become amplifiers of the
heart and the heart gets to evolve outside the cage of worldly beliefs
It’s like a bird
being given a moment outside of the cage to fly and returns because it’s all it
knows and it isn’t confident enough yet to leave and never return
Blues is a sublime
creative expression training the captured spiritual identity now decided by the
world how to evolve its self and fly without the need to return to the cage but
soaring is a lineage, a group effort
It takes genetics
of the eagle that instills in a baby eagle the knowledge of flight
When your
expression has been conditioned to doubt and fear it’s easier to just flow with
the comforts of what is common
Only the wild unknown
knows possibilities beyond the ingrained, well established genetic structure of
our potential
It’s the soulful
enthusiasm to be something more that evolves our expression and encourages
creative adventure
Such an inner
movement of intellect gets the heart back on track with a rhythmic universe and
evokes an artistry of childlike brain chemistry
Pressure to Evolve
By Rosa Ivy
Happiness is
sensational, a kind of thrill that sensitizes the maverick potential gleaming
inside the cave of our majestic mystery
We start off in
Plato’s cave with shadows on the walls and a mindless projection and assumption
given to us by the puppet masters we cannot see but know very well for they
potentiate us into the world through their lens
Then, we start to
feel something more than mental disarray
Some of us cling
to the concepts and conventions instilled in us by previous ages of human
existence transferred from parent to kid
Others of us
notice the dullness of our distorted realities and adventure further into the
cave beyond our comforts for some kind of sensation to jump start the
electromagnetic heart
We discover
crystal caverns and within them we encounter gems and jewels, diamonds and gold
We realize a gleam
to darkness and return back to Plato’s cave to gather some fire for an
intuitive deep exploration somewhere else
The fire of our
determination, sense of divine protection and alchemical breath leads us
through tunnels, avenues until we find the surface with gorgeous sunlight and
ocean waves at distances shaping cliff with rolling green hills
Dullness of our
senses comes from the shutdown of emotion, trauma lodged in our breath and
suffering fragmenting our thoughts into a mess of confusion
Enthusiasm gives
us a drive for sensational clarity that harmonizes our body, breath and aligns
our potential with a creative choice
It’s a creative
choice that first encounters the science and enchantment of heat, pressure
turning coal into diamond
It’s a creative
choice that realizes the mind can manifest its self in the image of what’s
around us and/or what’s within us
Therefore, we
aren’t bound to the concepts and conventions put into us
We are renovating
them for the thrill of happiness
Determined
By Rosa Ivy
Green of
determination keeps us innovative and adaptable
Striving for
excellence is imbedded in our creative stature
Nature is exciting
and challenging
It demands
strength and requires gentleness
If we’re too tough
nothing moves
We need thick skin
like the bison in a blizzard but if our coat is too heavy we’re a sheep that
can barely walk weighted by it’s dense coat
We need gentleness
like a Raven soaring
There is lightness
and steadiness that is slow, gradual and airy
We are searching
for many things within ourselves like balance, stability, worth, enthusiasm,
courage and unconditional love
We go out into the
world to amplify our native talents through friendships of maverick destiny
Everything is a
leap of faith and the more in tune we are with ourselves the more sincere our
giving is
Great impact comes
from great trust in the alchemical process of our growing beauty
The more we try to
control the more weighted, dense and distracted we become
Renaissance of the
world is captured in the deepening of breath in a awe striking moment of seeing
our reality as a product of our mind and aligning our mind with the clear
reality that originates from our heart
There is just
nature and harmony of the universe training it
Polarity of
suffering seeps in and we sometimes allow it’s heavy density saturate our
potential but green of determination keeps us resilient long enough for deep
breathing to return and reset the mind back on track with its zero point of
neutrality of “just keep going”
Phoenix Heart
By Rosa Ivy
We wait patiently
for what’s brilliant and spend our time following the urge to be wildly
creative
Being a dreamer is
a rebellious act of doing something that isn’t typical or common
We search for love
and forget about cultivating our truest dreams trying to fit into the world
Instead of
aligning with our own creative potential, we settle for the idea that what we
want precisely doesn’t exist and that we must compromise
“Nobody will truly
understand me so I’ll dumb myself down”
Some of us can’t
shake the idea that creative perfection is real in love and intellect
It isn’t perfect
in the sense of flawless and accurate always
It’s a kind of
crazy art studio with years of abstract and bizarre thinking with colorfully
deep and closest to nature simple gestures of mixed media that matures the
longing to belong
Everything has a
frequency and like frequency
That’s why certain
souls naturally flock to each other
The goal is to
discover that organic frequency within the body and mind, the essence that goes
beyond beliefs, conditioning from parents and society’s mark on our self
concept
Some people
attract a partner who is somewhat or not at all in synch with their unique
configuration of energy because we aren’t allowing the imagination to teach us
the potential of our playful nature
We shutdown, block
and sabotage because of judgment and fear that our inner frequency beneath the
surface can’t get us what we want
That inner
frequency is the key to attracting the partner to our essence and not just ego
Lessons upon
lessons force us to grow and see our fears and imbalances
The journey is
perfectly imperfect with storms that bring deep tears and droughts that keep
emotions bottled up
We never know if
we’re doing right by someone ignoring our own heart’s playful nature
It’s that playful
nature in us that cultivates a frequency for a kind of love that gets us to
evolve to be enthusiastically ambitious towards sharing our phoenix heart
It’s only hard
when the mind becomes hard
By Rosa Ivy
How do you believe
in yourself when no one does
In a world where
Instagram follows determine a person’s value, it’s easy to down play one’s own
creativity comparing themselves to another
J K Rowling, an
amazing visionary and creative thinker. birthed Wizarding World of Harry Potter
during a phase of immense personal struggle, financial difficulty and
depression that comes when weight of adversity seems too heavy
Over a dozen
publishing companies rejected her manuscript for the Philosopher’s Stone (book
1) because her work didn’t fit into the current times
There are many
stories of something beautiful being birthed in thick mud of struggle, stress
and difficulties
Pressure turns
coal into diamond
Alchemy is a
fierce pressure and those who have endured its Phoenix flame have a unique
brain
Something happens
to the brain when it’s consistently practiced determination, resilience and
dedication to creative excellence
Creativity begins
to emerge from the mud like a diamond
Those things worth
a lot usually underwent an intense character development process that is
extremely exhausting and yet totally liberating
The journey of the
scarecrow, tin man and lion is fairy like in its enchantment and yet not for
the faint of heart
It takes devotion
to creative brilliance that kept the scarecrow, tin man and lion from not
giving up and settling for the old way of existing that is comfortable and not
exuberantly extraordinary
What makes the
yellow brick road worth while isn’t meeting the Oz but finding like minded
people who awaken greater potential
In truth, it was
the scarecrow that gave tin man heart, tin man that gave scarecrow brains and
Dorthy that gave lion courage
The yellow brick
road was simply a divine intervention, a visionary quest, that brought them all
together
The creative
achievement would have never been met without leaps of faith, confidence and
devotion to one’s own artistry
Pressure is the
universe trying to make something profoundly radiant with bright, luminous and
exuberant colors like when being in an awe striking cave of crystals, diamond
and gold and realizing alchemy is a Phoenix
Always Young
By Rosa Ivy
Life is full of
maverick movements
Some can’t ride
the bucking unknown
The task appears
too daunting, life shattering and ecstatically overwhelming
Intimacy is raw
and vulnerable
We embark upon
movements of retrograde, reinvention and restoration to keep the youthful spark
from dwindling into a past tense
There is something
magical about youth
We are constantly
learning new things like how to read, write, math, science, music
We’re outgrowing
our shoes, cloths and sense of fashion continuous, weekly, daily
We’re not so
afraid of heights of depths
The idea of
climbing a tree or scuba diving doesn’t seem that bad
Exuberantly
fearless, we aren’t quite stunned by heartbreak and betrayal
The beast of
disappointment, rejection and abandonment knocks our heart out of its rhythmic
alignment and forces us to be hyper practical
We start to take
on a fixed model and cling to belief systems to keep us safe
Our spiritual
identity gets lost in the chatter of worldly ideologies and social norms
We begin to doubt
our spiritual calling, magical gifts and settle for the comforts of fitting
into the world
Something about
youth has no mold, cast for us to lay on top of ourselves and let it shape us
into the common connection
When I was young I
used to go out into the woods and pretend I was Pocahontas with my friend Lele
She pretended she
was princess Ka’iulani
We spent hours in
the woods doing nothing and yet our imagination brought something to life
The woods are a
lot more alive in youth when practicality and spirituality aren’t too separate
things and religion is the divider
It is instinct,
intuition and sense of wonder that made the woods a vibrant sensory experience
What the adult
needs to keep creativity creatively exuberant is youth not of chronology but of
essence
Youth is biology
not chronology and we get to maintain youth through our passionate connection
with our brain and body
That youthful
glandular secretion, rich blood, innovative brain organization and sensitivity
isn’t meant to decrease with age
Its meant to
evolve and experience different eras of its honey
Like in the
beginning, middle and end of honey making bee hive
It’s sweet,
sweeter, sweetest in all the phases of its process of progress
The bitterness
isn’t meant to harm us but detoxify us, cleanse and purify the stuff in our
genetics, brain given to us from society and pave way for something original to
emerge
Follow the
skipping, twirling and soaring motion of our walking and discover a spiritual
identity that is more creative than any worldly construct could offer and yet
the spirit of the world knows well our potential if only we’d trust the
youthful stance on a constant need to evolve, change, reinvent and realign with
our human essence
Humans aren’t
robots
Humans are
sensitive sensory system for the exuberant creative alchemical feeling to
inspire thoughts into beautiful expressions
Never Stop Trying.
Be Resilient. see yourself as the bison in the blizzard. Adapt. Try once more.
By Rosa Ivy
Try and try again
There is something
enchanting that occurs when passion and higher intelligence evolve creativity
through a ruthless devotion to the practice of self improvement
In the billion
dollar health and wellness industry, it’s clear that people want depth, a kind
of spiritual identity that is closer to creative alchemy then dogmatic
regurgitation
A shift in the
planetary alignment, moves human design out of Pisces into Aquarius
The approximate
26,000 years planetary procession with equinoxes and solstices evolving our
intelligence deeper, longer, further through destruction and reinvention, we
are challenged by the necessity of the times
We all yearn to
feel safe and comfortable
And yet in these
times of inner reset where we’re all guided to reparent, restructure and
reimagine ourselves from a perspective of the soul outside the confinement of
prejudice disguised as diplomatic order
We need courage to
voyage the inner landscape of our being to excavate something unique and
beautiful buried under our traumas and insecurities
There is an innovative, creative and potentiated power waiting to take root in the
frameworks of our shifting human design if only we allow the intuitive
component to our cohesion be more than a mirror of the current state of the
world or past states but something within the zero point range where our lows
and highs neutralize and unveil a subtle light of inspiration that has the
potential to root and grow into a brilliant stream of consciousness that of Mr.
Rogers, Dr. Seuss, J K Rowling, Nicolas Sparks, Carl Yung, Steven Hawkins,
Allan Watts, Nikola Tesla, Guru Jagat, Maya Angelo…
That soul’s spark
is there
It just needs us
to try and try again
Growing Younger
By Rosa Ivy
Growth is
spontaneous and thrilling
It demands our
full attention and participation
It’s playful,
uncertain and wildly intuitive
There is something
youthful, exuberant and fun loving about growing in dreamy and artistic ways
We come to earth
for the adventure of creative innovation to challenge our brain to be more
colorful, brilliant and luminous like northern lights, mandalas and funky dance
moves
We can cling to
our nervousness and insecurities for far too long and mis-take the opportunity
for growth stagnating ourselves
We can’t stop the
river, rain or ocean from transforming its shape
We can try and
exhaust ourselves
There is only zero
point
Plus ten and minus
ten are equal in the zero point scale
Life is a triangle
with three points of magnetism-sleeping, dreaming and waking
We are shifting
constantly through them like a ping pong and then we center ourselves and
discover the yoga Nidra where sleeping, dreaming and waking emerge in this
extraordinary creative flow of joyful effort
We can take on the
stuff of the world
We can take on the
stuff of our childhood
We can take on the
essence of our soul
We’re a portal
like a spider web weaving our physical and spiritual patterns into something
Let’s make that
something awe strikingly beautiful
Let’s course
through that center, zero point and creatively refine and redefine our
potential until our potential is so fantastically fun loving our heart and
brain emerge in this artistic therapy that gives us a powerful, radiant, strong
and clear vibration
Creative Vision
By Rosa Ivy
Sometimes we get
clouded by toxicity of the world
It’s gravity pulls
us in and deletes our life force
That’s why
building a strong vibration of self love keeps our inner gravity stronger than
the dysfunctional patterns going on around us
In a world where
attention is the new currency
People are trying
to gain an audience rather than striving to gain a spiritual identity
We become neurotic
and mentally fragmented when we value cheap and quick ways of obtaining virtual
success over stabilizing our self worth and knowledge of self
Concerts with
millions of cellphone screens recording all at once hoping to capture the perfect
moment steals the moment
Creativity doesn’t
exist in virtual
We won’t find our
worth there
It is in the
spiritual identity that gives us quality of experience over quantity of virtual
likes
“The strongest
vibration wins,” Guru Jagat
The more attention
we give to our inner landscape of our being the more amplified our authentic
vibration becomes
We are comprised
of many different vibrations
It’s the cohesion
within friction that prevents dysfunction from breaking our mind’s connectivity
Our inner
landscape is a neutralizing effort that harmonizes the array of stuff in us
from the world, from our childhood and form the great beyond
It’s the heart
center that gives us a vibration within the electromagnetic bio-photon emission
that is unique, one of a kind and special to our configuration of light, sound
and energy
Like mitochondria
given to us from our mother
It transforms
chemicals into light
And like gamma
waves Tibetan monks spend decades developing
There is a
vibration that is just ours, not connected to our parents or what’s going on in
this world
It’s energy may
mimic our parents and the world at first until we go inside the inner landscape
and connect our heart’s light, sound, energy expansion and deep contraction to
our creative vision
Then, everything
beginnings to calibrate to our creative vision but it takes strength to hold
that creative vision long enough for the change to happen
Lovier Brain
By Rosa Ivy
Loving ourselves
is a deep dive into fearless living
First, we must
learn the mind to discover what is us and what is regurgitated recitation
The science of
meditation teaches us that majority of our thoughts are recycled and that our
neurological patterns create the framework for identity of self
Carl Yung teaches
us that the hero’s journey is a visionary quest and everything, everyone is an
opportunity to reinvent the archetypes in a personal renaissance where the
philosopher’s stone is our breath, intention and movement towards creative
progress
There is something
magical about a neurological photo of a new brain pattern being created in an
act of learning a new skill, talent, perspective
Those tentacles of
connectivity in the brain detach and reattach creating a new web of design
We are forever
young in the constant flexibility of our rooting and expanding presence
I imagine I’m a
redwood tree
My trunk is thick,
high towards the sky and deeply buried
My scars show in
the burn marks from wildfires that nearly killed me
I survived that
and the blizzard and the drought and the flood and the pests and the ivy and
the disease
Parts of me die
and parts of me live on
Because I’m like a
seed
There is plenty
specks of light for me to remember how to weave my essence back into wholeness
Kindly
By Rosa Ivy
Her love is gentle
like the cracking of a bird’s wings as it stretches for the first time
Her voice calls to
him through the moon waning and waxing as lily pads expand and contract going
inward
She doesn’t ask
for much instead gives all her nectar to the hummingbird without complaining or
detesting
Her joys hum
sorrows calmly to sleep like a child buries their head in the stomach of their
mother
She watches the
deer and they let her recognizing her essence as moss laying on the ground like
a blanket to comfort the Earth
The passing of elk
turn their stare at her as she dances in a field of sweet grass allowing the
rain to soak her
Buffalo amaze her
turtle heart as they roll the Earth in movements of processions
Her eyes take in
the brown of dying leaves before snow breaks their brittle shriveling ending
into specks of light
She lays on snow
and melts white into liquid like sugar cubs dissolving in steam of warm tea
If she was a
hearth, she’d be in the house of a painter and great story telling mapping the
journey of soul through lifetimes of life forms
Her shallows know
oysters, colorful, bright, tiny fish, green covering rocks, crabs and clams
with luminous light gleaming like the inner world of crystals
Her depths are
intense with maverick beasts and mystical things waiting to be discovered in
the darkness of conscious living
There is breathing
like ravens soaring and sight of eagles rotating the darkness into sunrise and
she is the space between
When bright yellow
turns to orange
When pitch black
turns to dazzling indigo
When vibrant green
turns to pinkish blue
How to Open the
Heart
By Rosa Ivy
Yogic science says
the liver is closer to the function of the spiritual heart for its purification
and detoxification abilities
The physical heart
is about endurance and stamina
Whatever our
spiritual heart does for us is majestic
I suppose the
physical heart keeps the youthful energy pumping through us so no matter how
painful and difficult emotions and experiences can be our playful nature
surging through our process of purification persists
The spiritual
heart is a compass, an inner guide unveiling our creative exuberance in our
wild expressions of the divine
Our spiritual
heart gives us a tool to our maverick mastery
It’s a talent,
gift, skill, mindset, a way our mind works that allows us to develop our
personal Renaissance
Yearning for
belonging, our intimacy for sincere sensibility encourages us to release the
unnecessary materialism in the people, places and things we accumulate and
circulate with the artistic flows that keep us constantly transforming our
youth brighter, more dynamic and innovative
Our greatest
Destiny in the virtues of our spiritual heart is to embrace a kind of love that
asks of us to embody our soul in the abstract jazz of our symphonic
compositions of maverick breakthroughs
In the break down
of our spiritual heart from immense adversity, difficulty and pain of
transformation a part of us falls into depression and anxiety for the exposure
to life is too raw
We build our
discernment and sometimes allow our ego to drive us forward when we lose trust
in our spiritual heart’s ability to navigate us
Ego is fierce and
protective and yet it isn’t where we find our blueprint
Our human design
we’re meant to create comes from our spiritual heart
There is innocence, sensitivity, joy, personal freedom and personal power in the process of purification and detoxification our spiritual heart offers to the wild unknown adventure of our daunting assignments to take whatever this world is and turn it into a maverick majestic mastery for the Renaissance of our love’s resilience to reimagine, reparent, revive, recover, rehabilitate, restructure, rebirth ourselves continuously in the water of our blood like a womb, a nest we rest in to receive our lovely love lavishing us with nourishment of stars shifting our skies wiser in the breathing of our lungs supporting our lover’s detox and heart’s devotion to live maverick
Intimacy
By Rosa Ivy
As a child our heart is open and wild
We explore nature with untamed play
We are eager to learn, discover ourselves and change
Something happens in the adult that turns off that bold honesty as we replace play with criticism and become our worst critic
Everything then gets filtered through society judgment
We become less heartfelt, intuitive and authentically bold and more upright, uptight and worried
Intimacy of Pacha Mama is wild horses knowing how to survive and eager to rediscover the land over and over
How many times do you look at yourself and find a new wonder that you didn’t see before?
We consume much of the world and yet don’t really know the world
We eat the berry but don’t know it’s tree and the land that nourishes the seed
Intimacy is learning to play the piano with the intention of learning how to create beautiful sounds
Intimacy is amplifying the beauty, awe striking wonder and fantastical joy of the other through our steady attention and endearing giving
Intimacy is subtle, sensitive and sensual
We unveil our mystical light in the gentle yet fierce directness of intimacy that shows us how deep and vibrant our colorful essence is
People run from intimacy with themselves because as an adult we train the mind to undermine the subtle, sensitive and sensual for “fear disguised as practicality” [Jim Carrey]
We assume it’s practical to live at the surface of our lives for material gain
But the real achievement comes from a depth of expression that connects us to the soul of humankind
We become imposters running from intimacy with ourselves, lack steadiness and have personal problems that agitate all personal relationships
We’re afraid to love ourselves as a child loves the grass because love to the adult is conditional and we need a sense of control always to feel safe
Safety becomes how much control we have
In reality, safety is how creatively innovative, intuitive and changeable we are
Intimacy cannot be fully expressed when control, judgment and criticism constantly undermine play
Play is the root of intimacy
Play is the stem and the peddles of intimacy
Play drops us into a Pacha Mama brain state of generosity, prosperity, inner strength, unconditional love and wild creativity at the same time which allows a spontaneous breakthrough to happen in the wilderness of our relaxing imagination
It’s that wilderness of connectivity with all things that generates a gorgeous appreciation for change and challenges that evoke personal growth
Play is flexibility, agility and adaptability that keeps the spine of the mind youthful in the late age
Play is a brain that honors the heartfelt intuitive nature and allows subtle, sensitive and sensual feelings to guide the course
This is the course towards creative excellence in the sharing of our steady enchantment
It’s deep breathing, eye gazing, sensual touch, sweet laugh, playful words and goofy stride that allows our stature to be an ecstatic pleasure that brings more radiant life together
John Mayer?
By Rosa Ivy
John is close to the Earth following the river towards new territories to expand his heart
Curiosity, positivity and passion keep him steadily progressing towards the light
Dark thoughts dissolve in the pure wonder of his imagination exploring the creative brilliance that weaves us together
He knows a gentle harmony that of deer and elk living simply with the present moment
Individuality, creativity and kindness hold him stable in his mind and teach him artistic ways of recognizing the true self, the self that is before this life and after this life
He does not stray from his center but takes his center everywhere with him as a reminder to stay in synch with intuitive space of innocence, experience and fun loving change
His light is luminous because his soul is close to his mind and his mind adores the heart keeping him visionary and loved by many
His talents are his generous offering, a wish for people to discover their harmony with themselves and express their wildly ambitious dream to live naturally
In a world of hustle, the softness of his peace and fierceness of his determination to grow teaches us that creative intelligence is the key to unlocking better realities
He’s never been in love before because his old soul and natural form do not settle for just status quo
The American dream of a white fenced house, a dog and a baby seems delightful but he yearns for more
In a world of karmic connections, ties and attachments based on conditional love, he’s searching for unconditional love within himself and devotes himself to authentic, heartfelt loving to be like-vibration to something greater than worldly ties, attachments and conditions but something like hummingbirds adore flowers, sweet grass nurture Buffalo, rosters safeguard chicken, jaguars watch over forest and dolphins mate for life as a tribe of spiritual connectivity that goes beyond bird in a cage where we pretend to know the natural form of our creative excellence and yet we’re too afraid to truly be our wild unknown self for karmic conditions keep us unable to fly out the open door
He’s developing an adventure of the eagle in love where land is vast and open and sky is stormy, clear, snowy and wet where all the emotions, thoughts and sensations can be experienced within a kindred bond that brings artistic renaissance to a world deeply longing for courage to fly out the open door and decondition to recondition itself back to when the self is close to the Earth
We can be living on earth and be so tied to the world, we forget our wholeness constantly fulfilling conditions to fit in
Jaguars are vastly different from rosters
They do not distort themselves to be liked by the other
John knows a precious understand that sincere love comes from the natural side of the world when spiritual heart and crafty mind join together as a team and not rivals
The honesty with his own heart keeps him endlessly creative and that gives him mental clarity even in the darkest of times
There is always a wonder to explore and a brilliance to discover and a clearer vision of love
Personal Freedom
By Rosa Ivy
Spiritual love is playful, generous and open like summer solstice is always open to the changes of the universe
Winter solstice integrates the revelations of the changes of Earth and equinoxes implement the changes
We are all told, “Earth isn’t for the faint of heart”
Earth is a warrior training
And yet the goal isn’t war
The goal is personal freedom
The archetypes of humankind are a hero’s journey
We are given a shadow, an ego and choice
Our choice is our tool for self discovery and character development
Our ego is a container that holds the world’s stuff and the goal is organizing all that stuff in way that benefits us
Our shadow is the vessel that holds 14 generations of trauma, unconscious fears, perversions and self hate and a subconscious wasteland of unresolved fantasies
Humankind is destined to walk the path of fear to overcome fear in the pursuit of pure joy and fearless creative living where love and healing manifest in our personal strength and ability to transform pain into purpose and worries and anxieties into intuitive breakthroughs
The Warrior in us is a teacher of maverick Destiny, spiritual love and timeless realities where the junky stuff of humankind that cause us to hate ourselves, each other and disconnect from our nature instinct-we are one with the universe, self is in other and we are capable of greatness-revolutionizes in our choice to use our choices to creatively redefine ourselves consistently until the soul is amplified gorgeously offering the most positive reality regardless of the negative, dense and toxic obstructions trying to highjack our individuality
This is a blues room in the days of my grandfather
It is a space to be the most positive version of ourselves in a community of teamwork that allows all the stresses and negativity surrounding the black blues people to be deflected, transmuted and digested, transformed into works of sublime beauty like a rose bush growing through and around the pesticide trying to keep it small
Reality that is and isn’t ours to interact with
By Rosa Ivy
It takes great courage to amplify the reality we truly want
First, we must discover our authentic code buried under 14 generations of programming
Shame holds us back, keeps us afraid of ourselves
Shame keeps humanity scratching at trauma of oneself and others, nitpicking, projecting our control issues onto others and assuming someone is something based on conditioned behaviors installed by our society
It is foolish to assume someone is anything because the eternal soul within this vessel is too complex and vast for anyone to know
Instead of amplifying our strengthens and talents, we are conditioned to focus on weakness and allow the negative mind to become a belittling force
Belittlement’s shame invites judgment that is ridged and hateful, blocking the flow of transformation and human progress through human compassion keeping us stuck in a thought instead of meditating through that thought
We’re used to hate and yet we know that we need to move past belief systems that keep us prejudice disguised as righteous
The Native American person knows very well what it’s like to be trained to throw away one’s own culture, language and spiritual identity to survive in a world desperate for freedom (that’s why majority came to Americas from Europe) and yet is willing to undermined, tarnish and ridicule an artistry different from its own
Therefore, religious intolerance and tyrannical behavior from Europeans trying to escape this way of life only transferred itself to American people
We can never escape our problems
We can travel from Spain to North America to escape control and it follows
Native American people were forced to carry the weight of European baggage and some weights are too heavy and destroy us
It takes great courage, intuition and a fierce spiritual identity to overcome the separation paradigm that keeps us hyper focused on diversity being a problem instead of a majestic movement of God teaching us self in other within the creative expansion of light organizing itself differently to experience itself differently
It’s the lack of positive programming that damages our natural oneness with the universe and keeps us separate from our essence
We chose to be here
Of course, we have karma generationally and personally that we must work out
We are creatively genius
Reality is a product of our mind
And don’t take on the world
You are a spiritual being having a physical experience
Participate
Transform your worldly identity into a spiritual identity
Then, the world isn’t so heavy
You become a gravity of your own design
Capable of relating to the universe in such unique ways
That uniqueness underneath that transference of stuff from the world is your best adventure
Be positive and redesign your own human mind to be the reality you truly want and don’t stop, rest inside its wind horse of maverick mystery encouraging excellence
The Ultimate Goal of Life
By Rosa Ivy
The goal is to be as creative as possible in a single lifetime
We have many lifetimes to work out our fantasies, traumas, fears, perversions and distorted realities
We have many karmic ties to people, places and things we must work through in a journey of learning what authentically connects us to the universe and what is illusionary
Shame holds us back, keeps us low vibrational
It’s that kind of shame that discourages us from being creative and intuitive
Craftmanship of mind is the only thing that we take with us on our walk of life
We spend lifetimes developing a quality of mind that is genius in the ability to forgive, love and soar
Problems, challenges and adversities are like algebra questions we must answer
It’s hard to answer those questions when our attention cannot focus on what we need to learn because we’re too distracted by our fear of excellence
All the world’s problems are searching for a unique perspective that manifests from a quality of mind that has a fine tuned craftmanship
The greater challenge is isolation, feeling a lack of belonging and purpose
That feeling of being unloved and uncared for stirs doubt into our thoughts
Overtime doubt saturates, completely soaks our innocence and natural connection to greatness with a paralyzing fear
Some people freeze and depression spreads taking over our imagination and shrinking our expansive heart
Our devotion to human excellence and creative progress dwindles to a weak stride towards our brilliant goal
The mind can either weigh us down or lift us up
It does both and it’s the heart center that equalizes and harmonizes our movements to be like a rose growing into darkness of soil full of nutrients and levitating up towards light of consciousness
We gain nutrients from the act of transmuting negative and toxic things of the world into nourishment like how Pacha Mama takes rotting flesh of a dead deer and then makes nutritional mushrooms that support good health to the ecosystem
Mother Earth is a school and the walk with her is long
It’s devotion to our craftmanship that keeps us continuous in our rebirthing vitality
We must let go
We must end cycles
We must begin cycles
We must completely recondition our mind
Over and over and it’s the enthusiasm of creative progress that keeps us eager to keep walking like running a mile then realizing you just ran two
You never ran two miles before
You never thought you could
But somehow in the thrill of doing something that brings you closer to your heart Mother Earth finds a way for you to breakthrough
Heart Waves
By Rosa Ivy
Does love at first sight exist?
It’s interesting how some people experience love at first sight in youth
Why is that?
Is it because we’re more sensitive in youth and therefore, able to pick up on subtle energy exchange
Our heartfelt feelings are raw, unfiltered and amplified in youth
Then, we delude with the world and our senses become more alert to our worries, anxieties and concerns and yet we try to suppress these sensations to not overwhelm ourselves with emotion
We think emotion as an adult isn’t practical
It interferes with our survival
Emotion is the access point to the sensory attraction and magnetism that helps us navigate a complex existence
We are 3 dimensional, 4 dimensional and 5 dimensional and only our 6th sense which is a combination of all tactile senses working together in a heightened state of perception can access higher thought which is beyond a physical form and yet deeply imbedded in this physical expression of ourselves
This is where we discover creative ideas that belong to a future not yet paved out
Da Vince knew of the submarine long before the time science and technology would allow such creative idea to exist in our paradigm
There is an extraordinary wonder about heart intelligence
It’s magnetism, gravity and methods of manifesting is beyond our pragmatic understanding
We try to capture its coding of the universe through sacred geometry and the mathematics within it that reveal organization to vast shapes, patterns and ways of being
We call that space where logic and intuition emerge “higher function” because we can look at something and find no solution and then after thoughtful exploration find a solution
Attracting a love at first sight is a gravity
“Gravity can cross through dimensions. It’s the key,” [Interstellar]
There is a field of energy we all create
It’s how like things attract like things
And polarizing things create friction for expansion
Our heart is different from our brain
I believe it receives the signals from the brain and transmits them out into our blood, emotions and beyond our body like sending a message to the universe of something we wish to experience and that experience come to us
The heart is a strong electromagnetic field that is the first thing created in utero stage and the last thing that signifies death
The heart is a gateway to those other spaces in time that exist simultaneously as we are here and not here
It’s pulsation like morse code has a rhythm that downloads our unique consciousness into this body
That sequence of vibrant energy has a sound like each planet in our solar system has a unique frequency
The heart brings things together and aligns our brain with a higher function
When we disconnect from our heart or create dense layers around our heart, it’s higher sensory perception cannot feel the creativity all around
Sometimes we connect to our future through ego alone
Ego is a great helper but not the space where we access our creative vision for our unique life
It’s the youthfulness of our attention and attraction to our heart that allows us to feel our way through relationships and know what is pulling us towards our soul and what is an educational experience to train the mind
We are either training the mind to be conditional and set or creatively evolutionary
The mind does both
We are always instilling something in us like a talent for playing the piano and reinventing through breaking down our previous patterns to discover something new
Love at first sight is a spontaneous moment when the heart aligns with someone precisely in this awe striking expansion of oneself
The Typewriter Speaks
By Rosa Ivy
Typewriters might be a pain for those with dyslexia but overall it is glorious to those with a patient heart
The heart is an interesting expression
On a biological level it’s like a Buffalo giving us a marvelous endurance
On a spiritual level its ability to process life’s intensities is an ocean able to handle all storms
Typewriters slow down everything placing the mind in a thoughtful imagination
Sometimes our mind is too fast and stampedes our heart
It’s like a jammed type writer we keep trying to force to work
Communication between the head and the heart joins together in the simplest joy like writing a single sentence on the type writer and recognizing how each word is sincerely selected to describe a single feeling
We wait before acting upon our heart’s impulse because we are trained to pay more attention to our thoughts
Thoughts are more connected to our ego then feelings
We cling to our ego like a child grips to its blanket
We all want comfort and safety especially in a world that is friendly and not at the same time
Ego never gives us satisfaction
We cycle back to our heart because those natural impulses coming from deep within the waters of our intuition encourage fantastic creativity that goes beyond ego which gives us ultimate soulful journey worth while
Ego cannot even understand the ecstatic creativity of our heart
We train our thoughts to be more inclusive to feelings generating from the heart chakra
Those original feelings unaltered by ego and thoughts projecting out into body and that come from a need for spiritual growth
Our thoughts begin to filter through those feelings to be evaluated and processed
Most thoughts come from the world around but there are those other thoughts that come from a meditative awareness that happens in the simplest moment of joy like admiring an elk grazing in the meadow
Training the mind to be more affectionate to the heart’s need for spiritual growth and a soulful journey worth while puts our heart as the teacher and the mind as the student
For a lot of people the ego is the teacher
Once that adjustment is made there’s a blossoming consciousness that begins to weave itself into our mind placing our mind a dream catcher of sublime creativity that connects us to something worldly yet soulfully unique to a universe of unique configurations of sound, light and energy
Discovery of the Other is Discovering the Self
By Rosa Ivy
What is a love bond
Loving someone is loving ourselves
The path towards loving ourselves is embracing our fantastical creativity
Creativity builds confidence, independence, high self worth and personal values such as patience, determination and resilience
The higher the creativity the deeper the love is
The greatest thing we can give to a love bond is encouragement to be more creative
Creativity is prosperity and that gives us a sense of personal excellence
We come to this physical existence on planet Earth to be educated on creative energy, it’s science, it’s spirituality, it’s service to humanity, it’s intelligence, it’s polarizing forces and be challenged by those karmic cycles that disempower creativity
My mom always loved dancing and when she was nine years old was told by a ballet teacher that she could never be a “good” dancer because she doesn’t have the “ballerina body”
Of course, a nine year old would feel displaced and give up on that study
There are many things in the world that discourage creativity, circumstances, traumas, limitations and restrictions
Creativity doesn’t need anything
It generates from within
When that part of ourselves, inner child, is allowed to grow through our creative development our love becomes devotional, endearing and authentic towards ourselves
We begin to see our value in this world and use our imagination to create a strong vision for our progress and purpose
Connecting with a lover is honoring their spiritual identity
We never truly know our spiritual identity until we uncover our creative self
Creativity allows two different people to emerge in this blues room where trumpet joins piano in a fun loving collaboration where friction manifest new found innovation
Creativity makes us whole because it allows us to change, adapt, reinvent, heal, let go and have a spiritual sense of self that isn’t religious or worldly but soulful, intuitive and studious to the wonder’s of nature
Our lover will never be set, fixed and same but a continuous movement of self discovery when we invite creative expression to inspire intimacy
Intimacy is understanding, sharing and inclusivity
We all yearn for it but are reserved to it because judgment rules over us and it’s not the kind like an art teacher that criticizes our work for progress
Worldly judgment can be belittlement
So many people have locked their creativity away because facing belittlement seems too daunting, exhausting and treacherous to face
It’s easier to hide away
So we hide from authentic connections
We get used to holding back in love, taking things personally and projecting our stuff onto the other
When we fully claim our creative brilliance and fully take action towards its growth and expansion, we create a momentum of authentic relating to ourselves that inspires our relationships to be brilliant, soulful and endearing, a kind of love most people want but are too afraid to embrace just like they are afraid to embrace their creative potential
The world is a school
We just have to show up, participate and see everything as a lesson, assignment and test
Even the death of a loved one, trauma and lack have a lesson, assignment and test we are encouraged to learn
What else is there to do on planet Earth?
But, learn all there is
If the world is suffering according to Buddha
Then, our mind must be the remedy because our mind, yes, made the world of suffering and also made the spaces inside and beyond the world that are totally joyous and free
Carry Me Away
By Rosa Ivy
Love is simple and yet we complicate our feelings because it’s human natural to overthink especially in a world that encouraged separation for such a long time and now we are reimagining the world with each long inhale and deep exhale
We aren’t our parents, grandparents and society
We are our spiritual heart that chose to experience the world for personal growth, creative sharing, endearing friendship and authentic love
We are ambitious and devoted to the journey of human excellence and yet our fears, anxieties and unprocessed traumas can saturate our mind with unruly negativity
That’s why God gives us alchemy
We can transform our pain into purpose at any moment
Neurology proves that the brain can be reimagined, reset, recalibrated, reorganized
Of course, it’s not easy
It’s like learning German in your mid forties when your brain is more fixed, set in its ways
The youthfulness of the brain comes from our elemental soul, that part of us that’s highly imaginative, dreamy, artistic, intuitive, sensitive and always learning something new
My esoteric teacher, Guru Jagat had our class learn opera for a Christmas performance at her studio
We had a couple of practices and then we performed
Our voices were wild
But our spirit was ever so lovely
We came together and we just let the beauty of enthusiasm carry us away
We’ll never fully understand our alchemical heart until we just let it carry us away
That takes mighty trust, a lot of faith and ambitious enthusiasm
The brain is designed to be reinvented continuously
It’s the alchemical heart that sparks the change, death, rebirth and creative insight that allows our mind to be more like our elemental soul, which is gorgeous in the way Alan Watts sees pure reality
What a woman teaches a man
By Rosa Ivy
Men have been trained by the patriarchy to be emotionless and obsessed with power
Babylon was rough for both men and women
It’s world domination separated us for a long time
Now we get a chance to recognize diversity through a different lens
The matriarch is wisdom of the heart
Without an alchemical heart our mind has no method of changing
Change is a sign of good health
The absence of change implies disconnect
Overtime disconnect causes dysfunction and then decay
Our brain is more colorful than the chakras that make up our electromagnetic heart
Babylon didn’t teach us the wonders of a woman’s wisdom
Babylon felt threatened, intimidated, overwhelmed and even overpowered by a woman’s heart
A graceful woman teaches a man the orgasmic bliss of aligning spiritual identity with physical embodiment
That connection is creative brilliance, brightness and genius potential
A mother brings a soul to Earth and supports that soul by building its human body, step by step, day after day with the intention of helping that soul connect its infinite creative brilliance to its physicality
A woman’s womb is a cosmic portal
Indigenous people know that and yet people of Babylon undermine, separate women from the cosmos like separating the heart from the mind
Matters of heart keep the mind focused on life purpose and filter out the junk that doesn’t belong in the mind
A woman’s graceful energy is like a cocoon and her partner and children live inside it’s warmth, protection and creative brightness
Men like the caterpillar blossom into butterflies through the cosmic portal
Women are the greatest challenge to men
Men get a chance to know the fullness of their creative potential through that cosmic portal, which is elemental, nourishing, energetic, vivid and radiant
The matriarch encourages men to find harmony between the heart and mind which unlocks a kind of love that is fierce, fearless, graceful and authentic to the desire to be creatively outstanding in the way a man knows that he’s connected to the heart of the Earth
Special Connections
By Rosa Ivy
There are special connections we have in life. I call them kindred activations because the thought and feeling of them energizes our heart with adventure, joy and truth. They strengthen our confidence and help us stay focused on our life purpose. There are many discouraging connections, people who lower our self worth and keep us small, limited and unexpressed. We yearn for maverick and majestic awakening of our heart and soul. Life isn’t truly lived without being wholehearted. A lot of times we feel broken because of those painful connections that burn, sting us mature. In our immaturity, we get tough life lessons to show us what isn’t true for us and what is real for us. It’s different and seems ruthless even cruel for the universe to shatter our heart just to throw us into the unknown but there is a rhyme and reason. There is purpose to the blizzard even though it’s dangerous and aggressive. We need strength so we can have nerve. Life can’t be fulfilled without nerve. Those heart breaking connections give us a kind of strength that allows us to be wholehearted in those other connections that belong to our voyaging soul.
Love at First Sight
By Rosa Ivy
Passion gives us power
We long for the visionary to show us how to use our power for healing
Creativity is the goal, final result, evolutionary breakthrough
We are born with amnesia
We must wake up from the collective dream, our parents and grandparents dream and find our soul’s jewel deep within the mountain of the collective psyche full of shadows, wailing, lust, danger and excess
Our precious jewel isn’t hard to find but isn’t easy
It’s a creative challenge and we are the evolutionary mind pursuing greatness
We encounter awakeners, people who comfort, encourage and enliven us
They become teachers, allies, guides and challengers
Their assignment in our life is to get us to our precious jewel so we remember our creative dream
They help us not slay the dragon but ride the dragon of our beastly power
At first glance, we recognize their soul because inside us amnesia starts to clear, bit by bit, piece by piece
We start to feel more integrated, aligned and one with our elemental self
We’re all looking for our heart, courage and higher brain like tin man longs for a heart, lion searches for courage and scarecrow demands a higher brain
Sometimes we feel fragmented by our childhood problems, traumas and worldly difficulties, crisis and pain
At times we feel hard and bitter like tin man without a heart
Sometimes we feel powerless and feeble like Lion without his courage
Other times we feel stupid and unworthy like scarecrow without his higher brain
Dorothy is the call the awakening, a very true friend that gets us up out of our funk and sparks the fire that gives us energy to go into the mountain and retrieve our precious jewel so we can become our authentic self and vibrate the cosmos here on Earth in a glorious creative success
We, thou, thee
I am set free from the matrix, from my fears, from illusions, from my pain
I am capable of greatness because I’m guided by kindred spirits that take me all the way
Maverick Medicine
By Rosa Ivy
Our heart yearns for adventure that creatively challenges us
We belong to the universe and all its destruction and recreation
Every moment cells are dying and new ones are being formed
We’re a constant shifting tide as we ride our wind horse forward
We’re cosmic dancers shifting from spirit world to elemental world
Lovers sing to us songs of positivity as maverick medicine so that when we descend into cave with little to no light we’re not afraid
Coming to a world such as ours is more than an incarnation, it’s an assignment and we choose to learn
Archetypes of this world are allies and yet ones we reject are the missing piece to solving fragmentation of fall to Earth and amnesia that makes us think we’re separate from the universe and all it’s tried and true knowledge
We stumble
We falter
We slip
We’re phoenix and wolf helping us understand way of wilderness
Way of wilderness is understanding soul
Civilized in our cement jungle, wilderness of unexpected change still cannot be escaped
Lovers song keeps playing in deep night hooting owl, marigold sunrise hum, midday falcon and sunset ache of boughs reminding us that intuition is a lantern guiding us through darkness of potential not yet reached but conceived inside us
When lack of reciprocity weighs heavy on a body needing nourishment
By Rosa
I must not be worthy
I think I’m fun loving and earthy
Then why am I rejected so much?
I know life can be tough
It’s full of villain and heroic stuff
Earth school can’t only be about the test
There has to be rest
Or everything is never ending, mentally pressurizing chess
I take visionary quest
I ponder on what I can do better
I marvel at eagle feathers
How can I soar when I’m weighed down?
I try to mimic hawk brown
But my necessities are not met
I don’t ask for corvette
I just want to receive what I earned
All the things I’ve learned
Don’t get me anywhere without helpful love from the universe
Constant delay, I grew nervous
If I must be a fighting spirit everyday of my life
Then strife must be my wife
I stay optimistic like postpartum husband’s patience
But where is return investment
I am beaconing renaissance
Universe, give me an assessment
If I keep pushing myself
There will be nothing left of myself
I’m trying to know thyself
I’m upgrading to be a better self
It’s only hard when my mind wants relief, to finally progress
And I’m left in limbo wanting to reset
Working for breakthrough
Working for victory
I turn to mantra
Everything is mystery
Everything is beautiful yantra
I must surrender and trust way through
I’ve been the Buffalo
Now I am a Raven
I’m going into heart’s haven
And remaining true to education on dedication
I release control and go at it with soul whole
Regardless of the breaking, I am whole
With a long sigh, I cleanse stress from my nesting eyes
When Life is Hard
By Rosa
I open my whole soul
I share my wonder
But he’s not espanol
He doesn’t get my thunder
I want to be seen by right eyes
but I need allies
All I’ve known are karmic ties
I’m evolving
I’m resolving
Hoping I’m falling for the right man
I pray he becomes my clan
Diamond in the rough, my body aches to dance
I stand at Palos Verdes bluff
I’m a pelican romance
When red takes pink and indigo steals blue
I dive into nighttime taboo
My old soul is too much of a mystic
For world of materialistic
My statistic is futuristic
I’m holistic and that makes me queer like not drinking beer when everyone drinks alcohol
And I’m not a plastic doll
I seek a soul not just somebody
I could have anybody
In a world of billions
My lover is eternal, one out of star’s a trillion
My thoughts stream consciousness on my journal
I pray for somebody to get my lush body full of wild things and Raven wings
I wait
I state
Where are you?
Beloved wake
It’s a heavy weight
Vibrating higher fate
Many have slept on me
Many have denied me
Many simply are intimidated by me
In a journey of disappointment, I keep close to enchantment
I try not to get discouraged when everything I give does not nourishes me in return
It’s tiring and I yearn
For breakthrough that allows my seeds to grow
What is a life without overflow and only plateau?
I will myself to be strong but I’m not Hong Kong
My body is fragile
Luckily my mind is agile
I belong to lover’s care
I am solitaire
I wear beautifully given a chance
But how can I prance when no man gives me the chance?
Do soulmates exist?
And why must I go through so much resist?
I persist
But my heart needs relief from evolution of soul asking so much of me and yet when I ask for something in return, I’m slept on
I beacon on
Goodbye F Boy
By Rosa
F boys are for the whoa
It’s always a no
I’ve got soul
I’m too bold for your sword
You hoard sexual energy
You’re a frienemy
Taking me down
Sinking in your mess
Wearing your frown
Thinking I’m less
When really I’m the best
Lover, hugger cuz I move you to grow
I move you to glow from your old soul
But you’d rather stay low
I can’t bare you
Though I like to
I got to keep rolling cuz you’re too controlling and it suffocates
I’d say meet me at 8
Like when we are teens
But you choose random sex over a true mate
Our tree leans
It’s ready to die
Farewell, what a sigh
We could have been true lover’s eyes
Instead we are grey skies
Rain washes away this pain
Mountain turns to sand
Swimming back to land
I hold pearls in my hand
Cuz I’m free
I should to be a bee with broken wings
That couldn’t sting
Now I wear this ring
Gold, so bold, my crown unfolds
Into a majesty where my tragedy turns to alchemy
I stand at this balcony
Looking out not for a savor but a trail blazer
I wish you well
I kiss and don’t tell
But your kiss has not spark
It’s stark
I want more
I leave you at the door
My heart, I restore
She
made a career out of child support
She
was a foxy sly escort
Looking
for men who got wealth in the sport
Seduce
them then take them to court
I’d
rather turn blankets into forts
Take
dreams and build a safe place, healing resort
I
like to play
Hawaii
sunshine rays
During
Shenandoah green in rain day
I
imagine Chesapeake Bay, Lorax would say
It’s
better to run with the wolves then hide
Run
with the wolves
I
mark this land like elk hooves
Monsters
are real but don’t give them your energy
Remember
you’re in the 5D humanity documentary
Babylon
turns man against woman for the thrill
Now
women are trying to kill off the ill by climbing the golden hill
Hoping
one day there be will to fulfill the healing with reawakened medicine skill
Man
holds ego to his chest like it’s a golden crest
He’s
starting to realize love makes him his best
But
first he must pass difficult tests
We
struggle not to be depressed
So
we walk visionary quest
To
reassess, digest & invest
In
a woman’s ancient wonder under her breasts
A
heart so fiery it’s like phenix to repair broken society
City
of cement oh no
I
want jungle flow where night time glows
I
am sooo bored with televised eyes
Sticking
to my phone like a poltergeist oh no
I’ll
never see the moon because I’m stuck to the video game blues that ain’t no muse
It’s
sad that I don’t have self control
Take
me to jazz of grandpa pizazz
I
need to learn to grow my own food too
I’ll
take a journey to Peru to learn something about ancient crew
Who
you? Alien no I swim in Mediterranean to remember Atlantis
But
mostly everybody on tik tok
This
is just a fantasy I bought
Tik
tok
Sinking
into the box
Where
everyone’s a fox that goes boo
Who
you?
I
don’t have a who because I lost my clues
First,
I fell in love with your kiss
It
was swish like this
Lips
on lips, abyss, my bliss
With
you, your kiss I can’t resist
Tell
me what you feel all the time
Kindred
lovers swim through waters of Sublime
Endless,
breathless, defenseless
I’ll
be your shield, roses everywhere in your open field, we are healed
Touching
your chest, you’re a beast, my high priest, wisdom inside your temper increased
I
am falling
Nothing
else to do but give into you
You
give me breath back
As
I ride your spine into dazzling black
When
stars hum and I ain’t numb
I
feel your sweat drenching my spirit like a spirit bath
You
laugh, your beastly wrath
Singing
in your heart, never too far even when a part
We
got the intertwine, no fear, plenty of tears
Because
we heal
Loving,
kissing, heating up
Spark
fly
As
we lay eye to eye
Intense,
Scorpio and the enchantress
Lifetimes
of magic
We
are a classic
I’ll
be your Nefertiti
And
you’ll beastly
Lemuria,
euphoria
Faerie,
prairie
I’m
white Buffalo
And
you’re still beastly
Feasting
on my love gently, sweetly
Honey
and the bee
I
want to be a feminine
But
sometimes I got to be a man
To
survive
I
want to thrive
Like
a honey hive
I
am alone on this throne
World
so big and sometimes unfair
I
am rare
I
do care like a prayer
I
am wishing, hoping, praying that we all will be our best selves
Like
magical elves
We
got something special, one of a kind
A
different humankind, so fine and yet we walk a tight line
Fear
and fearful
That’s
why I shed those tears
So
I’m never ever too fearful and become dreadful
I
want to thrive
Like
a honey hive
So
I drive
Through
Smokey mountains
Like
drinking from pure crystal water fountains
I
need to revive
I
strive for the high five
Friends
till the end
Supporting
each other, everyone is my brother
Too
much pain we go insane
Reaching
for light, drowning in the night
To
wake up with a headache
Because
life is the maverick
We
go to school to get some tools
So
we’re not fools
Running
around, hurting people hurt people
Give
me a lesson, divine intention
Because
I need some teaching, impeaching those negative thoughts trying to take out the
deep feeling
I
go to the night, drown to touch the bottom so I know what it’s like to be in
total dark and shine like a star
How
we Burn Out
By
Rosa Ivy
We
are taught by society to compete
We
feel the pressure of competition all around us
Saturated
social media is a constant fight of narrative and algorithm
We
must not waste to much energy fighting AI
For
a very old rule has exhausted many people
“Keep
people focused on what they cannot control”
This
rule of mental fatigue that benefits some and breaks down many is designed to
discourage creative progress
Everyone
is born with the neurological configuration that is - my mind is a product of
my world
Those
who pursue art eventually figure out that - my reality is a product of my mind
In
a world of creative community commerce, we are feverish to beat the system that
wants us to be robotic, neurotic and superficial, synthetic and arrhythmic
addictive to the machine and stupefied by the machine
To
be an artist is to be a free thinker
In
s world we’re AI proclaims to be smarter than human we can undermine our own
brilliance
To
be an artist is devotional work that sometimes requires a lot of focus,
determination and growth
In
some ways, to be an artist is to be a farmer
We’re
learning how to grow beautiful things that nurture people and give people
energy to live healthy and happy
There
are endless poems about fruits, sunsets, mountains, meadows and
wildlife that roam the land
If
art is meant to be healing then how can it also be draining?
There
is a battle
Our
inner femininity, which is gentle, loving and intuitive has to manage a man’s
made world, which can be demanding, harsh and powerful
We
become warriors toward our art because art itself is seen as a rebellion
because to be soft when all is hard is radical
But
softness is not weakness nor is vulnerability weakness
We
gotten used to being hard because to survivor Alexander the Great’s World is
not for faint hearted
Softness
is actually higher intelligence
To
be able to be open, flexible and learners mind surrounded by dense, compressed
and stressed storm of human fear, anxiety and distorted realities is
regenerative art
We
only burn ourselves out because we yearn for tribe so badly
Many
times, we are alone with our art and that burdens us
We
long for tribal sharing, caring and inclusivity and hope our art will return us
back to that simple joy, everlasting joy
We
strive and strive because we’re architects and builders, hoping one day we can
realize a more heartfelt world not of robots and machinery but of people who
know how to vibrate the cosmos
It’s
a pressure we all agreed to take as we evolutionize this human mind and learn
how to be artists of human happiness
Creatures
are more alike
By
Rosa
For
my mind, the definition of spirituality is this…
The
study of nature
I
grew up with the fear of my Native American culture
I
assumed based on my German grandmother who was very catholic that this part of
me is false
I
spend a lot of time outside by myself talking with nature trying to understand
why we are all unique and why the world sometimes wants us all to be the
same
I
could spend hours talking with nature
It
heals my soul and brings me balance
I
thought about the Dao, Buddhism and other brilliance and realized I needed to
take a journey to discover the fullness of humankind and not just pieces
I
couldn’t put together humankind with one ingredient
I
was hungry to make something rich with a lot of nourishment
I
spoke with the beavers and asked them how they are and what they think about
their world
I
spoke with the robins and asked them how they are and what they think about
their world
I
asked the squirrels, raccoons, hawks, deer, elk, mice
Every
creature had a different story to tell
Robin
spoke about making a nest, singing to the sunrise, singing to his mate
Beaver
spoke about playing in water, gathering perfect sticks and caring for her
babies
Hawk
spoke about hunting for food, soaring in high altitude and watching mountains
in awe
These
creatures had such different lives
A
hawk would never know the water home of a beaver and a beaver would never know
the heights of a hawk
Then
one day…a hawk while perched on a low branch encountered a beaver on land
They
stared at each other for short moments
In
those moments they transferred each other’s story
That
was the moment beaver knew awe striking brilliance of mountains
And
hawk knew bliss of swimming through flowing water
That
was also the moment I began to accept all parts of me because without these
parts I wouldn’t have stories of eyes in the sky and eyes in the water and land
There
is brilliance in seeing limits and new limits and being many things
Divine
By
Rosa Ivy
Love
is meant to expand our hearts and help us become our authentic selves
Love
is a reflection of our self worth and self esteem and a portal to a greater
embodiment
It’s
a journey of self discovery and nature studies
There
are ways about humans that need changing and healing
There
are ways we relate to ourselves that needs modifying
Love
isn’t a harsh teacher (though at times it is tough)
It
is a loyal and dedicated educator, trying to get us to evolve so that we can be
the fullness of our creative destiny
People
spend so many lifetimes after lifetimes barely scratching the surface of their
amazing multidimensional existence
They
simply don’t have the confidence, self responsibility or personal power to
excavate below ego and survival
Love
shows us like archeologists have shown us about civilizations of humankind
The
deeper we go the more masterful we become within ourselves
Love
is our healing, wakeup call and authority
It
gives us command over our victory and releases us of excess stuff that we
absorb from this world
If
we allow love, true love, unconditional love to guide us the human we are today
will transform many times and experience a magic and bliss that we capture in
the symbol of the griffin and phoenix
It’s
a privilege to be on earth and our birth right to excel
All
we must do is be courageous enough to love ourselves and embody the love
frequency the cosmos is teaching us all the time
Haven
By
Rosa Ivy
Sometimes
it can be difficult to share our heart
The
world is known for being harsh to those sensitive and elemental
Humans
sometimes disconnect from nature and stumble through major imbalances
And
those imbalances stress the heart
Sharing
our wonder and magic is necessity for the survival of our endearing love
Though
many times the world tells us this is no place for such authentic progress
We
must fit into the world and not dare change it
But
nature is growth, expansion and change
It
is practical to take risks for growth, expansion and change within the self
For
life is temporary and death coming
We
think we have time because we’re young at heart but then that spark dims when
we forget to love wildly true and playfully bold
I
share my wonder and magic because I have no choice
Either
I become a dweller of the earth bound recycled body or become the expander of
the elemental soul
It’s
a difficult path - a hero’s journey
For
sometimes we must go on a long quest that nearly breaks us down by it’s
constant challenges
Some
give up
Some
keep going
I
keep going
I
know that weed whacking through unknown jungles of worldly existence is
exhausting but personal power is the greatest achievement
Personal
power is worth more than diamond and gold because diamond and gold is fleeting
You
have it then you don’t
Personal
power is a flame of creation that doesn’t easily go out
It
never goes out because as long as there is a conscious being there are cosmic
rhythms moving elements into matter
ruhumun
gülü
By
Rosa Ivy
bana
ağaçlar söyle (sing me trees)
doğa
beni tut (hold me mature)
Sometimes
love is so simple but we over complicate things because we are critical in our
search for perfection
The
more we disconnect from nature the more we assume perfection is narrow,
straight and fits inside the confinement of our protective ego
Perfection
gives us a sense of safety, stability and comfort
Perfection
is another word for control
Nature
is wide open, curved and fits inside the imagination of our infinite soul
Cities
become filled up with noise and it sometimes takes over our inner soft knowing
of who we are
I
imagine Las Vegas to be a clone of all the other cities,
It
shines but does it really shine
Moths
are attracted to street light at night
It
distracts them and never completely satisfies them
They
are unable to see the stars and therefore get lost to street lights and forget
to follow starlight
I
think about the Northern Star and the evening Star
These
stars symbolize a journey towards freedom and personal power
Covered
in city light pollution, we don’t know these wonders
Covered
in ego, we don’t know the wonders of our playful being
In
order to truly navigate the complexity of a man-made world we require a playful
touch
For
wet clay can be changed
Harden
clay cannot
In
our seeking of perfection, we sometimes become hard and forget that nature’s
perfectly imperfect is a constant willing to let die and give birth to a new
flicker of light within the phoenix of our heart
