Poetry for the Renaissance
The Struggle is Real and that’s Why the Mind is Exuberant
Shenandoah valley
when the sunrise turns indigo green hills into marigold where stars are bright
and the Milky Way flies across turning darkness
She is an
exuberant dreamer
A month after high
school graduation she moved to Nashville, TN to pursue country
songwriting/singing
5 years later she
moved to LA, CA to keep the dream alive
2 years later she
moved to Miami, FL still chasing the dream
The dream began at
13 when she wrote her first story about a dolphin and a girl who could become a
mermaid at night and would forget in the morning
At 16 she began
traveling to Nashville, TN during spring break and summer break to study
songwriting, attending workshops and collaborating with other artists
She released her
first self made live album of all original country songs she recorded in the
quietest room in her mother’s apartment, the closet
Age 19, she
started her spiritual business and earned enough money to travel to Spain for
study abroad
At 20 she began
community college for creative writing and institute for applied yogic science
and technology
Being at mystical
school as a full time scholar for over 6 years teaches her a kind of wonder
academia isn’t able to access being structured by Romans and Greeks who didn’t
honor the matriarch’s wisdom causing an imbalance in intelligence
“Is it the color
of my skin, why country music won’t invite me in?”
“Am I simply not
good or is the music industry only for girls with rich fathers?”
Resilience like
the bison in the blizzard
She does not
easily give up
But gets worn down
Age 20, stalker,
going in and out of court in different states for years with no money for a
lawyer so she became her lawyer
Age 22, sexual
trauma, first boyfriend drunk and high violates her body
Age 26, discovery
of a massive ovarian tumor, probably from sexual trauma
Tumor is removed
and ovary is saved because a doctor had the patience, determination and
kindness to spend extra hours working on her body
Age 27, thyroid collapse,
the doctor mentions pre-diabetes and the heart drops into the gut like a seal
being shallowed by a killer whale
“Why is this so
hard to manifest my dreams into reality?”
“When will I make
a living,” Sade keeps her excited and focused
Collaborations and
more collaborations and still no reciprocity
Generosity and
kindness becomes her therapy
20 YouTube
channels, 8 instagrams, 35 blogs and countless spiritual businesses where all
creative content is given for free
She thinks if I
can’t be in the fullness of my creative destiny at least I can help others
Writings over
years are page 1,000 then 2,000
Like J. k. Rowling
with 1,000 original songs challenged completed in less then a year
The journey is
exalting and the beauty is intensely radiant
She never decided
to numb out the way some do and give into worldly imitations
She is a firebird,
phoenix
She is a
ophiuchus, a zodiac sign to a new paradigm
She is the healer
raising the vibrational higher like when airplanes became rockets
She never lets
dyslexia discourage the dreamer
She is a medicine
woman
It’s in her
Cherokee, African American and Spaniard blood to be a Phoenix
She knows voyages
towards greatness and destruction and victories for warriors
She knows the
North Star
She knows the
Trail of Tears
She knows the
Spaniard conquering indigenous people
The polarity isn’t
her enemy
It is her teacher
and she loves to learn
Her most magical
collection of numbers are 11:11 because it signifies that the divine has her
back
There she flies
above the crows, untouched by the crows who cannot fly altitudes she can
Her individuality
sought to change the ancestral pattern, epigenetic cycle, neurological habit
and generational model
By seeing if it’s
possible to transforming dreams of a child into realities of existence
For consciousness
to marvel at human excellence shaping creeks of energy into rivers of glorious
openings
There she goes
A soulful
intelligence potentiating her human existence further into brilliance like a
Renaissance
Play with the
Funky
When the
seriousness of self criticism starts to play with the mystery a joyous moment
of compassion, connection and creativity emerges like a deer alone by the river
mending its wounds and then is sighted in the meadow mysterious healed
There are some mysterious
we will never know
We could spend a
thousand lifetimes trying to know to end up just wanting to play
Improvisation is
the adults way of relearning the childlike mind before boxes, labels and
shelves began to organize, categorize and group
A child doesn’t
know black friend vs white friend until long enough witnessing of parents
conforms the identity making it worldly instead of funky, groovy and
fantastical
It’s outstanding
to be worldly but without play there isn’t connection just consumption of ideas,
beliefs and cultures that don’t impact the heart gorgeously
The greatest
Renaissance is an act of playing with the universe
“Hmmm…let’s call
that distant planet Saturn and we’re call this ocean the Atlantic as a reminder
of Atlantis”
Heaviness of this world
doesn’t lift off until there is a certain amount of pressure like rocket fire
to a massive ship
Cold plunge is a
release of deep body trauma
A different kind
of pressure applied to a continuous pressure that be trauma melts it down and
reshapes it
I imagine the
process to be raku that applies great heat and great cooling to glint, gleam,
twinkle and glow pottery
Or the Chinese
practice of putting liquid gold into cracks in ceramic cups that solidify as a
kind of reminder that beauty lies in the cracks and breaks of our lives
We can turn
something fragmented and disjointed into something uniquely funky
Human is an art
studio with infinite materials, techniques and practices
All we must do is
show up and follow what inspires us
Teachers come and
go on our journey of revolving like the sun and moon
Inspiration is a
spirit trail we do not see but sense
It guides us
towards new levels of self love and gives us new materials, techniques and
practices to perfect the human expression
Criticism is a
breakthrough and when it is a destroyer of human potential then it isn’t true
to human progress
Play keeps the
mind truthful to the dignified universe
Like checks and
balances, play ensures human is funky, fantastical and fearless with honesty of
the now
There is an art
studio, a blues room waiting for you to play with
What’s stopping
you?
Is it your
obsession with control?
Is it your
constant negative attitude?
Is it your lack of
self love?
Is it your fear of
the unknown?
You will fall
You will rise
Your a baby eagle
learning how to fly
It’s your play
that keeps you grateful you have another chance after chance to see if your
wings are strong enough to jump off a tree of great heights
When human like
the deer takes themselves to the river of consciousness to heal
One returns to the
studio, the blues room with confidence towards the great mystery
How to Love
Yourself
There is a
fearless person with a creative vision for personal Renaissance waiting inside
the depths of our being
First comes a
feeling, then comes a knowing and afterwards a drive
Many times the
initial feeling is cloaked in doubt and uncertainty
The journey is
rigorous and the cycles of birth and death are wildly unpredictable and out of
comfort
Versions of
ourselves based on familiarity is challenged by our creative vision
We must embark
upon a visionary quest to retrieve something that is special to us, an essence,
a joy, a capturing of that feeling that brings us into the know
We know there is
more, more energy, more creativity, more love, more abundance because we are
infinitely wanting to be ourselves in the immensity of personal freedom and
love
Nature calls to us
in the silence where bird songs and rustling leaves can be heard profoundly
When we begin to
process the stuff that ain’t us nature becomes our practice
When we start to
embody what is us nature is our mirror
There is
frustration, anger and judgment we work through in the labor of creating our
first crop
We want perfection
We want
predictability
We want safety
above all things
What we get is
growth in the rise and fall of hummingbird flower
Magnetism, beauty
and radiance unravels us in the subtle light that begins to crack open our
heart and inspire our mind
There is fierce,
bold and graceful actions in uncovering reality for what it is and not the
distortion coming from our unconscious unresolved
Responsibility for
our thoughts and projections works into intentions for manifestation and
progress
Positive
affirmation and mirror exercises gifts us tools for dealing with the
difficulties of patterns, cycles, memories and behaviors that drain our energy
and confuse our creative vision
Strength training
and character development are Saturn teachers that bring so much excitement,
purpose and focus
We begin to see
the diamond inside the mountain of our circumstances and environments
Lessons, tests and
assignments are given to refine our sublime and help us remember our nature and
perverse what is true, love and freedom
It’s our creative
vision that heals us to the most
It’s the creative
spark that gives us brilliant perspectives
It’s our
willingness to eliminate the excess, junk and miscellaneous for open space that
allows us creative fearlessness
One step at a time
we build our unique temple for us to exist in and share with others
It’s a prayer, a
haven, a refuge, a sanctuary, a school and playground, an art studio, a blues
room, a library, an herbal garden we made our of our creative niches and free
falling arrivals at the place we call spectacular mundane
Wisdom of the sage
is as simple as breathing with chakras spiraling, whirling, aligning,
amplifying, expanding in the twirl of our laughter showcasing our exuberant
resilience
“You manifest not
what you want but what you believe,” Alicia Keys
How to believe in
yourself when it appears no one believes in you
Dreamers are
challenged by worldly habits
Visionaries must
embrace the difficulties of personal Renaissance by welcoming the practice of
virtue
There are solitary
long periods to discover what is real to your soul and what is transferred to
you from someone else
“You are in the
world but not of the world” relaxes all thoughts by reassuring them that
everything in the world exists because someone brought it into existence
therefore it can be changed
Everything in the
world wants to be vital, close to nature and in harmony with a generous flow
When someone is
intimately connected to Gaia there is rich nourishment continuously pouring
through a persons’ embodiment
Dreamers and
visionaries are weavers weaving human beings back into Gaia by offering
exciting adventures of human progress in the ecstatic artistry
There is thrill,
enchantment, wonder and inner strength that comes from a dreamer and visionary
At first people
won’t understand the wild unknown journey a creative must take to evolve
themselves beyond parental, society and worldly conditions, cycles, beliefs and
patterns for the soul to blossom free and wildly unique to its cosmic seed
There are like
minded people like a pod a belugas destined to find each other for growth,
expansion, healing and love
In order to find
our soul team, we must find our soul in the authentic living of our creative
Destiny in glorious pursuits of personal excellence
There is
amplification of our creative destiny surrounded by a team of vibrationally in
synch companions driven to turn pain into purpose
All the distorted
realities, negative junk in the mind, self hate and low energy must be
processed and eliminated in the fire of the phoenix
Not everyone is a
phoenix and yet everyone has the potential
The phoenix is
what we become when challenges have been met with great self love, confidence
and positive momentum towards being devoted to our soulful craftsmanship
“Never allow the
world to turn you against your playful heart. All you are is what’s left in
your heart,” Jim Carrey
Taking risks is
all the human knows
We are exceptional
at evolving our risk taking and challenging our limitation
Our imagination is
supreme and our drive for excellence is paramount
The spiritual
being having a physical experience chose Earth to share its authentic living
but the tricky part is once we pass through the grid of the world we have
amnesia and forget our authentic true nature
We take on our
parents, grandparents, society and ideology mind matrix and that many times
overrides our innate mind creatrix that comes with us wherever we go life to
life
It’s our
evolutionary blueprint and spectacular mandala we made out of a thousand lives
and a thousand unique expressions
The goal is to get
back to that version of ourselves and the tool is creativity
We follow the
Renaissance because we know there are people with gifts and talents awakening
that can help ignite our own spark of creativity reinvention, reformation,
repair and renewal to our bird once in a cage and now is free but doesn’t know
how to be wild in a harmonious way because the mind only knows the comforts,
safety and fear disguised as practicality inside the cage
It’s the risk we
take like a bird leaping into the sky that gives us purpose and a sense of
mission
Watching a Raven
soar, wings open, diving down then opening wings back up in a jet 180 rotation
is an evolutionary progress
Everything in the
wild watches, listens and tests their potential to discover new wonders to the
animal expression
We are in constant
Renaissance with the cosmos
We just forget and
think we’re just here to follow foot steps laid out
We are point in
human history that decides to reprogram authentic living back into the matrix
The greatest
challenge, wildest ride, empirical character development and exuberant bird
call to the wild things waiting silently just to hear our sound be carried
throughout the forest by treetops taking us in
A Special Kind of
Youth
There is a special
kind of youth untouched by the struggles of human condition when the mind is
soft and the senses are vivid
Survivor mode
comes like a distant storm at sea slowly reaching the shore completely changing
the outer landscape
The inner
landscape tries to hold onto a special kind of youth where authentic bonding is
soul talking but the damage from the sudden thrust into human conditions shocks
the system and swallows up a special kind of youth
There are those of
us who excavate the most precious and ancient treasures, a special kind of
youth
There are others
of us who give into worldly conditions because it seems more convenient, less
complicated and yet the body and mind is beaten down trying to climb up a
waterfall to reach a castle in the sky
When really it’s
the rapids swallowing us up that resuscitates our heart
The body never
ages when a special kind of youth keeps nurturing the inner landscape of the
mind like a gardener taking care of his land growing new species of plants and
evolving his/her understanding of herbs, flowers, animals and insects
The adult rigidity
assumes “if I conquer worldly conditions and control the mystery, I’ll never
have to endure the challenge of mystery again”
He/she can’t climb
the waterfall so he/she blocks the river that creates the waterfall
At first, it’s
great to live in a castle in the sky consuming nature and replacing childlike
wonders with empirical obtainments until the rigidity of superficiality
underestimates and even belittles simplicity of heart
That’s when the
castle in the sky lacks proper nourishment, a kind of special youth to keep the
harmony and connectivity consistent to the universe of spiritual beings having
physical experiences
Lost in a castle
of obtainments there is no obtainments that truly matter because nature has
been excluded for the exclusivity of the castle in the sky
In the earth
shattering mid life crisis the castle breaks and falls a part for what lies
underneath to unveil its mystery
There is dirt
slowly turning back into soil and seeds blowing in the wind awaiting the
arrival of a special kind of youth to plant them and grow back the waterfall
which gives strategy to the human condition and how to endure the polarity of
man without needing to cage oneself for a pretend sense of safety
Safety comes from
the inner landscape and the inner gardener who is determined to grow crop in
the most troublesome environments like terraforming a planet seen to just be a
pile of rock, devoid of life
Earth found a way
to survive and thrive with a special kind of youth perfectly preserved in the
mending of scars
A Bird Calls out
to the Wild
There are some of
us who know the untold secret that kindred connections are very much real and
worth finding
The chase has
always been to satisfy the ego, at first
Then, there is a
feeling of more
The soul cannot be
fully satisfied in the mind
It needs the
wonders of a mysterious heart to inspire the Destiny
The soul mate is
only discovered in the mating with our own soul in the jazz of learning how to
find a special kind of youth in the mundane
Lessons of growth
come to evolve our intelligence so that we can not just fit into the world but
fit into our unique human design, which isn’t human
It’s part human
and mostly something else
Searching for our
puzzle pieces in romantic connections, friendships and strong bonds we start to
remember a human design so indifferent from the human conditions structuring
our humanness for us and yet feels like home
Sometimes in order
to find home we must leave home in quest of more before we truly understand
home in a mating with our soul in the land that calls to us, in the people who
show us a special kind of youth and the conscious choice to act from the
Renaissance and not from the worldly trance we fall into when quality is
compromised for vanity and vanity lacks consciousness
We’re all
pondering on how far we’re willing to go on this journey of creative progress
As high as we go
is as low we must go like a tree and the bees being able to see ultra violet
show us how to train our senses to turn carbon in the exhale into oxygen in the
inhale
Lover’s connection
is a course of alchemy and soul mating being the greatest understanding of how
people rewrite a story, reimagine a reality and rework themselves better in the
refinement of revitalization
Until, the mating
of soul happens the mind isn’t fully in synch with the timeless jazz and uses
partners to remember how to play the piano of infinite potential
Then, in the timeless
sound like a perfected bird call does it’s like-vibration recognize not our
physical form but our soul’s signature marking the body with a special kind of
timeless glow only bees can see but we can feel
Who is John Mayer?
Sensible like a forest
creating new spaces for new trees
Playful like
dolphins riding waves
There is a search
for creative excellence and individuality that is ever changing through
reinventions, insightful perceptions and exalting intentions
Misunderstood like
Renaissance pioneers and yet respected for heartfelt gestures of spiritual
growth in a world that sometimes takes one very far from the heart
An alchemist
turning a guitar into song birds, vibrations as soothing sensations
Bluesy like a
black man from a past life transforming suffering into finer Destiny
Hawk pendant
around his neck for the medicine man who knows Earth closely and can speak
brilliance into existence
Spiritual Being
observing human relationship and wondering why people hide their light
Loving himself
deeper for there cannot be a true love connection without being whole within
your own journey
Visionary quests
take him to places and spaces of human progress where laughter is silly and
talks are serious, sincere yet fun like Robin Williams
Wanting to fall in
love like “When Harry Met Sally”
Where attraction
is spontaneous, when talking never stops and the journey seems wild,
challenging enough to get you to see what you’re truly worthy of
Friendship is a
kind of friction that ignites a fire for wilder adventures that take away
comfort zones and build inner stability
Having a romantic
companion isn’t transnational, conditional and belief system based
There is
reciprocity from expanding individuality through creative fulfillment that
bonds with the other in multi-dimensional ways that evolves the mind, emotions
and soul into a finer alchemy of color and rhythm
Wanting to explore
the many versions of himself in the timeless novel of his grand piano
There are thoughts
shared in the sacred tepee of man and woman learning from each other how to be
in harmony with the universe
Purifying together
in the lodge of sweating skin in hopes of learning difficult lessons that take
the strength of Bisons in the storm to resolve
Maverick evoking
expression is like a Prince concert where stream of consciousness has no end
and no beginning
It just wants to
honor devotion the human body has naturally to the bigger than life old soul
Innovation keeps
the mind healthy by evolving its assumptions, distorted realities into
meditation
Awareness comes in
the non linear and returns to linear with a feeling of something universal
inside duality
Many people want
something outside themselves to be a part of themselves to feel better about
themselves
Completion is
pursuing yourself totally
Until all the
fragments, disconnections, traumas and distortions repair, restore the
powerhouse manifestor with a visionary intention to contribute to the human
renaissance in essence, in structure, in habit, in attitude, in virtue, in
progress, in discovery, in adventure, in education, in dedication, in reality
surfing
What is a
Renaissance Partner
Creative Destiny
is the goal
Evolutionary necessity
puts us into positions of alchemy for the genetic equations to be improved and
refined
Nature summons us
into an indigenous ceremony with our soul to retrieve the gifts that deepen our
breath
Always innovating
and caretaking, we are constant consciousness looking inward at the inner
landscape perfecting the improvisation of human expression
Kindred connection
is a like vibration mirroring to us a fearless play and healer’s journey
The beloved holds
space for us to understand our authentic rhythm and encourages personal
Renaissance in the wilderness of an art studio built by the universe just for
our human progress, experimentation and self inquiry
Creative
excellence is a individuality so in synch with interdependence, a maverick
majestic meeting of minds unlocks
Soul mating is
soothing, relaxing and comforting
The warrior heart
of bright red blooms into brilliant green transforming our fears and traumas
into Phoenix of fire blue
When we find our
Renaissance partner there is melodic thunder and striking lightning as the
imagination and practicality emerge into a reality of legacy and lineage
colliding into a labor for the orchard
Self love and
intimacy of self join the kindred lover in an abstract play and fearless
intention to grow sincerity in the waters of our shifting emotions for passion
to be childlike wisdom and elder enthusiasm
A Renaissance
partner is an art teacher and science student on a quest for sincere friendship
with Mother Earth and breathtaking moments of breakthrough
There is laughter,
silliness, goofy pleasure and fantastical mundane in the closeness of moving
hearts when the head isn’t stopping the ecstatic progression
Compositions of
fun loving adventures fulfill the radiant reality pushing pains and suffering
into diamond awareness of how special the other is and how the past is a school
Rough, tough and
tumbling, we learn to be blues to the sorrows and jazz to the reinvention
In all the
endings, failings and disappointment, the inner landscape still remains open to
reality composing
Evolving the
understanding of self, love and sincere partnership is the greatest purpose and
spectacular magnetism that brings us, if we’re patient enough, a lover of
Renaissance to support our authentic being and to satisfy the desire to
experience the most sincere and authentic kind of creative, brilliant and soul
nourishing love with another and have the success of our artistic reality bring
us closer to our gorgeous refined embodiment
