Exodus from the Cave

We step into the light naked and shivering

not from the cold

not from nakedness

from truth

from beauty

trembling in realization

Note to us.

Hello,

Stare deep and tell me you are real.

I will do the same.

It is not intoxication.
Just awareness.

Just a clear head and open eyes.

The depth of what we are we pour into one another.

We give of ourselves secure in being faulty.

Simplicity

As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness. - Thoreau

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction. - Einstein  

Apache Blessing

May the sun
Bring you new energy by day,
May the moon
softly restore you by night,
May the rain
wash away your worries,
May the breeze
blow new strength into your being.
May you walk
gently through the world and know
its beauty all the days of your life.

I encourage everyone to walk with me.

Occasionally I stumble. We all do. We trip and fall. 

The ability to walk is gained through effort and dedication. It requires practice and perseverance. The child continues to get back up. It stands again. It has the courage to take another step and faith that steps will be.

The act of loving is the same. We are not born proficient in loving. We must strive daily to master this Art.

I have stumbled. But I will continue to stand and step. 

Here we are.
