The earth is alive and humming with beauty. The air pulses with inspiration. The sun beams warmth upon us all. The sky is spacious and the waters flow to cleanse and nurture. This is a space that allows me to share the things that move and inspire me. I am here with an open mind and an even more open heart.

May this offering fill you with light
May it bring warmth to your heart
and clarity to confusion
May the simplicity of life's true gifts
bring joy to your spirit
Love, Sa

Today I was blessed to spend time with a beautiful young indigenous man. The gift that came through for him is one I wish to share with you also, for in the Oneness, it is for us all. It has been altered only slightly for you.

Connect with the land - the land is sacred.

Child of the earth, connect with the Spirit of the land, the Spirit of the earth.
She is the Mother. We are all her children.
She does not belong to us.
We belong to Her.

When pain or grief, fear or confusion arises - give it to the Mother and she will turn it into good earth.

When anger comes up do not waste it.
Ask what it has come to teach you and hear the answer.
Accept into your life the teaching that is offered.

Now you can gift the experience with all its energy to the Spirit of Fire. It will be transformed into light.
The Spirit of the land will take the cold embers and turn them into good earth. Making you strong.
The Spirit of air and wind will blow fiercely for you and sweep away the ashes of regret. Liberating you.
The Spirit of Water will flow for you, washing and cleansing the place where the anger once lived in you.

...... and now you are free.

Creator Creating Creation

Everything and everyone outside of me is a creation of mine.
I have created my world perfectly.
I have created every circumstance, every person, every thing and every experience in my world as the most suitable and powerful way of bringing myself back into wholeness.
I am the creator of every aspect of my world.
I am also the creation.
I am creating my world through the choices I make moment by moment.

My subconscious is bringing up all the lies I have accepted as my truth –
The lie that I have chosen the wrong circumstances and teachers.
The lie that I am a victim.
The lie that anything in my life is not acceptable.
The lie that life would be better if I had made different choices.

My life could not hold more potential for healing and growth than it does in this moment, this very moment.

My dreams are my subconscious informing my conscious about the things I have previously accepted as my truth. This false premise was the foundation upon which I created all my experiences.
I see this and now I am at the moment of power.
I can see my programs and patterns. I can see my unconscious behaviours and beliefs. I have clarity.
I see something else too.
I either have the life I wish to create
Or I have all the reasons why I cannot create the life I want.
I cannot have both.

So I now offer gratitude for the lesson of empowerment and accept that I have an opportunity to step more fully into my true self.
My creator self.

I know it is a very big thing to step into my creator self.
It means taking complete responsibility for all of my thoughts, feelings and choices.
I know I can create moment by moment a new way of living in this world.
As I create in alignment with the energies of love, peace and harmony, this is the new world I will be creating for myself and for all my brothers and sisters to share in.

I see now that we are all one.
Those I consider my brothers and sisters, are in truth, my other selves.
In lak’ech. I am another yourself.
As I do for me, I do for all the myselves outside of me.
As I do for others, I do for myself.
For we are all one. No separation. Just One.

Aching to be Seen

Do you know that deep within you there is something exquisitely lovely for you to discover.
It is You.
The you that you are aching for
Is aching to be seen.

Your preciousness, aching to be seen.

Emptying Out

I was contemplating the energy of anger. The anger I have experienced in my life and the anger I see in our brothers and sisters. The anger that creates dissonance and war in our world.
As I pondered upon my journey with anger, there was a moment of clarity ignited by the realization that here within me is emptiness and in this emptiness I hold the sum of my past and past conditionings. The heaviness of those thoughts, beliefs and emotions I have collected and held onto is what fills the emptiness.

Into the emptiness that remains, that is not occupied by my heaviness, there the Divine flows through as a blessing of joy and truth, love and compassion.

So where once I was angry about so many things about myself and my life, it was simply anger present in the emptiness. Triggered all too easily. I used to walk my life with a lot of heaviness. There was not much space for the Divine to flow through me. The heaviness that filled my emptiness was a whole lot of anger, grief, resentment, guilt and shame, blame and self-loathing. This is what used to fill me, this was what I used to walk upon this sweet earth with. This was what I held onto, unaware of the impact I was having upon my brothers and sisters and my beloved Pachamama. I had buried it all so deep, I was not even conscious of it. Until I began my journey of healing.

For us all, our journey of healing is simply an emptying out of all the heaviness we have collected up, until all that is left is emptiness. Then, into that emptiness the Divine Presence can be felt. Then we come to a place where Spirit lives within us, outside of us, lives through us and as us.

This is our journey and for some of us we choose not to complete our conscious union with Spirit in this lifetime.

My intent and prayer is to achieve that Divine state of freedom and joy in this life. I know this is the only way I can truly assist my bothers and sisters who also hold the same heart prayer.

I live in service to the Divine in us all. I invite you to share this journey with me.

Allow

Allow yourself to be. Shine the light on all the choices you are making that hold you back from what you dream of, from what you yearn for. You may think that you have no choice, but in the perception that there is no choice, realize that too is a choice.

There is either allowing or resistance. If you are not creating what you desire, then there is an absence of allowing, there is a resistance to that which you say you want. This may sound simplistic to you, but it will be the mind that makes this judgement call. The mind that likes complications and calls it by other names, the mind that likes drama and calls it by other names, the mind that keeps you imprisoned but convinces you that it is keeping you safe. I know this mind within myself, I watch its many manipulations and I am learning to laugh at its antics. It is gradually performing less and becoming more useful as I learn to witness and accept, as I learn to not identify with or embrace its sometimes very convoluted reasoning.

Let go dear one, let go of your attachments to past experiences or to future wonderings, wanderings or longings. Allow each moment of the now to present you with what needs to be addressed in this particular moment. It could be that some emotional issue from the past uprises to be loved, to be accepted and then most importantly to be set free. However, if you go digging into the past for things that are not ready to be released, you will find that what comes up is only what you “think” is the issue. The truth of it still remains hidden. Know that what you wish to release will come up when it is ready to. Allow the space for it and the journey will be rich with gifts.

Regardless of what your experience is, every choice you make is perfect for that moment, however, it becomes much more empowered when you bring consciousness to it.

Eventually all roads lead to wholeness, to oneness. Some roads are long and fraught with travail, others are short, straight, easy. We choose the road.

Enlightenment is only available in the PRESENT MOMENT. You cannot be enlightened yesterday, you only thought you were. You cannot be enlightened tomorrow, you only hope to be. Today, now, this moment holds the sweet potential in which to awaken. So awaken dear one, become fully present to yourself, to the sky, to the trees, to the children, to the Mother, to your breath, to both your inner and outer worlds.

In this moment, become present, hear your breath, feel the air upon your skin, look and see the beauty that surrounds you, it is everywhere. Be with all that is with you in this moment.

You can experience our world as pain filled or beauty filled. It truly is your choice. Isn't that wonderful? To know that you have that power, to choose what you experience in this moment? The pain may be present, but if you identify with pain, it becomes unbearable.

Beauty is always present, if you identify with beauty, it will be unbearable when you stop seeing it.

Just notice all that is within and without. Your moments will settle into a wondrous journey filled with awe, with beauty, with Presence, with love, with compassion, with peace, with laughter, with joy.

Hope is a yearning for something in the future.
I do not wish you the experience of hope. I wish you the experience of all that is the present moment. It is the only moment that exists, all else has gone or yet to be, all else is illusion.

I care deeply for you dear one. I love you. Love yourself enough to emerge, to be birthed into the present moment.

Conscious and Unconscious Choice

I was driving home recently after a very pleasant visit with my sister. It was late at night. It had rained often in the past few weeks and the air was clean and fresh. I noticed how brightly the street lights lit up the space I was driving through. There I was, moving effortlessly through normally traffic congested streets of people hurrying to places of importance to them. This night, the quiet of the streets was broken only by the odd night owl like me, going home to love, or perhaps beckoned by some other experience.

The lights smiled a green go ahead for me, again and yet again. The road looked like a smooth river of black water. I sailed quietly, effortless and unhindered.

Then something changed and the street disappeared, as did my car, as did myself.

Some while later, linearly some minutes further along, I emerged into the light of the world I occupy. There I was back on a brightly lit street, a little closer to my destination.
Everything looked the same - I was changed.

I woke to the realization that my oh so mundane, ordinary and at times boring thoughts had managed to thoughtnap me out of the black river I was enjoying and into some foggy uneventful "other" space so thoroughly, I had no experiential recollection of the distance I had covered during that non-event.

Of course this has happened before, time and again. Others have told me that it happens to them too.

However, I paid very little attention to those lost spaces in my life. Even when I have noticed the experience, I would allow myself to be dropped back into the world of my inane thoughts. I was losing so very much of my life's time and completely unaware of the choice that was always available to me.

This night I did something differently. I chose to reconnect with the brightly lit black river, the quietness of the world around me, the crisp clear air I was sailing through and the feeling of freedom and well-being that sung in my cells.

A conscious choice to become present and stay present. I realized that I was making choices all the time. It was my choice that took me out of the present and into the constantly buzzing world of my mind. Yes, the choice was unconscious, nevertheless it was a choice.

I say I want to live as a conscious being, yet for lengthy periods of time, I disappear out of the present moment taken away by an unconscious choice.

How wonderful to know that I can transform my unconscious choices into conscious choices through practice. In so doing, if I choose to, consciously, I can make this present moment my permanent home, using my mind to enhance my life rather than pull me out of it.

The only place one can experience liberation is in the present moment. I am here in this moment because I choose to be. Welcome to the present.

Truth

Truth? What is truth?
How can we possibly define truth without making a personal appearance somewhere in that definition. So if we find ourselves in some way inside of this – then all that we can offer is our perception of what truth is.

If you and I and another were to go out for a meal and make identical choices from the menu. Would we have identical experiences of that meal? If we were to each describe the food that was presented – would we describe it in the same way? Is it true that the meal was excellent or mediocre. Is it true that there was too much salt or too little. Is it true that the food was too spicy or not tasty enough. If our experiences and our description of that meal varies, then which one of us is telling the truth?
Or, do we ask who speaks the greater truth. Or even, what is the truth here.

It is interesting to contemplate whether or not there is any such thing as a separate and abiding, across the board, ultimate one and only truth. If we consider the theory of quantum physics, then by our very attention, that which we are looking at alters to fit the way in which we perceive it.

Each one of us experiences the truth through the lenses of our personal perception. This is governed by the belief systems we have accepted and embraced in our lives as fundamental informing principles on how to perceive ourselves, our lives and everything and everyone in our world. We then create according to this personal perception.

So yes, truth is beyond the world of opposites. Truth as we see it is neither right nor wrong, true nor false, neither real nor illusion. It is all of these things, and it is dependent on the beholder who is informed by his or her way of perceiving.

If I state that something is true, all I am saying is that the way in which somebody else perceives matches my way of perceiving the same object/subject/experience. Equally, if I state something is not true, it simply implies that his/her way of perceiving does not match mine. And............ I want to be right, therefore mine is the truth.

Is it truth to say that darkness is an absence of light or is it truth to say that light dispels the darkness. Or is it truth that each of these is saying the same thing. Or is it truth that each of these statements is truth.

If there is an ultimate truth outside of our own frame of referencing, our own ways of perceiving – then that could possibly be that there is nothing that is real, that everything is an illusion.
That all is a cosmic dance of light and dark, sound and silence weaving in and out of creation, eternal and infinite.
And..................... whatever we perceive as being true in the one moment will return to the dance and be rebirthed as something new in the next.

Is this truth? Perhaps it is -------------- or maybe not.

Look to See

When I stop a moment from my endless busyness and open my eyes and look, I see the heart warming beauty of the natural world. My heart opens with love and gratitude. I am ignited with the knowing that the beauty I perceive outside of me, is the same beauty that lives inside of me. I am comforted and expanded.

When I look at anyone, a friend or a stranger, I see that their pain hides them from seeing the love that they are and my heart opens with love and in seeing them as love I know that one day soon they will remember and see themselves as love.

Perhaps the only discipline you need to embrace is to look for the love in everyone and everything. When you look for it – you will find it. When you find it, remember then that the love you see outside of you is the flowering of the love within you.

Enjoy your blossoming and don’t be so hard on yourself. Your only purpose is to blossom into your full potential and love is the way to that.

Light

What do I do? I asked
Surrender! She said
How do I do that? I asked
Surrender! She said
…and I did

I saw that I had died
My lifeless body lying upon spaciousness
surrounded by spaciousness
I saw my head beginning to be ripped apart
piece by tiny piece
Sharp, electric, excruciating
No!
I resisted my disintegration
and came up against the agonising stoniness of myself

Then something called to me
Look!
I ceased to struggle. I looked
I saw that pieces of me were ripping away
disintegrating into the light and spaciousness that surrounded me
I saw that what was left inside me was
Nothing. Nothing!
No thing
No thing at all

Just light

I had yearned to be one with the light
I had prayed to be filled with light
For long this has been my longing

I now saw that I always was
what I hungered for
I had imprisoned the light within myself
with the density of my pain
with my resistances to life itself

Dammed up against the allowing.
…… and so the light within me
was separated from the light without.

I said, “show me, and she did.
“Show me again” and she did
and I saw
and I laughed.
“show me again”
and the light was set free and was One again

And I looked around me and I saw there was Nothing in everything
Nothing was everywhere
And I laughed
Everything had great nothing inside
Not a thing
Just light
I learned that I cannot die
There is no death.
Only light, only life
Always and ever
only light, only life

Symphony of Love

Spaciousness moves the last of the density of my body, cells, atoms
in a dance of Grace
A symphony of harmony and flow
in the very moment
when I bring myself
into love

The Dance of Grace

All philosophies, religions, belief systems - all
These are not the destination
not the “Way” nor the “Gateway”
to connection with the Divine

These are but ushers

This precious, luminous moment
This present moment
This is the doorway
The entrance to entrancement with Spirit

This way, come
Come into presence with this moment

…and I come

Come beloved
Come into the spaciousness
Be blessed by the Grace
Bathe in the beauty of everything
that contains no thing

…and I come

… and I find

It is all just Grace dancing the dance of Grace.

…and I dance

I allow Grace to dance the dance of Grace through me

and

I am deliciously surprised by the unfoldment of my elegant experience

Eagle Blessing

I woke up one morning
Beside myself
Unable to come into alignment or attunement
Life out of balance
Contracted
In pain
Expressing discordance

I looked up into the blue sky
I was not present
Till you flew into my vision
Demanding my attention
With your Grace
and your commanding presence

You called me into alignment
I, pitiful creature
But wise enough to surrender
I attuned with you
and I remembered

I whispered “thank you
Great eagle
Spirit’s messenger
Thank you great one”

You saved me
You reconnected me
You showed me who I was

I climbed out of my suffering
I rose above my limitations
I flew beyond my mind’s illusions
I soared up into the blue with you

Into the lightness of my being

Soul path

What is my soul’s path?

Is it the commitment to be of service
Is it the choice to treat every living being with loving kindness
Is it the intention to live the way of peace
Is it to live life as a prayer
Is it the living of every moment at it's highest potential
Is it to be love, to live life as the expression of love

What it is not
is anything that can be taken away from me

Life

Everything is life –
Everything.

Teeming – rich – beautiful – luminous - flowing – colourful – hot – sweet – sour – bitter – warming – cooling – spacious – comforting – verdant – rejuvenating – transforming – changing – expressing – light – dark – shadow – me – you – everything - nothing

Shhhhhhh!
sometimes there seems to be a pause -

then it seems that life surges up once again in its sumptuous abundant fullness and continues eternally

The dance of Grace dancing the space

Living easy
When I align my presence with Presence
I find pure attunement with Divine Will
Living life is easy here
Living life is safe here
This is where I can rest
In the heart of the Beloved

In Lak'ech

In Lak’ech – I am another yourself

I am another yourself

I shut off to you
I alienate myself

I hold unlovingness with you
and my harshness wounds me

You are sad, I hold you in my heart
my pain is eased

You need a hug
my warm embrace reminds me
how beautiful it is to be held
Divine One,
help me open my heart
I long to dance my soul
in this temple of Grace
that is my life

Teach me to be more generous with myself
offering you love in abundance

The love I give to you
is the love that will give me
back to myself

We are one. You and I. We are One.

Only One

There is only One

All that I see and hear, taste and feel and touch
All blessed Divine effervescent expressions of One
Ah, there you, I see you, sitting at the bus stop
You think I am a stranger
you have forgotten me
I will remember for us both
I am One with you
You are One with me
We are One

There you are again, crying in your cradle
And there you are picking you up
Holding you, comforting you
Blessed baby, Blessed mother
You are One

Sad faced lonely one, caught in the illusion of separation
You see no one there for you, no one with you
You hunger for company
You believe yourself lost
If only you could see the One that you are

Laughing kookaburra, you know you are One
Happy being, living the joy of living as One

Busy little bee, making honey from the One for the One

Tall sentinel
beautiful gum tree rooted to mother Earth
your crowning glory of leaves
whispering the message of the breeze
we are One, we are all One

I see you at the bus stop and there I am
I see you crying in your pram and there I am
I am the comforting mother
the lonely soul
the laughing kookaburra

I am the busy little bee, humming the song of life
whispering my breezy message as I dance through the leaves
of the tree I am
that is reaching through my roots to the heart of the Earth,
I am

Bright open sky reflecting the big blue water, I am

I am everywhere

Ah there you are, I am
…..your eyes, my eyes upon these words,
here we are together, One

The Dance of Freedom

And I am free
As the movement flows through me
And the motion is me.

I feel the energy of the universe
envelop, penetrate, overwhelm

and I am free

I am the universal energy
It is me, I am it
and I am free

I whisper and I am the evening breeze
I sway, I am the willow tree
I leap as one with the gazelle
I fall, I am the autumn leaf
I scream, I howl and I am a gale
I cry, and I am the falling rain

And my heart is my earth’s core
My soul soars to the heavens

I am all
And all is mine
For ever more
I am the dance

The dance is free
And free is me

Mellow

Mellow, so mellow
I’m bathed in the glow
Of this golden afternoon
So soft, so warm it’s tone

There is cream in the gold
As the day unfolds
Gentle and slow
With it I flow

Towards the close of the day
And that last brilliant ray
And as the sun goes down
I will be reborn

With the silvery moon beams
That bring sweet dreams
Of a day that was slow
And sweet, and mellow

Numinous dream

On wings of light I soar
Lustrous
through star studded velvet lapis heavens
Shimmering colour and sound
A harmonic hum encompassing all that is
I do not wonder about anything
I am wonder
I long for nothing
I am fulfillment
My stellar journey has no direction
I am everywhere and ever here
nowhere and now here
On wings of light I soar
Awareness resonating
Lighting all darkness, all is revealed to me
In resplendent beauty, benign being of grace

Power filled, yet I know it not
For I am “knowing”
Blessed I am, for I am “blessing”

I have no “I”dentity
For I am all
Limitless, eternal

I open my eyes as the sun kisses me awake
I open my arms and embrace the warmth
I open my heart and experience my essence
I open my mind to grasp
and its going, now gone.

I remain behind
Laying beside the ecstasy of my ethereal dreaming

I was awake and "I" awakened
I forget and "I" am forgotten

I rise to begin my day
Smiling in the sun’s golden rays
Carrying the essence of my being

Not knowing I am forever changed

Being

I sit in stillness.
My body in comfort
Allowing the awareness of every part of me
Moving through, feeling my heart beat
The air upon my skin
Breathing deep, breathing long
Blood coursing through the channels
Energy pulsing through

Moving through the mind
watching random thoughts flit by
Now coming. Now going

Awareness heightened
Moving beyond
to the sound around me
Now close. Now further away. Now distant
Now a hum

And further beyond this

To the awareness of everything

To the awareness of No-thing

To the state of simply Be-ing

Shadow

If we were to look at shadow from a compassionate heart
without fear
with non-judgemental understanding
with loving kindness
perhaps we would see this :

the shadow aspects of ourselves
are the spaces left without light
where pieces of ourselves took flight
when things were either too dangerous
or too painful for us to deal with

Perhaps we were but children when this happened?

Love

How do I know what love is?

When I love you with my body –
I like the way you look, your hair, your clothes
do you think I am beautiful
am I too fat, too thin
wear something else
you need me to look this way
so you can feel proud of me
I need to show you off
Is this love?

When I love you with my feelings -
I need you to tell me you love me
show me you love me
your jealousy flatters me
I need to hold you and show you I love you
I enjoy your passion and I want you to remember
You are mine
You are mine and I am yours
Is this love?

When I love you with my mind –
Ah, but I love your mind, so sharp
Intelligence reflected
We laugh at my wittiness
and admire your cleverness
Our conversations brilliant
talked into the night
and the next and the next
and it becomes harder
to keep each other entertained
and intrigued
we create scenes and dramas
caught in the web of our complicated simple minds
Is this love?

When I love you with my spirit –
I see that you and I are one
We are made from the same Divine substance
the essential nature of all creation
I feel this essence in me in you
It whispers through my cells and echoes through you
It dances through my light creating shadows around you
It caresses my darkness with its gentle touch
It flows through me eternally
Returning me to you to me and birthing me-you from itself
In an exquisite moving prayer of Grace

Its nature infinite
eternal
Ahhhhhhh

this is love

Back to top

Knowing

You don’t know me
I don’t know me
You can never know me
For I am still discovering “me”
I may never begin to know me
I may never end up knowing me
In every moment, I “be”come another me
When I think I know me, I don’t know me
I can only “Be” and in this moment of “Being”
I am also “Knowing”
