not just the world but inside

start living from there

I had a History teacher who thought “finding yourself” was a joke

…simple thing to judge, but a difficult path to walk

Survival Travel 101 :

1.  Know where you are

2. Know where you are going

Can you answer those two questions honestly?

a good place to start

…but

life is about far more than survival

…than getting by

…existence

it’s an expression of where you are in your journey

the level of vibration you’ve chosen to accept as your own

“At what level of imperfection will you settle”

Brandon Lee 

so reach a little higher

feel the buzz

open your heart

taste the love

tomorrow is waiting

yesterday’s gone

now is upon you

…ride

P.

you share each dawn and sunset

and sacred silence

Being your-self should be the easiest task in the world

shouldn’t it?

I mean…you are who you are…

But is that the truth 

check out your local bookstore…

“15 Ways to Find Your Inner Peace”

” How to Set Your Life Free”

…yep, must be a cinch

At the end of the day

You have You

remember

it’s easier for your head to catch up with your heart

than the other way around…

have a passionate love affair with your life

P.

“psychological icons”=mental pictures painted by words

in touch…

out of touch…

when you’re a kinaesthetic type (like me)

these are powerful, visceral images…

…

a simple caress

the universe in a kiss

life in a shared breath

…

my life changed in a single touch

I am, will be, forever grateful for that

It brought a knowing to my life

I can neither explain nor discount

it simply is…

and I thank God for my life

P.

do we put our faith in external evidence

or is our interpretation what really matters?

“knowledge is power”, my mantra for years

Tony Blauer added the caveat, “only if it’s the truth”

…ouch

Awareness and Responsibility

…

I will walk my path

tread between earth and divine

and know that I chose

….

the difference between ‘trying’ to live

and living…

if you woke up one day to realize

that you were living someone else’s truth

would you still keep trying…

…or just start living

be careful

…it could cost you a lot to think about it

P.

big question isn’t it…

peel back the layers of thought

and lay your-self bare

real truth starts inside

you can’t give what you don’t have

…make sure you have you

…

trust the voice inside that loves you

the silent longing soulsong of your heart

you matter

you are worth it

…loved unconditionally

…and without limits

share from that place

and live…

P.

yet only of my own choice

so embrace the light

beneath the heat of dawns rays

or the cool harvest moon

the wonder of life is laid bare

in your pain look up and know

life is precious, rare and worth it

the price you pay dims against the prize

…

look up to heaven

then inside to your own heart

and know forever

…

love life

it loves you too…

P.

what is the price

pay it …

…

if you had a conversation with a caterpillar,

told it that it would essentially die…

and turn into a beautiful butterfly

it would tell you you were frickin’ crazy

but it would be the truth.

what your thoughts dwell upon

BECOME your life

“frickin’ crazy!!!”

…but truth

…

from caterpiller

to unbreathing butterfly

a brilliant crimson

…

what would you pay

to be Who You Are…

find out…

P.

something you’ve thought about, or simply taken for granted?

imagine the state of the world if each of us simply took…

time…

space…

breath…

combined it with the silent song of our own hearts

and simply listened…

not to the world with-out, but within

what would we do with the wonder there?

…

deafening silence

embracing I who was lost

while hiding from found

…

in this age of ’self-help’ libraries

dvds, cds, seminars and life coaches

there is a saddening pull to helplessness

where we seek ‘experts’ for answers

that only our own hearts can offer us

…

love you as you are

you matter more than your fear

bliss is your birthright

…

breathe deep, your life is waiting

P.

Live The Truth

May not sound like much, but those simple thoughts changed my life.

…

look into your life

it’s looking back into you

there is no middle

…

In a world based on conformity being who you are is about as popular as being a porcupine in a nudist colony. Then again, you do get your space…

A little over two years ago something inside me woke up. A knowing that may take me the rest of my life to understand, if I ever do. Amazing what discovering your soulmate can do…

…

a sentient flame

ignited inside a touch

love without limits

…

have a passionate love affair with your life

P.

comfortable in a ring, on a stage or at a business meeting;

in muddy boots, sandals or polished deckers…

dedicated to simply being who I am…

and living the truth of that…

inside my every breath

“the universe loves me”

…try saying it, it might change your life

P.
