DUPLICITY IN ME

My Blood and Bones

Does anyone else out there cook while zooming a class on being present?

Wash the dishes during a silent meditation?

Practice Yoga in between weeding the garden, in the garden, while gardening?

Does anyone else shower outdoors as a preference?

Get excited at the idea of thunderstorms and afternoon showers?

Daydream about grandchildren whilst observing the Hummingbird on the Gladiolas?

Watch the Honey Bees as they dart in and out of the Wild Sunflowers?

Stand in awe each and every time the neighborhood Red Tail Hawk lands on the chimney of her home.

Do you cry at the appearance of your husband in the doorway as he reminds you that you are loved. He tells me he is proud of me. He smiles and nods gently in my direction.

He is the man that I dreamed of as a younger woman. He is kind, loving, soft and gentle, He is supportive, creative, passionate and adventurous. He is a reminder of the Father I did not know, before my birth. Do you know your DNA and roots?

“Am I an imposter? Am I really an Artist? A Writer? A Singer/Songwriting Geritol Gypsy? Is my spiritual life in balance with my Cannabis consumption? Do I truly believe in the ability to generate WORLD PEACE through song and prayer? Am I living a life to be emulated by those who will come after me? I think of the next seven generations.

I am brought back to the livestream by the words…

“This is not just an accidental occurrence as a result of your DNA… you choose this. You choose to follow this spiritual, intentionally creative path”. “We are receiving teachings from the earth. We believe in water and air, we believe in the sun and the moon, we are a creature inside of a creature. We are a creation inside of a creation. It is not an invention, it is an arising. These are not new ideas. These are ancient ideas. This awareness is a reacquaintance. How much presence are you willing to give to it? We live in a ‘witness to witness’ universe. The thread that you are weaving actually matters! How much more love can we bring into whatever we are working with? Attune your heart and your brain and your vulva to amplify your awareness.”

I am in collaboration with creation. I am in a relationship with the energy source.My identity is curated, not just passed on down to me through my DNA.

I can be all things that call to me.

M creative force is what sets me free!

I am a human of the earth.

Not a prisoner of my birth.
