Special Sight for Gorgeous Moments

IMG_6987This sky is a creamy ash color,

releasing bits of rain

nourishing the plants and dazzling on my skin.

Everything looks more pure in this light.

From the green of the leaves to the soft peach of the flower petals.

Taking a moment to pause and think about all that I have released and all that I want to continue shedding.

Allowing nature to guide me as I follow the seasons of my life into more abundance.

-We often wake up pale and creased and all the world has lost it’s color.

But what if we developed a special sight for gorgeous moments?

Little slow dimensions when our focus narrows and we can truly see all the savory goodness that lies before us!

(Today practice a focus shift. Try and find little treasures hidden in your day.)

Beginning with the Body.

“Caught in the swirling actions, thoughts, and journeys of others, we lose touch with our breath, our bodies, and the grounding center within us.”
-Patricia Lynn Reilly, Author of I Promise Myself (A great resource.)
My body.
How do I feel in it?
Lately?
I have been struggling to feel full of energy and life.
No matter how much I sleep, how much water I drink or what good foods I put into my body I feel tired.
I’v been achier, slightly nauseated, and sometimes my anxiety gets the very best of me.
Living with an auto immune disease isn’t easy as pie.
I don’t want to continue in a negative spiral, however I want to share honestly that it has been, over the years, quite a struggle.
It takes me up and down. But sometimes more down.
I begin to think negatively towards my body.
I hate this I think. I hate the way I feel. I hate being sick.
It was like an electric bolt to my thoughts.
First I think then my body follows suit.
Not the other way around.
My lover helped me see this.
I have been telling my body I hate it and of course it is going to feel abused, neglected and sick.
My body has been my greatest teacher.
She has withstood many rigorous painful storms.
Both physically and emotionally.
She has continued to walk on even with the aches.
She has continued to breath and be a safe harbor for my emotions and dreams.
She has held me tightly together when I thought everything would fall apart.
She signals me into what I am really feeling.
If I am holding too much in.
Or if I am not being kind to myself.
She transforms with the seasons and years I walk through.
She has been the lover that has never left me.
So to you my dear I am deeply sorry for how I have abused and neglected you.
-I am committed to loving you fully.
I am devoted to sending love deep down to comfort all the wounded places. 
I am committing to listen to you more. To do things that serve towards a healthier vessel.

Love is a four lettered word I didn’t always like.

Love is:

Love is the scar on your knee’s your mother kissed.

Love is the battered package you received in the mail the other day.

Love is the sound of the wind escaping through the small gap in your window.

Love is the orange glow the fire cast on your lovers skin.

Love is  hands worn with time and the things they have made.

Love is your nieces’s tangled curly hair.

Love is building forts at midnight and laughing uncontrollably.

Love is reading green eggs and ham over and over and OVER.

Love is knowing when not to give up.

Love is eating dinner on an Italian patio listening to Frank Sinatra.

Love is dancing in the rain to “Home”.

Love is lemon drop colored leaves.

Love is the half smile you wear.

 It was a quick beauty.

The shades of magenta the sky turned just before the sun silently fell asleep.

We were cold, but enchanted.

How could we not be?

Nature is and will always be what fills me to the depths of my soul.

I could never live in an iron city full of glass walls.

I must be among the meadows, the towering tree’s and the sea.
