Broken, Open

Monday, December 10th, 2007 And what would we be…if nothing ever came along to break the hard shells that build up over the heart? If nothing came along to re-break and re-set the broken bones, and the aching soul, so that a deeper healing could take hold? We...

Through the Cracks

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets through.” Leonard Cohen There is a perfect moment many of us wait for. Perhaps it is warm and we are loved, and we feel beautiful in that moment…so beautiful....

The Tide is High

Full Heart Moon Thursday, November 22nd, 2007 Can you feel the emotional ocean? Yes, the one rolling around your heart…the one whose tide has been rising for days, or even weeks now, and whose waves are beginning to engulf the ships of all the other things? The...

Passionate Life

Saturday, November 17th, 2007 It’s real. The slate-gray skies are regulars again outside my window, waiting for the same god-sent coffee I am right now, to lift their spirits. And the last wind storm shook the final tenacious leaves from the trees, and they are...

The Risk of Feeling Too Much

Friday, November 2nd, 2007 I have always been intense. It isn’t a brag or a boast, in fact it has sometimes been a shame, and a pain, but it isn’t something I could ever do anything about. It is who I am, and trying to hold it back just hasn’t been...

The Storm Within

Saturday, October 20th, 2007 Sometimes living in this world, in this time, and as myself, is like weathering a great storm. A mighty tempest with an even mightier purpose. I feel like I am that island I spent those weeks on in the center of the Mediterranean, blown by...

The Ache to be Real

The Legacy of the Sibyls Friday, September 21st, 2007 Once upon a time there were women who were almost human, but not quite so. Their mothers were nymphs, and their fathers were human…they were not like everyone else. They could see things no one else saw, and...

New Perspective

Sunday, September 9th, 2007 Outside my window it is one of the last, rare, glowing days of summer. My heart seeks to drink it in like the final drops of some sweet elixir for the soul. And yet a part of me is far away…or rather, far within. A part of me is like...
