Happy Birthday Dear Vincent.

https://tonysearl.tumblr.com/post/614094899396198400/lianne-la-havas-starry-starry-night-loving I remember first hearing the original "Starry Starry Night" by Don McLean on The Wireless, in August 1972 at Aunty Margaret's farm home kitchen whilst there on winter school holidays. \ I had just turned 8 and mum's sister Margaret, shared some stories about Vincent, their "run away" brother. Mum had never really spoken about Vince so this was all new to me. I had no idea who Van Gogh was then but on return to last term of school our 2nd grade teacher Miss Jiare played this vinyl single almost daily as she loved Don McLean and we always had music playing in class. The song was Top of The Pops at the time so was being played on radio a lot as well. As it turned out Miss Jiare, an old school strict and stern but loving Infants Mistress also had a deep appreciation for art and Vincent Van Gogh in particular. She shared the best stories and read aloud to the...

Love Bug Bites of Gifted Inner Space

I'm not sure about much anymore Yesterday we both weren't sure I and me. He and me. Then and mine. Fear and longing, water and oil. Why was the new burn 3000 days after the final fire so third degree? Not how, I simply see a yes a wild return to which of where? I now go further, softly, to explore? Fear of Death? Fear of ridicule? Fear of same patterns? Not Being seen or heard? As Me, by Me? ridiculed and dismissed? Shamed and unseen? Squeezed so tightly? Conceived in fear? As me, by me? breath failed to flow? Drowning in hurt? Gasping for light? Hang on tight? As me, by me? Clutching at straws? dismissing signs? slivered shards of sharp hope? The Hangman's rope? As me, by me? patterns of harsh manipulation? Secrecy, control and comfort? My role or his or hers or theirs? Projections all, come hear instead? As me, by me? Interruption and black air tight doors? Dis ease, shame and blame? Unresolved Barbs and unchanged action...

Simple Be Calmer

Let Ourselves Be, Be Filled with Calm Awe and Wonder

"What A Wonder  Full World We Live In.  I Can't Help Be In Awe  of Each, Sun Salt, Sea Waters, Our Beauty, Slow Rising. What if ...? As I Simply Love With  You, Our Deep Earth  Silent Mystery,  More?"

"Kindness"

Naomi Shihab Nye  Tells the Remarkable Real-Life Story That Inspired Her Beloved Poem  “Kindness” “Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, / you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.” KINDNESS Before you know what kindness really is you must lose things, feel the future dissolve in a moment like salt in a weakened broth. What you held in your hand, what you counted and carefully saved, all this must go so you know how desolate the landscape can be between the regions of kindness. How you ride and ride thinking the bus will never stop, the passengers eating maize and chicken will stare out the window forever. Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness, you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho lies dead by the side of the road. You must see how this could be you, how he too was someone who journeyed through the night with plans and the simple breath that kept him alive. Before you know kindness as the...

Unlearn To Relearn, Daily. Let It Fly.

View this post on Instagram This is my aim, always. I was shit at academics, but when I learned how to teach myself, everything changed. When I learned how to teach myself is when I learned how to claim my power. I started to rise above the bullshit stories I had been telling myself for years about not being good enough, smart enough, worthy enough... And I had help. I had a guide, a mentor who could teach me the ways of the heart, mind, and soul. It wasn’t easy, but it was so worth it. Rootedness is what followed the work. And the work is what continues to this day. So - how have you trained yourself? Who’s guided you along the way? Comment below. ——————— Men.

Fresh Horizon Look Out, We The Many Light Houses Are Turning Titanic Two Around, Slowly.

"The old soul that dwells at the core of each person has a tolerance for chaos and an instinct for survival. Not in the simple biological terms of survival of the fittest, but a complex involvement with hidden aspects of creation. We can only come to know our soul when the chips are down, when there’s nothing else to do but take on a bigger imagination of the cosmos and of our place within it. The return of cosmic order and cosmic sense always happens at the edge of the abyss, on the brink of disaster where life and beauty and meaning are snatched once again from the teeth of chaos." - Michael Meade, "Awakening the Soul"

Be Fiercely Free, Be Uniquely You, Be The Love,

View this post on Instagram Your work is not in vain, friends. The healing process is one that requires us to earn it. That means we must put in the intentional and deliberate work AND integrate the practices in order to claim it. Healing isn’t easy. We do get met with resistance, confusion, and chaos. Our patterns move front and center. We experience a whole heck of a lot of emotion as we unpack parts of our lives, belief systems, narratives, and the programming and conditioning that’s been operating our human machines for so long. But that heavy lifting is not just for fun. That heavy lifting leads us to openings. It leads us to the pause and the space between stimulus and response. It leads us to our awareness and consciousness. It leads us to our beautiful opportunity for healing. To pivot and create a new ending. To let our awareness and consciousness bring us to our homecoming. The claiming of the life we can be intentional ab...

View this post on Instagram Some of the most profound experiences I've ever had have been diving to the depths with the amazing humans in my life.... Including here. Granted, currently it's a little more challenging to do this in person... however, this is where technology can really be beneficial. Hop on a video call, call your friends/family. Let's use this time to remember how good it feels to be present with those we love before we all got so lost in living stories and lives we were taught to live to finally be enough.⁠ •⁠ You're enough. I'm enough. We know how important connection is to our health... so let's make sure we're really taking the time to intentionally be present with those we love. ⁠ •⁠ Thanks for all of the experiences family. And thank you especially to the front line healthcare workers who are taking such beautiful care of all of us. Sending you all so much love. #createthelove A post...
