"There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." Aldous Huxley Knows.
Creative Patience
and delayed gratification have taught me a lot about the importance of true nature and the seasons.
As have creative communities like Burning Man and The Creative Incubator.
“It’s dark because you are trying too hard.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.
I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig.
Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me.
When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic.
No rhetoric, no tremolos,
no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell.
And of course, no theology, no metaphysics.
Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light.
So throw away your baggage and go forward.
There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet,
trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair.
That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly my darling,
on tiptoes and no luggage,
not even a sponge bag,
completely unencumbered.”
― Aldous Huxley , Island
Simply cease the reaching,
relax, NOTHING is under control,
NO one knows a god damned thing,
thoughts, beliefs and memories are all MIND attachments,
(which most humans hang on to and identify with those MIND attachments to more or lesser degrees...)
Instead, freshen UP,
let each moment BE exactly as it is,
let go of each moment asap,
do NOT stay attached to the past MOMENTs
live fresh
love now
live fully
let each moment be and let life move at the pace of true nature. Your own.
You’re not behind.
You are EXACTLY where YOU are meant to be.
You are always full, always whole, maybe tired, tied or exhausted. Well then?
Rest up, restore and recharge.
Lighten up and let go of the tiredness, the attached THINKING you know,
simply let it be
no matter your phase.
Like the moon and the sun. Just there doin' your thing. Simple.
Shining. Burning. Lightening UP and Illuminating. Your SELF first. Ordinary. Common.
You’re right on time, here now.
Everywhere, wholly, in THIS one infinite eternal moment. Then the next. Then the next.
Now is composed of all those infinite eternal moments simply flowing together.
Like the seasons and the stars.
Like the sun and the moon.
Like the oceans and the rivers.
All True Natured, Just LIKE you.
One creature IN creation.
To be aware of that simplicity is to be UNIQUE, NOT special.
To be aware of that simplicity is to be UNIQUE, NOT special.
WE are all unique, we are all ONE, not separate and special.
Or elevated and above, or less than and worth less.
One creation and ONE creature in that creation. Intrinsic. Within. Nature, within.
Consciousness. Within. Simple, Common, Ordinary. Everywhere, No secret. No mystery.
So how to unlock the NON secret PIN code of you?
simple as.
simply stop all that you are not.
You have to firstly know your own wholly grounded True Nature.
You have to firstly know your own wholly grounded True Nature.
Which we all already are BTW.
Already a bloomin' beauty!
So stop trying hard to be something we all already are... JUST. STOP. IT. 🤣🤣🤣
Trust the timing of your life. Pay attention.
Choose discerning aligned souls, heart to heart energy and wise actions. Pay better attention.
Commune in Community, connect with consideration for and curiosity about shared ideas.
And clap for others in their season!
All The Best

All The Best
And Pay BEST attention!
Simple. Common. Ordinary. Being.
Everywhere.
Consciousness!
Simplest season on Earth!
All inclusive, For EVERY creature.
And we all already are.
Whole and Holy.
Divine and Sacred.
Seriously Silly and Sensual and Why so mudda ducking serious...? (unless it is)
Lighten UP.
Give it all UP.
Rise UP.
Evolve and Elevate and Simply Be in Awe More!
Simple.
Shedding layers of who we are not and never have been.
Ditching the facades of people pleasing, polly anna perfectionism and counterfeit empathy.
Always BE KIND first, inclusive and accepting, DOES NOT mean to agree.
Boundaries, do not leave home without them.
Keep It Sensually Simple.
From Love NOT For Love.
One creature in creation, not above nor below any other creature.
(only a dis integrated ego attachs to THINKING that...)
Equality, Equity, Equanimity, Excellence, Erudite, Exactly...
Rest, reflect, restore, roar, raw, rise and repeat.
Connection, compassion, co creation, consideration, commune in community.
Lighten UP and laugh more.
Especially at any self important, self deprecating,
lost in living a half life and calling it living, wishy washy wanky
waa waa noisy nosy sticky beaky over sharing loose lips sink ships
dis integarted ego of a none sensual up tight
fuddy duddyness of taking your self so god damned seriously...
why even do that anxiety and stress inducing hanging on FFS?
So simply return to who YOU already are.
No practices. No rituals. No healing, wheeling or dealing.
YOU WE ALL of us already are!
There is NO secret.
There is NO path or journey or waiting for the jug to boil...
(except for those blind siding life FUNK holes that catch us unawares. And YES we all have them and they are all REAL. It is how we resiliently respond to the shitty or hard or painful and tragic unexpected events that restores our true nature. Move on, let go, learn the less ons The First Time, do not repeat miss stakes... and of course WE all get by with a little help from our friends, The Real Ones that is...)
So create fresh inner space to hold multitudes. Your Own. Let go and do NOT be in a hurry to replace that nascent INNER space with anything. Enjoy the peace FULL inner calm void. Silence says it all.
Always create and hold space for your own True Nature, first,
Before you run around like a headless chook tryin' to Save The Hole Wide World...
that sounds exhaustipative... sounds awfully stressful... sounds like a counterfeit over sharing empath a pretty loose lipped cannon an anxious people pleasing polly annaish...
explore within and save your own self first, know who YOU really are, first,
put that oxygen mask of your own on,
first!
Lighten up,
free flow and float more lightly
connected somatically heart to heart NOT intellectually attached head to head,
unattached to suffering or complexities or convolutions.
Intuition listening followed up by discerning aligned actions.
By all means THINK critically and deeply (two skills often lacking)
but just do not get attached to creeds, beliefs and dogmas
as they will BOX you in.
It is the attachment to be aware of as MIND attachment limits, restricts and contains both consciousness and imagination.
Remain fluid and free and flexible.
Go Lightly child, as Aldous Huxley reminds us.
Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly.
Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply.
Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.

Lightly My Darling
Unencumbered.
Once we dismiss and discard and drop all that we are not.
From love, NOT for love.
Simple.
