LETTER TO MY HEART


Dear Heart . . .

I know that I have kept you in the eternal wardrobe of mindless endeavours.
In this darkness, you have persisted on knocking at the door and have never given up on me. Your rhythmic beating has always faithfully kept me alive and able to do the things that I do, had the experiences that I have had and the loves that I have cared about. 
I have neglected you on so many levels and have rarely fed you the right stuff 
. . . and I have ignored your fervent warnings when tough decisions have been imminent. 
For this, I write this letter -
I want to acknowledge that you are paramount to my survival and not only do you beat the rhythm which keeps me breathing, but you know me better than anyone else, as you are the friend who has been with me the longest!
As positive change is a part of my future, I want you to be a part of that too!
I want you to be at the head of my table, taking your place, where you deserve to be. 
I will begin to withdraw from those actions which stress you, 
those decisions which cause you pain, 
those feelings which cause you to hide,
those thoughts which undermine you,
those beliefs which contradict you and
those people who don't respect you. 

My commitment to change begins with you and I will consciously listen to you when I have to change course or continue on any path . . .

Love from Your Person.

    I had the amusing thought of a sexist interaction, where a representative or client will speak only to the male person present, and ignore the female. This is a reflection of how our culture speaks only to the (distorted) masculine nrg, the intellect, and not to the feminine nrg, the heart.

Why We Kneel

19/12/2017 KNEELING IS NOT RELIGIOUS . . . Kneeling is human . . . When circumstances give you more than you can stand . . . it is time to kneel. There are two grand mysteries wrapped up in the art of kneeling . . . and it is an art! The first mystery is the kneeling itself and it is the time to relinquish everything and surrender all the burdens that cause the back to bend, the knees to buckle and the heart to strain. Bringing the knees to the ground, connects the heart to the earth. The second mystery is the holding of the hands in prayer and it is time to close off all earthly concerns and open a circuit between the heart, the intuition and the divine.  Religious folk do this, yogi's do this and many other believers do this - It is a natural state of being human, to seek a place of solace, a sacred sanctum or sanctuary, to withdraw from the maddening crowd and find the voice that speaks from within - In the position of prayer as described above, you ...

The Great Journey of Ascension

  And the days ahead . . . The exhausted apex climber takes a breath and lets her body go momentarily silent. He is nearly there; he can smell the clean air amid the heights of personal effort. Then, with one last breath, she pulls herself away from the mountain face to begin the final ascent. He matches each footstep, one step after the other, with courage, resilience, fortitude, bravery, discipline, and focus. She clears the top! Nothing is above her, and everything below is a testimony to the effort and single-mindedness that allowed him to overcome challenges along the way, like the stone in her shoe and the slip when he misjudged the stone’s integrity. Not everyone would experience a stone in her shoe or the dangers of a loose rock. Instead, others might experience a cutting wind or skin blistered by the blazing sun. While some would cry and sit on the ground as their frustration got the the better of them, others would try to help by offering to share their load. Some would r...
