Beyond These Limits of Being.

I watched a little one playing outside the window this morning. Upon his head, a folded paper hat donning the emblem of the fearless pirate ‘Zed’.

The ‘z’ printed backwards, of course – further emphasizing the tumultuous seas ahead. And swinging his tree branch turned sword he cried, “I’m a pirate, YAR!! Watch me now!!”

Though last weekend he was a superhero, if I recall. Spiderman *with* a cape, because – well, why not?

Isn’t it amazing, my loves – how these ‘worlds’ are created? In an instant, we are ‘on top of the world’. While just moments later, a cowering mess. How can the two be derived of same mind? What changes to substantiate their premise?

We are born, limitless. Though, in time, behaviors are learned; infused within our capacity of discernment – a challenge presented through the relevance of our being.

“God speaks to each of us as he makes us,” the poet Rilke once shared.”then walks with us silently out of the night.”

Perhaps, this is the learning of faith’s dutiful course? A joy, a sadness – a humbling loss. Followed again by a rediscovery; nothing is final, and the heart is not lost.

“Go to the limits of your longing.” he writes. “Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness.”

This morning, the little ones shall dance courageously nearest their fear. They shall climb only to the highest of limbs, and simply for this joy we call living.

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️

On Fireflies Carrying Their Light to the Moon.

I remember once watching a meteor shower with my Dad. “Like wilds horses,” he said. “across the heavens.”

To this day, I can’t help but to see those stallions galloping towards freedom – I dare say, a little imagination goes a long, long way.

It’s those stories, now – wouldn’t you say? Those little pockets of inspired ingenuity which provide a little more ‘color’ to life’s palette.

“Imagination,” shares author, Ray Bradbury “should be the center of your life.”

Come to think of it, I recall yet another story about the fireflies carrying their light to the moon. “If you catch them, how will we ever find our way home?”

To this day, I won’t hesitate to knock a mason jar out of a ‘fire’ hunter’s hands.

My goodness, how these stories find us – revealing themselves at a moment when they’re needed most of all.

Reminding us, that our lives are a magical weaving of that which we’ve always dreamed of.

Let your imagination find you today, my loves – for once, let your heart take flight.
