209 Manta Ray



No one has told
the Manta Ray
that it is only a creature of the sea.

So, when it reaches for the sky
it has no doubts
in its god-given right to fly.

207 goals



The more I plan
from the mind
the further I turn
from the heart.

When 
my mind learns from my heart
I step into light.

206 flow

My answer
is not in manipulation.
My answer
lies in surrender.

When I
yield to the flow of life,
and
submit to its genius,
I no longer need struggle
to
merely survive.

205 connection 02

the paradox of the human condition
is what we choose to be
connected to

we tie our identities to 
social constructs

we buy into 
corporate and indigenous culture

we sell our souls to
religious ideology

we forget
that we are free to be
what we were originally called to be

204 mind-cave


Thoughts
gust and breeze
through my
mind-cave.

Dust rises,
settles,
a bug scurries.

Each
as inconsequential
as the
stories
I tell myself.

203 more

The sweetest rewards
demand of us
to be fully present,
and to reach
beyond
what we believe is possible.

202 connection 01

To love
in strength
and joy.

To create
in peace
and abundance.

To live
in mindfulness
and consideration.

That is true evolution.

201 dependence

The wisdom of
Dependence
Is subtle and powerful.
It reminds us that
We are 
Parts
Of the whole.

200 veldt-fire


How apt that the 
Dessicated
Detritus
Of my life
Can fuel the most
Vibrantly passionate
Renaissance
Of my soul.

To observe
With detachment,
To truly see
Without prejudice.
This
Is the ultimate
Bravery.

What purpose affection?
Beyond survival,
Spiritual perfection.

196 tenacity

There is beauty
In gnarled endurance.
There is wisdom
In not letting go,
But only in the silence
Of the contemplative soul.

195 truth


In twilight moment,
The fabric of time
Folds,
And Truth
Illumines
The sky.
