• Brighter Diamonds on Haight-Ashbury

  

  We block our light because we don’t believe in our own brilliance. We are more than cobwebbed echoes floating through eternal space. We are brighter diamonds, sparkling in the deep night sky. ✨✨

• There is No Dark Future! Part 2: A poem & photo series.

  A poem continued. An offering of hope. Like so many of you I have been on a spiritual journey the past year and a half. New Wisdom has been given to me. Words of truth our souls are aching to know. Thank you so much for reading these frail words which are spoken through me.…

• Beyond Thunderdome

  I didn’t know I had fear of camping in the desert until confronted with the reality of its stark dry silence. The solemn landscape loomed with limestone and clay towers. Canyons leftover from a former ocean. Approaching the desert, I suddenly became claustrophobic, small, and unsure. Surprised by my reaction, I thought,“those feelings happen in…

• Quantum Leap

  

  Just go for it! Jump at those chances. Listen to your calling. Follow your impulses. Move to that city. Climb that mountain. Say “yes” to things you want more often. Do what your secret heart has been waiting to do. Make that quantum leap towards your full potential. Release your doubts into the sky. This…

• Setting the Record Strait Part 2

  I was at Mt. Shasta writing about one of the most surreally difficult nights of my life, right before another strange event occurred on this mountain. Truth can be a stranger dance than any of our fictions. You see, I slipped through the trapdoor of my mind after a BLM celebration, on the night of…

• We Are Natural Mystics

  

  We Are Natural Mystics: There are pockets on Earth that no human eye has seen. Great mysteries of life are hidden in riddles and rivers. Ancient secrets sag in the marrow of oil. If we have not been able to catalog and observe all parts of our planet, then how do we bound in all…

• Rainbow Connection CDMX

  

  Let us give thanks then- instead of to a nation, but appreciating unto each other and loved ones who came before. Let us be thankful for the abundant beauty, biodiversity, sustainable resources, justice spread out in every movement of our planet spinning on an axis- as fractured as it all may seem. It is from…

• Collaborate and Listen: part 1

  

  An Aztec Shaman in Zocalo honored me with a blessing two years ago this November. During an ancient Aztec ceremony he spoke words passed down from his ancestors. He chanted Earth-born hymnals as an interlocutor for his soul. His gruff tones hummed from deep intergenerational tomes I couldn’t comprehend. Perhaps he prayed that we would…

• Rider of Waves (Part 2)

  

  In the process of becoming unconditional, you become like water. In living your truth in resilient flexibility you will start setting yourself & others free. Everything in the known existence shares pools from some part of the 118 elements. We all come from the same initial Source. We are fulfillments of the genetic promises brought…
