Another inspired by a Facebook post. Original quote:
“Reason is powerless in the expression of LOVE.”
Rumi….. ♥
My thoughts:
Love is not rational. Love flows. What a wonderful way of being, to remember life is not black and white.
To try and rationalize “what is love” or “is this love” puts a damper on the true expression.
Flow with it. Let it sweep you away like the currents, and surrender to the beauty. You cannot drown in Love. ~Amy Baker
Inspired by a Facebook post. Original quote:
“Colours seen by candlelight will not look the same by day.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning….. ♥
Value all aspects (colors) of yourself. That includes the light and shadow, which alter our perception of everything.
Can you see the beauty in the shadow aspect? Can you see the darkness in the light?
Like a painter, I explore my colors. Dancing on every moment through my waters, my paints, kicking, sloshing, twirling, immersing myself fully.
Paintings in my mind, in my heart, impermanent, ready each day for a remodel of my inner landscape. ~Amy Baker
The following is borrowed from a Facebook status of a friend, and I felt it so timely:
In many shamanic societies if you came to a medicine person complaining of being dis-heartened, dis-spirited, depressed, they would ask you one of four ?s
when did you stop dancing
when did you stop singing
when did you stop being enchanted by stories
when did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?
I keep finding posts about how to get back to that “happy place” for people who are entangled in their old ways, their old patterns.
Just this morning, I was thinking that dancing, kirtan, and meditation are certainly ways to happiness, given they are engaged in mindfully. They are ways of staying present, ways of experiencing anew what may seem like the same activity.
Each day, a new life. Each breath, a new attitude. Each moment, a new beginning.

How is it that a strong woman Feels vulnerable like a child? Scared, alone, unsure, adrift How can one endure so much And still doubt? Divine light one day, Childlike insecurities the next. Tears flow down my cheek, Carrying the … Continue reading
I am full, oh so full
But not uncomfortably so.
No need to loosen my pants,
No indigestion.
Just a filling up of my heart
Letting out a sigh of relief
From the fullness of our steaming cup of love.
We sip together, nose to nose,
or separately, alternating between offering and receiving.
Settling in, digesting all the goodness.
My cup runneth over.

Okay, I admit I am borrowing this material, but it captures something that I love. It captures a huge part of the reason I blog, why I always attempt to be raw, transparent and honest in my blogs. As I … Continue reading
Magnetic polarity
Drawn, with only the slightest note,
Toward each other
Heart to Heart
Two of the same
Seemingly opposite
Sometimes pushing apart
Yet always one turn of the heart
toward union
Balanced delicately at the crux
The nameless force we dance
around,
through,
and in bliss
within.
Feeling you, All ways, Always.
