Hello dear one!
Today my musings are all about words, poetry, emotions, change, beauty… lots of words!
Ideas for you to journal from, use as prompts for your own thoughts on beauty and women and change! Take a few moments, grab a cuppa, sit down, and read and reflect… I love sharing these lifeshorts of mine with you…to inspire and get your writing, reading, and moving!
My theme this week is Transitions, plus a bit of how you are showing up in your world, and poetry, the Beauty of Women!
I’m so glad you are here to share in these words of exploration, expansion, change…
These are two pieces I wrote about transitions, moving forward, celebrating the past, letting go, and stuff! let me know how you move forward, what transitions are taking place in your life, and what you have celebrated!
~~~~~~~~~~
Transitions
Transition at the kitchen sink
It happens
My place for cooking, cleaning, gazing out toward the palm trees,
dancing and singing
meditations happen
downloads loaded up
I shimmy and scoot back and forth from the stove to the fridg
To the sink and pivot around the counter to do a few step touches, spins
Add in wailing to some old R&B
I only then realize my passion for exploration of nourishment
On all the levels of being
Of feeding family and friends
Bringing in new taste sensations
And sometimes the ‘what the hell do I do with this?’
Then most consistently and continually wash the dishes to make room
In my little space of sacred offerings and loving delight of colors and shapes
Then tastes and sustenance
Knowing that not only am I honoring my vegan values of ahimsa-
No animals come butchered to my table
But in sharing the joy of food, the old honored traditions breaking bread together
Of feeding ourselves with curiosity and pleasure
The songs play on, holding space in my memories
As the food is served on luscious platters of deliciousness
To display all the goodness that life has to offer
In feeding the body and the soul.
~~~~~~
Riding the bicycle of transitions
Cruising through the neighborhoods of art
With open eyes of curiosity
Filling in the gaps of creation
Allowing for the differences of opinions
Of growth and expansion
Of maintaining the visuals and the visages of the accouterments
Of living a sacred and beautiful vision of life
Pumping the pedals to raise awareness,
To raise the blood pressure,
To know I am alive
And filling myself up with the energy and the breath of riding within the boundaries
To have the allotted space, the solo lane, while desperately wanting to overstep my welcome,
Break tradition
To recreate and rewild with possibilities
To transition to the moon and the stars and back again
While keeping connection with the ground underneath my wheels
Mama Earth, mother Gaia
Spinning over and over, spiraling chaos of change,
I am always moving forward
The earth reaches up to envelope me and my octopussy map of reaching and searching divine feminine tentacles
Out in every direction, not just north or south, or east or west,
But within and without, to the ether, to the heavens, to the hells
Asking for connection with my guides for true direction
As I ride the sky homeward, wicked witch be damned,
Bound with new passionate visions of my own wild grandeur
~~~~~~~~~~
and then I want to share something I wrote for my dancers, but really all women…
the Beauty of Women
