Pages From My Heart

April 2011 There is an awareness growing inside, within the walls of this skin. This awareness is blossoming, something so nourishing, and life affirming is flourishing within me. The more time I spend in contemplation, writing down my feelings and expressing myself, the more I ‘get’ that my life isn’t just ‘happening’ to me. My life is actually a byproduct of the choices I make and how I chose to look it. Everyday I linger longer in this oasis within. In and out I go, in and out. In my head, back into my heart, in my head, back into my heart, thinking and feeling, thinking and then feeling, the dance continues day in, day out. We are taught so many things as we grow, we are taught how to eat, what to eat, how to think, what to think, we are taught about life. Our upbringing and our experiences serve to shape and mold us. The great awakening happens when we start to see ourselves beyond this conditioning. I believe our life experiences serve to tear holes in the veil, between our Self and our Source. What the process of remembering, of re-cognising our true nature is all about, is first understanding that what we see, think, hear, and feel has up till this point been heavily colored, shaped, sculpted and influenced by our parents, by religion, by society, by various organizations and large corporations. If we are to set ourselves free from the bondage of such conditioning, we have to start to see the impact of this conditioning, and how much it costs us and our planet as a whole. We give away our freedom trying to be right, the best, better than others. This kind of thinking separates us. We need to depend less on external sources of knowledge and tune into the vast internal wisdom of our hearts. Inevitably we must come to the realization that we are all one, all connected, all at the fundamental level related.  I know the more I understand myself, my past, my thoughts and the impact they have on my experience of life, of others, of this planet I inhabit; the more I understand the very nature of my life itself and the easier it becomes for me to step outside of this box I’ve learn’t to live inside of. I see that true security is not wanting to feel secure at all but knowing that I am apart of a much greater plan, that I am being guided.  Self-realization is not a destination, Self-realization is you and me waking up to the fact that we were never separate and never will be separate from that great energy, the one that animates and moves our hearts, and breathes life into us. You and I and the Great Source are one. Me taking care of myself, is me taking care of you, us taking care of each other IS taking care of the collective. Me feeling safe and  opening my heart creates a shift in the lives of those around me. Our love heals holes in the fabric of this collective consciousness. The more we accept, know, love, and embrace ourselves for the lives we have lived, for the life we are living, for all the difficulties we have over come, the closer we are to understanding the awesome power contained within. The power to forgive, to learn, to change and grow. I am so grateful for this life~ The God I know is everywhere and in all things, is in different stages of growth and expansion. The God I know is multifaceted, is always willing to give me what I need in order to grow, in order to change, in order to be all I have come here to experience. When we experience love, it radiates out into the universe, when we experience peace, it radiates out into the universe. Our thoughts are powerful. What we choose to believe has a powerful affect on us. Within every thought is a tiny seed that when watered becomes either a weed or a flower. I have a garden full of both. I write because it helps me to locate the weeds, I write because it helps me to see the best possible way to remove those weeds I write because it teaches me how to water the flowers. ~L Picture source: unknown  

April 2011


There is an awareness growing inside, within the walls of this skin. This awareness is blossoming, something so nourishing, and life affirming is flourishing within me.

The more time I spend in contemplation, writing down my feelings and expressing myself, the more I ‘get’ that my life isn’t just ‘happening’ to me. My life is actually a byproduct of the choices I make and how I chose to look it.

Everyday I linger longer in this oasis within. In and out I go, in and out. In my head, back into my heart, in my head, back into my heart, thinking and feeling, thinking and then feeling, the dance continues day in, day out.

We are taught so many things as we grow, we are taught how to eat, what to eat, how to think, what to think, we are taught about life. Our upbringing and our experiences serve to shape and mold us. The great awakening happens when we start to see ourselves beyond this conditioning.

I believe our life experiences serve to tear holes in the veil, between our Self and our Source.

What the process of remembering, of re-cognising our true nature is all about, is first understanding that what we see, think, hear, and feel has up till this point been heavily colored, shaped, sculpted and influenced by our parents, by religion, by society, by various organizations and large corporations.

If we are to set ourselves free from the bondage of such conditioning, we have to start to see the impact of this conditioning, and how much it costs us and our planet as a whole. We give away our freedom trying to be right, the best, better than others. This kind of thinking separates us.

I am so grateful for this life~

Within every thought is a tiny seed that when watered becomes either a weed or a flower. I have a garden full of both. I write because it helps me to locate the weeds, I write because it helps me to see the best possible way to remove those weeds

I write because it teaches me how to water the flowers.
