The End of the World

So far, this year has brought many moments of clarity. Sometimes we are so impatient with ourselves and the world, that we don't see our personal growth which changes every minute. We are not the same person we were two minutes ago, literally. It often seems we are stuck in the same position. Prayer, contemplation and visualization... do it daily. 
 The Kingdom is a personal condition and can be experienced right now. The Kingdom is achieved through self-knowledge. We are free when we are not controlled by fears and desires. Don't get distracted. Stop hiding from yourself. Too many people live in doubt instead of faith. Too many people live in fear instead of love.  Practice being disciplined. The only thing permanent is the spiritual world. Union with God is not conditioned by circumstance or religious preference. We all have direct contact with God. The universe is a living presence even if you are skeptical about deities. 
Love is a powerful force and in any given circumstance, we must use it, without expectation or demand. Life is a mystery to be lived not a puzzle to be figured out. My intuition leads me to believe "the last days" will not be measured on how many guns you have or what type of bomb shelter you've invested in. We must stop letting television dictate our thoughts and mold our imagination. This type of thinking only leads to self destruction. 
Rhetorics can not be taken literally. Eternal life is not a conviction but a consciousness that we all possess. So I will chime in on this "hot topic" and say that life is a cycle. "The last days" is a reminder to be prepared  for a new way of thinking, creating and living. Those who stay alert and can adapt will understand that the beginning is near. Not the end.

Show Up For Your Real Life

Greetings Loved Ones!!  The year is almost coming to a close. It's been a year of self reflection and a test of true sacrifice. When we leave ourselves open to possibilities there is no telling what will meet us half way. Energy will shift and new creation is born. I have always surrounded myself with humble and gracious individuals that give me the motivation to reach further. However, It felt amazing to unplug from the big city and tune into self in a small country setting. We can not be our best if we do not "check in" with ourselves from time to time.  I enjoy performing, producing and guest speaking but this year I declined all invitations so that I could dedicate my time to self development.    Without calculation, I took the time to pamper myself through gardening, writing, meditation, and self love. The true test and personal journey was using my inner guide to keep me grounded, aware and secure about my choices and who I have become.  I have come...

Dancing in the rain...

The Dalai Lama tells us to stop expecting life to be easy. Life is full of suffering and is ultimately unsatisfying; The only way to be happy is to train your mind to want less and to train your mind to penetrate the ultimate reality. I am rolling into the year with new hope and ideas. I have been invited to be one of the inspirational speakers at the L.A. Union Workers, "Womens Month Program." I am excited and nervous, but it feels good to be part of a great cause. My dreams have been vivid and seem to be telling me stories of my past. I've been writing like maddd. I feel the birth of a new poem! I've also been invited on a poetry performance tour at the end of the year. I'll have to string you along before I tell you my biggest project of the year. So stay connected. Indubitably, Indigo Lounge is going to be delightful on February 7th. The line up is SSicK! Join us for love and Black History Month. Get in contact with me if you would like to perform. We do th...
