It’s Just Me
I wish someone was here tell me everything’s gonna be alright
I could use a hug and unconditional love
I don’t know if the way I’m going is right
I don’t know if the path I’m following is to the darkness or light
I wish I had someone to hold my hand
And to patch up my skinned elbows and knees
But it’s just me
It’s just me here alone
In this house and on this road
I no longer think true love is near
It’s just me, myself and fear
It makes me sad but it also makes me strong
It’s a life long lesson about tying knots and hanging on
I thought no man was an island but I feel like one
Untethered and independent
Living out this isolating sentence
It’s just me in the bed again tonight
Telling myself everything’s gonna be alright
Excerpt from my journal 3/27/2024
First, let me say that I am hesitant to post this because I am aware of how it sounds. However, I am doing it because as you will read below, we all have choices. No worries if it is not for you. The who, this is meant for is not my concern. I'm just here to share a message, do with that what you will. I am posting it here because posting it here is what I'm guided to do.
"...A few days ago something was revealed to me. A "new" spiritual element I’ll call it was presented to me for learning. I have heard of the quantum realm in terms of quantum mechanics and studied it on a very superficial and novice level. I am familiar with the wave and the particular and the double slit experiment, and the multiverse, but I had not explored this regarding timelines.
We are all jumping timelines all the time on both a collective and individual basis Timelines are choices. Most of the timeline jumping we do are small variations. Going back to the multiverse for a second, a universe exists where I never wrote this journal entry at all. Maybe in that one, I ignored the call to write and went to the gym or decided to work today. There is a universe for every decision I can make. Small free-will decisions are small jumps. Quantum jumps happen when creating big shifts by making big choices. My decision to stop doing massage and close my shop that day in 2017 was a quantum leap. I believe that will in some way connect me to the solar eclipse happening on April 8th, based on the astrology of seven years ago and today. One cycle is ending and this is the beginning of another.
Presently I, and presumably the collective, are standing at a crossroads of timelines. The crossroad is a major opportunity to make a quantum leap. Anyone can take advantage of this opportunity to make whatever change is desired! We have the next 15 days to plant the seeds!
The solar eclipse is happening at 12:40 and 53 seconds. 1+5 =6. 1+2+4+0+5+3=15, (and 1+5=6)! The Google machine had this to say about angel number 6: “…balance, duty – putting in the work and remembering what is important…”
I believe today that I am being called to do this (or these very things). Today I am being called not to my daily routine, but to re-evaluate what I do for my daily routine, my daily life in every way and to share this information with anyone that may be called to it. Could I be crazy? Sure, anything is possible, but I’d rather not take the risk of over-simplifying whatever I am feeling today by calling it crazy… so here I am, and here it is.
The question is what do we want, collective? What do I want? Where is my soul calling me to go? Where am I being led? Now is the spiritual spring! Now is the time for planting everything you want to grow, not just in the short term but big picture thinking, I’m talking months, and years down the line! This is the opportunity to quantum leap!
We have entered a portal that is open until the solar eclipse on April 8th. This is where fate and free will dovetail and magic happens. I wish I could express the magnitude of the energy I am feeling at this moment, but all the words I know are insufficient. I know, I know I sound melodramatic and rambly (not even a word, but that’s what I mean – the words I know are insufficient). Take it or leave, but I must go now and plant some seeds."
My Walk In January
Late January and
I feel her call to be seen
So I go to the park to walk down by the stream
I follow the pathway to the forest
Though it’s quiet there is no unrest
Only peace it seems
And though it’s winter now
Cold with the sun hidden behind the clouds
I still see remnants of the fall
Where I played and laughed aloud
Leaves browned by time blow across the snow and
Acorns poke up through ice
That the squirrels never sowed
And as I watch my breath
Escape into dry air from inside my chest
I smile because there is no sadness here
Amazed because I feared the worst
Depression and reminiscing
From the past I’ve been missing
But instead I’m met with this unexpected thing
Feeling filled with promise of the spring
And all that warmth will bring
And as I watch my feet leave imprints in the snow
I’m eager to see the green of the grass and earth that lay below
I imagine the lightness of summer air
Leaving goosebumps on my skin free the bare
And I’m excited for this new beginning
And all there is to do and see and
I feel gratitude to Mother for beckoning me
An excerpt from 11.26.2023
Mom said yesterday how bad she feels like she has ruined my life or something. I told her that isn't true. I know she didn’t do this on purpose and nothing is her fault, but the truth is that events like these make you see your life differently, it’s unavoidable. I don’t know exactly what I am seeing just yet, the full picture is not clear; I am still waiting for all the dust to settle.
Jim Carrey says that being depressed is your body’s way of telling you to wake up, that it isn’t happy playing the role you have assigned it. What role does my body not want to play? Is it the regular life role, the regular person role? Or is it this new caretaker role?
I miss my routine. I miss being able to focus on myself, on my inner landscapes, on going to the gym. But, also, wasn't I bored with that? Wasn’t that just as unfulfilling?
What do I want? What would make me happy? Sometimes I’m afraid that Claire is right, that there isn’t anything.
I try to do thought experiments to figure out what might happen if I had endless supplies of money. Would that make me happy? What would I do with millions of dollars? I could hire all the contractors to update my house and mom’s house. I could travel the world and see new sites, try new foods, and meet new people. I could spend my days learning from masters and acquiring skills in areas that interest me like playing the piano, meditation, reading cards, and writing. I could go shopping and buy pretty things. I could get the surgeries done that would enhance the way I see myself. Then what?
Are all those just distractions from depression? Is that all life is, depression and distraction from depression? Does genuine happiness exist? Can it be sustained? What is genuine happiness for me?
Everything I know says that happiness comes from within and is a choice we make over and again, it’s not just a one-time thing. I have to continue to choose happiness. If I say I am happy right now those are just words, which the feeling that is inside me does not match up to. How do I match the feeling up to the words?
I want to get there to that genuine place of happiness inside myself that is not based on a person, place, or thing, but I don’t know how. I don’t know what it is or looks like. I don’t know what it means to live that life, but I want to know. What is genuine for me?
Bubbles
I’m in no hurry today
Time waits for me
I’m going to stay in this moment and play
For as long as I feel the need
I know when I leave this bubble
It will burst and be no more
I cannot keep it and preserve it
It’s not meant to be banked or stored
It’s a gift with an expiration date
That’s what makes them unique and rare
It’s our choice and we must take our pick
Pay attention, listen for the one’s that call
Appreciate the moments you can
Both the big and small
Never Here, Never Gone
I can feel the world around me growing slippery
A structure melting vertigo
Tilting on its axis while gravity evaporates
Dislodging all the pieces of the puzzle like an anti-glue
Dissolving roots
And one day soon
There’ll be nothing left to hold onto
It all will be gone
Eaten by the hungry wormhole of time
And with nothing from the past in which to ground
You’ll find me floating amidst the new
An un unbound object in the vacuum of space
Fortune’s Fate
When desire moves the needle
Fear no longer stands a chance.
Confusion can’t hold a candle
To the clarity of the sun.
Upon the horizon will come the dawn
Lighting up their crowns.
The snake charmer
The lion tamer
The stubborn sage
Halts the crusade
Manifesting answers in his cave.
Partners may loath his methods
They are not easy those agree
But this is how he operates
When he prepares to sail a choppy sea.
Those around him only see a straw
That will break the camel’s back.
Only he knows it’s the last log needed
To float the raft.
He saw something missing
Those around him didn’t see
And without that lynchpin in place
The boat could not sail the sea.
The cohort fought him
Certain they had everything they’d need
But he knew the boat should not be launched
That it was not yet worthy.
The foundation wasn’t strong enough
To carry them to abundant shores
And when this realization dawned
Their resistance was no more.
The partners agreed
Only cohesive efforts
Would end their wait
And when the ship was ready
He too would concede
And make fortune their fate.
Appreciation
I walked to the top of a hill to be closer to source
To bath in the warmth nearest the sun
And place my bare feet on the grass
To ground myself in the Earth high above
I closed my eyes and listened to the universe
And was rewarded with a feeling of gratitude
A moment perfectly ordinary
And yet unlike any other
Overcome, I was moved to tears with appreciation
For such a gift
That so often goes totally unnoticed
