Grace
Grace,
I know
I know you reside in the depths
of the ocean of within.
I call upon you, Grace
come lift me
thus I am drowning in the fierce winds of grief.
Grace,
I know you
I've felt you before
and I know you are there, still.
I call for the full moon
to rise,
to bring high tides
to resurface the ocean from within
and reveal you.
Grace,
I know you are there!
I feel you at my very core.
Come out! I beg of you...
and conquer my life,
my heart,
my sight,
in this challenging time.

my heart,

Today, the Earth is mourning
Today,
the Earth is mourning,
cause my heart, today, lays ten feet beneath the ground.
Goodbye my love. Goodbye.
Today, the sky is crying,
silently letting go...
of the expectations of tomorrow.
Farewell to the memories,
of a distant future.
And with the last sight,
remembering the days that we once had.
Today,
the Earth is mourning,
cause my heart, today, lays ten feet beneath the ground.
Goodbye my love. Goodbye.
So just for today,
I will let the river run,
I will let the sky fall in thunder and storm,
cause I know tomorrow it will nourish me somehow.
Somehow, I trust the sun will shine again,
and what once was gone,
will resurface transformed.
Today,
the Earth is mourning,
cause my heart, today, lays ten feet beneath the ground.
Goodbye my love. Goodbye.

A Letter to Death
I write to you Death.
You've been in my mind lately, you've been so present lately.
I guess I've been always in such a rush to grow up, and now that I am, I'm feeling scared that there is not enough time.
Not enough time to LIVE.
I write to you Death because I want to let go of that part of myself that always questions,
that part of myself that always feels that needs to do more to be enough,
that minimizes and says "this is nothing", "that was nothing".... and demands more and more.
I need to be better, do better!!! Try harder!
The girl that gets scared and wants to run away cause she feels trapped.
I guess death, what I am trying to say is that I'll miss the feeling of a hot summer day when the sun just set, and the sky is wearing pastel colors, birds are flying and still singing even though it started to get dark. A fresh crisp breeze comes in with no invitation, bringing a wave of vitality and life. A soft yawn from mother earth plays very softly in the background, and you know.
I guess death, I am saying I wake up everyday knowing that it is another day, and even though there are uncertainties, I also created certainties.
Death, I just sometimes feel I haven't accomplish what I am here for, I am just getting a sense of what it is. And yes I know, I hear you saying that I am doing it already but you know me I need to do more, be more- do more to feel that I am more.
Let me tell you death, I want to let go of that and at the same time I don't.
I feel so much love from Mother Earth, I feel so much right now from people in my life and I just don't know how to repay. You see in my life, I had to repay, that's been the way.
So my dear Death, please teach me to feel the sacredness of this life at all moments, teach me and remind me the sacredness of my being that I don't owe anything and nobody owes me. That life is about being, and in that being we just provide to others and others to us- by simply existing.
My dear Death, coming to this life you are the only certain- there is no escape and yet I don't feel trapped.

Reflections
When we accept death, any kind of death, we welcome and invite life IN fully....
Letting go of attachments, of any kind(expectations, relationships, goals...), we then are able to welcome FREEDOM to our life.
... the key?
nothing is certain, nothing is forever, we do not own anything and nobody owns us, we do not owe anything and nobody owes us. Our body, flesh and bone, SACRED as this moment, as this breath. In and Out, then the moment is gone or welcomed- that is completely up to YOU.

In my Heart Today
Blue skies, the sound of birds, and wind chimes bring a sense of hope and possibilities to my heart.
I cannot ignore though the sadness that my heart feels today,
as I cant ignore the ring of love that holds and embraces my sore chest.
How can I live my life feeling that so many empty spaces exist in the world,
spaces that are silent were compassion and passion should live in them,
moments of covering or hiding, when discovering and allowance should live in them,
spaces were we believe ignoring is the safest, healthiest, and most reasonable thing to do.
Behaviors that shouldn't be allowed, that are NOT allowed, to my perception of what Love represents!
behaviors that can be changed with kindness and community.
When did I started to believe that I can not heal? myself and what is around me.
When did I began to believe that this is what it is... that no big changes can occur because our society, our systems would collapse.
The world is just too big. The damage is just too big... already too big.
If I am connected to all, then every second there is a part of me that dies and reborns.
If that is not a possibility what is it then?

True Nature
You can call me tree, cedar, willow....
It really doesn't matter to me,
I know who I am anyways
As I stand strong
with my roots expanding into Mother Earth
juices of love and health flow back to me
in balance and with strength
I am here occupying this space
Where I stand
my branches reaching the unknown of Father Sky
sighs of wisdom, caressing me
shouts of thunder, challenge me
No limits my branches have, against gravity I grow
towards infinity and the mysteries of life
I am here occupying this space
I am free
It really doesn't matter to me,

with my roots expanding into Mother Earth
juices of love and health flow back to me

my branches reaching the unknown of Father Sky
sighs of wisdom, caressing me
shouts of thunder, challenge me
No limits my branches have, against gravity I grow
towards infinity and the mysteries of life
I am here occupying this space
I am free
