Outwardly Seeking

Musings from my days as clarity ebbs and flows.

"It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments." -The Invitation by Oriah

"I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being. So whether the other person changes, becomes different, friend turns into a foe, does not matter, because my love was never dependent on the other person. My love is my state of being. I simply love." - Osho I am love.

[wordsnquotes]

I want you. I want your sleepy confused look when you wake up. I want to be the warmth that fills the space in your bed. I want to be the sheets your fingers crave at night; the blanket that wraps around you all night. I want to drink tea with you, share some records we find. I want to talk about everything in the world newspapers. I want to discuss with you, to be stubborn and quick-witted with you. I want to have differences between us. I want your flaws. All of them. I want go into the deepest corners of your mind and never get bored of you. I want to be surprised by the new all the time. I want to look at you like a movie, a living piece of art; always trying to chase what you crave … and capture you.

Can't quite put my finger on why this song resonates so much with me this week...quirky, playful, lyrics, or sound. I am digging it all.

Great Ex-pectations

“Love doesn’t fail us—it’s our expectations that fail us.” I've always asked the universe for signs that I'm on the right path to love. Yet I find myself disappointed after recent connections. I recently got the biggest most beautiful sign. It was a life changing weekend as I knew it would be, but funny how my expectations were something different to begin with. The lesson was the universe always provides, but be sure you know what you're asking. It's no longer a question of signs, I realized I am ready. Universe I am ready to experience an amazing lifelong soul connection with my wholemate. Open sesame.

QUEST

Take me past the guarded place in you where confusion covers itself in unrelenting confidence then marches on In lively steps Take off the façade let it fall away into nowhere Turn around and face me I search the infinite depth where beyond all entrenchments I find your thirst to be met and understood the sadness in your bones, the want of your silent cries to be heard and be known— abiding within those unseen landscapes is a world of precious dreams Let me touch where the battle wounds lie quietly healing— Buried beneath an armored sheath rests a lifetime of love and loneliness, blame and triumph, honor and defeat Within this blended web of scars and treasures, glistening with honesty, there you are— I found you, beneath the soldier’s plated heart So loosen the knots around my own see all its agony bared and mending and in between each open space we’ll breathe upon the frailty All the wishful longings to be had bring to me yours as I meet you there with mine. -Susan Frybort

I know this transformation is painful, but you're not falling apart; you're just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful. -William C. Hannan

New year, new old struggles

We spend a lot of time living in our own beliefs that may or not be true. What happens when those beliefs or story loops do us a disservice and perpetuate the attraction of negative energy? (Ie: career, money, relationships, self-love) How do you break the cycle when you start creating stories around a situation and begin believing them? How do you recognize this when its happening, because shit, it's happening again!
