Innergies

as rain trickles down hidden terraces, flowers bloom inside her inner eyes

swallowing fear is easy as shoving water through a hole, a helpless cause unless one has direction

creation exudes and precedes human folly, we crease at our pages hoping God finishes our book

On Obtaining a Worthy Vessel

Tired of being a body under ur palm Clay, malleable, forced into the mold Burning up the vessel hollows

It’s emptiness creates shape Ornate, a ghost behind metal Merely an empty vessel

Pouring hot iron Twisting, braiding it’s hair Building baskets Places to carry underneath your breast

I grow cold, cooling after the fire’s moan Cooling after the fire’s roar Smoldering flames choke up And feel me - dissipate

Shipped home, sold Carried and placed neatly on the mantle A doll, a courageous panel An empty vessel atop a christened mantle

Higher Self Speak

It’s just you. The best parts which is all parts. You try to separate yourself from me but I am always there waiting for you to dissolve and fray the curtain that keeps you from me.

Living within the Boundaries

You were taught to compartmentalize people, places, and situations for “convenience” with the idea that it would make life easier to denote who is whom, what to feel, what to do, and what not to do.

You are caught off guard when this idealized reality cracks and frays as the “real world” slaps you in the face.

How do you release these illusory standards to become a genuine person - to be you again?

• Commit to your intentions and see them through. Thoughts pass and come in an idle mind not being used for productivity - let them go. Remember the choices you have made reminding yourself to see these choices thru in each second of the day.

Those around you become you, the objects around you become you. You are not swallowed up but connected.

This video is the chanting of Hare Krishna, a mantra referred to as the “Maha Mantra” or the great mantra. In this video,  A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada sings the song alongside school children. 

hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare hare rāma hare rāma rāma rāma hare hare

The mantra made up of three Sanskrit names of the Supreme Being; "Hare," "Krishna," and "Rama." Chanting or singing the mantra places us in line with the Supreme Being, whether you call it Source / Goddess / God / etc. 

Chant or sing this mantra whenever you forget you are connected to the divine.
