“If you are always trying to be normal,
you will never know
how amazing you can be.”

Art Yourself Whole

This is what I know…

Stay near to the twitch and tremors of nature’s voice as trees speak through the footpads of earth’s song.

Stay close to the ancient ways of solitude. No one can take that from you.

Trust your heart for she knows the path.

Protect yourself from those who steal your kindness.

Keep your inner circle small and safe. Let go of those who violate.

Notice how the wind answers the leaves and watch how the parched land drinks her rain so freely.

Find sustenance in the spirit’s flexibility.

Keep open and listen and pause deeply into the reservoir of your fullest passions.

​‘Art’ yourself. ‘Write’ yourself. ‘Speak’ yourself.

​Become the dreams of your call.

Feel into the medicine of your struggles: the anxiety of a thousand wild horses, a century of depression’s sinkholes of silence.

Follow your addictions to where they may lead and ask what is lonely, bored, hungry, tired?

What are these signals trying to feed?

​Lovingly support the processes of your innermost needs and take heed to where they lead you and then soar.
