Barbara's Story

The most beautiful thought Is the fact that I, I have always loved you Even before I knew what those words meant I knew that I loved you and that I was loved by you Without knowing your name, where you were from Or whether you were happy or perhaps sad at times I so deeply loved you, infinitely I dreamt in the sound of your voice And bathed in the color of your love I sought solace in the thought That you were somewhere out there doing the same as I was Like how at night I would often close my eyes And lay on my back with my hands outstretched to the heavens above It was there that I felt as though I could feel your hands in mine Our fingers interlocked with only time and space between us And I would watch as our arms would spin In small circles through the cosmos As if hand in hand we broke through the barriers Of what lies free from our understanding Maybe it's naive of me to think that a love like this could exist But I suppose what other option is there? I was built to believe in the impossible And my imagination is incapable of anything less than Every cell and fiber of my body understands this to be true That on the other side of me, there exists and always has existed, you The most beautiful thought Is that maybe each and every heartbreak endured Was merely a bridge to one another Or that perhaps the love I had found behind the eyes Of the strangers I had met along my path Were but reminders that I was one step closer to you My love, how I have yearned for you And the way in which I see you and feel you This pulsating beat trapped underneath my ribs It beats for you and you alone Is that not proof revealing itself? I don't suppose I will ever know the answer And I'm content in my role as an architect Of answerless questions There's beauty in that truth And oh, the beauty of belief The fabric on which love stands The most beautiful thought Is that you exist, that you The equal to me in every way exists And that no other shall see me the way you see me And no other shall see you the way I see you This is the most beautiful thought Without knowing your name, where you are from Or whether you are happy or perhaps sad at this very moment I so deeply love you and I am so deeply loved by you, infinitely That is the most beautiful thought by: Forest Blakk "They didn't expect so many warrior spirits. They didn’t expect us to stand together. They didn’t expect us to walk from our careers, to leave our shoes behind. They didn’t expect us to boycott our old ways of living. They didn’t think we would give up our social activities. They didn’t expect us to do without restaurants, sports, or concerts. They didn’t expect us to find new and better things to do. They didn’t expect the free thinkers to be so resilient. They didn’t expect our souls to be so filled with passion and strength. They didn’t expect our intuition to be so tuned in. They didn’t expect the fire within us to put all of hell to shame. “They tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.” or was it us all along? "author unknown" When You Come Back to Me Again Song by Garth Brooks There's a ship out on the ocean at the mercy of the sea It's been tossed about, lost and broken wandering aimlessly And God somehow you know that ship is me 'Cause, there's a lighthouse, in a harbor shining faithfully, Pouring its life out across the water, for this sinking soul in the sea That someone out there still believes in me On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out, 'Til we reach the circle's end when you come back to me again There's a moment, that we all come to, in our own time, in our space For all that we've done, we can undo if our heart are in the right place On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out, 'Til we reach the circle's end when you come back to me again And again I see my yesterdays in front of me, unfolding like a mystery, Your changing all that is and used to be On a prayer, in a song, I hear your voice, and it keeps me hanging on Oh, raining down, against the wind, I'm reaching out, 'Til we reach the circle's end when you come back to me again When you come back to me again I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I prayed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hopes apart And they turn your dreams to shame And still I dream he'd come to me That we would live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed Sacred Wild Woman Medicine · The deep woman channels pure source energy. The deep woman has come here to change the structure of existing forms. The deep woman has come to bring the earth back to a conscious awareness of creative and spiritual power called feminine light. The deep woman is a force of natural radiance that cannot be stopped. The deep woman has moved beyond craving material and external fixes for security or fulfillment. The deep woman has found, over countless years of breathing open, that she has been invited by Life to dig into the depths of existence. The deep woman has to confront, meet and face what presents as illusion on this earth plane. She has to learn to leave the mind-space and return to her body. She has to keep going deeper, deeper and deeper into her sacred core until the purity is restored there. She has to pull out all the old magic that has been forgotten and disused. She has to walk a path of stones before she comes to her fresh garden. She has to remind her beleaguered heart that the wisdom lies in her body, her feelings and her never-ending, flowing cycles of energy. She has to rise above her weariness again, and again, and again. She has to persevere, remain, stay alive even when she wants to leave. She has to keep going. Every day, every hour, every breath. She has to keep breathing because her deep nature tells her that the earth needs her breath in order to keep turning. Her breath informs her that she is connected to angels, to radiant ones, to illumined ones, to ascended ones, and to the Great Goddess. The deep woman reaches a point in her journey when she must clear out on a very profound level. She must refuse to collude with the sleeping masses, the TV and media-drugged, emotionally-blocked and hardened, ego-led world. She takes herself away from the superficial, the material, the external forms of fake, glittering nourishment. She strips herself of outer accouterments and gets down to the bare bones. She begins to live with the wolves, the moon, the trees, the soil, the ocean, and the stars again. She takes up residence in her inner temples, tends to them lovingly, is captivated by their Light, and promises fervently to never again leave herself. The deep woman finds herself regularly immersed in silence, as this is her eternal home. The deep woman discovers an aching desire for unguarded intimacy with all life. The deep woman seeks out only truth, because she IS truth at it's very essence. The deep woman rarely speaks out in haste, and eschews gossip. She has cultivated a richly-textured spiritual awareness and presence. She chooses words and ways of communicating extremely carefully, as she knows that to be deeply authentic is the greatest gift a woman can give. The deep woman carves out a wide space for herself on this planet now. She nestl...Expand for more
es herself into the earth, connects her chakras to the grid-points of Light, and opens her ancient womb to the Goddess. She allows all the divine information held in her cells to radiate and lead the way. She connects with her womb and its precious blood. She looks into others' eyes as a sacred practice. She touches others and lets them know that they are safe. She makes love with her fears: she melts open with her fears, enters fully into them, and gives them permission to move through her body. She gives great priority to the magic held in the Third Eye. The deep woman crosses thresholds that evolve consciousness. The movement of her life creates large-scale transformations. She represents evolution of the Soul. The deep woman has seen it all, witnessed it all, died over and over again to it. She has birthed it all. The deep woman is rarely acknowledged or named in our commercially-driven, deadened-soul world of external fixes and material gain. The deep woman is an illumined dream of truth in a soporific, numbed, heart-hardened, adrenalin-fuelled, disconnected, fear-induced nightmare pretending to be Life. She is love, melted and blazed open, in all it's forms. She is healing, patient and enduring. She is transformation, wildly courageous and over-and-over-again reborn. She is the totality of nature, embodied in skin, bones, flesh and blood. She moves her body with intention, speaks with resonance, places her awareness in the highest dimensions, and converses with the Mystery. Deep women have spent eons walking in the forests, hidden in the mountains, swimming in the seas, and praying in the temples. They may not speak of these things directly, but know that all their experience is contained within the wondrous gaze from their eyes. They can teach you a thing or two about life, about love, about how you spend your time here, and most importantly - about the gifts of your Soul. Deep women walk among us, and thank God for them. The Goddess sent them here, to reclaim the deep life for everyone. The Earth soaks them up and refuses to let them go now, as their vibrational brilliance and sacred profundity is as vital to sustaining Life on this planet as oxygen. These women are embedded in the earth. They are most resolutely taken care of by the cosmos. They are prized jewels of the universe. Deep women affect everyone they come into contact with. Deep women are here to restore open presence, heart-wisdom, breath, blood, mystery, and soul-listening to our planet. Deep women are manna from heaven. Deep women are the ancient, fragrant notes of Earth's song. Deep women are called into emitting the frequencies of their beings, without reservation or hesitation, to stir the dulled memories of a blinded humanity that has lost it's way. Take the hand of a deep woman, and you are making a promise to yourself. You are reminding yourself that this is the life you remember, and it is the one that matters most. Everything in your life will conspire to bring you into her aura once you are ready. The intuitive life of a deep woman is rarely spoken of - but the daily sacred acts of these women are keeping the earth open to the possibility of new life. The Deep Women hold the future of our planet in their earth-covered, compassionate and light-filled hands. ~ Sophie Bashford The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. Rumi The Call I have heard it all my life, a voice calling a name I recognized as my own. Sometimes it comes as a soft/bellied whisper. Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency. But always it says: Wake up, my love. You are walking asleep. There's no safety in that! By: Oriah The Dance I have sent you my invitation, the note inscribed on the palm of my hand by the fire of living. Don’t jump up and shout, “Yes, this is what I want! Let’s do it!” Just stand up quietly and dance with me. Show me how you follow your deepest desires, spiraling down into the ache within the ache, and I will show you how I reach inward and open outward to feel the kiss of the Mystery, sweet lips on my own, every day. Don’t tell me you want to hold the whole world in your heart. Show me how you turn away from making another wrong without abandoning yourself when you are hurt and afraid of being unloved. Tell me a story of who you are, and see who I am in the stories I live. And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice. Don’t tell me how wonderful things will be . . . someday. Show me you can risk being completely at peace, truly okay with the way things are right now in this moment, and again in the next and the next and the next. . . I have heard enough warrior stories of heroic daring. Tell me how you crumble when you hit the wall, the place you cannot go beyond by the strength of your own will. What carries you to the other side of that wall, to the fragile beauty of your own humanness? And after we have shown each other how we have set and kept the clear, healthy boundaries that help us live side by side with each other, let us risk remembering that we never stop silently loving those we once loved out loud. Take me to the places on the earth that teach you how to dance, the places where you can risk letting the world break your heart. And I will take you to the places where the earth beneath my feet and the stars overhead make my heart whole again and again. Show me how you take care of business without letting business determine who you are. When the children are fed but still the voices within and around us shout that soul’s desires have too high a price, let us remind each other that it is never about the money. Show me how you offer to your people and the world the stories and the songs you want our children’s children to remember. And I will show you how I struggle not to change the world, but to love it. Sit beside me in long moments of shared solitude, knowing both our absolute aloneness and our undeniable belonging. Dance with me in the silence and in the sound of small daily words, holding neither against me at the end of the day. And when the sound of all the declarations of our sincerest intentions has died away on the wind, dance with me in the infinite pause before the next great inhale of the breath that is breathing us all into being, not filling the emptiness from the outside or from within. Don’t say, “Yes!” Just take my hand and dance with me. © Oriah Mountain Dreamer, from the book The Dance, HarperONE, SanFrancisco, 2001 I had all his books all his poems.. back in the seventies, his words were everything... then I grew up, lost all my books during one of my moves and he seemed to slip away from me, Just recently I came across him again and fell in love with his words all over again.. so I ordered his book and just love getting lost in them again. Song Without Words Lyrics I wanted to write you some words you’d remember words so alert they’s leap from the paper and crawl up your shoulder and lie by your ears and be there to comfort you down through the years. But it was cloudy that day and I was lazy and so I stayed in bed just thinking about it. I wanted to write you and tell you that maybe love songs from lovers are unnecessary. We are what we feel and writing it down seems foolish sometimes without vocal sound. But I spent the day drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and looking in the mirror practicing my smile. I wanted to write you one last, long love song that said what I felt one final time. Not comparing your eyes and mouth to the stars but telling you only how like yourself you are. But by the time I thought of it, found a pen, put the pen to ink, the ink to paper, you were gone. And so, this song has no words. -Rod Mckuen If the Sun our Earth orbits warms our body, Sirius, way out in the depths of our galaxy, warms our soul.
