The Song Of A Hummingbird

"Am breaking some formats and just going with a complete inspired moment of poetic prose, solely based on the observation of one particular hummingbird over the past few months.

It has been a gift to watch the magic of "the birds & the bees", so to speak.  The habits and mating rituals of nature is simply amazing to witness......love on"

The Song Of A Hummingbird

He sat atop the highest branch of the Alder tree, singing to the vibration of love into the open , eternal skies.

The leaves began to bud and the tree became filled with the lush, green life of summer.

He came every day to drink from the nectar of the nasturtiums on the terrace high above.

With each encounter he would dart off into the rambling blackberries below, singing his song of bliss.

The land became dripping with the abundance of figs & plums to sent the air on a delicious, sweet drifting breeze.

A companion comes to dance & fly among the sky & trees, and brings a new dimension to his song.

They hover atop the blackberries as they sing together the most joyous and rhythmic sounds of beauty.

The winds begin to blow the leaves far off into the western skies, and the melody of the hummingbird remains imprinted on the wings of time.

He flies with freedom, knowing there is separateness in togetherness and the winds of fate will always guide his way.....singing into eternity.

You never know when, where, how, why, who or what will inspire the creative mind.  It is about living in freedom....the freedom that is only attained from within.   We all have the access and capability to utilize it at any moment.  Living in the wind and soaring to meet our destiny is akin to living the reality of all our dreams.  We are truly are here  to live a joyous and abundant life, so whatever that is to you, go and live it....live it hard, fast and free, live it with joy and love in every breath.

Just get on, and fucking live it in love ....life is bliss!!!

Brother Bones & The Gypsy Queen

Well here we go into another turn on the path!

This is definitely one of those lean hard and low types of corners....where you feel the imminent sense that at any second the ground will swallow you whole. From this viewpoint the only thing to do is go harder!

This sums up so much of the intense energy and warrior-like tendencies in the air.  Many unexpected events are occurring rapidly....there is no time to take our eyes off the horizon line.

The Gypsy Queen hits the road once again.....

In a weekend my whole life went into a new dimension.....
As I travelled a piece of highway (that is one of the most familiar pieces of pavement in my life history) the car crammed with my belongings and my child size skeleton "Brother Bones" riding shotgun....I had to laugh and cry all the way.

The laughter was humour at the looks from other drivers and the tears were pure grievance!

What a crazy duality it was. 

The sadness of what could have been and the tears that followed for what never can be, were soul cleansing. The joy of new beginnings and the flutter in my heart somehow over rode the sadness as I drove along...wind in the hair and sun on my back.  

This was a blissful state to shift into.  The outcome of that 'lean hard and low' corner on the labyrinth of life was exhilarating. ...and a lesson in love and trust that I can never regret taking so hard!

Here comes the next stretch of open road.....bring it on!

Let's Ride Lovers!!!!

Heartache & Enlightenment

"There are some life experiences that leave us with a raw sense of self, love and devotion....sometimes it can leave us with a hole in the heart so enormous the universe can slide right in." - OJO

Heartache can be used as a method of opening the heart in what I have come to know as a bare-ass exclusive pain that opens the soul to a whole new level of truth and inner reflection -  we are stripped down to nothing. We are raw and open to the experiences that await us, to begin again and learn with a wiser heart. 

The pain that is felt so tremendously is simply the other side of the love we have, both are felt equally.  Using this energy of love now becomes the task at hand.  This intense energy of pain-love is the instrument we are given to repair and re-create a new love story, with a better knowing of what we want to give and receive with another.  

Here is our opportunity to fill the void, to fit in all the aspects of life that bring us joy and love.  To be free, to create artistically, to write, to sing, to dance, to be back to a sense of child-like fun, to live with the wind at your back! 

Life will always take unexpected turns, some more extreme than others, some even fatal.  Getting back up and living the journey is when the hands of love lift us from the ashes and we rise as the Phoenix to a new horizon.  We are given a new road to travel and with an expanded heart we share the highway of knowledge with those we are yet to encounter.  We have learned the art of of an enlightened heart!

Lean Hard - Love Hard 

The adventure begins in love & trust!
