It's Been Waiting For You To Find It

If It's So Obvious Why Don't Things Change?

Our behaviour is for the most part simply on "default" and our attention spans are slowly diminishing with each new shiny distraction on our menu screens.  What we wear, what we eat, what we say, what we watch, what we ignore and what we pay attention to is being steered by circumstances outside of ourselves.  We know this.  Every self-help book is telling us this.  Why is it still such a revolutionary act for us to really think, do and have what we really want?  Why isn't the whole world asking much better questions about who we are and where we really want to go?
This question permeates everything. 
 The question becomes a quest.
 Each of us must enter into the spirit of this quest and discover the answers in our own Being.
 Theory can only take us so far.

True experience allows us to enter into the real revolution.

We are each a focal point in a Great Consciousness with access to everywhere and everywhen,
 yet we allow ourselves to be molded, shaped, managed, herded into our identities.

No one can tell you who you are or why you are here.  That's your journey.

I promise you though, when you begin to look and dscover deeper levels of Being,
 you will nod your head and smile and see what was there all along but you will know it for the first time... again.

I can't explain it to you.
You must experience this for yourself.

The secret is out there waiting for you to find it.

It's as close as your next breath.

Be Tough as Nails and Light As Air

Pain Disappears When Passion Flows

It took me years to realize the value of the quest to create an easy, enjoyable and effortless life.  I had to be honest about what I love doing and what I no longer want to do.  It took me a long time to accept that songwriting, painting and creating poetry were not an idle waste of time.  The more I allowed myself to play, the more resistance I felt inside telling me that my life would be a waste if I did not start doing something more important with my time.  When a promotion was offered to me at work, I knew that there would be no energy or time left for the spontaneity and concentration needed for good solid artistic creation.  I wanted to explore my Consciousness in a way that Carl Jung had done with his own Psyche.  I knew there was stuff inside but my job would never address these longings but I needed to build my bank account and feel like I was accomplishing something.  

On the day of my decision, I had no idea what a wise move I had made.  That was over 10 years ago and the beauty and fulfillment of my artistic quest told me stories about myself that still excite me and scare me and thrill me all at the same time.  We are creative Beings designed to work in synchronicty with this great Universe.  When we are in our zone, the pain of what we are doing is so worth it and we can't wait to unravel another part of the great mystery.  When I look at the image of these beautiful ballerina shoes, I see the absolute joy and lightness of Being knowing that it has taken so much blood sweat and tears to move like this.  That's the key.  When we do what we love, its just part of the growing.

On the last day of your life, will you be glad you took that promotion that filled your bank account but sucked the very life out of you?  My late husband left this life at age 33.  He taught me that we cannot take time for granted.  I encourage you to follow the things you love to do and be guided back to your adventurous and playful heart.

Love to you always,

Within Each of Us is a Garden

                                          "Bryan's Garden", Toronto 2019

Immerse Yourself in Your Longing

Within each of us is a dream of a place of warmth and open heartedness where we are free to speak our truth and live the way we feel is the best way to live.  A place of aspiration and possiblity, a place of acceptance and nurturing.  Sometimes we lose sight of this knowing within ourselves, but always,
with a little effort and Grace, it comes back to us.  

Sometimes only in glimpses and other times in a bonifide three dimensional experience which found me here sitting on this beautiful bench in a place called "Bryan's Garden". His intention for designing this place was a reflection of my own desire to sing and create in the name of the dreams we all hold.  All summer, I met incredible people with so much love and artistic zeal.  This place relies totally on donations and good intentions.  It is a neighborhood spot open to anyone who needs a break from the monotony of city life.  It is a place of free hugs and wonderful conversations.  

Why not create a space like this for yourself?  For your neighborhood?  Within each of us is limitless creativity.  Why not design something that adds peace and love to the world?  Why not dive into your Self and discover treasures just aching to be discovered and brought to the surface.  Your very intensity of desire will set you on a glorious path of true Being.

Thanks for dropping by,
Love to you always,
