THERE IS MORE FOR YOU

There is more for you
than what never showed up.
More than what never came to be.
More than what couldn’t transpire
or find a way to work out,
and it looks like healing
and shaped like possibility.
Let down by family or parents,
past dreams and expectations.
Put off by relationships,
romances, careers and ideations.
There’s another path to explore
and alternate routes to travel.
There’s a tribe meant to welcome,
with encouragements to fuel you.
There are hearts that want to hold you,
and kindnesses that long to see you through.
There are other ways to meet with love,
as kinships waiting in the wings.
There are fresh fields to run in
and warm pools to swim.
Hold on bright child,
there is more than
what never appeared...- Susan Frybort, Open Passages

I used to spend a lot of time debating whether a love relationship was for me. It was like I had a list in my mind, one that required a certain number of checkmarks before I could proceed. And then I experienced real love, and all the lists vanished. Because real love doesn’t do lists. It doesn’t care about checkmarks. It doesn’t debate pros and cons. The timing may be off, but we never question how we feel about the other person. If we are, it usually means that the love isn’t there. Because if it is, we don’t make checklists. We just know. - Jeff Brown

Sunrise by Mary Oliver

You can
die for it-
an idea,
or the world. People
have done so,
brilliantly,
letting
their small bodies be bound
to the stake,
creating
an unforgettable
fury of light. But
this morning,
climbing the familiar hills
in the familiar
fabric of dawn, I thought
of China,
and India
and Europe, and I thought
how the sun
blazes
for everyone just
so joyfully
as it rises
under the lashes
of my own eyes, and I thought
I am so many!
What is my name?
What is the name
of the deep breath I would take
over and over
for all of us? Call it
whatever you want, it is
happiness, it is another one
of the ways to enter fire. - Mary Oliver

Tesla’s said: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. Nothing can highlight this more than cymatics with just a vibrating plate forming beautiful patterns that are relative to the geometry of the plate and the frequency of the vibrations. Just by changing the frequency of the vibrations these patterns change from unregulated chaos into a beautiful symmetry, but for Tesla to be right and the secrets of the universe to based on energy, frequency and vibration. The cymatic patterns that we can form by using sound vibrations must be mimicking a universal process that is continuously unfolding throughout the Universe. This video will put forward the idea that this universal process is formed by light in the form of photons vibration with the spontaneous absorption and emission of photon energy. Even if we do not add vibration in the form of sound, the vibrations are always there in the form of photon oscillations with the future unfolding with each new photon electron coupling or dipole moment. This is because the Universe is never at absolute zero; if our eyes were more sensitive to the different frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum we would be able to see that everything radiating photon oscillations or vibrations continuously.

It’s a different thing, to make a relationship sacred...

It's a different thing, to make a relationship sacred. When it's just the love you honor, you are still in tow different worlds. You love her, she lovse you, but what stands between you? What of the bridge between your hearts? What of the world you become together? Conscious relationship is all about the third elemnet - the alchemical combination of two souls merging, the living breathing world that you co-create in love's cosmic kiln. It's the difference between loving and serving love. It's the difference betweem the narcissistic quset for ecstasy and the joys of deep devotion. You serve loving. YOu are a devotee to the dance. The conscious-nest is a world unto itself. - Jeff Brown, Hearticulations
