Peace & Love

I am a hermetic philosophical altruist
Living in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
I am an artist, muse, researcher, mother, model, lover
Writer and dreamer of dreams that often
Come true.
I am an astral traveler.
I walk the places you’ve never been.
I live on the outside of my inside.
I am a guide, a gift, an unfolding of words.
I am an artist that
Never , always, sometimes,
Has the time to create images from the
Visions that dance in my head.
Funny how life sometimes dries you up
And soaks you wet.
I am open minded to the point that I
Feel I have lost my mind in the vast
Openness.
I have lived lifetimes in this life.
I am nothing yet I am part of everything.
I am the woman who wears her heart on her sleeve.
I love being a mother.
I bring life with every creation.
I love being your lover.
I am in love with love.
I am very sensitive and am always
Open about my feelings…most of
The time.
I tend to hide myself from the world.
Secluded in this valley,
Lost within my poems.
I am often afraid if people get to close to me they might
Actually begin to listen.
I spend a lot of time writing poetry.
Shakespeare and I are old lovers.
I hide behind my pen, making love to the paper.
I live for art, for love, for life, for dreams, for you..
I am the match and the world is on fire.
I am the phoenix rising.
There isn’t a moment where I do not see
Something and think "what can be born
from this through my womb?".
Nothing is what it seems.
Everything is what you dream.
I am beauty.
I am a nerd.
I am in tune with your inner voice.
I am an artist.

A note on the way I love so others might know my heart. To me love is to wholly submit oneself to loving another, to go beyond the mundane entrapment of love and reach some infinite spiritual awakening where two are forged into one. This doesn't mean giving up oneself in the process, surrendering to monogamy, or becoming clones. The meaning should be very clear. I await my Metatron. My heart is open. Should you care to look, I am right here waiting.


“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Nelson Mandela

What is this place called Universe?
Is there truly only one?
I see it as an omniverse
Layers upon layers of what is
And what is not
We can proceed to confine our thoughts
Limitation
The naming of all
Or we can exceed and combine our thoughts
Revelation
The unclaiming of all

I look for a world of giving
I live in a body shackled to deprivation
When I escape this fleshy cell
I am that in which I am
Love is the freest of all things
It is every-thing
To walk this path of love
Leads to eternity
The unified creation
God
Goddess
All without a name

In the silence of the early morning hour
When all is still
There is a feeling I get
That begs me to run
To fly
To hope when there is darkness
To be the light when there is none

I defy the definition of human
For we are so much more
Human relates only to the flesh
The breed of structure
Within I am tree
I am bird
I am water
I am the wind

Only when I forget
Do I ever chance to remember
