dancing flame.

talks of brevity where i am finding the language of grace to describe what is explosive to some; chaotic to many but how do you find the wording to place a stirring that never stops. how can i convey that still waters are my home; a resting place i come to eternally but not until i get my garments a little dirty; not until i ruffle a few feathers and surely not until i watch a burning furry signaling what’s to come in its place. i am positively, hopefully and entirely enamoured by the construct of constructing. building a new and connecting dots for worlds we have yet to see. the midwife to what was forgotten because it simply felt impossible. that is what i do and do best — hop upon my flying disc and whisk myself away to do the work. to fashion something out of nothing and then, and only then can a sanctuary serve me. a resting place is just what it is when every waking moment is declared holy. what’s sacred to an altar? the answer is everything and i am finding the wording to string together daily to position myself to this. what is boundless cannot be contained. this is a declaration to what is eternally free in you and me.

allowing my body and bodies to feel a liberation so foreign puts a move on my heart. and it’s the freedom to feel, the freedom to bellow and burn from within. the freedom to be pained. the freedom to rise from that very pain like a Phoenix. the freedom to learn from the pain and fall in love with the sanctity of feeling good. the freedom to feel good. the freedom to walk out on a limb for yourself and call it grace or an awakening but the freedom to self-care yourself right into sovereignty, making your very existence a service, do you hear me? the freedom to declare eons worth of medicine and healing as a mechanism to unchain your heart. you are the remedy. the freedom to soften. the freedom to know the expression of this body, though a temporal resting place, is a temple.. a sanctuary. a freedom to lick the insides of your mouth for the right flavor of truth. dig and find freedom so foreign, it puts a move on your heart.
