Deconstructing Is Bursting Your Own Bubble

March 19, 2025

Everyone begins their life inside some context. Inside that context, things make sense to you. People who were also born into the same circumstances live there, speak your language and have similar ways of thinking. There is nothing wrong with the place you come from. It is home. You might always feel most comfortable with people who have a similar background and come from the same place you do. The problem is when you think the way you are is the best or only way to be and you devalue others, ... Keep reading

Deconstructing is The Point

March 15, 2025

Deconstructing is about breaking yourself apart so you can become more malleable and also receptive – able to accept and handle more and more. The more things you are able to accept and love, the more you are becoming love yourself. Then you love all manner of people and things; there is nothing you don’t love. Deconstructing is also about becoming open to how big the world is and all the people who are different from you. Not everyone is like you. Your goal is to love them ALL.

We tend to ... Keep reading

Ineffable You

February 22, 2025

There is something inside you so beautiful and ferocious it cannot be fully known or expressed in words. It is your job to protect and preserve it, and to let it loose on the world when the time is right. Not everyone will honor it the way you want them to, but even if they don’t, it doesn’t lose any of its power or vitality. You will always be able to locate it and get back in touch with it in its primordial state.

The ineffable you is eternal. Not everyone remembers that all the time. (They ... Keep reading

Triangling

February 22, 2025

Peace is not made by avoiding or even just reducing the intensity of conflict, but by moving through it with eyes wide open and the knowledge and hope there is something better on the other side. We become belligerent and irresponsible in our communication when we believe there is no hope for resolution or when something we value deeply is at stake. Then we also act in contempt, believing there is nothing redeemable about the other side and that they deserve to be destroyed.

Valley Maker – A Couple Days

February 15, 2025

Time is just a game I play

It’s written on the ocean’s waves

Circling beyond my brain

Something I could not contain

I know it and I cannot stray

The part of me I cannot break

The loss of you beyond the gray

I’m sticking to the chosen ways

I picture you inside my brain

Reminding me to say my grace

Reminding me to be amazed

I missed ... Keep reading

The Spirit of Things

February 12, 2025

There is this Spirit we all know. You know it when you see it. And just like heaven, it always takes you by surprise. That’s because it will not be contained in any one place or by any one person or by understanding itself. It is free, and it is traveling around, in and out of spaces, and weaving itself through and around things. Then it appears, like a bird landing on a rail in front of you, out of nowhere and for no good reason except just to make itself known to you again.

You can feel its ... Keep reading

Damien Jurado – Museum of Flight

February 11, 2025

Falling to the groundI was anxious to be foundYou can always go homeTo the safety of your cloud Don’t let goI need you to hang aroundI’m so brokeAnd foolishly in love I turned around to love revealingWhat did I learn? It’s not that easyWhen you get burned and go on burning loud Falling into soundIs that less defeating pathOne day we will go homeTo the safety of our clouds Don’t let goI need you to hang aroundI’m so brokeAnd foolishly in love I turned around, my life was changingWhat did I learn? It’s not that easyWhen you get burned and go on burning light Don’t let goI need you to hang aroundI’m so brokeAnd foolishly in love I turned around, my life was changingWhat did I learn? It’s not that easyWhen you get burned and go on burning light

Florist – Shadow Bloom

January 19, 2025

So the rain comes back now After I asked it to You could not come back now Even if I asked you to

So light comes from a time already gone If I could see the future I would lay down Eat a tangerine and make a cup of tea Watch it all happen the same way Watch it all happen slowly

I could have the reasons why But it wouldn’t make anything right Do you really want to know the thing You spend your life trying to find

Go back to what you love the most There’s dark inside the stars, that’s where I go And the spirit realm that calls me in Whisper water from the shadow bloom I don’t have the reasons why But it wouldn’t make anything right Do you even want to know the thing You spend your life trying to find Secrets from the last time you felt alright Loneliness is only the last flower to be picked

It’s the dark part of me now The part that knows what can be felt It’s what our eyes see when we dream Beautiful things where the light comes from

Oh, what a special time I can’t believe it happened at all The spirit days to make hell of Your words inside my head Oh, today is the only day

How to feel all the earthy things
