Winter

Winter is upon us.  The season is beginning to ripen and I feel blessed to be apart of it all.

There are times, especially around the holidays when I feel a little bummed and frustrated by this society.  

Consumerism, greed, regret.  They flood into the jolly spirit and trample anything beautiful. 

But I managed to hold on to a few pieces of greatness.  The grace of my steps over the last few weeks have placed me into new opportunities.  I was given beautiful gifts in honor of the christmas spirit and I am forever thankful for them.  I will cherish the moments spent with the wee tikes until the day I rest.  They have come to mean so much to me.  

My time now is spent catching up with the year.  Realizing I'll be 25 soon and preparing for the largest journey I've ever been on.  A trip around the country, by train, all my myself.  An expedition of the 21st century.  A journey into society and it's corners.  A soul searching endevour.  I am blessed this season.

Leonard Cohen Christmas Moments

Among the garbage and the flowers.


there are children in the morning.

they are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever


and you want to travel with him
and you want to travel blindly
and you know you can trust him
cause he’s touched your perfect body
with his mind.

Burn One Down

Little houses on little hills in the high desert of this southern land.  

The fire is burning in the stove and I am feeling comfortably warm on this solstice.

I feel alive and filled with wonder.  This short day has been spent relaxing and believing in the possibilities.  My intentions have not changed in the waning months.  To learn how to grow is the key desire.  Even though my fingers have been out of the dirt and in the air I have still learned what growth means.  On an even deeper level, I have learned about growth within.  The personal journey is as beautiful as the evolution of the seed.  It is a seed in its own sense.  A seed of life, awakened and growing, learning and developing.  Only it is special.  It has the choice.  The choice to grow more and more and live in each moment.   

I believe this solstice is special in many ways.  I believe we are in the cusp of change.  I believe change is happening in my life in these very moments.  A growing up process is taking place and I am in love with everything about life.  This year has  been a wild ride.  Filled with deep emotion and true love.  I look back and listen to Ben Harper in this mining shack of old.  And when I rise with the morning sun, I know that the journey is just begininng.  The sun will gain strength and so will I.  The coming year brings joy and understanding and especially growth and love.

Relocalize

i'm working on it.  

learning how to strengthen my localvore ambitions and grow the vision throughout.

how to relocalize in a town surrounded by a toxic mine?  how to decide weather to stay or go?  

I look at the power of growth in this town and envision what beauty could take place.  

I meditate on this semi cloudy day and find power in the moment.

Thank You
