Healing Muse (aka Rap P-P-P-Poem)

Posted on October 28, 2013 by mysticmandala

Sometimes it’s right to bend & give.

Other times it seems good to defend (maybe):

Be strong but not rigid, soft but not smushed.

Love yourself when your buttons are pushed!

The truth is out. The Muse is in.

If you are lost, remember your friend–

Inside your heart, waiting for you

Just show up and love; she’ll pass you a clue.

A little spontaneous blurb of Truth

Will appear to you while pondering the…

Roof of your head, the wisdom inside:

How to live life with nothing to hide…

C’mon now–Get going! USE this sweet chance:

Jump up and create. Sing! Dance!

Open your heart, spread joy to those friends

Who turn to you when needing a mend.

Look IN here. Look UP! Your own love will heal

That wound in your SELF you’re afraid to feel.

Thank goodness, this GIFT! … Bless the Muse in me…

Without her, I’m simply

………………………. . . . Asleep in the Dream!

(I wrote this poem a few months ago, but I think of it often. It came to me kind of “all at once” as many of my poems do. I was thinking about what a gift creativity or “The Muse” is in life and especially in the growth-and-healing process. She really can help us find BALANCE. And also remind us that love, especially for one’s self, is the key to whole game…)

Dreams that BLOOM

Posted on October 26, 2013 by mysticmandala

GROW your garden…

(YEAH!)

Grow it TALL…

The flowers and the creatures

And the fairies a l l

Want you to prosper,

Want you to THRIVE…

With a sweet garden

Where you can dive

Under the bushes

And inside the trees–

The energies will embrace you:

Birds, plants, and bees!

When you are struggling

And when HAPPY, too,

The garden’s a place

Of healing for you.

So…don’t delay now:

Find a piece of earth!

Connect with the mother

Who wants to give BIRTH

To a very special spot

Just perfect for you–

A garden for growing

Dreams that BLOOM.

Your Gloom?

Posted on October 21, 2013 by mysticmandala

Magic dances

Deftly around me,

As sprinkles of moondust

Fall from the shadows.

Your GLOOM,

Quite simply,

E v a p o r a t e s.

Yellow Ginger Love

Posted on September 21, 2013 by mysticmandala

There is a flower

Called yellow ginger.

Her smell so sweet,

Her stalk so slender.

Her healing powers

Are deep and pure.

Placed behind your ear

JOY is for sure!

Just pause for a second–

Take a breath and SMILE

While the magic builds

A little while…

Soon it will flow

Into your HEART

Awakening LOVE

To do its part…•*¨*•…❤

Diary of a Mystic Gypsy, Take I

Posted on July 30, 2013 by mysticmandala

Part One: TODAY

What a gift to be living in a little cabin in the Pacific NW where I can have a the door open and a fire going at the same time. It’s so peaceful.

Soothing.

I love it!

But, in the broad scheme of things: the town here is pretty sleepy…

Still, aren’t there just so many incredible places in the world?

Choosing a place to live is like being asked what part of myself is the most important aspect. What part do I really want to grow and develop and where physically would that be most supported? I’m so diverse, it’s hard to say what part I most want to develop. I really want to live in nature, but I want community near by. I like a climate that is warm, AND I also like to feel a bit chilly at times. I like the beach and forests. I like the mossy NW gardens and the tropical Hawaiian ones. I like the perpetual springtime of southern California (but not so much the dryness). I also love the classic seasons of the North Carolina mountains but there I miss the sea. I want a good source of potential patients–people who may be interested in and receptive to my gifts…given at my highest and most easeful, fun, and creative level. I also want a place where I can feel inspired to make art, write, and grow my own food. And I want interesting, fun, conscious, and loving people to interact with socially and professionally. Sometimes I think I want to ski above all else. “That will make me happy.” Other times, I think swimming with dolphins is the greatest thing I could possibly imagine. I dream of dolphin-assisted therapy and dolphin-art-healing retreats. Eventually, I envision starting a nonprofit related to art + nature + healing and kids. And then I think “just loving”, which can be done anywhere, is all that matters. Probably where I am isn’t nearly as important as I think it is. Mine is a journey of inner discovery that I am simultaneously taking externally, it seems.

Really, I’m guess I’m looking for a place where I can feel that I am embodying my highest self, whatever that is or could be. (Though one might reasonably ask, “Is it really up to the place to do that?”.)

At the moment I feel calm and supported, peaceful and happy. I am grateful for the rest. I am also grateful for the journey.

I think I may be home…for now,

though I’m beginning to discover that perhaps I never left ..♥..
