expansion
breath out
bounds down
roll out
expand over the span of time
this is where i live my life
expanding beyond my body
beyond my limitations
into my expression
under my breath
there is life coming in
sometimes its slow
this pace is mine
sometimes i unfold quickly
like an accordion book falls open on the table
ready to read
there is no such thing as secret
everything is living out in my soul
and everything about me is open
and unfolding
expression of self
into the world i live in
in sweet gentle time
expansion takes its own right time
winds of change have to blow thru and clear the path ahead
so that we can walk smoothly
confidently
into our expanded self
i like that.
i like taking my time now
its new to me
to savor all the present moments with out rushing ahead
and i like how i allow myself to expand with ease
natural like breathing
fluid like water
flowing like rivers
growing like vines up the trellis
all these physical expressions
are visible with time
and expanding in my life
one breath at a time

cruising...
so i'm cruising now...
Its been an eventful, soulful summer.
I have traveled many back roads and many side streets. and every moment was worth while.
There is a new clarity in my being and I am so grateful I have taken this time for Creative Sabatical. Its not quite over, but I have definitely felt a shift. Theres a little more work to be done now. and I am ready for the process...

my identity
I laugh at my own identity quite often. who am I ?!?
I am a core center with many outlying extremes.
I have been traveling my extremes this summer ... mostly on the insdie.
its a summer time thing i think. body alive. body opening up. sucking in more air. running harder and faster in the sun.
one of things i like to do is lay down in the sunshine and dream about possibilities. and warmer weather makes me feel free and naked, and i am back in that place of imagining...
who am i?
what can i be? trying on different degrees of existence.
sometimes i feel soft. flowing river. sometimes i feel edgy. stronger. sometimes i feel ready to fight.
sometimes i am quiet. i can laugh so loud too. i can be sentimental and full of love.
and sometimes i feel like i can barely scrape the scabs off my wounded existence to get to the healed and whole essence of who i really am
its not the long hair
the color of my face after running
its not even the way i have to shave my legs every single day or go itchy crazy
its not my office with all its trinkets and colorful things
or my closet that is almost always messy.
not my fingernails which go from long and painted red to short with dirt under the edges from paint or pulling weeds from my garden
its really not any of these things
its not all the things i want to try on still
its not the super short hair, red again and curly
not the homemade skirts with a thousand pockets
its not the motorcycle i want but have never driven
its not the paintings i have never painted
its not the candles i have never lit
its my core
and the core of you that overlaps in me
every one of you
overlapping into me
and making me delighted
puzzled pieces changing places and rearranging our pictures
each moment i accept a new version of me
the one that gushes up to the surface
and i kiss it
i try to embrace it but it disappears
each moment that i discover another side of me
ready to explore
and i try to let go of any expectations to be anything but who i want to be in this very moment
and that is probably my greatest challenge
to just be who i want me to be
but i am
sloathing off all the outside influences
and letting my breath create
each next moment
each expression
of my
identity

You have to feel it...
Dreams are little visions that parade across the mind's eye.
tiny pictures which point arrows towards the paths i can take on this journey.
When I get attached to a certain vision... then I start to remember it over and over.
giving the options of unfolding a little more grace in my mind...
working out the kinks, playing with the options.
but sometimes the vision starts to fade
the details get hazy and the purpose of the dream is no longer alive
this is when its time to pause a moment
you have to feel it
and today thats what I am doing... i'm trying to connect with the emotions that make up all my dreams.
what is it that we really long for?
what is it that we are reaching out to experience????
because its not in any THING
its not in any PERSON
its in me already.
and i just have to FEEL it.
remember it.
wrap it around me
you realllly have to feel it in your body. in your being.
in your frame of mind.
otherwise its just a motion. repetition. boredom. lifeless attention to detail.
and thats not where you feel alive.
....
lately i have noticed that distractions are everywhere around me
soaking up my attention and leading me away from my visions
but thats ok.
thats summer .... and i like summer for this reason.
but today i am feeeeeeling all my dreams and reconnecting to what i want for my life.

breaking all my crayons .......
.............. the last two weeks i have been down in the basement of my soul.... cleaning out all kinds of boxes. boxes stuff full of papers i never even read before.
and you know those back corners of the closet.... behind the boxes of shoes, behind the rod of clothes... the place where you find safey pins and lost bras. yeah.... i went there too. found all kinds of lost pieces of time.... places in my memory that were lost when the moon went down.
dragging it up and airing it out. washing and hanging it out in the sunshine on the line.....
and now.
now.
i know myself better than before.
i know pieces of my life that can only be looked at in retrospect, with
magnifying 3-d glasses.
and now.
umm.... i am so amused.
so crazy happy
that i am listening to the music as loud as the speakers will let me
and coloring with my permanent markers..... all outside the lines you know.
messy
breaking all the rules
and breaking crayons in half ... twice.
i'm going crazy happy.
now.
sitting on top of the world, feet dangling over the edge. and from up here it all makes perfect sense.

now i'm rollin
I've gotten a good groove going. I finally got focused enough to really dive head over heels into some creative projects and I am just now coming up for air.
I think I'll sit here on the side of the project pool for a few minutes and dry off...
hahah
But. not long. I wanna dive back in and keep with this flow.
I really feel like the next phase of this creative sabatical is starting to gel in my mind and in my visions ... so.... whats that mean? it means it will start being a part of my hands on reality soon.
I see it, I think it, then I make it.
I want a really good run. then a good book. then a good nights sleep. tomorrow is gonna be a day for diving in again. my computer is humming. ahhaha
(ps. nerdy spreadsheets are dancing in my head. ) LOL

summer sabatical updates...
well....
so here I am.
quite a few weeks into my official summer creative sabbatical.
i have organized. i have painted my office. i have sorted through information. i have jotted down many notes. i have been moving at an easy pace. i have been building in bike rides, hikes, poolside book reading and coffee shop walks........
its just what its supposed to be and I am very grateful.
but i want to also acknowledge and talk about the underlying tendency to buck against this process and just go back to my old way of doing things. its a challenge to trust this process and keep believing in this way of easy-ness.
I had a chance, then two, then three chances to lease a building last year for The Divine Playhouse. I walked away from each...
why?
Because I have a wise heart beating in my chest and it is beating out a new rhythm for me. It is pumping life through my body in a new direction.....
I am here to breathe in this new experience before moving forward. I have carved away this time to create REST in my life. A PAUSE POINT. a moment of reflection.
I am giving myself the time to create with no expectation. no time line. no audience.
I am giving myself time to think.
The struggle the last 24 hours is what to "do" to step into a creation mode.
I know a lot about this hesitation before the SURGE of power that becomes CREATION.
what I do not know a lot about is how to handle my irritation with this moment. this irritation with myself for not being able to do it more smoothly.
so I waver in procrastination and fumbling.
i scoot things about. i make excessive messes. i clean them up.
and then finally i dive in.
i sit.
i stand.
i sit again.
until finally i am able to quiet the chatter of life and step into the moment of bliss.
the moment of CREATION
so maybe its a CREATION SABATICAL....

synthesize
Synthesize - this word means to put something together, to make something out of different parts. If you stitched a quilt together from different scraps of cloth, or built a car out of parts from a junkyard, you would be synthesizing. In chemistry, synthesizing means putting together new molecules. The act of synthesizing is called synthesis.
I have been laying on the couch, or the porch, or in the bed a lot this past week. I read, nap, take notes... get up planning to do something, and then fall back into the same heap of concentration all over again. lots of synthesis going on...
Even though we often use the word "synthetic" to describe human-made materials, synthesis also happens in nature. When the body makes molecules of DNA or proteins, we say the body is synthesizing these molecules.
*********internet definition******
The last week or so has been very interesting. I have been very weak physically. moving slow as if my mind wants every ounce of my energy to process information... or maybe its another part of my being that is in overdrive.

Summer Possibility ~ from the Life List
It might not be summer yet in your world... but my summer officially started today.
I was walking back from 5points the other day with a friend and we started talking about horseback riding... and I said "Its on my life list to ride horses on the beach. I'm gonna try to do that this summer.... " and so I started thinking about a lot of things on my life list. I picked some out as possibilities for this summer.
******POSSIBILITY******
* start the porch parties
* read a fiction book in a hammock
* ride horses on the beach
* swim with dolphins (just signed up for this! end of july)
* go out on a harley (with a driver!) and take a ride on a back road
* hang a swing in my house
* lay a blanket in a field during & dream like a child.... no limits
* sing live karaoke (just did this!! and will again :)
* paint and send letters to friends that are written on huge sheets of butcher paper
* paint an entire block with sidewalk chalk… bring in people from the neighborhood to help (ah! I did this!! cool... I'll do it again)
* take my backpack and hang out in a seclude corner of the park with my laptop all afternoon
* make webpages that tell stories of the people that inspire me
* camping
not pushing to make all these things happen...
just going with the flow.
and SURELY other great things will fill in all the gaps ....

even MORE pleasure please....
Whats your **pleasure*** ???
what makes you feel undeniably grateful to be alive?
do you know your satisfaction?
Is it something you have
is it something you feel
something touched or
is your pleasure a state of experience
I have found that people sometimes shy away from the word ... pleasure.
or put it off.... pleasure later.
deny it... never. not for me.
or turn away. walk away. and walk into dissatisfaction.
no pleasure....
* ~ * ~ * ~
I am stepping into the middle of my experience of pleasure.
I have walked to the center and I am bellowing out my desire for MORE.
more freedom
more movement
more releasing
more space
more experiences
more flavors
more dancing
more singing
more exchange
more sunshine
more moonlight
more stillness
more beauty
more pleasure please
Arms open wide.
Room for more.
This is my life
and I am enjoying this Pleasure.
unbounded.

i am so stoked about working on these projects!
i love my life.
i love my life.

i am very much filled with gratitude.

so i moved everything around again...
if you know me...
you know i move things around a lot.
really... i think its a lot of fun.
i change every day to some degree... why should i keep walking around in the same scene?
its kinda like an environmental art project to me. i rearrange my environment and i echo whats going on inside me.
i have been inside organizing everything in my studio/office the last few days.
i have been sorting out art supplies.
& creating a massive spreadsheet "flowline" pages that map out possible paths for my summer & fall in regards to kastle key (yes, this is true i am a computer nerd)
and i have also been pulled into a massive organization of my house pictures. let me tell you, this has been on my personal wish list for 3 years now. its giving me a lot of satisfaction to create a little storybook of memories using all these photos. i'm happy to share it all, but really its for me. so that I can remember. so i can read the story again and again and remember how much i absolutely love my life. how many blessings have been there for me because i have believed in the power of life. its there for every single living breathing one of us... but this is my story and i relish in the details.
yeah, im happy.
check out my photography journal .. and click on "house love" to see what i'm talking about.

life doesn't stop... so i just keep on rollin
the last three weeks have been a little odd. i set a new ball in motion when i decided to move some rooms around. i'm still trying to get things settled back into their new place. i also accepted work on a few outside projects and i got a little lost from my own work while helping others. i am trying to refocus and reclaim my boundaries a little bit right now. what is it that i am focused on?? huh?
i think i will spend thursday trying to get my studio set up in a way that will delight me a little more. right now it just seems to be a big mess and every time i walk in i want to walk right back out, or come to this corner and turn my chair so I am looking away from it all.
its time to lock all my doors, and hide away for a few days.
its time to imagine everything finding its place. to imagine order.
life doesn't stop.... so i just keep on rollin.
in the undercurrent of confusion, all my projects are still alive and rollin along with me.
i just need to get a little clarity so i can see everything clearly again.

Wild Things..
.... you can trust your desires.
they are leading your heart. desires are like little episodes of possibility that play on your minds eye. what do you see? what do you quietly dream about when all people have exited and its you alone with you?
lately i have been pushing the boundaries in my mind. thats where they move first ya know. in the mind before the world around thee.
I'm pushing out farther now that spring is here. its the green. its the tank tops and barefeet that are feeling sunshine again. i feel alive.
hibernation is behind me and i've slothed off the blankets and sleep and I feel awake and full of wildness.
everything mildly wild, outrageously wild, remotely adventurous has my attention right now. motorcycles and dancing naked running through my mind. ahhahahah alluring. ahhahah
i listen to the whisper. i turn my head when I catch fascinating out of the corner of my eye. this is HERE to move me. to take my hand and lead me farther into my destiny with MY life. my experiences.
there is nothing to be afraid of.
there is nothing to hold me back or limit me.
my wisdom runs deep.
i know myself
my discernment is keen
my wildness is untapped.
ahahha I am laughing now... thinking of the sign i made years ago.
"this is the wild woman's journey.
diving into my rich flowing core.
pursuing truth.
Finding more."
and the journey continues for me.
and i absolutely love it!!!

Trusting the Process
I was drinking my morning coffee in the bathtub this morning... (morning bubble baths are so different than evening ones.. a whole different mood and thought process is followed) Anyway... it was morning sunshine and visions of how my day might unfold...
and I was noticing that as much as I am relaxing into this creative sabbatical in my life, as much as I am enjoying it and riding a wave that is effortlessly carrying me along.... I still have to focus on trusting the process.
I used to be more comfortable trusting hard work to get me somewhere. I was used to setting deadlines for myself and pushing myself to accomplish things more quickly.
Now I am teetering. Transitioning from one way of being into another way of being is not one distinct step in most cases. this has been a process of accepting more relaxation and pleasure into my life. this has been a process of observing myself riding the wave effortlessly and easily. there's an ocean of life under me.. and its moving me across miles of water while i am resting. while i am dreaming. while i am trusting.
again i am grateful

dreams i am touching
warning : i am having a slight coffee buzz. i haven't had afternoon coffee in awhile and i just got a latte :)
ok... there is so much going on in my little world today. i am blissed out.
in case you don't know.... my winter hibernation has moved into a summer sabitical. a creative sabatical. I spent the last two months creating this digital vision board/brainstorming notebook on my computer that has been so much fun and now I am looking for a place for the summer that I can use to start building all this stuff! if you come across any opportunities let me know. (think garage with an ac unit.) a workshop. a place where i can paint signs, haul in couches, paint furniture, store tables... that kinda place. ideally I would like it to be sorta close, so i can pop in whenever. i am so excited. this is going to be where I can really create.
two other things... I think I have more money coming my way again ;) I feel it coming. so I'm pretty excited about that, because the last time it came in I was able to shift my schedule to what it is now, in order to make time for all this stuff i am creating... and this time I think its going to be just what I need to get my operating budget to the level I would like before moving into our new space. I knew it would be here for me as soon as the timing was right to move forward.
I keep seeing these amazing visions of whats just up ahead. these pictures are so real, so tangible, i feel like I am walking in a dream while awake. i almost don't know what is real and what is a vision. when this happens, I know my visions are beginning to collide with the energies that have been set in motion to create in reality. walking reality.

The Place of Gratitude
Once you move into the place of gratitude....that's when it all comes together. That is when we are really in the essence of creation.
It is in the place of complete expectation and belief that gratitude swirls around my being and everything falls in place.
I am in that place right now.
I have full knowing that all is well ... all is very very well. Miracles are happening as specks of dust move and swirl to orchestrate this new creation.
Its a remarkable, microscopic process that has the power to move boulders and align me with all the resources and opportunities needed.
I am grateful. I am in a swirl of happy blissful gratitude.

What to do after Hibernation ......Creative Sabbatical
We had a beautiful snowy day yesterday. It was wonderful. All this hibernating has been just fabulous. I have had so much time the past few months to rest. I have climbed under the covers with my dreaming machine. I have scribbled endless piles of notes. I have sorted and organized my visions into order. I have had countless cups of hot tea, and even more hot bubble baths near midnight. Its been great.
Its surely nearing an end though. The little jolts of spring like sunshine are becoming more common and that makes me feel like moving.
The big thought in all this.... I like this flow.
I reeeeaaaallllllly like this way of living. ahahhaha
I like not rushing. I like napping often. I like making my creative process very lucid and I really like all this alone time I am giving myself. I want more!
So.... I was thinking I might transition my hibernation into a sabbatical. I keep hearing that word in my head.
I called Sark yesterday and she said she was taking a creative sabbatical! great minds thinking alike ????... this is exactly what I am talking about here.
Consider me moving into Creative Sabbatical mode....
I imagine this will mean naps on blankets under the dreaming tree. spring breezes and bike rides spent pondering the details. maybe i'll take my pad and paper from the couch by the fire... to the firepit outside on a springy night.
this is good.
edit : since sitting with this idea for awhile, I have decided to rename this to my summer sabatical. i like the double Ss
