* The Meditation Room *

Good morning from beautiful but chilly North Carolina! We have a cold front moving through for the next few days, which makes the clear forecast crisp and beautiful for miles!  Thank you for sharing such wonderful knowledge and wisdom with us, RiAN! I adore posts like these, and greatly appreciate your willingness to nurse this thread through April.  xo

Thanks, RiAN! I'd love an intuitive reading! xo

Fascinating, RiAN! Thank you! I am a water element with air rising and an earth Moon; therefore, my balancing element is fire. I feel the blade is the element of fire used very wisely lest I dry up my water, scorch my earth, and potentially fill the air with toxic plumes of smoke.  

I practice Feng Shui, place certain red aspects in my home to balance out with the fire element. Particularly in the South/East corner of my home ( where it draws in love ). Too much red is associated with anger and destructive tendencies, so I have to be careful what I use and how dominatingly visible it is.

I loved the rune knowledge! Fantastic! And I loved your quote of the day. xo

OMG! That totally took me back! So many things I had forgotten about!

Me meeting the faeries when I was young. ( Not really, but it's how I felt. )

I don’t care how spiritual you are.
How long you can melt in the sweat lodge.
How many peyote journeys that have blown your mind, or how well you can hold crow pose.
Honestly. I don’t.

I don’t care what planets fall in what houses on your birth chart, how many crystals you have or how vegan your diet is.

I want to know how human you are. Can you sit at the feet of the dying despite the discomfort?
Can you be with your grief, or mine, without trying to advise, fix or maintain it?

I want to know that you can show up at the table no matter how shiny, chakra- aligned or complete you are- or not. Can you hold loving space for your beloved in the depths of your own healing without trying to be big?

It doesn’t flatter me how many online healing trainings you have, that you live in the desert or in a log cabin, or that you’ve mastered the art of tantra.

What turns me on is busy hands. Planting roots.
That despite how tired you are, you make that phone call, you board that plane, you love your children, you feed your family.

I have no interest in how well you can ascend to 5D, astral travel or have out of body sex. I want to see how beautifully you integrate into ordinary reality with your unique magic, how you find beauty and gratitude in what’s surrounding you, and how present you can be in your relationships.

I want to know that you can show up and do the hard and holy things on this gorgeously messy Earth.
I want to see that you can be sincere, grounded and compassionate as equally as you are empowered, fiery and magnetic.

I want to know that even during your achievements, you can step back and be humble enough to still be a student.

What’s beautiful and sexy and authentic is how well you can continue to celebrate others no matter how advanced you’ve become.

What’s truly flattering is how much you can give despite how full you’ve made yourself.

What’s honestly valuable is how fucking better of a human you can be, in a world that is high off of spiritual materialism and jumping the next escape goat for “freedom.”

At the end of the day I don’t care how brave you are.
How productive, how popular, how enlightened you are.

At the end of the day, I want to know that you were kind. That you were real.

I want to know that you can step down from the pedestal from time to time to kiss the earth and let your hair get dirty and your feet get muddy, and join the dance with us all.

A modern day call to shifting from spiritual consumerism to returning to human kind...

Gratitude to the Unknown Artist

A great reading of  the great Norwegian philosopher, Peter Zapffe's, "The Last Messiah". Of particular interest to we Poets is his brilliant interpretation of "sublimation"...though the whole essay is a spiritual and psychological masterpiece. His writings are only now beginning to find force is the post-modern world of the 21st century.
