At first, I was too scared to do more than look, then something inside me said, Go for it. Intuitively I knew that if I took this leap of faith, it would get me on the road to forgiveness of all that had gone wrong in my marriage and move me forward in my healing.
Thinking of those no longer around, how I wish to speak with them now, standing on my balcony, the sun shining magnificently, so utterly lovely for winter. The birds share their songs, selflessly. The trees readying themselves with fresh buds and herbs starting to grow.
My deer have been here. I spy their tracks at the foot of the balcony. I missed them this evening. Oftentimes I catch them quietly by the edge of the porch, feeding from bushes full of berries and greens. When I see them, I toss gigantic organic green apples to them. They like it here with me.
What if this isn’t how it has to be? What if you could follow the deepest yearnings of your soul, rather than the ego’s flagrant demands? What if life could be so much simpler than we think?
Often there is a breakdown before a breakthrough. Like the little seed that doesn't know that it's going to be a mighty tree with its branches kissing the sky, you don't know what life has in stock for you in the future.

encumbered and enlightened, by this strange yet glorious existence,
of human, spirit soul-speaking, ultimate.
I want a man who won’t settle for a stable job, house, car, wife, kids, pension, but thinks outside the box for what could be possible with his time here on Earth, and sees part of that journey as making others’ lives joyful, meaningful and more sustainable.
Witch, I call you out. Start now. Don’t wait. Your soul is waiting so patiently to be liberated. Whatever condemnation comes from friends, family, or society is nowhere near as damaging as living in that too-small space.
