bigger and bigger

39_bigger_and_bigger

The container you’re trying to put me in is not even big enough for my baby finger. For I am not just this body, but I stretch way beyond the edges of the known universe. I am sound. I am light. I am energy. I am the vastness of everything conceivable. I am all of us. Our pain. Our wisdom. Our needs. Our desires. Our collective ability to be courageous and heal, and after we’ve healed, to grow, to create and embody the kind of future we truly want for ourselves. I am that huge, because I am not alone, not separate, not in competition. So, you see, I am too big to be stuffed into the little bag you would have me inhabit, too multi-limbed, too connected, too free. But you have a choice, you know. You can strain yourself, draining your life-force trying to push me down so you feel bigger, or you can let go and allow the universe to fill you, the way it has filled me… And then you can be big too.

project 139 – two

your present truth pulses through my veins. hearing you this deeply dissolves my inhibitions and melts the protective layer i often wear.

solar power

In my dream, your body is soft and warm. Your fingers on fire. I melt at the place where our flesh meets. Your face is a brighter mirror of my own. Your eyes just as full of knowing. Our hearts, vessels of yearning. As you bring your lips to my ear, you whisper, Hafiz told me, “Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.”

project 139 – one

my heart moves in many directions. it bursts in as well as out. it shrinks and jumps and swells — each equally beautiful and messy.
