I once thought struggle was punishment.
I now know it is purification.
The soul is not here to be comforted ~ it is here to be revealed ~ and revelation often arrives disguised as ruin.

House-builder, you are seen! You will not build this house again. All your rafters are broken, the ridge pole shattered. My mind has reached the unconditioned; I have attained the destruction of craving.
~ Buddha
Tonight I seal this door,
not with anger,
but with truth.
You are free to go.
And I am free to dream alone.
Whatever is unsaid,
may it be said in silence.
Whatever was unfinished,
may it rest in peace.
Nagual, erase the thread in the dreambody.
Let them drift to where they belong.
I am no longer looking —
I am remembering.
Let them find me by the fire in my chest,
not the mask on my face.
Let us meet with no past to drag,
only presence.
Nagual, bring me the mirror that reflects my soul.
You are not gone.
You are in the wind that says my name.
In the silence after breath.
In the memory I didn’t make, but feel.
I release you from grief,
but I never release you from love.
Nagual, carry this flame across lifetimes.
Some people wonder why I go so hard in the gym… I wondered why also.. then I saw this quote ~
Physical pain is a distraction from emotional pain.
And everything makes sense now.
My entire life has been a series of awakenings and a series of new lives. I’ve lived many different lives. It’s been a constant process of refinement. With the shedding of each old self, a new life has bloomed, closer to truth each time…closer to the light. Closer to my truest self…closer to god.
