Flying

 

My favorite dreams are flying dreams

Sometimes I find wings have grown out from my arms

-        While they are beautiful and painted with shades of vibrant color

They are more impressive in strength and ability

I soar

The winds

The heights

Perspective and Power

 Other times I am as I am

-        But my mere arms have discovered new potential

My body buoyed and propelled

My arms guide my flight

I slice through the air

Navigating speeds and direction

My favorite dreams are when I fly

I have flown fast and I have flown slowly

I have reached high heights

               Looking far down at my home in miniature forms

I have flown low

Skimming just above the ground or treetops

I have flown great distances

When I’ve had to rest in the current of wind

The force of air holding me up from beneath

Once I flew through walls and structures

Another time through trees

Parting branches with my head, feeling them along my body

 

Rarely do I dream of landing

When I dream of flying      

 I FLY!

I fly and fly

I don’t think of landing

I do enough landing when I am awake!

When asleep I wish  T O    F L Y !

  Peace stood quietly Called to me by name An invitation Just outside the border of my chaos Mind in over-drive My effort to solve, understand and achieve           It was not an evaluation           There was no accusation           His arms were out           Palms up           An invitation Peace called to me And I could answer and go Or I could stay           Peace would not enter my swirling chaos           There was no place for him to stand           To be with Peace, I had to leave           Step out of my mess of striving           To choose Peace stood quietly And called to me by name Invitation Peace invited me to stand At the border of my mind        ...

  Warmth The sun on my face The fireplace at night Leaning into the embrace of my lover           Penetrating heat           Security           Calm and quiet Touching the depths of me as I linger I soak in warmth Coolness The gentleness of a blowing breeze Soft and calm on my face The sound of falling water The mist that surrounds me I soak in the peace of stillness Calm and Cool I am refreshed Strength The rising feeling of potential                Building on what has come before Endurance and Testing Successes and failures                The reward of Persevering Growing deeper still                I feel the increase of strength I have much more to do!                 ...

Levels of Healing - ? -

Image
  I have recently gained new understanding of the process of healing from emotional wounding. I am passionate about the ability we all have to heal from trauma and deep pain. We need not be limited and defined by it forever. I have found that the process of healing is intentional and not merely a matter of time or “moving on”. To heal one must face the betrayal, trauma event or relationship that caused the pain and walk through the process of identifying the impact it had on them. One must grieve and be comforted. Often working through anger and disappointment is required in order to forgive and come to a place of peace. I have found that it is possible to experience freedom from the anger, shame and deep sorrow that is often the result of trauma or deep emotional wounding. I have experienced my own journey of healing from physical and sexual abuse. I have also worked through relational tensions, betrayal and loss. In all these journeys I have experienced a kind of process that i...
