Day 41 100 Freedom Breaths

Sprung Loose

Joy, sprung loose from her cage now she frolics around

She’ll discover a feather and tickle the ground

She tastes luxurious honey that drips from her tongue

She encourages, jibes and entices everyone

To drink of the goodness within each tantalising drop

She will whirl and spill-out for the whole world to feel

Of the glories of childlike behaviour surreal

She dances because of the smell of a flower

She prances a top of the tall green tree tower

Within water she splashes and dashes around

Little whirlpools of splendour and ripples abound

She will lightly caress the yellow gold sun

As she magnetises each being to come have more fun

She will roll in the mud with glee on her face

Releasing and popping up fairies all over the place

She will splash as the rain pours down from the sky

Delighting in each drop of as the wind whips by

She will roll on the mountains and sing to the moon

She draws creatures within echo of her fun sonic boom

She rides rainbows and storm clouds as though one’n the same

Earthquakes and tidal waves cheer as they join in the game

The taste of red cherry will colour her lips

All music happy or sad songs will flow from her hips

She’s completely aware that the truth will never hide

Story will shatter to reveal diamonds within to guide

She will cause sorrow to giggle and play a new tune

Grief, resentment and jealousy will leave the room

For Joy’s heartfelt existence is to discover within

Each moment past, present, future true love win.

Day 40 100 Freedom Breaths

As I continue the inner exploration there is a lot of learning taking place.  It seems the deeper I go the simpler things are.  Funny that being that the move through complexity reveals simplicity.  Below is a poem that I wrote the other day...

“Dark Shadows Pure Gems”

Was now many years gone by, upon the kitchen floor curled I would cry

Children asleep, stories been read, my hand wiped gently forehead

The cold floor, earth need, for from my house I could not speed

Stuck in a hole of misery, I limped through life deliriously

They could have been days where only children song delight

But know – I had created my own plight

The gift was given of dark void within to spin

For at the time I never knew the beauty of sorrow found within

It seemed an endless pit of blackness, broken dishes, money matters

I couldn’t have know the riches I would find until heart ache shatters

Within the pieces, all strewn around were delicate wealth

I tried, I cried, I stood, I fell, I held my focus to grow children health

The songs we sung open in joy during the day

Where weeping and misery when in bed I lay

Then all at once, I realise - it’s open heart wonder and faith blues skies

When breathing within I could feel alive, and know the soul never dies

Then within small things I began to find gratitude love and heart of mankind

My daily steps more purposeful then, it’s moment delight instead of a grind

Those days now I love, within my soul knows,

Without deep dark shadows, I never could grow,

I needed to feel to know this depth true for this is the potential of me and you

To create something from the broken of heart is to echo a light into the dark

This song is a joyful and beautiful one for I discovered the essence and spark

So now when its dark and cold anywhere – I know that its diamonds, gold, gems, earth rare

These gifts are a mystery how they are found, yet life is a miracle discover in prayer.

Faith and trust remarkable songs as the message of love expresses, pure heart gongs

Day 39 100 Freedom Breaths

‎
"Celestial intervention"

As I awaken to the light of intention
A subtle shift that magnifies my attention
The release of free flow expression
Pours in streams from my soul
A readiness to be a vessel that overflows
Saturating myself in Surrender
Discovering the exquisite yet delicate touch of connection
Electrifies within me an awareness beyond myself

The deep dark shadows and valleys I have walked through
Have strengthen me beyond what I could have imagined
The whisperings of horror....that echoed have transformed into a quite breeze that teaches me
The meanderings and wanderings within the unknown have revealed patience and curiosity
The dragons and demons that once threatened me - I have now met and made peace with.
The separation I deluded myself about I can now see through the illusion

Now the time and space is right
Exposure is now my freedom
I will No longer hiding under clothes of pretence
It is imminent
I accept the awaiting presence
Truth will speak through these hands

I must before others declare this. 

Thank you ♥♥♥

Day 37 100 Freedom Breaths

Moments pass if they are not experienced.

A vast many moments have past since my last blog.    Yet growth has continued.  I have faced many internal dragons, and can smile and say that each breath and each moment has been worth it.

I have learnt that these 100 are more powerful because of the intent to do them than even the idea or experience itself.

The layer upon layer of meaning that I apply in life remains until I realise its simply a meaning I have made.  Not the first time I have remembered this nor the last I can imagine.

As I have been peeling layer upon layer of stories away from my life.  I have been incredibly shocked by how simple and easy life has become.  In a flow of living the joy of living is showing up in my life.

I had a story so deeply told that I believed it even myself!   Its changed!  I giggle a wee bit realising it no longer served me.  And instantly it feel away.

I return to my 100 Breaths again to continue this 100 day blog.

Day 36 100 Freedom Breaths

A Moment Erupts

Yes - a weak moment, a day without completing my 100 Freedom Breaths.  A moment where I was caught up in delivering in life and didn't take time out!

All is well.  What an experience.  What a joy to sit here and know that while I was completely enraptured by an event and experiences, that my awareness was high and my joy overflowed even while things were difficult.

Yay for development.
Yay for knowing how to be present
Yay for the power of breathing.
Yay for life blood powering through
Yay for experience and joy
Yay for what is

Joy Your Ride
