The seduction imposed on us by vibrant reminiscence can drag us into the despair of continuous repetition of sad memories,
just as easily as it can lead us…
into the highest triumph of freely creating a new counter-gesture: the dance.
From then on, our movements become lighter than air, ethereal gestures into space, away from all heaviness.
Rhythm, cadence, syncopation reach ear and eye, and man is unobtrusively dragged back into the very beginning of his existence, together with others he undergoes a common regression.
Close your eyes and see.
I’m dancing, dance with me. Dance with my children.
I am drunk with the power to change my mind, to know my history, to build a nurturing environment for myself and family, to create powerful names to live by, to live the abundant life. I am high off my ability to stand firm in truth, even when I have to do it alone… this is my body, my identity, my life, my future, my NOW! I am transforming back into the [in]volved spiritual systems of my ancestors and more!
I shout because I’m alive, and grateful, and honest, and full with Love and patience. My chalice runneth over… so so so grateful.
Modern-day thoughts and proverbs by Shila Iris and a few others♥♥♥. Good morning.
If my ability to hear, to see, to feel bothers your ability to hide the truth… you should wave at me from a distance. It’s okay. I will not lie to myself to make you feel comfortable. You shouldn’t either. For anyone. Be in Love with the Truth.
What if spirituality was learning how to keep the peace in the face of challenge?
Having been through so much pain, my reaction isn’t the same.
Having been through heartbreak and betrayal,
and having had my life flipped, my reflection isn’t the same.
Having lost and gained, and lost again, I learned what God can do.
My spirit isn’t the same. Changing faces, shifting perspectives,
these things only made me better. They made me whole, again.
What if nothing in the world was against you? Every experience was happening to make you grow?
I appreciate the love I get, each and every day. Love, for me, is constant care and attention. We’ve only got today.

Thank you for visiting.
P.S. Yesterday, one of my closest friends trucks flipped over after being hit from the side by a vehicle that was going too fast in a construction zone. This hurt me deeply. My friend climbed out of the sunroof of his totaled vehicle and walked away with a sore body and very little injuries. I am so grateful. He’s in my life, in my thoughts, and in my heart, every day. I love you now. Peace. I am here.
