with offering bowl

there is no where else to go,

there is no one else to be,

you are home.

mjd - 2016 - 'you are home'

there is no map for finding yourself.

you are already an inextinguishable light.

know that all you need to find inner peace

exists within you.

i am home

i am home

i am home

spoken 108 times must surely bring you closer to believing. 

the bowl hits around belly button level - or in the area of the sacral chakra. the place of compassion, emotional stability. 'i am home' demonstrates a confidence, a comfort in your own skin that allows you to be honest and open. 

surrender

mjd - 2015 - surrender - 

sterling with sleeping beauty turquoise & red coral

freedom is gained

in releasing.

life is change. 

our white-knuckled grip 

of clinging

to avoid that which is inevitable

brings great suffering.

our hands tire and ache.

mjd - 2015 - surrender

when finally we open them,

allowing our fingers to stretch,

we exhale 

and soften.

everything softens.

and in the act of surrender

we find the peace

we had been seeking

all along. 

you are home

mjd 2015 - offering bowl

there is no where else to go

there is no one else to be

you are home.

there is no treasure hunt 

to find yourself -

you are already

an inextinguishable light.

learn to be

grow quiet

dig in

right here

right now.

know that all you need 

to find inner peace

already exists within you.
