A Streetcar Named Desire I had seen this movie before, and I knew I was being called to watch it again at this time because it carries messages about the interplay of feminine and masculine desires. This rewatching proved to be deliciously powerful. The sisters, Stella and Blanche, represent the two options available to womenContinue reading “A Streetcar Named Desire”

The Cave
When the cave takes you, it swallows you whole It’s the belly of the beast And yet I was not scared I was protected And secure in that cave Not only from the outside forces But from myself In that sanctuary, I could unleash the full power of my being without fear I could letContinue reading “The Cave”
Eternal Dancer
Do you remember when We danced with crystals in our hair and prayers carved into our skin Under the moon and stars And in the caves of Inanna Shafts of light finding us In the cloak of night Drums beating with our hearts Rhythms pulsating with our souls We danced inside the music We knewContinue reading “Eternal Dancer”

When I was in sixth grade, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a naked man lying curled up in a ball on my bedroom floor.

We instinctively try to avoid it, shove it down, numb it, blame others for it, etc., but only by going right through it canContinue reading “Transmutation”
Communication
Religions are based on spiritual messages filtered through human channels, each with their own backstories and biases. As the messages manifest in the physical world, there are bound to be details that are specific to that human’s framework of experience and understanding. Their life experiences will color how they translate the messages, the result beingContinue reading “Communication”

If you’re asking, who am I to change the world? The answer is, you are the only one who can. You are the one we have been waiting for. You are the hero of the story. You hold the power. Not just in a metaphorical sense. It is all up to you. You must ownContinue reading “Hero”
