Pilgrimage of the Inner Light


Pilgrimage of the Inner Light

Hushed between two heartbeats

Created by Author

Down the broken road, against the sands of Time, we wandered — barefoot, bewildered, becoming — each step a question, each silence a hymn. The wind carried whispers of forgotten names — stars blinked like ancient eyes remembering.

We’ve traveled inner lights past the shadows of doubts — fear wore the mask of wisdom — and longing danced with loss beneath moonless skies. Yet even in the dark, something shimmered — a pulse, a promise, a breath that refused to vanish.

Fragments of us scattered like petals in stormlight — unwavering the soul — does not mourn its scattering. It gathers — not with hands, but with presence — each shard a mirror, each wound a doorway.

Into the inner world of knowing we arrived — not as conquerors, but as pilgrims of grace. Here, the silence speaks in colors, and the broken road becomes a river of gold.

We sit now in the hush between heartbeats — where time folds inward and the self dissolves.

No map

no name

no need

— only the joy of being, and the knowing that we were never lost.

Much gratitude for those who take time to read, ponder, and allow the inner workings of self to come forward. Grateful for the feedback, love shared, and, more importantly, the Dance with Inspiration. Deep Peace.

Putting the Pieces Back Together

Putting the Pieces Back Together

 

Taken by Author

What’s this scattered across the floor —
A thousand-piece puzzle, broken glass,
Million fragments, all the same.

Sitting.

Staring.

Into space.

Taken by Author

Lost in thoughts of present moment.
Sitting quietly enough, still as such,
We listen with an attentive ear.

Cluttered by the day, infused with sound — Natural rhythms, often trumped
By a favorite song from a favorite source. Struggle to pair or piece — Interlocked, adhered by other means.

Resist.

Accept.

Taken by Author

For all have a purpose.
Assembling not required.

Time lapses beneath a favorite tree, Or nestled in a sacred setting. We travel — song to song — Clearing thoughts, escaping the day — Finding ourselves in vibratory match.

Where does the joy come from?

The putting together of scattered pieces?

Or merely in the presence of all there is?

No Mind. The purity of the song emerges. Birds, squirrels, passing fox — Gifting new melodies, As the Canvas of Life was meant to be heard.

Unaltered.

Magical.

The animal kingdom speaks.

This morning, with coffee in hand, Little Red scurries across the yard —
A red squirrel, sharing a song To me, and whomever wants to listen.

Joy was always present.

Recently, I took on another remodel project — a bathroom that was five years overdue. My usual way of doing things wasn’t going to work this time.

With no time off from work, I had to learn to chisel away at the excess. A difficult process for someone used to bringing down the thunder and completing projects rapidly.

Five months later, we’re coming to a close. It’s been a worthy experience on so many levels. Nothing but gratitude in my heart.

I realize the Pictures do not follow the words on this page, but all things flow simultaneously.
