May we be awake, aware and loving
May we extend our hand to all of life
in a kind way
and a different kind of way
May we bloom in the soil of our soul
no matter the weather
May we live as if love
matters
May all bees be well
May all beings be well
Blessed be
Blessed bees

Hey Mind!
Hope you don’t mind,
I want to ask you…
What are these wanderings that you do?
My mind, being seen n' baffled…
Tumbles…and fumbles…
Hmm...I too wonder…
‘bout my restless wanderings…!
Ah, well never mind…
I ask my mind again…
What is it that you keep longing?
Umm…no…nothing…
I keep myself busy…
With anything n’ everything…
You may call me a kid or a monkey…
Never pausing or ceasing…
day-dreaming…or even screaming…
I’m ever so hard-working!
I’m thinking…analyzing...
Sometimes even agonizing...
Every moment, I’m liking or disliking!
Fears n’ worries…memories n’ stories…
I keep them carrying…
Back n’ forth…past n’ future
I’m constantly traveling…
I nudge my mind again...
…what purpose is all this serving?
This constant choosing…chattering...
Isn’t it so very confusing!!?
All your critiquing n controlling
Wouldn’t it be so tiring?
Ever noticed how you really feeling?
What do you say mind…
If we chill n enjoy just being?
‘Cuz whatever’s meant to be
is anyway happenin'...!
My mind throws tantrums n begins freezing..
Uhh…are you firing me bro?
Haha, not at all my dear…
It’s time for us to grow!
Let's drop the baggage n dance…
to the tune of this moment!
You ready for a promotion?
To flow with mindful observation!
How my mind smiles n’ jumps!
Hugs the Heart…
It knows now…that every moment…
Is a brand new start!

The question is not- Do you love me?
The question is- Do I love me?
Have you heard- what comes, let it stay. What goes, let it go? Trust the process. Poof! That ain't easy now, is it? A blind faith in the void, in nothingness, in the unknown. Yes I am trusting of the process but did I even know what this process would entail?
I just kept letting go- especially of beings. I was conscious of my space, the energies I was willing to let in, the boundaries I was creating. Ofcourse, it would come at a price. In 2 years, people left in dozens. In some uncanny way, I was actually beginning to enjoy this filtration process. Like my life suddenly had a sieve, and all that wasn't serving my higher good, was making an exit.
Word of caution-it can get pretty lonely. There were days I would hit a low and want to run my way back into the old life. But I knew deep down I must walk towards this process, crawl if I have to. But trust the process I must. So I simply sat in isolation for a really really long time. I worked on healing myself, I worked on my ascension, I worked on becoming love. When I could not go out, I went in.
Well, I am very realistic - I always expect miracles!
I knew the metamorphosis had started and soon the veil would be lifted. Then it happened! The 'new' tip toed its way into my life. The space I had created brought in like-minded people, enlightened souls, guided angels. These humans resonated with my energies, uplifted my spirit, added more than they subtracted. It was everything my soul needed. I was invited by communities that felt like home, strangers who felt like friends. I felt seen. I felt heard. Me, my pain and my darkness was embraced and celebrated. Universe had thrown in a life jacket.
If I saw each day, nothing much had changed. Still when I looked back at the two years, nothing was the same.
I will always be a receiver of divine love and most days than not, it will come from communities and friends I still have to make. So if you decide to stay, come stay. And if you choose to go, know that's best for me and you.
The question is- Do you love you?
P.S- Be part of a community, of collective consciousness and trust the process ok?
