Featuring Ayin Adams

This is where I cleanse and heal... in the pristine water pools of the sacred Iao Valley.  I do not know if these are orbs in the photo or not, but there seems to be quite a few in the photo and the energy was incredibly high when I went there to pray, meditate and write.  Click on the picture for a larger view.

 The Woods Deep Inside Me

I claim my adult aloneness

and I claim my silence

and I claim my existence

and I claim the warmth of

the firewood crackling ‘round me

glittering flames rise

from the smoke

hot embers smoldering

gray ash visible

the woods deep inside me

burning, yearning

begging to reveal my secrets

that long to be told

sitting by the bright light

I unfold

a journey of the soul

gazing through the fire

I see the lighted road

stretching on and on

and I see the windows of my soul aglow

I quicken my steps to be on time

for my feast and have taken counsel

in my heart to keep the courage

Faith holding my left hand

Trust in my right

but for the life of me

I cannot claim my past

I cannot claim my future

for what is my future

I have not seen

nor my past

that has dissolved into the nothingness

from which it came

and then a moment

grabs me and holds me

forcing me into the now moment

then quickly exits into the next moment

becoming my past again

and my future moment will become my now

but the woods deep inside me

has lifted my heart like the chords of song

often sung in the worlds of old

I have been told

to which I belong

and to which I shall return

on the great journey

through the woods deep inside me.
