You Will Know
YOU WILL KNOW an expansive love that hurls you into tender, free-falling moments where you remember your first breath and every gasp. You will know honesty, compassion and resolute faith. You will know stillness and silence, brazen radiance and floral flourishes that envelope your suffering then vanquish them with the grace-filled deftness of the warrior that you are. You will know you. You will know.

Me, as painted by my heart out in the world
Life As We Know It And See It
IT IS POSSIBLE to see beyond appearances and feel our way into what is real—not just what one can sense with the senses—but what which is eternal, ethereal. It is possible to touch the hem of the garment, and then to drape oneself in this very garment, for we are each the Christ. It is possible to spin tired yarns about what could have been—and weave them into tapestries of truth and transformation. It is even possible to ingest toxicity and emit rainbows.

Woodsy vision on my journey
The Glass is Always Full
DEAR BELOVED,
You have everything you need. Even now as the planet nearly falls off its axis and plummets, as your emotions rise and descend like waves washing upon some jagged-edged shore. Even now as your blood runs fear-rigid in your veins. Even now as you leap-frog into seeming oblivion. I am here and I am always going to be here—with you and as you.

lIFE AS WE KNOW IT AND SEE IT
IT IS POSSIBLE to see beyond appearances and feel our way into what is real—not just what one can sense with the senses—but what which is eternal, ethereal. It is possible to touch the hem of the garment, and then to drape oneself in this very garment, for we are each the Christ. It is possible to spin tired yarns about what could have been—and weave them into tapestries of truth and transformation. It is even possible to ingest toxicity and emit rainbows. All things are possible in God, grace and gratitude.
It matters not what you see with the eyes when you are prayed up, meditated up and visioned up. When you are rooted in spiritual practice, you consciously walk hand in hand with the One. Within solemn symphonies you hear notes that rival the "Ode to Joy." The vicissitudes of life have got nothing on you for God’s got you. You will fall, free-fall and fly.
This is your divine inheritance—to walk by faith not by sight, peering beyond circumstances and into new vistas. This is the covenant made between you and your creator—you can tap into the good even while suffering. You can bridge the gap between the light and the dark, recognizing that it’s all the same. One life, one light.
To become a vision of joy requires lasered focus. It is as if we are swimming to paradise and with each stroke, we are pushing aside the tides of the illusionary so that we can jump-start the evolutionary impulse to transform and reign supremely love.
There is no other choice. The bud will bloom, light will enter the broken heart. A new day is dawning. Life appears to be imploding—systems crashing, fires burning. Catharsis. Soul phoenix rising. Rebirth. It is happening. Now! Now! Now! We are on the verge of a new universe. Its rhythm is joy. Its solar system is even greater joy. We have insight, a vision of what is possible. We are meant to live eternally, not fraught with frailty, but immersed in ageless grace and innate wisdom. We dance with the divine because we know we can.

The I Am of Resonance
In my Father’s house there are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Holy Bible, John 14: 2
It is time to turn a deaf ear to the steady drumming of resistance that ensnares you and to remember your magnificence. Accept that you are glorious. Own your perfection, your divinity, your wholeness. Expand your vision of yourselves: There is nothing you cannot accomplish or create, for you are the mother of reinvention. Whatever you see before you originated as a germ of an idea, a speck, a notion. Then, it was infused with powerful thoughts and activity to bring it to formation. Ah, substance! Ah, reality!
Once you overcome your resistance then you will be ready. You will be ready for everything. You will step over the threshold of insecurity and into many mansions of radiant possibilities. Enter into resonance. You are aligned with the divine within—and without. Everything is yours for the asking and for the taking. However, you will want to do more giving—to others and to the world. You have an idea and immediately atoms coalesce before you. The gap between conception and gestation shrinks considerably. In fact, it only exists to the extent of your doubt. Now you can humbly bow down at the feet of your forgotten selves—the selves you have been ashamed of, neglected and have still yet to forgive. You accept them for you knew not who you were. The truth is, you are glorious.
Once you shed your resistance you can see the delicate threads of the web that connects all of life. The silky filaments act as a cocoon. There is so much life everywhere for now you can even see beyond the permeable veil. Death has no hold over you. You have stepped into the realm of resonance. You vibrate, you resonate. You have become the I Am of resonance.
Affirmation:
I vibrate with every living thing! I am the I am presence made visible now!
