Heart's Garden

 

I took off the door to

      & from 

my heart today

 .

  all the ins and outs   and discernment s   were getting too complicated .

i painted a sign over the outside entrance in Winnie the Pooh like letters  that read:

 

. FuLLFiLLiNG . ALLiGNMeNT . WeLLCoMe .

& on the inside—for the bits that clearly belong elsewhere:

 

 

. exiT JoYFuLLY aND FReeLY to YoUR NexT FULLFiLLiNGNess 

i decided to take off the hinges too  .         on the barrier,  i removed the lock s

  

and   the knob s 

& 

on each of the four corners

i attached strong   pillar-ly  legs . 

. turned it upside down .

&  painted it   with a-blended-tapestry-of-colors 

                      

&  textures .

i then  enjoyed hunting down, gathering, &  assembling a plethora of mismatched, eclectic, & comfy chairs around it ⸺ arranged just so .

 

✦

 

Now .     Here .

a table 

                               a table of love .   a table of joy .   a table 

set 

                 ready   &   available

for  my  guests . 

✦

explorations will be served, beside  new   experiences 

& side dishes of wonder 

. where  we’ll sip Experimental’s tea

—& perhaps stir in a bit of sweetness—just for fun .

we will sample  space

 ‘till it’s just the way we like it . 

taste possibilities with tiny forks .        & nibble . 

Discovery Sandwiches—all-ways fresh!

.

lovely,   bright    napkins—absorbent

.

in the garden, 

this ever-growing garden of my heart

all - ways      

open 

.

sidenote: i used the hardware to decorate a birdhouse .

the birds like to perch on the doorknob—right outside the entrance/exit .

any more .

Come Out and Play ; Come Out of the Play ; Come Out to Play

come out

come out and play

come out

come out and dance

the radiant dance —

of a life

of light

come out

come out and shine

the soul-full smiles —

of a thousand

candled flames

come out

come out and see

the Divine All around you , through you , as you

come out

come out and feel

the ocean’s waves within you —

waves of the impossible

swelling up and crashing

inside

defining a you

come out

come out and share

the All that you feel —

uniquely expressing

as you

come out

come out

for I Am

in , through , as and of

the you

come out

come out and laugh with Me —

We’ll giggle at our foolishness

and the ways We’ve forgotten

the Truth

come out .

come out  .

come out   .

to Be

for  I Am Here

{ cup hands to one ear , whisper into this self-phone } :

I ’ ve never gone anywhere —

that was the gift

as / for / a

you

to discover the possibilities of

as / the  every—where

.

— You / you
