FREE FOR ALL KUNDALINI by Ava Bird

The creative shakti flow of energies is feminine and giving...

 This represents a divine flow inspired by Mother Earth and her abundant offerings of energies and spirit. As I explore the flow of life and various realms, transcendental moments, deep dark roots, and the beauty of the here and now on our precious planet, my spirits vibrates! I feel this vibration resonate with the greater Spirit: our unified spirit, our unified being, which vibrates way beyond what is immediately seen. 

 "Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavatu" May all beings be happy and free! Aum shanti!

Free-for-all Kundalini
by Ava Bird

ah, up the spine
the kundalini rising
sacral chakra heart spinning
red and orange like fire
fast and pure
peaceful
and still beating 
to the sound of
one
one moment to breathe
breathe 
in 
deep 
and clear
and sigh 'om'
loud and clear
exhale
shanti
time to fly now
time to pound the stone 
and get it out there 
share 
and smile
big breaths 
big dreams
small steps
climbing big
sailing
back down to the earth again
her dirt and flowers
that primal soil
roots down deep
brimming with life
invisible
beneath the surface
this cosmic kundalini
force 
rising 
in all of us
she the shakti
the goddess
gives
life and breath
the goddess 
lives 
in us
she
is us
i pledge allegiance
to the goddess
creator and life giver
her infinite abundance
with freedom and justice 
for all.

IMAGINE A WOMAN by Patricia Lynn Reilly

  This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection, you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already within you! I invite you to love your creativity fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons, nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful, trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience.  Blessed is the fruit of your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance, write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Ga...

IN THE STILLNESS OF THE NIGHT by Ginny Brannan

 Just take a moment to pause... When life becomes rote, and frustration grows from being immersed in the same routine—different day, sometimes we need to remind ourselves that peace is still there—within our grasp— if we just take a moment to pause and enjoy the stillness and beauty around us. In the Stillness of the Night  by Ginny Brannan Late winter’s eve and all is still the lawn lies bathed in silver light— gray shadows race across the yard and climb atop the windowsill to draw my gaze upon the sight. I stare out to the moonlit night, across the deck and wooded path fresh–painted by new fallen snow. The scene infuses with delight; this gift inside storm’s aftermath. Half–buried now, the old birdbath lies shadowed deep in indigo— it waits on promise of the spring when arctic chill has finally passed and snow gives way to new green grass. With gratitude, I hedge to go; tranquility allays my soul… I turn ...

STILL I RISE by Maya Angelou

Six years ago, I had the privilege of listening to Maya Angelou speak live on the value of poetry at the University of Florida. I share these reflections with you again today, in honor of her birthday.  I was relieved to get one of the last seats available for this rare event, having arrived at five for Maya Angelou ’s free speech at eight. The historically long line began with people settled into beach chairs in winter coats busying themselves on tablets, or eating sandwiches for dinner. As helicopters hovered above and newscasters below, I felt the excitement of realizing that thousands of people were gathering together to hear an eighty four year old black woman recite her poetry! Maya Angelou speaking at University of Florida on Feb. 27, 2013  When the curtain rose -after an overflow of hundreds were sent away- we lucky ones on the inside greeted Maya with a standing ovation, as she smiled sweetly, beginning her talk using metaphors from nature. Maya asked...
