Journey of the Heart

Warm your wonderful waters   simply by beholding  the beauty of now,  allowing archaic agonies to soften and drizzle away. Recognize that your foundation is strong, your flow genuine. Though some shadows remain, trust that you will attend to them if need be. Celebrate the gentle peace  that cascades  through and all around you. Relax into your uniquely radiant truth.

GAZING INTO INFINITY When you gaze into a woman's eyes... prepare to cross the threshold   into the house of her soul... it is there, where her strength and beauty will greet you In the light where a thousand flowers grow you may want to stay forever... within the sunrise & sunset of her gaze wrapped in the arms of her magnitude adrift within the ancient sea of yesterdays her eyes reveal she is of passion,   enchantment & fortitude the place where galaxies are reawakened Come...   set-sail-forth into the depths   of her extended amplitude your heart will sing   in the infinity of love unshaken.
