Journey of the Heart

The other night I wept deeply… I wept for many things really, and came to feel that even in moments where the "blues," are felt, there's power there that can bring us, guide us, towards experiencing a deeper connection with ourselves and the universe. The blues, are great teachers. And on the other side of blues, profound comfort and deeper inner knowing, is the blessing found through the journey. Full Moon Blues by Krista Katrovas Sometimes it's time to dance to celebrate life in this way. At other times, it's time to cry, to squeeze the blues through our hearts, like a sponge that's full, ripe for emptying.

I am riding a rough wave along the Milky Way into the moonlight. Feels like a surfboard hit me in the head but I keep swimming.  It’s a moonbeam of truth .
