Rest is not defeat

If the mountain seems too big today

then climb a hill instead;

If morning brings you sadness

it’s okay to stay in bed.

If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,

There’s no shame in rearranging,

don’t make yourself feel worse.

If a shower stings like needles

and a bath feels like you’ll drown;

If you haven’t washed your hair for days,

don’t throw away your crown!

A day is not a lifetime.

A rest is not defeat.

Don’t think of it as failure,

Just a quiet, kind retreat.

It’s okay to take a moment

From an anxious, fractured mind.

The world will not stop turning

While you get realigned!

The mountain will still be there

When you want to try again

You can climb it in your own time,

Just love yourself till then ..

Don’t be ashamed to weep

“Don’t be ashamed to weep; ’tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.”

Brian Jacques – Taggerung, 2001.

Trippy Times – Mary Long

These energies are downright weird.

Some days nothing makes sense,

other days old dense feelings come up.

Then there is this space of emptiness, where nothing matters, I just sit here looking out the window for hours and get lost in it.

Sometimes I even loose how long I have been in this zone of empty space.

Is this part of our Ascension,

are we emptying ourselves completely and finally going to move into our full 5th Dimensional Consciousness.

We aren’t there yet until we do because we cannot take all this old energy with us into the new, we just have to keep working on ourselves until we have fully let go of it all and become completely empty.

It isn’t easy navigating our way through life right now because everything just feels different to me.

Our consciousness is nudging at us to create something new, but we just aren’t quite sure where to go, how to do it, even though we do. If that makes sense.

I am telling you all these energies

are trippy and making me spacey.

Can’t stay focused on something for too long because if I do, I feel dazed and confused.

My brain doesn’t want to think, it just wants to flow, flow with whatever comes.

I know during the summer we are supposed to be getting some pretty awesome downloads where we feel all lovey and fuzzy inside. I feel that now,

but it is like I am straddling worlds.

Either that or we are being prepared for them coming, all I can say is I just feel downright weird.

Like I am constantly walking in a dream world, but when I am sleeping,

I am everywhere, seem to be traveling many different timelines or dimensions.

I just feel weird when I have my eyes open trying to function in this 3d World

we are still experiencing.

I don’t know how else to explain it,

I feel this is all part of it.

God knows if I have to use my brain,

if it will work. LOL.

I am really having a hard time explaining my experiences, I look out the window and I feel everything out there, even the trees. Birds come up to the limb by the window and stare into me, like they are connecting with my Soul.

Anyone else feeling this, or is it just me?

I suppose when you are just in the flow of it all you are going to have some trippy experiences.

I know my frequency is high, I have so far blown out my cook stove, my phone isn’t working right, and I think I blew the electrical outlet where my microwave was. Maybe I should wrap myself up in some copper wire, so I don’t short things out, lol.

Even before I pump gas into the car,

I touch the metal on my car to make sure my fingers aren’t going to spark.

Just staying in the moment, letting it all happen and see how it all comes out.

Trippy times and I can’t even read anything from the powers that were, because absolutely nothing they do makes sense.

Riding it out Loves. Hopefully these Sparks I am emitting from this body will spark my Spirit to just keep going higher.

You know me, some days I just ramble, this is one of them.

Love all you Beautiful Souls.

❤ Mary Long

In the space of “ no mind”

Being in a space of no mind is kind of weird because it is something we are not use too.

Many are experiencing this kind of emptiness inside as we continue purging all that no longer serves our spirts.

Our consciousness is shifting and the cosmos as well as our Galactic Sun are helping us to see through the veils, to be at peace within ourselves and the more energy we receive the more things just seem to be weirder.

This is because we have never been taught the truth of how we are connected to everything and how our energy is connected as one, so we are feeling it all loves.

It’s really hard to put into words what we are experiencing right now it is like we are disconnecting completely from the 3d realm so we can continue moving to higher states of consciousness.

Nothing appeals to us in the 3d realm anymore, nothing resonates and feeling disconnected from it all is a great sign that we are finally letting it all go.

As we continue to do so our outer appearances will seem to become more chaotic because those who are now seeing through the veils of deception will be anger at first. We all were at first, I feel this is part of the process.

There will still be ups and downs, energies will feel intense at times and then when we get through certain stages, we feel this sense of peace within us as the light within us integrates into our bodies.

This is why it is vital to try to be the observer and not attach to any of it, because in 5 minutes it will change again. At least that has been my experience so far.

Be grateful for where you are now, even if it is uncomfortable because for some weird reason on this planet our suffering seems to open up the cracks in our consciousness to become more aware of who we truly are.

Don’t get discouraged if you can’t meditate, as long as you’re in a space of no mind, we are at peace.

Our circuitry now knows we can’t operate at a lower level of consciousness, so embrace the pause and just be.

Sending Love and Light wherever it is needed.

I love all you beautiful Souls, thank you for being here. ❤ Mary Long

The Broken world waits in the darkness , for the light that is you 👏🎊

On the surface of the world right now there is war and violence and things seem dark.

But calmly and quietly, at the same time, something else is happening underground

An Inner Revolution is taking place and certain Individuals are being called to a higher light.

It is a silent revolution.

From the Inside out.

From the ground up.

This is a Global operation.

A Spiritual Conspiracy.

There are sleeper cells in

every nation on the planet.

You wont see us on the T.V.

You wont read about us in the newspaper

You wont hear about us on the radio

We don’t seek any glory

We don’t wear any uniform

We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles

Most of us work anonymously

We are quietly working behind the scenes in every country and culture of the world

Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands

You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice

We go undercover

We remain behind the scenes

It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit

But simply that the work gets done

Occasionally we spot each

other in the street

We give a quiet nod and

continue on our way

During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs

But behind the false storefront at night is where the real work takes a place Some call us the Conscious Army

We are slowly creating a

new world with the power of

our minds and hearts

We follow, with passion and joy

Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence

We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking

Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites ~ Blogs ~

Random acts of kindness…

Releasing grudges,

letting go of judgments..

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways with our own unique gifts and talents

Be the change you want to see in the world That is the motto

that fills our hearts

We know it is the only way real transformation takes place

We know that quietly and humbly we have the power of all the oceans combined

Our work is slow and meticulous

Like the formation of mountains

It is not even visible at first glance And yet with it entire tectonic plates shall be moved in the centuries to come

Love is the new religion of the 21st century You don’t have to be a highly educated person

Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it

It comes from the

Intelligence of the Heart

Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings Be the change you want to see in the world

Nobody else can do it for you

We are now recruiting

Perhaps you will join us

Or already have.

All are welcome

The door is open…

~Brian Piergrossi ❤️

Illusions

And on the path of self-acceptance,

These twelve illusions you shall shed:

The illusion of being unwanted:

For, in truth, there is no such thing as an unwanted soul.

The illusion of being unlovable:

For your true self is love.

The illusion of unworthiness:

For you are always deserving of love and success.

The illusion of being weird:

For there is no such thing as normal.

The illusion of needing external validation:

For your worth is never dependent on another’s approval.

The illusion of being insignificant:

For your presence impacts all of humanity.

The illusion of being powerless:

For within you lies the strength to shape your destiny and influence the world.

The illusion of not being good enough:

For you were born good enough.

The illusion of being a burden:

For your existence is a precious gift, and your contributions add value.

The illusion of being unsuccessful:

For success is subjective, and your path is uniquely yours.

The illusion of being ugly:

Because that label only ever reflects the viewer being incapable of seeing beauty.

And the illusion that aging decreases your value:

For, in truth, you are not a body but a soul.

House of 4 rooms

There is an Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual .

Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person ..

Court & Spark- Full Album. Joni Mitchell

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to the full album , so I indulged

and of course shed a few tears ..

Each song has great significance to me and brought me such kindred

connection to Joni’s story telling , and poetry .

It was therapeutic, and I hope someone out there enjoys timeless ,

indefinite music that has no classification.
