Inhale the fire
Of past generations.
Of Mama's soul
Of Brother Moon
And LionHeart.
Sip'til you are drunk
And reeling
With the spirit
With the flame
Of fires
That once were lit.
Eager to burn once more

Through eyes that Glow with new embers.
See beyond the scope
Of the physical.
Stretch further
With warped arrow speed.
Cast your net at the outer edges of imagination,
Where dreams shimmer.
There...

Something else shimmering on the horizon.
Are you willing to see it with me?

On Faith... - I woke up with things on my mind. Gently feeling the way that my life has been flowing recently. Much inspired outflow with being in service and much unexpected, surprising and delightful inflow. [ Nicola's Blog ]
The Gaze of Awareness - Directing my attention inwards.
Meeting the gaze of awareness
Head on.
There is no separation.
Just a loving stream
That knows no bounds.
Words and labels have no meaning.
And all there is
Is this indescribable feeling
That stretches to the back of beyond.
That is centered right here.
Losing myself in nothing and everything.
Feeling the One force,
That is my home. [ Nicola's Blog ]
On Retreat... - What I have learned from my Avatar work and was reminded of while I was on silent retreat recently, is not to compartmentalise my life. Being in service, being on retreat doesn’t stop once I get home. [ Nicola's Blog ]
What, or who, has saved your life? - What, or who, has saved your life?
Such a cool and interesting question! I started to think of situations, people and events that have created amazing and powerful shifts in my life. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Sweet Possibilities - [i]Love awakens my mind To sweet possibilities. It lights a flame to my heart Firing everything in its path. Love is an energy that Blossoms as it goes. [ Nicola's Blog ]
To Live in My Head or My Heart? - Somewhere along the way, I stopped living in my heart and moved to my head. I felt too vulnerable, sensitive and exposed in my heart. My head became this comfortable and familiar retreat. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Going Within - I woke up with God on my mind. Conscious of much of Eric Butterworth's recent words in the background and the sense that God is not a force out there to be reached. [ Nicola's Blog ]
I'm Yours - Heart throbbing The core of me. Shaft of desire Shoots through me. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Song of Love - [i] What is this song of love that I sing? Passion, joy, sweet ecstasy. Brimming, spilling, Radiating outwards Unbridled, unfettered This ever burning fire.
A fire in my heart that glows and burns. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Celebrating Father's Day - I loved Fathers day. My father was so easy to please. A can of shaving cream and he was happy. I think that he valued the caring and the sincerity of the giving and was therefore content with whatever came. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Wanting for my family... - I want to be in a position where I am financially able to help my mother and brother with ease. To make their lives comfortable... without struggle and strain. [ Nicola's Blog ]
In relationship... - What I like about having an intimate relationship with God, is that I don't have to say anything. I can just be...
When I sit down to quietly close my eyes and pray, before I utter a sound, I can feel my own intention... [ Nicola's Blog ]
Nothing In My Way - Sitting quietly last night, I fell into this lovely realisation that there is no obstacle. There is nothing in my way. Ever
Tricks of the mind that steer me off-course. [ Nicola's Blog ]
What Do I Want Today? - What do I want today? What drives me the most? What is in my heart in this moment?
I feel the answer open up inside me like a delicate flower opening it's petals to the rays of the glowing sunshine.
To know God. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Devotion - The last couple of days, I have felt this soft, full feeling inside. It fills me up and surrounds me with peace. I was reading from two books recently, where authors Marianne Williamson and Anne Rice were talking about God. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Embracing "Yes" - If I don't do it perfectly, if I don't show up 100%, say a primary with sufficient intention, how can the Universe rise to meet me? Or, how can I rise up to meet the Universe that is always ready and in place? [ Nicola's Blog ]
A Good Day - Today is a good day. Its always a good day, just like the sky is always blue! Its more about whether or not there are clouds in the way (that pesky little ego!) and whether or not I have forgotten the goodness that is always present in the background. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Facing Surrender - God, here I am again. Is my wanting deep enough to put you first in my life? To choose you instead of serving my ego?
Do I really and truly surrender and give myself whole-heartedly to you without reservation? [ Nicola's Blog ]
Coming Clean With Money - Money is one of those creations that has taken me some time to really get the lessons. I was quite the entrepreneur as a child. Making fudge and peanut brittle, picking plums to sell to children at school. [ Nicola's Blog ]

The Discovery of Inner Space (A New Earth) - I love this exercise that Eckhart Tolle offers in chaper 8 of "A New Earth". I added what arose for me on completion...
"Also notice the brief cessation of the breath, particularly the still point at the end of the outbreath, before you start breathing in again."
Breath out. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Journey Within - There is nowhere to go. Nothing to seek. My journey is not an outer, external one. It is an inner one. The impulse that I have felt from a young age to seek truth or to find out who I am, led me on a spiritual path. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Who Am I Truly? - Reading Chapter 7 in Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" this morning. I came to the question on page 187, "What are the things that upset and disturb me?" Immediately I think of my children. [ Nicola's Blog ]
Love Surrounds Me - I recognise divine vibration in another
And my heart swells instantly with love.
My greatest wish is that I remember,
To greet the Divine always with love.
To see the facade of hatred, cruelty
And not descend to that murky level.
To be on high,
Elevated with sweet awareness.
Seeing beauty,
Wherever my gaze falls.
I open to that eternal gift from the Divine.
I Am that I Am.
One day we will all be there... [ Nicola's Blog ]
Essence of Life - A thief in the night...
What can you take from me,
That is not already yours?
A lone wolf howling in the wind...
What do you cry for,
That you think is out there?
A dancer on the stage...
Another aspect of myself,
That has the moves
I\'ve only dreamed of.
A budding flower...
Opening to the glory
That surrounds,
Runs through,
And is it\'s very essence.
Life intrigues me.
Every which way I go,
There is always more.
Deeper, broader, much wider
Than my thinking mind can grasp.
Leave the questions behind.
Sink into a deep feeling space,
That is happy...
Knowing nothing. [ Nicola's Blog ]
My Life - What does it mean to be alive?
This...
Unconscious, unnoticing of the chain of events.
Moving here, reacting there.
The light off to what surrounds me.
What does it mean to be alive?
That...
Conscious, feeling the way the stream flows.
Riding the wave forward until I disappear
Into the night of my ever living soul.
What does it mean to be alive?
To be still in the dark?
Unafraid.
Feeling the velvety cloak that surrounds me,
Feeds me, sustains me...
My life.What does it mean to be alive?
To push past the boundaries,
To move beyond the borders
of what is known as life itself?
To see anew.

Soften The Edges - Somewhere in life, a hardness crept over me. Before I realised it, my innocence was covered in a tough shell. Resisting love, movement and touch.
I took on the past, searched for all of it's negative attributes and wrapped them around me like a warm, protective coat. [ Nicola's Blog ]

Dropping old layers.

Vibrant, rich...
Tender youth meets majestic maturity.
Present, open, inviting...
Welcoming Source Energy.

Fill you up.

no grasping, nor refusing, receiving, nor keeping
those geese had no intentions of casting reflections
on the surface of that placid lake as they flew over
the water had no mind to retain their image
yet, was there ever any doubt?
absent and no longer grasping at the proper image,
the way that is fit is no longer known
to those who have lost reflections

No, I am no longer a stranger to myself, or to the stars

Are a feeling, a willing, a wishing, like it all just happens.
