I am a soft, warm, mostly sparkling Goodness. I wear a costume and play a role in order to be seen. What cannot be seen of me is known by others who also know they are not costume and role. They cross my path infrequently but that disturbs me only when I am busy acting my role and filling my costume. Only then really.

Away From Home
I write in the morning, you know. Longhand. Certain things are said then. It is now afternoon and I’m on Tapintoo’s keys, things are being said now, too. Is there something waiting for my attention? What is contained in that invisible just beyond the visible, the external of me? What is contained in me? I am alone, and yet I sense championship.
A part of me waits for my full attention, staying poised to tell me what I will be glad to know. Life supports no emptiness; it is a dialogue with meaning—to me. I’m the one who turns away for I’ve learned to obey a dialogue with less meaning. To my heart, this is a troubling journey. The dialogue with less meaning does not interest me, but I pretend it does. Pretending is a heavy thing.
And so, I write. In the morning and in the afternoon. Things are said. Things with meaning—for me. A small door opens, I feel its warmth and recognize its reassuring light. I brighten all over, inside and out, and then when I rejoin the less meaningful dialogue, I attempt to sprinkle it with hints of what I found when I paid attention elsewhere in the here and now. Today, as I finish this afternoon’s writing, I notice what the flame from my candle is really bringing to my room.
It brings me the bookmark of a Dialogue.
Only Keys?
I can trace the Invisible by becoming still and letting my fingers touch keys. In this way I “use” technology to open the higher dialogue I have with my human who uses words. She needs to be reminded what stands within her wanting to be known, shown, and moved into form. She needs to meet the presence that fills the space she embodies in Time and Space.
Yes, little keys. Profound, because they know why they were really invented. And I know, too.
Think, softly, for sanity’s sake
At the center of my being is a lighted room where soft things grow. Soft, is a power not understood by my conditioned mind. But when I stand in this lighted room, I become sure. Sure from a sense of being whole. Sure, of being where I need to be and never searching.
Curiosity is not a search, it is discovery. When I stand quietly knowing my sureness, I am open with curiosity and see a world that erupts around me in a panoply of discoveries. They are brought to me as gifts that fill my pockets, that confirm my thoughts, that fulfill my dreams. They bring Color to the blank page on which I place a brush.
All my happiness is found when I think the opposite of what I’ve been told since I am on earth. Isn’t that interesting?
Sacred is the Self
There is in this moment, free of past and future, a fluid creative presence that overflows from abundance. I know it is myself. I live and breathe for only one purpose: expression. And mine is unique in all of Forever. Unique and beautiful and good.
I am asked only to be myself. To act from myself. To give to myself. To trust myself. This is not selfish–it is the way of things. I am Life’s sacred Self. Sacred in all my ways. I must be home with myself at all times to receive all I am. And reveal it.
