Note

Play with me and consider the possibility that your problems are just your chosen way to entertain yourself in order to distract your attention away from the naked truth. Assume all your problems are solved by a magic wand, what remains and is so obvious, is your naked truth. Address that. Not your problems.

Remind yourself a leafless tree wears a cluster of clouds.

into green blue sea

still there on other side

a gazer hums her a memory
of wings, her inner smile widens

Note

Don't trust your self criticism. Opt for observing self instead of judging self. Observing is the way to heighten your awareness on the path of self refinement. All self punishment that is in tandem of self criticism, is counter effective. Moreover, self criticism, by itself, freezes thus limits your understanding of what is.

Everything-everyone, including you, is a free flow. By observing you allow your understanding to change, empowering yourself to be all inclusive.

in my mother language
on foreign land
the burst of birdsongs

poem

the way some are
unseen but deeply felt
spreading cosmic love in whispers
walking the unbeaten path
light in hand
soaring at sleepless nights to home planets
drunken with longing
restarting the dwelling with morning birdsongs
tired but excited
leaving breadcrumbs of creativity behind
for somebody to notice in the breeze
warmth of breath with tinge of musk
breaking the silence with depth of gazes
unveiling cryptic souls in total simplicity
there and not there
here and everywhere
unseen but deeply felt
the way some are



have you read about their life lines
are you reading their life lines
have you noticed the breeze



the way some are

... then she realized, writing haiku does not make her chat-prone.

Note on Nuances

Claim your responsibility and not your guilt. Guilt is garbage material since it paves the way for self punishment, totally unnecessary for the soul's expansion. On the other hand, claiming responsibility empowers you to be the conscious author of your life, intending and executing change of course whenever it is beneficial.

Being aware of nuances leads to self refinement.

Note on Healing

Healing yourself from family trauma(s) / family curse(s), means altering your own DNA affecting your family lineage consciousness irrespective linear time. Are you able to imagine how powerful you are!

Healing is activating the Divine within.

storytelling (isolation as home)

isolation
eye opening home
mountain top boarding school

to decipher
subconscious lexicon




(Explanation: I opened my eyes in a mountain top boarding school, extremely isolated. I searched all my life for home yet never realizing I was 'home' until I deciphered that the subconscious of the three years old girl defined home as isolation. In the hope of breaking this life long pattern.)

storytelling

to kiss him
with coquetry of breeze
wild as storming sky
she exhibits all seasons
in one mood of love
uniquely hers

haiku

climbing azalea
cypress in bloom
east side of love

storytelling (riddle)

108 earth planets on string of breaths
mantra ushering dawn at 1008
where infinity contracts back to one

Note

All perspectives are equally valid since parallel universes are limitless.

The question is which one are you going to opt for.

 Hint: Choose a universe (hence a perspective) that contributes to your self empowerment.

You break free from self judgement when you stop judging the experiences that shape you. Only then, you realize you are beyond shapes. And the sound of you lies within your divine essence.
