“1212Forget what they told you. You are love child of a passionate affair between goddess and universe. You were born of a steamy forbidden heat and you were made for the cyclone of unadulterated wholeness. You are a daughter of delight. You are the unconstrained mother of all. A fierce warrior. A wicked priestess. Your roots twist into this earth. Your spirit rises in glorious asana. You let loose with the howl of the wilderness you’ve held tight all these years.
You are the wild. Untethered. Gloriously free.”

“The audacity is in the living, not in the choosing. You are fearless enough to keep breathing; in the face of loss and pain and humility and gratitude and gifts and brilliance and confusion. This is the amazing thing. Right or wrong can never be anything but small things in the face of your gigantic, intrepid spirit”

“Turn off your phone, and your computer and your mind. Find your heart center and send it compassion. See the holiness in everyone you meet. Honor it.
Know your worth. Know your worth. Know your worth.
Accept no less. Become familiar with the space where compromise is unkind. Nurture your exquisite loneliness. Let it teach you. Light candles at every opportunity. Always wear perfume, it helps you remember yourself. Touch your inked ribs lightly when you forget who you are.”

“Sleep my little baby-oh
Sleep until you waken
When you wake you'll see the world
If I'm not mistaken...
Kiss a lover
Dance a measure,
Find your name
And buried treasure...
Face your life
Its pain,
Its pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.”

“You are the sun and the moon and the stars
You are the force that pulls the tides
You are the unrestrained howl
under a wide-open moon
You are the essence of what it is
to dance into ecstasy
You are the heat and the sex
and the sweat and the burn
and soft and the grace
and the grit and the ocean of tears
You are all of everything
…
Somewhere there is a love
who will never dream of calling you too much
Who speaks like you
in poetry and candle-wax and stardust
Who runs outside on stormy nights to howl at the moon
Who collects bones and sings incantation
and talks to the ancestors
And that lover
when you find him or her
will see you and know you – just as you are
and just as you should be
And they will say yes
Yes you
I will go there with you
I have been waiting for this”
