I Fly HIGHER and HIGHER Each Day…

Yemaya Works Her Eye-Opening Magic – Altar/Photograph by Toni Roberts

As I allow…

the

DISINTEGRATION…

DECONSTRUCTION…

CRUMBLING…

and

RELEASE…

of

all

OLD…OUTMODED…USELESS STRUCTURES of THOUGHT…

originally

CONSTRUCTED on a FOUNDATION of FAULTY BELIEFS

about

the

TRUE NATURE OF REALITY…

 

I was blind…and now I can see…

 

May these eyes ever remain open…

As I Rapidly Approach Age 80…

Fall Altar – Healing Altars by Toni Roberts – Altar Arrangement & Photography by Toni Roberts

I watch from the sidelines…

As my contemporaries begin to drop…

One by one…

From the sheer exhaustion of life…

We have reached that stage…

Human culture calls:

“Old Age…”

 

As a participating observer in my own life…

I see clearly that these sunset years are merely a Time-In-Life…

In which we humans are presented with the choice TO DO or TO DIE…

 

The “DOING” requires a complete and total surrender…

An At-One-Ment…

With the Great Mystery from which all Existence flows…

 

The “DYING” is the consequence of not “DOING…”

It is a slow…and usually painful process…

In which the Soul withdraws from the human body…

Its temporary home…

To return to the SOURCE OF ALL THERE IS…

EVER WAS… and EVER SHALL BE…

 

I…of course…have chosen to DO…and look forward to whatever the “GODS” have in store for me in this re-birth…in this 8^th chapter of the life of Toni Roberts…female…human…resident of a wild and crazy place called planet earth!

For Peace of Mind and Wholeness of Being…

unfurl

the

   brow…

relax

the

   gut…

 

breathe slowly…rhythmically…deeply

from

the

   belly…

understand

that

it

is

not

your

job

   to make shit happen…

chill…remain relaxed and attentive…

your next move will unfold naturally...organically…

   in…as…

and

through

ALL

that

you

think…say...and do…

do…be…do…be…do…

“Woman At Crossroads”

Woman At Crossroads – Artwork/Photography by Toni Roberts

 

” Woman At Crossroads” –There are those times in all of our lives when we come to a Crossroad…do I go left or right? This job or that one? Chemo or no chemo? Live or die?

You would think that after 79 years of living this human drama, a woman would be spared life’s complexities and dilemmas. That one’s sunset years could be spent in play; drumming, dancing on the summer grass, experiencing only the joys of life…loving…simply being…

That’s not the way of this journey in the Third Dimension. And I am finally learning to embrace Life’s challenges; to welcome each Crossroad, regardless of how challenging a choice I must make as I continue on this twisting, winding journey of unexpected events, people and circumstances.

These days, when I reach that inevitable Fork In The Road, I find my Spirit Companions right there waiting for me. Mother Goddess, my Guardian Angel, my Orisha, Elegua…and Love ItSelf. Right there in the Silence of my heart…waiting for me to ask: Which Path is my path to Fulfillment of Purpose in being in this Here-Now? All it takes is the asking. The acknowledgement that I DO NOT KNOW. And in that surrender to a Wisdom higher than my human Ego, I am led; step by step, day by day, breath by breath into a new and expanded experience of being human on planet earth.

Let us never forget that the Ancestors are always here to guide us. We need only to stop pretending that we have the answers…and ASK. Ashe.
