Rainbow waves
Chakra currents
Opening portals
To inside out
Realms that bridge
Presence and permanence

Rainbows are a natural phenomenon that are indicators of bright health. When I wrote this poem, I realized that rainbows are symbolic of the chakras.  

 

Since then, I have listened and looked deeply for rainbow messages. Like chasing after a techno-colored experience, looking for that pot of gold. What has risen to the surface of my life as of late is the message of maintaining balance within the body. Inner balance is vital. The outer landscape of our lives is a direct result of our inner terrain.  

 

I ask myself, “What does balance look and sound like in my life? Am I willing to invest the time and focus to bring it about in my life? Do I feel like I have to ‘pay my dues’ to be happy, or can I allow my heart to be flooded with joy simply because? How mindful am I living from day to day?” What will you ask yourself?

Judgement

When I first saw the words: “You’re beautiful, it’s society that’s f….. up.” painted onto a column I pass most days coming home, I had to smile. It was as if the cosmos had sent that message just for my eyes to see. Nothing else was written or painted onto it at the...
