How Do You Like Your Chocolate
How do you like your chocolate?
I like mine, dark and dense,
solo, or at times companioned with
a complex glass of red wine or
the perfect strawberry.
A Lesson In Nature
Nature seems to be the best teacher. As much as we wish for spring to hurry along, we don’t stand outside and chide a plant “Bloom, damn it”. We recognize that all living things need the right conditions and the right time to come to fruition.
Breaking Ground
Something’s pushing through the earth
breaking ground
seeking warmth and light,
the right conditions
Wanting – Part II
Thank goodness Valentine’s Day is over. Our normal consuming “wanting” is magnified to try to meet societal/cultural expectations of what giving and receiving love is supposed to be. The end results are so many people feeling left out, rejected, less than, and all sorts of self malaise.
The Only Way
The only way to love
is deeply,
completely,
with no reservations,
The Valentine Gift
The greatest gift you can receive on Valentine’s Day is how you choose to love yourself. While dark chocolate and a sudsy bath may provide a temporary bliss, your real bliss comes from recognizing your own pefection (with all your flaws, shame, grief, anger, etc).
What Lies Underneath

In the thoughtless spaces
there is everything and nothing,
unbrokeness
and a peaceful place,
Love of Words
It shouldn’t surprise me,
this love of words.
Hiding in books from an early age,
too shy to interact in the world,
Cashmere
Cashmere – next to my skin
soft, caressing,
clinging to, enveloping
warm and just there.
Be my cashmere.
Scaling the Spiritual Pyramid
Posted by Spiritev in Spirituality on April 8, 2009
I started thinking about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs today and wondered if some type of similar scale could be relevant to my own quest in spritual development. I envisioned a pyramid similar to Maslow’s.
