Soul Musings/Day 11: Wear The Life You’ve Lived

” I’ve enjoyed every age I’ve been, and each has had its own individual merit. Every laugh line, every scar, is a badge I wear to show I’ve been present, the inner rings of my personal tree trunk that I display proudly for all to see. Nowadays, I don’t want a ‘perfect’ face and body; I want to wear the life I’ve lived. ” – Pat Benatar

What if every line and scar is a story

Of a life lived fully present

Perfect would take on another meaning

Illuminating a display of life moments

Captivating the viewer

Into vibrant curiosity to know the stories

That have been Earth sculpted on face and body

And crafted by the Divine.

Inspiring New Possibilities, Living From the Soul of Life While Co-creating Well Being of Body, Being, Heart and Planet….One Breath At A Time

Soul Musings is a 31-day practice for the month of December immersed in deep listening to what is emerging and unfolding day by day.  Eight sentences with occasional resources to explore more deeply.

Each post, invited by Soul, allows the words to emerge unscathed from prior planning, editing, or censorship.  Dwelling in uncertainty and dipping a toe into mystery this union of words is an attempt to resonate within an innate way of Being…. returning “home”.

Soul Musings/Day 5: The Privilege of Growing Older

10404892_588473127928029_3340023730013961587_n

Given a body to hold our Soul

On this  journey called Life

Earth holds us in her bosom

Feet root down, breath moves in and out

Moving ever closer to the liminal point where there is simply space

That we are on this journey at all is a blessed miracle

From which growing older is a Divine precious gift that allows

Unique callings to carve a signature on our face
