Giddy

I love the word giddy. I love the feeling of it too. Who doesn’t?When’s the last time you felt giddy?Giddy is the feeling of so much energy–the energy that creates worlds–bubbling to the surface.So much pure, wild energy that you wiggle and bounce. Your face does funny things like Willow’s in this picture. You giggle.

Home

She thought she was lost. She thought she couldn’t do it on her own.⁠⁠She searched and searched. She sought out teachers and guides and supposed wizards. ⁠⁠She went on a journey. She made new friends and learned about herself and her powers along the way. But the journey didn’t get her any closer to home

Lived

We are lived.We’re moved through life by the formless energy that is who-we-are. It guides us, bringing experience to life moment-by-moment in real time.We’re lived by the space beyond temporary, fluctuating form, where both everything and nothing exists.

The Biggest Gift Under the Tree

You know what I find amazing?There you are, walking around, living your life, almost never truly realizing just how wise and resilient and shiny and bright you really are.It’s so easy to identify with the part of “you” that you see all the time.It’s like when my kids see the biggest gift under the tree

Home Base. It’s Not What You Think.

The home to which the momentum of life naturally bounces us back.More than “within us”, home base is us.So it goes something like this. We feel stuff—thoughts, feelings, and all sorts
