Who Am I?



Who Am I?

I am the words that pour from my lips, lighting my way into tomorrow.

I am a shadow of my former self with softer edges, defined by the light of my understanding.

With divided loyalties I am committed to the two until they merge into one.

I am the higher self reflected back in a moment of intimacy and genuine relationship.

I am the question that remains on the fringe of recollection.

I am the intuition that rises in a moment of stillness. I am the stillness.

I am the crest of a wave, carried forward, serving its purpose then relenting.

I am the current that gently supports a falling leaf, moving it into its next cycle.

I am the fragrance of jasmine, blooming a welcome to the onset of night.

I am the gurgle in a new baby's giggle, a song of wonderment and mirth.

I am the smell of wet soil, promising fertility and completion.

I am the whisper heard in a chattering brook, of stories yet untold.

I am the warmth of the sun on your face on a long autumn day, telling of seasons to come.

I am the crackling of a fire as it baptizes a length of hickory.

I am the spark of recognition in the face of a friend, warming the corners of your heart.

I am you.

With remembrance and expansion dawns the space to carry all.

A Year Gone By


I haven’t written a blog on here in a whole year – wow. And what a strange and transformational year it’s been for me. We are all in the ever present process of evolving, growing, changing, and reinventing. Despite losing what I thought was the love of my life, a marriage, and the hopes and dreams we shared together over the course of five years, I have found that I still have all the love and abundance one needs; through strong, wonderfully supportive friendships, loving family members, and the incredible and endlessly fascinating relationship I have with myself.

I am living and creating the life I want each and every day. I am reminded that, and hope to continually remind others, that happiness is an internal factor. Nothing in this physical world can provide a permanent sense of satisfaction if you haven’t tapped into your light within. We are all the same and we are all connected and that is why you should express yourself freely to the world, so that others may feel less alone. In healing others, you too become healed. I wish to share with you poems, song lyrics, articles, and personal experiences as a resource to foster inner growth and cultivate your own spiritual wisdom. I wish you all deep, conscious awareness, and a flashlight to discover and radiate light on your own inner beauty.

Shine on,
Robin :o)
