(In)dependence

(in)dependence - a cedar tree between two paths


where is the cedar tree today?
what were the chosen paths?
what anchors the cedar tree?
what comes forth as the tip of the tree comes to its fullness?

who sees the (in)?
who focuses on the (dependency)?
who brings (in)nner dependency? how can it be reached?
where have the stories evolved?

was the moment of (in)dependence an escape towards a covert dependence or a liberation towards inner dependence for overt interdependence?

when will the celebration be a celebration of Now and a reflection of what was transformed in the now?
who carrying the flag of Now are aligned to the intention of authentic (in)dependence; experiencing it in their personal, familial, community and national relationships?

a day of reflection

coming together

trembling times into CHOICE TIMES

Trembling times ~~~
Heart aching breaking times ~~~
Mourning and grief times ~~~

Realizing that boundaries have dissolved times ~~~
Coming face to face with human experiences similarity times ~~~
Staying centered times ~~~
Showering the space with loving intentions times ~~~
Actively supporting from the heart times ~~~

Coming together times ~~~

Two acts holding the transition of day and night
Two acts joined by the mediterranean sea
Two acts at the bridges of east and west
Two heartless acts that want to bring humanity down, igniting humanity's inner weapon: fear
Two heartless acts, at a time where possibility was saying 'see me':
one on the same day after "Lebanon Parliament holds rare legislative session" as described by the Daily Star; and

one two weeks before the "Paris Climate Change Conference - November 2015" - 'The world is ready for change' 'We are at a turning point now.' as described in the Guardian

Mourning and grief times ~~~
Heart aching breaking times ~~~
Trembling times ~~~

Coming together times ~~~

Choice times ~~~  heartless fear or heartfull life

Anger - Grateful to be Heard

"Anger, you are felt, a rage in a range

stuck not expressing so strange

come let us hold your hand

escorting you to a safe space where you can stand

yes, you have been sitting for too long 

the time has come to move beyond what is considered wrong

is this comfortable to be in your righteousness

opening the womb heart space in full resonance"

"ah! heard you calling me Anger.  Here, I am.

have been waiting for eons of time

waiting in aloneness trusting the right time

the fear of invasion 

blocked the energetic flow of creation

the fear of abuse 

contracted the space away from healthy use

instead of guardian of the womb

found myself warrior of the tomb

instead of holding the keys of engagement

found myself fighting against the raider's rings of enslavement

the fear and loss of self-worth

changed my name from Love to Anger, birth and death

felt the pain, waiting to be invited back to Love 

felt the loss, shaking me at the gateway not touching true love

felt the longing, waiting for self forgivness to receive

felt the potential, calling for the reactivation of Love so Anger can leave

have been waiting for eons of time

grateful to be heard with the heart of Love from the eternity of Time"

2013 Reflective Portrait

sharing a harvest gift of words received in a 2013 closing gratitude exchange

words coming together from hearts into a collective story that speaks to us and is for all of us 

letting us see the possibilities that we can bring when we hold our individual presence and move with care, loving attention and heartfelt intention towards and with others ..

Femininity meets Practicality

  July 2013 Full Moon - Inspiration by halamak

to go or not to go, that is the question
a quest indeed, away from pretension
tension for release, seeking compassion
passion of life's heart desire, pulsing perfection
perfect inspiring sparks, activating the imagination
imagine the beauty, co-creating evolution
evolve the moment, in the midst of commotion
to come or not to come, that is the question

water rising, water rising
is this a sign of a fluid uprising, concretely expanding?

rivers flooding, people flooding
what is surfacing, collectively moving?

boundaries shifting, relationships shifting
where is the center, how is it holding?

voices speaking, images speaking
who is listening, how are we responding?

networks spreading, patterns spreading
what is forming, coming into being?

death crying, life crying
what is shifting, swiftly evolving?

feelings coming, thinking coming
where is the source, how are we integrating?

Hala reflecting on what is happening now, globally ...

Who?

Who guides the hands of humans in the name of law?
Who defines the law in the name of order?
Who understands order in the name of knowledge?
Who manipulates knowledge in the name of security?
Who controls security in the name of democracy?
Who twists democracy in the name of authority?
Who structures authority in the name of governance?

Who?

Who governs and authors and demonstrates and secures knowledge and order and law?

Who?

Who governs oneSelf in the name of individual responsibility?
Who authors responsible action in the name of just consequences?
Who demonstrates consequent behaviour in the name of true understanding?
Who secures reliable understanding in the name of grounded realization?
Who knows meaningful reality in the name of resilient communities?
Who orders heartfelt communities in the name of radiant generational lineages?
Who lawfully holds our lineage in the name of emerging human evolution?

Who?

Who is responsible for the just consequences and true understanding in our grounded realization of the presence of resilient communities holding radiant generational lineages for the emerging human evolution?

Who?

Polarity

Polarity the membrane that unifies duality

    Warmth embracing the flowing dance of
a cold freezing us into immobility
          AND a hot fire sparking our burning desire mobility

   Awareness embracing the flickering dance of
a closing Eye enfolding within, retreating
         AND and opening Eye unfolding without, responding

  Connection embracing the dynamic dance of
a physical body grounded in its roots
         AND a mental body swimming through the emotional realm seeded by ideas' offshoots

    Vision embracing the organic dance of
a darkness that shadows a space of potential possibilities
           AND a lightness that reveals a place of realistic activities

     Heart embracing the creative tension dance of
a fear, anger, grief undercurrent tendency
          AND a compassionate, unconditional love evolving currency

Polarity the membrane that unifies duality

~~ with gratitude

Resonance ~~

Magnetism the source of attraction
             into Gaia's field of attention
    Holding electrical charges in suspension
Receiving sun rays of true connection
                      Feeling the natural melodies moving vibrational intention
        Journeying into the depths of the darkness,
                                                      pausing, breathing, away from pretension
                           Horror freezes the body, tears flowing
               calling why the bloody aggression?
     Pain caught in the mirror;
                                        labour, my dear, is what you are experiencing
                                                                             let it flow through, away from suppression
              Deeper and deeper into the unknown's holding
   with the child's essence a trusting companion
                                                         A passage of feminine presence guides the way,
                             shifting and dancing the form of abundant innocent expression
                  The chord, a string supporting nurturance, descends into the Light Source,
          the first organ, the HEART, a physical creation
                                                                 In tune with the full resonance of her vibrant LOVE,
                                  a change of rhythm, a breath, a gentle push, and
                a whole emerges to life's intimately intense undulations
                                        A family spirit welcomes the newness,
                       entering community, singing the song of a unified consciousness expansion

Spring equinox, Mother's day, New moon, lightness and darkness come together to dance the harmonic music of our precious mother, Gaia herself , as we celebrate the beauty, care, love of our nurturing Mothers ~~ blissful moments ...

the Language of humanity's Union

not knowing each other,
yet feeling
      the depth of the connection

a neutral land
         invites two cultures
to meet away from expectation

the presence so strong 

                     shaking the form of the circle,

     moving the heart of the masculine

an invitation of polarity joining
                               the sea of struggling emotions,
                 a revelation

touching, collapsing, dissolving,

the moment shows up                                      

            within all dimensions      

the senses awaken,

                  the body seeks grounding

 beyond tension

stillness, oneness, aloneness
                                                     all show up
               away from pretension

                                                                                unveiling the layers

                                            running along the shores
with naked childhood visions

preparing for the return
                                 with trust
                       and loving protection

                                     breaking the chatter,

    finding one's place

                                                                                                knowing what truly matters,

our passion

listening to the stories,
                                 recognizing the pattern

           spreading the wings of expansion

                 feeling the feminine 

                                  unfolding within the gathering,
           shifting the conversation

boldly dancing in the center

with the resonance of creation

healing the wounds of 

s       e       p    a      r     a    t     i      o        n

                              opening space for authentic communities,
                                                                           the heart of the coming generation

                                                                                                      recognizing the time to step out,
                                                     with full acknowledgment through
                    integration and completion

breathing compassion and LOVE

the language of humanity's

UNION 

Creative Women ~ within the heart of humanity

an expression comes through
on a surface see-through

rooted in earth's deep soil
fired out by the feminine's inner coil

moving along the road of authenticity
integrating the visible with invisibility

Presence for me and you to see
Essence that's sweet to be

together we will walk our talks
leaving our traces in colorful chalks

change embraced, holding us dearly
transforming our bodies, shaping us thoroughly

coming together, showing up finally
creative women spiralling within the heart of humanity

an expression comes through
spreading on the wings of the flowering new

Liberating the Old Story

In the confinment of the mental body
The movement was abrupt and unsteady

The edge smoothed out a seat to rest the physical body
The inner tension self-visible, yes so heavy

A journey of a child reveals the fear, so deeply
A comforting parent, holds, acknowledges, ever so lovely

Move out to clear through, step into the matter, attending compassionately
Join in, get ready

Masculine and feminine consciousness coming together, intentionally
Holding space for form to show up, gently

Responding to emergence through awareness, creatively
Breathe-in, Breathe-out, time to move on in the ordinary

Experiencing the knowing of life's beauty
In the vastness of humanity's heart unity

the Power of Difference

We're different, yes we're different
Dense and light in balance with no resistance
Grounded in values anchored in life's core radiance
Dancers of our uniqueness, in our forming togetherness
Surrounded by green petals, protecting, exposing our brilliance
Flowering on the stem of our existence, our presence
Uniting with the soil of our Heart's container, cultivating immanence
Spreading the pollens of our gifts, celebrating interdependence
We're different, yes we're different

Raindrops

raindrops on the hands, caress us
raindrops on the face, embrace us
raindrops reach us, cool us
raindrops teach us, feel us
raindrops flow free, no umbrellas between us
raindrops show us, naturally us
raindrops touch us, surprise us
raindrops dance us, move us
~~
~~ loving the experience of walking with the pouring rain
~~
raindrops on the hands, caress us
raindrops on the face, embrace us
