I RARELY HAVE AN ADDRESS

many parts of my life are over, some are just beginning. 

i'm okay with that. 

i paint sometimes, but usually just with words. 

i move a lot. i leave pieces of myself in all the places i've been 

and hope to get them back in all the places i'll go. 

i generally live out of suitcases and sometimes feel like my life 

is a movie, alternating between "mute" and "blaring." 

my goal in life is to live in SF and write books, 

or teach books or sell books. 

i stare out of windows a lot and i miss the ocean 

more than i ever thought i would. 

i don't eat things with faces, evz. 

i'm generally sort of queer, in every sense of the word. 

i really enjoy a good hand holding. driving around or 

wandering aimlessly at night is one of my favourite past-times. 

i'm indecisive and intense and analytical. 

mostly, i am quite strange. 

i'm learning. 

i think human interaction is an odd concept, 

since there are so many variables. 

it's intriguing. 

i like talking to people and finding out the stories behind them.

because i don't know
when or how i'll
see you
again
and because i
don't know
what or where
you think -
i wanted to
give you something
from this city.
from this heart.

something raw
and red
for you to see.

it's not much,
but it is clean
and it is all i have.

thank you.

so i throw myself far enough to want it all."

Tiffany Sommer's writing is genuine, moving, inspiring, and emotionally complex......yet, also brilliant in poetic simplicity. We are proud to have her as one of our guests on this blog.

WOMAN RISE UP AND TAKE ON YOUR DESTINY

We all begin our lives as divine Beings. We are born of the Earth, yet we were conceived among the stars. Our true Home is a dimension that is hard to see here. But it can be felt deep inside our hearts, longing to be discovered. We have the power now to bring Heaven here - to literally bring our Home into this dimension. Sometimes we forget that we are divine by nature and design. Now is the time to remember.

Matriarch in Latin means "ruling mother". 

From mater "mother" and arkhes "ruling". 

(The words matrimony and matter are also derived from the latin mater.)

Now is the time for women of every creed to embrace their connection with their Higher Power. We need to remind each other that we have many ancient examples of valiant women as leaders and female heroes too. The stories are old and many have been lost, but we can find them. We also have current examples that we need to acknowledge and honor through our own unique way of sharing.

Connecting to the Goddess within is the first step for women to establish liberation on this planet. It is our birthright to ascend and to bring this entire dimension with us. When we tap into our authentic power we realize that our work is God's work. And that God's work directly, unmistakably, and very specifically includes conscious and empowered women. 

Women now more than ever before desire an effective and honest reflection of who they are destined to be and of who they already are. We must reach inside and let the Goddess in each one of us emerge and bloom into the breathtaking leaders we are. We have studied, trained, and prepared for this time in history...... for thousands of years. The moment has come for us to reflect one another in beautiful ways and to continuously confirm our innate Divinity. We are meant to be empowered, centered, and focused. Our adversaries know that once women begin to claim their birthright of leadership on this planet...... the game is over. Once we learn to focus on our visions and bring them toward us in clarity and precision...... there will be no stopping world harmony and ascension. 

The Book of  Michelle

The Book of  Michelle is a collection of sacred writings concerning humankind and their relationships with other Divine Beings and forces. I am grateful to be able to include it here, with other works of  Spirit.

DO YOU KNOW GOD?

The more I know and accept myself,

the more I know God

The more I replace judgment and fear with Peace and Compassion,

The more I know God

The more I give myself in service to others,

The more I know God.

THE MIRROR OF ME

 In a dream I looked into a pool and what I saw was me,

But in a gentler version of what we really see.

 

I was then shown, this pool really does reflect,

Every one I chance to meet, in all things that exist.

 

As I go about my day, do I see the piece of me,

that lives in everyone I meet, in every bird and tree?

 

It’s hard some days to see myself in beggar and in thief,

In Gossip and in Poverty as I pass it on the street.

 

Compassion is the key, how would it be if it was me?

Would I hope to get a smile from everyone I see?

 

Or would I like them to scorn and scold me for my mistake,

and pass me as so many did, leaving judgment in their wake?

 

Since I am a piece of God, and walk the Beauty way,

I must help myself up off the street and give encouragement away.

 

To give a smile.. … You can do It… I can understand,

I can help…what can I do…give a helping hand.

 

For in the ripples of the pool the reflection is You I see.

It’s hard to tell but I now know that you’re a part of me.

 

God has a Great Reflecting Pool, and as he looks Within,

In His Great Wisdom sees me inside of Him.

 

He treats me gently like a child, no matter what mistakes I make,

And all He asks in return is that I might do the same.
