Transitions are important things. Time for reflection as well as planning. Time to savor the joy, reassess lessons learned, and prepare for even more joy. As seasons change and changes process, we have time to pause in thanks and move forward with resolve.

These transitions are important and should be honored in your own fashion. For some, it is a quiet catch of breath and a smile. For others, it is marked and measured as sure as sunrises and sunsets. Regardless of the method, honor it. You deserve the wash of success and this will fuel as well as accelerate the journey forward. In SOURCE, of SOURCE, and with SOURCE. The tribe in motion and the herd safely in tow.

Maturity is sweet. Maturity of self as each grows. Maturity is not of age in this realm. Maturity is not of years or earned in cookie cutter steps to the achievement. Maturity is as individual as each in the tribe. It, as with all things, begins inside. For some, there it stays. The light of understanding and acceptance of self never breaks through the darkness of denial and doubt. For others, it takes longer and longer and then shines forth still shadowed by the remains of the darkness. For a select few, the light not just breaks through the darkness but shatters it and all shadows within and beams forth like the sun.

This light shines and warms and energizes all that see it and all that bask in its protection. This is the light of self as understanding matures and power results.

You have held and been held. Gentle and sweet. With innocence. That is your way and your way is right. Do not do anything at the expense of others. That is not just you but that is tribe.

Look now at what you are and what you become. Look and smile. Look and enjoy. Look and love what is held as well as what holds.

Comfort in the embrace of belonging and connection. Comfort surely and firmly and sweetly. Comfort and be comforted for this is needed for all.

Do not waiver. Do not doubt. Enjoy what is yours with surety of place and connection. The more you comfort and are comforted, the safer for all.

Word, Man

Everything else is something between writing. It all feeds the Writer. Calms. Humbles. Energizes. At times, it frustrates. For the Writer was born to write. All the other things were other things that mattered at the time. All the other things were something that the Writer tolerated….sometimes impatiently. When you are supposed to be something and that something is like breathing to your soul you should be that something. Other things were times in the dressing booth of a costume shop on what am I to be supposed to be shopping sprees. I am a writer. When I write, I am alive and doing what I was born to do. When I do other things, I am in between writing.

Books are inside of me. Others’ stories waiting to be told. Actually, waiting to be read. Yes, story telling is part of my writing. Yet the words are meant to sail across the universe and dock in minds open and waiting for what they already knew. My words stir thoughts. They stir inside of me, roar out, calm one beast, and whirlwind on to feed the hungry. Passion fruit. Joy seeds. Aha droppings. Simple connections for complex beings.

Short Stories. Poems. Missives. Massives. For the Masses and not so massive. For the small of doubt and large of heart. For people just like me that died a long time ago, struggle to survive now, and wait to be born. Look while I am here and I am here. Look when I am gone and I am here. Eternity begins with a word. I am Word. Word after word is my life sentence. Life is lived on death row and writing is life after death, during death, and greater than death. Till death to us part? Not me. I am a Writer and the word is greater than the sword, the flesh, and the critics who sit on the sideline and complain about my view.

Laws come from within. The compass that makes us what we are. Right and wrong are from the heart and soul of each and the laws that guide us must first be from self. The enforcer of these laws comes from within as well. No one can hold anyone else accountable but each can and must hold themselves accountable.

Laws of Tribe should always honor this for written laws should cover the universals. The truths and values all hold. The “shall nots” got it wrong. Honor Thy Self. Respect the honor of all others.

There should be few laws and even fewer enforcers that are not of self. The very need for more laws and more enforcers speaks of internal decay. Do not tolerate nor enable any who do not honor their own law of self. Beware of any who seek to impose their unique law choices on others.

The universal laws should be known and agreed upon. The universal laws should also be few. That is Justice. That is Community.

Community is work. Many seek it but then quit once the work begins. The work of being together and building the future. The work of knowing the past and working through it. The work of knowing all about all and linking hands that sometimes frustrate. This is not for the faint of heart. There will be upsets and will be set-backs. Clashes will be large and small.

These obstacles are not truly from within. These things are set as barriers by forces that do not wish community of kindred to work. Forces that would prefer the status quo or even less of the SOURCE. They set barriers and hurdles of egos, greed, selfishness, and self importance.

Some will fall during this battle. Some will choose the easy path. Look inside yourself and you will see the strength there to do it. Strength self empowered with the strength of tribe, accelerated with the strength of herd, and synergized with the strength of the SOURCE.

There are times to be alone and process. To go forth into the woods or the hills and the woods and hills of the mind and just be. All need this some times. Tribe and herd. Ruler and follower. All need some time to be alone. This does not isolate. This empowers.

Isolation is different. Isolation is separation. It is hiding. It is division. Those that seek isolation hide from healing and answers and help. There is an irony in those that seek isolation in that most will not seek it alone. Beware. Isolationists run and horde and harm. Keep not to nor with them. Tribe is not of that. Tribe is of tribe and of herd and of world as well. Tribe does not isolate. Tribe includes.
