Let go of that which is gone.
Let go of that which is lost.
Let go of that which is not yet happening.
What has happened in the past and what will

The Time Will Come…

Reading and Anara SPA  practice – 03/01/2010

A light shone thru.
Scathes my lack of intention
Attacks my dullard fears
Presses me on
And pulls the reigns of attention
Back from unconscious years.

The Only Child

Reading from Anara Spa and Koloa practice 08/13/09
As your fortune comes to carry you down the line
And you watch
as the changes unfold
And you sort among the stories you’ve been told
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find
And the answers to your questions are hard to hold
