When do you most love coming home?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 04, 2008:

When a loved one gets out of the hospital or something. I've learned to appreciate release dates alot  since we've had some big blows to our family in 2007. It's like a sigh of relief when a family gets to come home. Like.. everything should be okay. Even though we are not out of the woods yet, it's still good to know that the doctors believe there is enough strength to have them home.

Negativity.

It's all around us. There are two things we can choose to do with it.
Succumb or ignore.

Since my epiphany, revelation what have you, I've come to terms with many negative forces. I am sad to admit that one of the most detrimental forces is some one in my own family. I am sad to call her that because she is the head of the family but it's true.


One of the most defeating sentances anyone can say to you contains the words. You can't. You can't has been a catalyst for many peoples dreams coming true. You can choose to believe You Can't or choose to prove the neigh-sayer wrong.


But what about "I won't let you" What about trying to make a difference, and the people around you are just refusing to give you the slightest bit of leverage to do what you think is right.

I can't do anything extra special right now. I can't give to Kiva or any micro-loaning agencies. I can't lend a helping hand to the disaster victems in Mumbai or help stop the Cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe. I am not able to do these things because my financial and educational situation will not allow it.

I can, however, recycle, donate food to food drives, volunteer my time, petition for a better world, learn to keep myself healthy spiritually, mentally and physically, and be the change I want.

How is it that I let some one make me feel bad about doing this. How can some one who is my family try to make me feel like everything I do is for nothing.

This is my baracade. This woman who is to blind to see that her grandaughter wants to better the place that she left in shambles. That her own daughter is at least making an effort to do the same for this generation. Why can't she?

What do I do?

How can I help this.

Giving up is not an option.. I stand by my great mother Gaia.
I've laughed in the face of my adversity. What do I do when my adversity laughs back?

Help?

Posted on Dec 17th, 2008 by ch3shyr3_cat : avant garde ch3shyr3_cat
Times they are a changin

So.. I'm about to go clean, take a shower, then meditate.



I feel there are somethings that I need to question. Somethings that I need answers to.

Since I've entertained the idea that I might be indigo, I have been taken to wild and new ideas that have made the world open up to me in a way It never has.

I see things more clearer than I ever have. I see things for what they are. (for the most part)

I can feel, see, hear, smell, the earth as she changes. I can see us changing with her. Society seems a little less.. cold. A little more open. But then again thats only my experience.

Ever since the idea that I might be as different from the rest of the world, as I always thought I was has lead me to the idea of our evoulution.

2012 and the Mayan Calender. The end of the world as we know it. The world we know is going to stop soon. The world we know is going to exsist no longer and the new world we are preparing for is going to take place.

I have to ask, what happens to those who do not prepare enough, what happens to those who don't prepare at all. Is it something I'm going to have to wait to see what happens. I don't want anyone I love to be left behind? I do not want to be left behind.
My crown chakra aches when I think to much on these things.

Will those of us disappear who are ready to become one with the new world? Will we be unveiwable to the naked eye of an 'unevolved' human?

I can feel myself changing. Moving away from me and towards we.
There are alot of things holding me back right now.
My anger gets the best of me sometimes.
I feel like I have a blockage that I desperately need to get through before I begin this ascension.
I believe that blockage is my own duality. My own need to have seperate be equal parts of myself? This blockage is set by me. I really want to overcome it but I just don't understand how.

My epic meditation happened yesterday. I am hungry for more of what I felt. I want to be at one with everything. I feel the love.

I have felt like this before. Along time ago before I grew up a little. Felt so overwelmed with wanting.. so near but so far. I'm waiting for something to happen. I am waiting for my mission to be come clear. I don't want to be left here in this world that I tire of but love so much. The duality of this world tries me. The duality of myself tries me.

I am so tired.
I feel blind in my path now.
It was so clear a few monthes ago.
I've hit a place that is dark(now like.. negativity, like.. blind). The next step is hidden in the darkness. I don't know where I'm going. I'm reaching out for a guiding light. 
My intuition tells me I will find the guilding light here. 
Untill then I stumble blindly feeling my way through the darkness. Hopeful as ever. 

The next step will be the right one. I need a little help taking it though. 
Please. 

infinite love, 
Ashley

In my last contemplative blog.
I confessed a dead spot.

Happily I am on my way again.

I was so afraid that I would be left behind in this great transition. I looked inward for console (as well as outward) and found it in both places.

Today while listening to some beautiful music and knitting. I had a realization.

I am not waiting for my body to awaken. It is doing it as we speak. I am dropping bad habits left and right, feeling pulled towards more natural things.

For instance. It's not to say that quiting smoking wasn't hard for me, but it was easier than everyone made it out to be.

Yes I've had the occasional slip up, but for the most part I quit and never looked back.

Now the pull to cut meat out of my diet is stronger than ever (although my family is less than happy about this) I feel wonderful that I am not eating our friends.

To make th transition smooth.. I'm going to start pescotarian (lacto ovo as well) and move from there.

My mind is clearer than ever and my spirits are high!!!

This is my body awakening.. I have nothing to be afraid of. :)

thanks to everyone who supported me.
Much love,
Ashley

The Fragile.

Posted on Dec 28th, 2008 by ch3shyr3_cat : avant garde ch3shyr3_cat

(please, don't think I'm depressed.. I'm not depressed. I'm not going to kill myself or anything.. .
I've read some where once that there is a difference between being depressed and in agony. Depression happens when nothing really matter. Agony instills when something matters.. so much. Just a side not to this poem.)

I've waited here for you for so long.

Breathing in the memory of times we've spent togather.

Something quickens in my heart when your voice echoes in my ears.

I can't wait to see you again, my friend.


I can't wait to see you walk away again.

I can't wait to see you turn your back to me.

I can't wait to scrape my knees falling for you again.

I can't wait for you to never see.


You words to me like scratches on the insides of my wrists.

Your goodbyes like the gashes that stop my breathe.

Your love would be a tourniquet to the blood we've spilled.

I can't bring myself to pretend that what I feel is nothing more

Than an illusion never realized.

I can't wait to dream of you again.


I can't wait to watch you kiss me.

I can't wait to hear my name on your lips.

I can't wait for you arms around me.

I can't wait... I can't wait..


I'm fragile to your voice, my friend.

So fragile to your ways.

I'm crystal around your neck, my friend.

I shattered to peices for you.
 everyday.
