POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This is Human
-DW
——————

To look in the devil’s scarred face,
smile,
and carry on;
this is human.

To shake hands with the man who makes your skin crawl
while desiring only to hear his story;
this is human.

To drink rapture one day,
grieve catastrophe the next,
and see neither as better or worse;
this is human.

To hold a baby while aware that
every dictator, killer, and pedophile
was once one of these
divine-eyed miracles;
this is human.

To allow a flaming sunset
to destroy everything you knew,
falling wordless
and annihilated by awe;
this is human.

To see everyone you meet
as exactly who they are
in that moment
with no desire to change them;
this is human.

To feel;
this is human.

There’s something special about little children. They remind us, I think, of who we used to be. Innocent. Unlimited. Unfiltered. Untroubled.

We came into the world as pure love, and we can still return to that state of being - don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

You are loved.

You are love.
…

OK, enough philosophizing from me. I’m going to go spend time with this chubby little guy (me at one year old).

A midnight epiphany about shame, self-judgment, mental looping, and freedom.

This is something different.

It’s time to look in the mirror, and let go of trying to make it all work in isolation.

I believe we are all connected in invisible ways… and here I am choosing connection in visible ways.

Thank you for your unique place in my life story, and for welcoming me into yours. by @dawahlet

You see the beauty in others.
Do you see it in yourself?

This world has programmed us to look outwards, and then we miss the real treasure.

What is inside is powerful beyond description.

We all see it in you, dear human.
We’d love for you to see it, too.

Try giving your body time…touch…listening…deep breaths…unconditional forgiveness.

Treat it like your greatest lover, because, in a way, it has been. It has been your faithful companion longer than anyone else.

And then see how it responds. Hear what it has to say.

You may find that God was not as far away as they said he was. by @dawahlet

Comfort Zone taken in Glacier National Park by @dawahlet

Beyond a million mesas, a pilgrim with open hand sweeps in one dark night. A warrior child cuts the cords and tries walking. Baby steps, one and then another, spine straight, shedding shame. “Let it go” takes new meaning at the edge of the abyss.

The strong-barked tree holds all the feeling. The sun speaks simple solace healing. The intuition is revealing, and the angel hill stands golden crowned in teaching of what comes around.

Austin, your rumbling raucous reverie has been an unexpected winter haven. Thank you for the friends, the learnings, the blessings of this land.

There is enough in this moment. Whether to sit in solitude, or to share sweet sensation,
it is good.

It is enough to be alive, and to know love. To know love, and to be love, is all that I desire.

Solo amor. Todo bien. by @dawahlet

Intention

None of the words I post here are intended for anyone in particular. There was once a desire to change, to fix - but that is no longer the case. Here is the story of one walking alongside, pointing out the awesome beauty of Existence, the raw feeling of humanness, the infinite mysteries.

My job is to translate the reality I experience into images and words. The reception is not my responsibility.

You are exactly where you need to be right now. The root of Existence is unshakeable. There is nothing to be gained, only remembered. There is nothing wrong with you. It is ok. You are ok.

“We’re all just walking each other home.” - Ram Dass

Hey there ego! It’s you again little buddy. Thanks for sticking up for me, doing your best to keep me safe, feel seen, be understood, look special. I really appreciate it bro. But you know what? We got this. It’s ok. I’m ok. We can stop trying to feel safe, and we can just enjoy the ride. So go on then, off with you, you’re free to go outside and play. by @dawahlet

Casual Divinity
-DW
——————————

Resting in the emptiness of what already is, elevates the magnitude of ordinary bliss.

I can entertain the meaning that I do not comprehend, and then every single battle axe will become dull and bent.

Opening the crater of the cinder cone of truth, fill it full of cool waters of an azure blue.

There is no other place in life that I would rather be
than face down in the dirt at the base of this one tree;

at the intersection where the soil meets the air above, it is universally the place that’s full of life and love.

So here I lay exposed and raw and quietly I burn, free of all the remnants of the ragged shame and scorn,

Casual in divinity
Humbled in authority
Magnificently ordinary
And simply who I Am.
