There are lots of essential acids that we aren’t producing like we used too due to lack of proper nutrition (and proper awareness). More conciousness in that field in regards to a well rounded nutrition system would be wonderful! People seem to want to walk the concious road when given the ability to understand, options and directions.

The way it came out sounds interesting too, however I have no doubt in the power & capacity of the human mind, it is a beautiful gift! (once again disguised as work!)

: )

Its interesting to see that breath is the spirit’s natural way to balance out and transcend internal yin & yang. Being aware of that at all times and trusting in it while exercising the ability is our mind’s daily balancing act to master. Both yoga and martial arts have been powerful ways for me to realize those skills as well. I believe in strength of spirit and mind of matter; and like with anything, the more we practice, the more we strengthen that skill.. breathing feels like a wonderfully natural way to start!

I can not agree with this more! It’s a theme that runs through my work. I’m so impressed by the high caliber of your Quotes, Steve. Thank you for this one.

“You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.”

I have said as much in my poem entitled, Life just is which you can read at Poemeister but here’s a tease:

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading your Quote page and Biography. I worked for a small group of scientists, geophysicists and seismologists, and a former asst. director to the director of the DoD who was very into artificial intelligence. He edited the first edition of the Handbook of Nuclear Weapons Effects (EM-1) which was a fascinating read. Not! Based on subject matter only, it’s pretty disturbing. Anyway, that, and the fact you’re a massage therapist resonates with me because I personally know a lot about massage therapy, vicariously, from my own therapeutic massage therapist during my once a week session over five years. I can’t mention her name other than to say the Washington Redskins wanted her but she declined due to her private clientile. I think I’m her poster child. *smile* I wish people knew more about massage therapy and its lasting benefits to the body, mind and spirit. It’s all connected and some miraculous things can happen during a long course of it. She’s the first person I go to and I totally by-pass chiropractic care because it doesn’t address the whole body. Oh, my goodness, I’m sorry to rattle on like this. I could espouse the many, many benefits of massage therapy and never get tired. Knowing you’re a massage therapist tells me so much about you and what drives you. Okay, I’ll stop now. I don’t want to overstay my visit here. I’ll be coming back because I like what I see/sense here. *big smile*

I’m like a heat-seeking missile for excellent poetry. heh heh

I can’t tell you how happy I am to be introduced to Jewel Mathieson’s poetry. Now, I must go check out the link you provided and swoon again. Some rare ether, that. I hope you don’t mind if I link to your site and share my good fortune with my readers.

And please feel welcome to come to my site and give me some constructive criticism. It’s the only way to whittle away the crap. I think I b*mbed with Ode to Maggie because of its length. It’s the longest piece I’ve written and would love to get some feedback on whether it works.

Do you also write poetry?

Just an aside: I once knew a ME man named Kabir who was some sort of psychic. He told me when I was a young pup that I should not marry until I’ve dated 10 men. He said that way I’ll have learned about the 10 personalities attributable to men and would be able to make a wise choice based on my experience with the different types. Far out, huh? I also liked the Kabir poem, I’ve burned my own house down.

I’m so glad you like it! And I’m amazed you found my newly birthed site so quickly. Your poetmeister page looks wonderful.

Jewel is a great poet:

and is quite involved with the 5 Rhythms dance. More of her poetry also appears in Gabrielle Roth’s gem of a book: “Connections, The Five Threads of Intuitive Wisdom”.

Gabrielle says: “I remember the first time Jewel burst into my vision – liquid motion, raw passion. Her poetry rocks! In her surrender, I have seen god with my own ears.”
