OCEAN WATER

We are mostly water, so be watery, fluid in movement, fluid in feelings, fluid in mind, and fluid in life. Soft, open, receptive without stress, stiffness, solidity. Going this way and that and all around, intuitively and trusting. Easy does it.
Oceanic, you are deep and expansive. Broaden your horizons and plumb the depths of your being. Within you is a mystery to explore, the ocean of emotion, which has no reason but which moves us here and there. Feel the feeling and go with it. No dams, no judgment. Be free.
And deep within, discover your own current, where you are led. Follow it, for it will carry you effortlessly. Let go and surrender to the path of least resistance. Float with the unfathomable yet inexorable pull to be in your flow.
Waves are only surface and temporary excitations and agitations. Let them go on and on as you bobble up and down, bouncing high and going low. The waves of emotion are in your nature and necessary to the energetic way of living.
Observe without attachment
and be still
yet always moving
and unsettled.
Adaptable
Changeable
Transparent
Power is porous
Liberation is liquidity.
Creature of the fishy past,
Move tail first
Swim
don’t run.
Rebalance yourself
Jump in the sea
Get wet
Salty
back to the amniotic
to remember.
Drink your fluids
don’t pollute your water
and your ocean.

“Hierarchies exist in nature, there are number ones.”
You are elegant by design and functional to the max. Excellence by nature, shoot to the top and streak to the goal. Nothing less than the best, number one wins. Your power is in the stalk and and persistent pursuit until the mark is reached.
Go for it as you streak and reach. Stand up, stand out. Your beauty is in the process of growing, achieving, evolving. And celebrate your success with a coat of simple elegance and appearance. Show up!
Present yourself
In radiance
To be seen.
In volume
Over and
Over again
Small spots
Of repetition
Noticed
Gets your points
Across.
Show off
Strut your stuff
Create a stir
A walking advertisement
To flush out
Your market and sustenance.
Get attention
You have the attraction
Be bold, colorful, chic, exotic.

“Nature runs wild and free”
Beyond the horizon, beyond the beyond, ride to the frontier. You are a forerunner, scout of a new way and a new day. Pathfinder, leading the way and setting the pace, bring your message home.
Run with your heart … follow your instincts … gallop on courage … and blaze your own trail. Look ahead to the venture.
Summoned
By the power of the horse
You are free
You are wild
Abandoned
To the wind of your breath
Fly the barriers
Jump the limits
Magic steed
Of freedom’s skies.

“Nature is a home that works.”
Form follows function. Establish your purpose and build your way. Design for your designs. Organize, compose and fashion your home and workspace into a social and useful architecture that works.
In the cellular tradition of the hive, build a honeycomb of interdependent, independent parts. Maximize community and individuality. Bring a sense of sweetness, yet functional industry to your place.
Get down to the bare bones, an infrastructure that is core and base, thus a foundation that is strong and solid. Make it resilient with a simple complexity that is efficient and renewable, and with a symmetry that gives it identity and distinctiveness.
Organize organically because then you will have a structure that protects like a fortress for the creations within. Creativity flourishes in commune, a social network of comfortable busy-ness in the airy and light, clean and spacious, private and open, artsy and practical. Keep a balance between openness and boundaries, synergy and security.
Be prepared to Subtract and add on To your eco-lodge
To move on
As you move on.
Don’t forget
The body home
Of bones and sinews
that hold yet flex.
Strengthen and Stretch.

“Nature is a collection of details, details upon details upon details.”
Attentive and attendant to the little things is the foundation of the greatest and the grandest. Like the humble mouse, get down to the microscopic. In the little and minute, is the microcosm, the map and key to the whole macrocosm. Revere the power of the small. No big deal is a big deal. Start tiny, from small acorns mighty oaks grow.
Let no whisker feel obstruction, or threat of the undone, or undoing of the unobserved. Be alert to every movement as opportunity and danger. Let nothing escape the up-close fine eye of up-close vision and hands-on micro-management.
Burrow in and hunker down, safe and secure in your niche. Tunnel to success, find your place and know your place. Squirrel away your just due.
With little needs and patient goals, small is beautiful, small is abundant, small is fulfilling. Be the mouse … that roared!
Working in small ways
Of industry
Inconvenient to the high fliers
Unnoticed by the big
Unthreatening to the mega,
Search and research
Capitalizing on leftovers
Tidbits of treasured information
In unfilled gaps
And open windows of opportunity.
A sized-down enterprise
An economy of means,
You are the mouse
Garage innovator and entrepreneur
Of no overhead and little costs.
Bite your way in
Bit by bit
With persistence
Gnawing a hole in the marketplace
And cave of sustenance.

No commentsPALM
“Nature uses and recycles all of itself.”
Like a palm tree, make sure that no thing goes unused. Every thing, every one, every where, every situation is useful, all past roots, present trunk, and future fruit. Ecologic is economic.
In the core of the palm is the gift of creation and re-creation, just as Easter rebirth and resurrection is in your hands. Eternal life comes with starting over – again and again and again – and is a natural by-product of re-sourcing and re-cycling all your gifts. Even in dry sands, you are a self-sustaining oasis of regeneration by reaching deep into your own wellspring that nourishes your thirst for aliveness.
As a victory palm, you bring life to all who seek your refuge. Hidden under your shady frond is relief and refuge. You are a full service branch of untold resources in service to the family tree, yet whole unto yourself.
Your full stalk of fertility
Reaches to skyward light
Look up! Wake up!
Lest the coco nut
Whack you
On the side of the head.
Coco loco
Now you see differently.
The plumage of your verdant
Phoenix
In its singular beauty
Carries the milk
Waters of life
That fans and oils the flame
Of eternal growth.
With erected spine
Of standing tall,
And flexible maypole
Bending low …
The life source flows
Freely.

“Nature is abundant beyond our wildest imagination.”
You are abundant everywhere in everything and in every moment. Fields abloom, ready to pop, all you need do is re-source as you unfold your heart to the limitless and infinite source of life inside. Within you are countless seeds of potential, waiting for your intention and attention to break out. Open up and receive with ease and joy the glorious beauty and success that only needs to be invited in.
Plant your dreams in live your fantasies. Root down your successes and establish your field. Cultivate your talents and garden your growth. Burst forth into expression and blossom into prosperity. Unfold and flower. Go wild! Come out, come out whoever you are. Be seen, be bold, more and more. Do not limit, block or reserve yourself. Let it all burst forth!
In you …
Richness
Beauty
Creativity
Profusion
Perfection.
More than enough
Ask
Receive
Volunteer.

1 commentPRIMATE

“Nature grows by quantum leaps and bounds.”
You are a new breed, a hybrid of consciousness. A mutant mutineer, you have crossed over. Through your volition, you make the revolution. Jump over the incremental.
Make us laugh in the way you monkey around. But in your mimic, the way you ape, you stretch your expression. Act as another and transform yourself.
Primal, hairy beast, you are a primitive. You can’t fool us disguised in your clothes and civilized ways. Take it off. Give your civility a rest. Wild wo/man, screech and howl, beat and bound. A little wildness goes a long way to prevent the big madness.
Of primal nature, yet human different, you bring vision and feelings to adjudicate the primordial laws of instinct. So scream and shout, when appropriate to climb back into the family tree.
You are evolving
From stationary to mobile
Simple to complex
All fours to on your two feet
Functional to creative
Survival to thrival
Reflexive to proactive
Instinct to choice.
You are new
And improved
By your response ability
To opportunity
And to necessity:
The growing grounds
of change.

“Everything in nature is of value.”![]()
Gold is under your feet, walk on it and work with it. Silicon, our second most common element, is a common miracle. To make magic of the mundane, value the obvious. Look about you, everything has potential.
Use what you have, for you are loaded, full of invaluable resources and magic. The genie in you wants to come out. Be ingenious, use what seems to be common and refine the coarse. Look into the potential and see everyday application. Like a reworked silicon chip, crystallize your idea, try it out, hone it, do it again. Low tech into high tech, take all the right steps, down- to-earth, doing what has to be done, establishing the bottom line structure for utilization. And insulate your treasure, protect it and guard it with your life.
Ordinary
Everywhere
Riches abound.
Its what you do with them
That counts.
So, count your chips
And play them!

“Rock bottom is the basis of all things.”
Back to basics, establish and re-establish your purpose and mission – the philosopher’s stone on which you base your actions. With un-cracking belief in your vision and ability, you build the rock-base foundation of success. Hold to the core values and principles that structure and support. Hard as a rock, even in tumbles, keep your integrity. Go to the bottom, the rock-bottom to get to the bottom of things. These are the fundamentals and fundament that give you a rock of ages, a pillar of continuity that holds solid and continuous.
Each stone, like every person, is bumpy and irregular, nothing spectacular, just whole unto itself. Don’t stub your toe on another. Walk lightly with gratitude for support and under-standing.
Like a rolling stone
Forming
And reforming
Constantly shape your work
By design.
Reformulate.
Sand to pebble to boulder
Formation and accretion
Of molding together
Collect
Coalesce
Build.
