The Light in the Snow
A small cottage sat silently in the middle of a vast, snow-covered land. The night sky was dark and endless, with nothing but a faint trail of snowflakes swirling in the cold breeze. In the heart of the silence, the little house glowed warmly—a beam of hope cutting through the frigid night.

30 Seconds Of Love
'I imagine a world where authenticity is the keycode to living your finest high-vibrational life' A masterful state of true self exuding all the magnificent parts you are from the heart of soul, a loving center of the universe forged in the ascending fires of source An alluring tale of creation whispering through the dark space of ascension. It is a haunting song of unconditional love in its purity and invention. The divine is an authentic story of imagination and manifestation, an architect of illumination carving a universe and world we honor as home. Was the source a wondering spirit lost in realms of their psyche awareness with every inspiring thought? Or was this a God alone in the abyss, feeling the emptiness of their solitary self? Either way, we are thankful for this cosmic warrior who garnished a monument of interstellar elegance from the depths of their curious self. Biblical text tells us the universe, planet Earth, animals, and humans were created in six days, but what if it only took 30 seconds of love to bring forth the theatre of the cosmos? The power of love is invincible, eternal, and immortal. It is an endless thread of purity, an essence of liberty, levity, and light. To fall in love is to feel the glamor of our origins or a glimpse of a past life returning to preach the true meaning of love.

Representation feeds imagination
São Paulo-Brasil, 1998. I was ten years old. Fourth grade. Every school day, my girlfriends and I would get together between classes to talk. I remember this day so clearly. It was an extra important day: Chiquititas, the most popular teen girls tv series at that time, had announced an open casting call for its second season, and they were looking for girls, like us. They were all excited and making plans for how they would submit their applications. I was not.

Lies and Truth
Is there any real benefit to hiding our inadequacies, mistakes, or sins? Who does it serve in the end to fill our environment with corrosive lies? Lies have chains that only stretch so far. Once we've reached the end of that chain we are pulled back with a violent whip-lash that leaves us and those within our spheres broken and maimed. What is the true damage in a lie? Is it the power that resides in spoken bonds, or does it rest in denying who we truly are. Can one who is blind to who they truly are ever find a sure place to stand? Why do we lie to our best selves? Is there too much pain? Or is it anticipation? Perhaps we are filled with anxieties of the unknowns of who we truly are? Will we actually like ourselves? Will we be trapped if we look and see, or are we unable to accept our own "un-acceptabilities"? Perhaps there's a notion, or an unspoken pressure, or law from the world that once you've seen yourself you must stay put, slap a sticker label on your forehead, and declare to yourself and the world that this is who you are, and that you require no more looks, time, or reason. In this web of fear it's all to clear that we have hewn the bars of our inward prisons. If the devil cannot keep us from being contented and satisfied with our blindness, then his next course of action will be to convince us that remaining in our assorted ranks and ways will keep us safe, and that any effort to step outside of that norm is dangerous, idiotic, or just not worth the effort. Why did the serpent tell our father Adam and our mother Eve to hide when they could perceive Elohim approaching? Why did he say to take some fig leafs and cover their "nakedness"? Perhaps there was another teaching hidden within the lie communicated by the serpent that was rhetorical? Fear is a powerful motivation to push us to cover our "exposed" places. It seems that the devil was more interested in getting Adam and Eve to fear Elohim to the point of trying to hide themselves from him in a time that they could actually use a councilor and friend- If the devil can win at teaching a false character of God then he does not have to work very hard to convince the sons of Adam, or daughters of Eve to hide from God. There may be a time when we try to hide from our divine self and from God, when our weaknesses or inadequacies are brought into the light. There may even be a time of stepping away, and doing some work so that, like Adam and Eve, we may return to the presence of the divine, where lies disguised as truth cannot be. Walking in the ways of truth- even if it may scourge our pride for a time is much more bearable than continuing to hid and be drown in a flood of lies over time.

Ensuring Fairness and Inclusivity in Women’s Sports
Growing up, I was raised in a faith that taught me to love everyone, regardless of their journey on this earth. My religious upbringing instilled in me the importance of compassion, empathy, and inclusiveness toward all people, no matter their background or identity. In recent years, the debate surrounding the inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports has grown increasingly contentious. Both sides present compelling arguments: advocates for inclusion emphasize the importance of equality, while critics raise concerns about fairness and safety in athletic competition. A balanced and equitable solution that respects the rights of all athletes while maintaining the integrity of women's sports may lie in the creation of distinct subgroups for transgender and cisgender athletes. This proposal has the potential to embrace inclusion without compromising fairness, fostering a sporting environment that promotes respect and opportunity for everyone.

My First Love
The sun dappled through the overhang of leaves, creating moving shaded areas on the well used wooden seats of the old library. Aryan, a tranquil kid with a universe of contemplations behind his scenes, was immersed in an exhausted duplicate of "Pride and Bias." His heart beat with an odd musicality, a blend of expectation and apprehension, as he sat tight for her.

My Ancient Quest
'I just want to be me' Live my life my way as a blueprint for my journey as a soul navigating the rhetoric of my human self. If we think about how amazing this life can be as a vehicle for intrepid growth we get to feel excited about the possibilities and let's face it they are infinitely endless. From the moment we are born a guardian angel is assigned to us and will stay with us until we leave this earthly life. And if we want to stretch the mind to corridors often closed off we can allow a belief there will be spirit guides that are also assigned to watch over our path. A mortal march through the fields of adventure where souls go to party as a human female or male. Some might ask why we do it. Choose to embark on a journey in a 3-D foreign land. A starlit sanctuary where anything can happen amidst the best-laid plans of a soul script meticulously prepped for thirst-quenching growth. Planet Earth is an enigma a mindset all of its own but still, we hunger to set sail for shores far from our cosmic home to explore the Nirvana dream. An ideal of enlightenment and awakening to the truth of self. Unlike the programs instilled to constantly challenge and disbelieve who we truly are. A divine soul designed with love by a creator who was inspired to bring forth a universe of celestial beauty and enchantment. A reservoir of enterprise induced by an innovative mind able to manifest into reality their infinite imagination. They say Nirvana is achievable if we grow with the changing tides. Still, many settle for a conditioned style of life with patterns clogging up our divine ID a galactic bloodline that goes back to the beginning. Masked by human beliefs there is no source or God only us drifting in time and space. This spin doctor rap breeds a disconnect with our divine origin as a heterosexual or gay human doing their best in a compromised world. I reincarnated as a lesbian so I could experience what it is to be gay. Not everyone will agree with this belief but as a spiritualist who honors the concept of reincarnation.

Rise Of The Divine Feminine
'Who is the divine feminine of Planet Earth? Is she a petite wallflower or a woman of passion, integrity, and purpose?' The former is the illusion as her ancient ties to leadership prove different. This divine feminine has a sparkle from knowing she is a cosmic powerhouse. She is unmatched in her quest to defeat paradigms that depict her as submissive, silent, and a good wife who never questions her husband's authority. This is not the modern mademoiselle who struts her diamante glitz with self-honor, self-respect, and love. The divine light, she carries like a torch beaming into the programs that had her quietened by men who feared her innate strength. Centuries of suppression have left a mark of abandonment as she trailed behind the masculine deemed the most powerful in the home and state affairs. A hangover from the Garden of Eden where Eve was portrayed as a temptress after eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and encouraging Adam to do the same. According to biblical scripture, God punishes Eve with the curse of painful childbirth for allowing the devil to tempt her, and on it goes as she carries the spirit of original sin if you care to believe in the religious storyline. Either way - the Eves of Planet Earth are the carriers of the masculine seed ensuring the continuance of the human race. A peculiar species that once revered women as warriors, leaders, and powerhouse allies of their male counterparts in ancient cultures. For example, The Viking wife was strong in status and often a fearless warrior who could own property and choose a mate for life. The typical belief that women from earlier times were compliant and a shadow of their husbands' importance is hardly true as we unveil the commanding influence many had on their families and communities in Greece and Egypt the land of the female pharaohs as the Egyptian Gods were male and female. The star on the red carpet of ancient Egypt is immortalized through Cleopatra the notorious Queen of the Nile whose leadership and affairs of the heart are glamorized as a woman who shone a light on female autonomy.

Legendary Lightworkers
'Welcome to the greatest show on Earth' A cosmic interplay of stars, planets, and movements that inspire spectacular growth. Creation is the vision of a maestro whose music is the breath of life. A mystery and a force to be reckoned with as every planet, moon, and sun movement is tethered to the expansiveness of our conscious thought, The higher we go the more we know as we see beyond the clouds and become awakened through our enlightening experiences as a soul in human form. Not everyone will resonate with this creation thinking except those who intuit we are here to ascend the programs of a Magician Earth. A place where influence has decided the code of life through religious text and leadership roles honored by the masses. Since the birth of man, our faith has been modified by those around us and their innate ideals. The more powerful became rulers and benevolently or not commanded their followers to honor and abide by their rhetoric--- forming collectives or civilizations. These were earlier gatherings inspired by the spirit of camaraderie and community plus a sense of safety and economy. Many looked to the stars for answers to their human origins. From this came an array of religions or worship of idols each reflecting the cosmos and the environment they perceived as a celestial home. Mankind had arrived and Mother Earth welcomed her companions with an open heart and optimism. Creation had sent souls disguised as humans on a mission of higher intention through the art of reincarnation. Not all will agree with this life-birthing theme and there are numerous interpretations of our genesis written in books that date back thousands of years. It all comes down to what you believe and many versions are circulating to confuse the most intelligent human scholars. It was a precarious journey through the forest of truth and programs endorsed by ancestors who were adamant they knew who God was and what was expected of us.
