Acting on Creative Inspiration

Creative inspiration is accessible to all of us. Our muse sits on our shoulder, delighted to feed us ideas. The first step is to listen, then act. It takes energy and concerted effort to get our creative children in shape and out into the world. Writers must spend much time sitting at the desk honing their craft. However, the body requires more than finger movement to maintain the vigor needed for health and effectiveness.

I have learned this the hard way, by feeling my energy drain like old oil from a jalopy. This morning I jumped on our mini trampoline for five minutes before breakfast, then did leg kicks for a short morning break to get my blood pumping.

I had an informative session with nutritionist extraordinaire, Amy Smith in Sebastopol. She has me exercising more, reducing dairy and increasing greens, as well as taking supplements and doing salt scrubs to let go of sluggishness and move forward in life with vitality. I am to go on two walks a day and practice yoga each afternoon. My sedentary body is complaining, but I’m not listening, for I know not only thriving, but surviving depends on it.

I invite all of you to intertwine your daily hours with movement, so you might experience a life of vibrant fulfillment.

Wild Woman’s Beat

Wild woman beats upon inner rib cage,
until my body‘s a book of her tapping Morse code,
an inside tattoo that’s been hidden
from the world
and even me.
Wild woman, across each nerve synapse,
your insistent drumming sends messages,
softly at first,
that become louder with my ignoring,
“Sensual love. Love sensual.
Life dance! Dance life!”
Addictions have muffled your sounds,
Stuffing your mouth has muted
but not silenced you.
I’ve walled you up in muscle and joint,
held you prisoner
within the confines of my skin
until you breathe fire on those who are dear,
and those who come near.
Hot flashes are your heat that’s been denied.
My judgmental ways feed a wildfire
that burns out of control...
You dance within me on every full moon,
course through me as smoldering desire
which must be fulfilled through soul moves
or hardened into igneous rock
by resistance to your flow
I die before my time,
inch by rigid inch.
When I respond to your hammering,
you soften the mold of my becoming,
the true self rivers of experience surge me toward.
Your supple moves keep me young
with sensual delight.
Your arousal summons youthful succulence...
I harness your force to drive my dreams!
Wild woman, I breathe in your power
and rhythmic beat
to dance with your life, my life,
in ardent, moist heat,
sexy and mine,
juicy and divine.

Transcending Limiting Ancestral Patterns

I’m transcending limiting ancestral patterns through current challenges with my family. Because I care, I’ve had a tendency or addictive pattern to get sucked into their drama and feel guilty when I don’t suffer and they do. Of course, I want the best for them and do prayer treatments in their behalf, yet they have free choice and are responsible for their lives. I can have compassion and listen to their woes without being dragged down by them.

 I am learning to not become enmeshed with my family’s crises and their opinions of me when I don’t try come to their rescue and jump into the pit of misery with them. The daily inspirations in “Spirit is Calling” by Chris Michaels and Edward Viljoen are helping me take a stand for myself. Page 108 has a powerful statement I repeat often. It pulls me into the joy of the moment, this fabulous life of mine. “I am not a victim. I am a partner with God, creating a wonderful life.”

Sometimes after lunch, before jumping into the next task, I feel like being present to my abundance. I mentally sit in gratitude, thinking of and taking in everything I am thankful for. My horoscope in last week’s Bohemian newspaper said, “More than ever before, you have the power to want what you actually have...to enjoy the fruits of your labors...to take your attention off the struggle so that you may fully love the experiences your struggle has earned you.” Rob Brezsny

May you enjoy the abundance, love, pleasure, and beauty you’ve created!

I Have

I have this moment, these eyes that see,
This body that feels.
I have this breath, this heart of love.
I have this quiet, this light upon crystal and blue glass.
I have these trees, still in the sky of winter morning.
I have these sounds of animals and house-creaks, that enter the silence.
I have this home, this warmth, this kitchen filled with food.
I have miracles.
I have myself.

Bask in Sensual Pleasure

Let your life caress you with kisses:
The touch of a lover, a breeze in your hair,
Soft silk brushing bare nipples.
Sweet lips of love open to
Tingling pleasure slipping between soft thighs.
Taste your life with a succulent mouth:
Savor chocolate truffles, strawberries, tiramisu,
mocha lattes, brioche with lemon cream.
Revel in fragrance: violets in spring,
Bodies drenched with sun,
Little boys with earth-puppy smells,
Pikake and ginger blossoms, heady gardenias,
Pungent hot madias crushed by rain.
Feast on colors rich with light:
Velvet purple petunias,
Iridescent peach irises and hummingbirds,
Mountains sweeping to blue-violet skies,
Shimmering sapphire lakes and starlit nights.
Relish sounds: babies giggling, rhythm and blues,
I love you’s, hot words of passion, thunderstorms,
Wild drumming, coyotes howling.
Luxuriate in your days.
Make love with your life.

Poetry as a Lifeline in Difficult Times

The only thing that can save the world
is the reclaiming of the awareness of the world.
That is what poetry does.
~ Allen Ginsberg ~

    This is a year of hope and poetry can play a valuable part in making positive changes. We need to be vigilant in letting our egos step back and allow our hearts to lead us. We need to sink deeply into presence and grace to heal our pain, fear, and grief. Poetry can help us source our creativity, give voice to our broken hearts, then fill us with joy.
    Sometimes I don’t need to actually write or read poetry to feel grace. In the midst of a demanding day, I can remember the poetry of presence. I am in Phoenix to help my mom make necessary transitions as she ages and becomes less able to care for herself. It is a new and scary position as caretaker for her, and sadness bubbles to the surface. I express these feelings to my husband, have a cleansing cry, then do what needs to be done. Driving to do errands, I open to the blue Arizona skies, the loveliness of palm trees, saguaros, and flaming sunsets.
    I embrace the treasure of our love for each other and sharing this precious time together. My mom has become sweeter with age and is strongly connected to her inner child.  I told her that I always wanted a little girl, and she feels like my child in some ways. We went to Trader Joe's and had fun trying the raspberry stolen and coffee, looking at all the  treats we could buy. I am deeply thankful for the healing we have had in our relationship. I saw a license plate that read GR8FUL, reminding me that the world reflects our state of being.
    May you brush aside minor irritations, shower your loved ones with love, and cherish the time you have together.

Divine Mother

Divine Mother, hold me in caring arms.
I need to gaze into Your eyes,
Let my tears wash away all pain,
Find myself in Your love.
I long to drink in Your comfort
As you stroke my hair. Divine Mother,
A child in me is born anew whenever I change.
Help me nurture my children as you do me.
I gather my young ones close,
Welcome them with mother’s arms,
Fill them with praise and love.
Understanding how we learn,
I defend them against the shrew
Who lashes sharply for insignificant mistakes.
I am like a mother duck,
That feigns a broken wing to distract predators
from her fluffy babies bobbing on the water.
Our babies deserve no less.
What have you birthed that must be protected
And nourished to survive?
Guard your little ones     well.
To save the children of our world,
We must nurture our own.
Throw away thoughts of doubt and criticism.
Open Divine Mother’s cupboard
Which is full to bursting waiting
To shower you with delectable delights.
Love is the fiber of your being.
Feel love, know love,
Receive your Divine Mother.

Messages from Spirit

We all receive messages from the outer world, intuition, and dreams. Spirit tells us when we are on our true path or going astray, moving away from our higher purpose. It is helpful and fun to be aware of these communications.

Sarah Ban Breathnach in her book ‘Simple Abundance’ encourages us to be receptive and alert to these communications. She suggests, “For one week operate on the assumption that nothing that happens in your daily round is accidental.”

I find much comfort as I notice and interpret synchronistic or serendipitous events. Last week I heard a radio interview with Devatara J. Holman, Practitioner of Buddhist Medicine. She declared that intention is everything and can even override actions that aren't quite on the mark. I took that to heart and began setting my intentions. My heart guided me to a lecture by Ernest Chu, author of ‘Soul Currency. His amazing success story began with prayer and intention.

The next day my husband had an upset and I went for a walk, mentally saying a prayer for him and an intention for me. Then I saw a red plastic heart with a smiling face on the ground. Walking a little farther, I saw a glove on a fence post. Someone had tied the thumb and two outer fingers, so the forefinger and middle finger were up in the sign for peace. The little heart seemed to say that the universe heard me and supports us with unconditional love. The ‘peace glove’ reminded me to be at peace during this time of transition to more conscious creation. It is encouraging to receive positive reassurance on my path, my literal path this time.

That night I dreamed that I drove through a tunnel and saw a skeleton holding a suitcase on the front porch of a house. My intuition interpreted the dream as needing to let go of excess baggage and get to essentials. (Maybe “get down to the bone.”) So I intuited what is essential to me, qualities that are authentic, like experiencing the abundance, pleasure, and joy of the moment through my senses, sensuality.

My heart guided me to the book “A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life Purpose” by Eckhart Tolle. I have been reading it to John after we eat. The concepts of wakening in consciousness are powerful and are helping us make dramatic awareness shifts that bring us out of suffering into the grace of being. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it yet.

Be

Stop a moment.
Look at surroundings.
Soften your eyes to observe light and dark;
sunspots and tree shadows on the floor,
white lace curtains lifting with breeze.
Listen to prosaic sounds;
husband munching cereal,
the creak of our chairs,
a ticking clock, bird chirps.
Find the divine pulse that beats in all.
Feel your breath move in and out.
Touch your face, arms, and legs.
Note muscle and bone.
Smell the fragrance of your skin, a flower.
Perceive the miracle of your aliveness.
Open to being.

Nourish Joy and Healing

    Our women’s retreat, Nourish was an absolute joy! Words cannot describe the sense of belonging, love, deep transformation, fun, and celebration I experienced with the group of women/Goddesses.
    My module, Tapping into Your Muse was the first event on Friday morning, and I went into it with a commitment to share my best with the group. I felt some trepidation, wanting to have all my ducks in a row. The women responded beautifully to the exercises (see my previous post) and several of us were moved to tears as we opened to our Divine Mother muse and our inner child muse through an automatic writing exercise and a divining poetry experience. Several women commented on the powerful opening and healing they had. One woman said she had been waiting for years to write about her mother’s death and finally gave the healing time to herself that day in class.
    It was such a joy to have my work, my poetry, myself embraced so deeply that when I returned home on Sunday, my heart opened to tsunami waves of love in a powerful, physical way. I had to keep taking deep breaths to allow the love to move through and I showered my husband and everyone I thought of with this beautiful love. The next day my face was swollen and covered with a dry rash that burned so intensely that I held ice to it for two days. My lower back and sacrum hurt, and I did not feel well for a week. My skin is still recovering.
    My intuition said that I was releasing the pain of past feelings of rejection. I asked why my face was affected and learned I was needing to “face” powerful emotions, such as anger. My back was letting go of trauma and pain around sexuality, since I was healing fear of intimacy.
    Now that I’m feeling better, I notice a stronger readiness to let go of feelings of rejection and sink into the ever present joy of each moment. I’m more aware of when I am projecting fears of hostility on others.
    A heartfelt appreciation goes to Cathleen Springer for listening to and following her guidance to create Nourish, to Cathleen, Karen Cappa, Diane Haris, and Heidi Noh-Kuhn for their relentless perseverance in preparing for Nourish, to the gorgeous, loving women who attended, and to my inner guidance for supporting me through the challenges and healings.

Arms of the Goddess

Alone, I ready to step into an unknown,
more authentic expression of my self.
The energy of change moves through my body
like a frozen river beginning to flow,
then cascades over boulders of limitation,
rushes to my goals with abandon.
Many years and lifetimes
of ancestral resistance
I have prayed for this thaw,
but its power brings a thrill of excitement,
which becomes fear.
I hesitate, one foot poised in midair.
A Goddess reaches out to me,
then another and another,
and we find a bridge
left by ancient Goddesses.
Though frayed and worn,
the span still glows with life force,
seen dimly through mists of time.
Together we see our promise grow brighter.
Arm in arm we walk
across the chasm of transformation
and celebrate our glorious Goddess selves.
We shed drab garments of doubt and fear
that had been hiding in our closets,
array ourselves in loveliness
which reveals our luscious divinity.
Dancing in our truth
we reclaim power and sisterhood.
Alone no more, I am held
in the arms of the Goddess
as I stride into passionate sharing of self,
stand in the light of my true being,
the Goddess of my soul.

"My experience with a Sher Christian Workshop was surprising and insightful. We were led into the inner landscapes of ourselves with care and were helped to excavate our own yearnings and beliefs. The benefit of breaking into small groups and sharing brought us closer together and allowed our revelations to feel safe. All this was aided by Sher's choice of poems to share. I would do this again & would hope we could spend a longer time in this 'courting of the muse'." Diane Haris,

Nourishment and Tapping into Your Muse

    Nourish, our women’s retreat begins Thursday. I am one of the leaders and I will present a module on tapping into your muse. Our muse is vital to our creativity which is as necessary as food in nourishing the body and soul of individuals and the community. There is something unique which can be shared only by you. When that is blocked or ignored, we can feel anxious or beside ourselves. Unexpressed it is lost for all time. On some level we know when we are not living our truth. The body knows and tells us through discomfort, pain, hot flashes, insomnia, and so on. (P.S. There is one space left at Nourish for a fortunate woman. Call Karen Cappa at 707 665-0809 to register.)
    Women at Nourish will participate in a writing exercise to connect with their Divine Mother muse to discover what is needed for nourishment. In her book, Medicine for the Earth, Sandra Ingerman tells us when two or more are gathered, spirits create a divine child (or healing) and that we must receive love, divine light before we can heal with it. Sandra shares that the current societal imbalance of over giving coupled with the inability to receive is literally killing us. Profiles of cancer patients reveal they tend to give too much of themselves and don’t know how to receive love and nurturance.
    Part of the challenge is that we often work from a place of want or scarcity and drive ourselves to burnout and overwhelm by trying to play too many roles. When we take time to connect with our muse, we become aware of our authentic or essential roles and stay on purpose. We live and act from truth, grace, and joy. We are present to life’s pleasures and actually receive our blessings rather than focus continually on what is absent. We give and receive, like breath. We know what would happen if we only breathed out. Sometimes I catch myself with velcro on my forehead and wrist playing the victim when I’m the one victimizing myself. 
    Where is that muse when we need her? Besides writing there are many ways we can tap into her. There’s meditation, prayer, music, dreams, messages in the outer world, divining cards, and more.  Cheryl Richardson, personal coach and writer reminds us on one of her divining Grace cards, “Practice good soul care. The quality of our outer life is always dependent on the quality of care we give to our soul.” Thomas Moore writes “Let us imagine care of the soul as an application of poetics to everyday life.”
    My book Star Kissed Shadows is a divining tool and can be opened at random with a question in mind for insights.  Nourish attendees are going to do an exercise in which we connect with our inner child muse.  She represents our purest intention, our innocence, wonder, playfulness, and excitement about life. She is especially helpful when we feel a need to control everything to find fulfillment. Each person will take a turn opening my book with the question, “How can I best nourish my little girl muse?”  Star Kissed Shadows is available for purchase on this site. Go to the store. Our CD Sweet Tongue, Assorted Poetry & Music is also available and if you purchase both, you receive a complimentary fifteen minute intuitive phone consultation. May you have a long, satisfying relationship with your muse.

Alphabet Soup

My intuitive whiskers sense ideas
in the soft air of morning.
I sigh as feathery breezes skim over me.
Words slip on buttery sun
through an open kitchen window
into the empty bowl I’ve placed
for my muse to fill.
I lap up letter cream with a felicitous tongue.
L’s and m’s loll and hum between my lips.
Piquant p’s tantalize taste buds.
R’s roll on my palette, stop against artful t’s.
Juicy n’s slide down my moist throat.
Satiated, I purr, curl up in the lap of God.

Summer Heads South

    Another summer ends as autumn begins today. The leaves remind us that fall is about letting go of that which no longer serves us. In a guided meditation as part of a ritual yesterday, I discovered I’m ready to let go of rejecting myself, feeling inadequate for success, and my attachment to results from my efforts.
    John and I are available to create and record personal guided visualizations with music for life’s passages and to help you attain your goals. E-mail for information: poetrysher@gmail.com.
    I encourage you to use the energy of seasonal change to create your own ritual of letting go.  Then you can more easily embrace that which is manifesting in your life as we enter this time of harvest, the beauty of soft light and golden colors. In honor of autumn, I release summer.

Summer Heads South

Feeling like a clock wound tightly,
I stop to unwind.
Shoulder and belly muscles relax
as I respond to the spiraling down
of letting go.
Mind slows to drink in the moment.
The after buzz of being on the run
competes with refrigerator hum.
Hummingbird chatter and tree’s graceful sway
remind me to surrender like butter to sun,
as August slips into September.
Grasses dried by blazing heat
Roll under wind’s fondling touch.
Brittle leaves tumble and crackle
along the dirt driveway.
A gust works hard at clothes on the line,
making shirts flap as if waving goodbye
to summer’s warmth.
Leaves fall into fields of golden flowers,
like fall coming down too soon,
always too soon,
no matter how I long
for cool reprieve from sweltering days.
Summer is almost gone
and my heart aches at the loss
of silky water swims, warm sand on bare legs,
bouncing inner tubes
and balmy cricket nights,
sleeping under the stars
and picnics by the creek.
I say goodbye as summer packs her bags
and heads south.
“Don’t forget the mosquitoes
and meat bees,” I call after her,
then add, “I’ll look for you in June!”
She turns and holds up a satchel
filled with swarming bugs.
I smile at that, but then she breaks my heart
with the warmth of her sunny eyes.
I linger to watch her go
before I attend to the chore
of closing out autumn’s chill.

Your Life

The character, Esther Huish, in the book, “The Locket”, by Richard Paul Evans, writes in her diary, “I have wondered if I am trying to force a life. While the life I lead may not match the picture in my head, perhaps the one offered me is just as full of joys, its pigments just as bright, just not what I expected.”

In another entry, Esther shares, “If the errors of my life have profited me one great truth, it is this: believe. Believe in your destiny and the star from which it shines. Believe you have been sent from God as an arrow pulled from His own bow...Believe as if your life depended on it, for indeed it does.”

Guess

How would life be if we embrace each moment
as if it were a long-lost love, home at last?
How would our lives be different
if we caress each hour with soft love,
welcome each day as a treasured friend,
never to be seen again?
What would our feelings do
if we kiss them like babies,
loved no matter if laughing or crying?
What would we think of ourselves
if we whisper sweet words of encouragement,
wrap ourselves in silky-soft affection,
even in the midst of disappointment?
How would our loved ones feel
if we cherish them with gentle compassion
in their sadness and anger?
How would we appear to others
if we see our inner beauty
when we look in the mirror?
What kind of world would we live in
if we see only God, choose only love,
laugh at seriousness,
know that life is a game
we’re guaranteed to win?
Guess.

May you follow the star of your destiny and find much to love in your life as it is now. Sher
