two countries of same colors
split
and over years
the burden of sketched borders
fenced wires
torn jannat

Poetry: Proof by Vaishali Paliwal
New moon practice
0 percent illumination and time to meditate under the dark night skies, on what is unseen, that has not surfaced to our awareness yet, that lies in the deepest layers of this ocean. To mediate with this unknown, to surrender to this unrevealed territory with a silent mind, dive in this ‘mysterious’ while holding on to nothing, this is my new moon practice. 🙏💓
timeless verse
my desert beauty
whispers a timeless poem
one that i write now

June roses 🌹
“It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”
Maud Hart Lovelace
Welcoming June 💓
Waning crescent moon 10% illumination.
Lot of shadow work this quarter , lot of past hurtful cycles resurfacing, and finding myself to be back there again even more challenging since you think you have made some progress but what’s not healed is not healed, and it resurfaces and all the soul work you have done seems to have not worked but it’s a continuous process to work on. All the pain always leads to something transformational and revolutionary. Started my day with a Goddess saying go create some gold so I had a sacred mission for this day :).
Setting up my intentions for June not with things to do, but with how I want to feel. I want to focus on these feelings that I want to co-create with my current environment and my community. To feel belonged, to feel loved , to feel one , to feel happy, to be helpful, to be creative, to feel healthy. Journaled in this lovely space today with a tiny flower, many little bugs and moths stopping by with message of cohabitation . We are welcoming June blooms here together. A very happy and lovely and prosperous and peaceful month of June dear ones 💓💓💓
Magnolia
she sleeps now
flower of Venus
the most delicate
the most gentle
beauty of yin
purest of all
she sleeps now
and even the stars wish
their night had disappeared
so she wakes up
and life everywhere
breathes again
soft.

Chilao camping
We have always been so lucky with our campsites. Even during memorial weekend and in spite of reaching late afternoon, we managed to get this beautiful site in Chilao campground of Los Angeles National forest. This picture is taken from day 2 of our camping when clouds had completely taken over the skies, and then suddenly out of nowhere sun pierced through the grey clouds, with sunlight slowly goldening the entire landscape. Mood of the evening changed from a bit of dull rhythm to a new, spectacular and revived scene in no time. Such is nature ❤️
Mother
Look at Mother,
an infinite and mystical ocean
of all things of beauty and bliss
perfectly aligned,
growing and functioning
in complete harmony with each other,
without any noise, without any chaos,
so quietly, so magnificently
with utmost grace
with utmost divinity,
each of her branches
each of her wild flowers
birthing in her
prospering in her
and eventually merging in her-
one perfected meditation
one sacred flow
the purest union,
she is Mother
she is naturally breathing in me
I am naturally her.

Always my name
protectors of the forest invite me
from the gates
built of billion year old rocks
with layers of time
we cannot imagine or write of
but with skins I have touched before,
and the shell sounds echo across
this land of mystical pines
always my name

Pure Yuccas on my trails
During our camping trip this weekend, as soon as we entered deeper end of Los Angeles national forest, we saw Yucca blooms everywhere scattered so beautifully it seemed like someone has painted the white petals over the desert mountains.
I stopped by many times to soak in their perfect glimpse but this particular trail was exceptionally divine loaded with the Yuccas growing abundantly on the desert soil.
There was so much roughness in the terrain where I stood under one of the Yuccas, yet their majestic flowers growing tall towards the sun, softened everything instantly. In that tough earth of mostly rocks, they are managing to keep their beauty and strength . Known for transmutation, protection and purification symbolically, I can vouch for each of these things I felt in their presence❤️.
