“Ode to Black Dog.” RIP

Put that black Dog to rest, he’s never been your friend, just a mangy deadly pest. There’s a pain in your brain that’s slowly driving you insane. It’s the thoughts that you repeatedly think, that push you to the brink.

On the cliff of an abyss so deep, dark and black. Where you feel it’s ‘too late’ and you can never go back. Alone you fret on this bleeding edge. Clinging to life on that wafer thin ledge.

That glimmer of life is all you hold dear, I pray that you hear those voices of hope that whisper ever so near. LOOK UP, is the mantra, a God given call, to raise your eyes and mind and ascend from the fall.

With new wings of desire, wanting awakens your heart. No matter where you’ve been, there’s always a fresh start. NOW is the first step for you to take flight.

No more crawling on the ground and suffering out of sight. It’s up to you to Arise, renewed with might, having overcome the dark thoughts of the longest, loneliest night.

Known as the Black Dog within the Blue Line.

It’s a fight for life that’s as old as all time. The Ace up your sleeve is don’t look back with regret. Your sweetest medicine is simply to FORGET. Hold fast to what’s light- hold on tight! Keep those better feeling thoughts always within sight.

Give up that battle of should, could, wrong, right. It’s what got you in that plight – the ‘right fight’. Blame, pain, complain is a vicious cyclic game, with no winners, no King’s or Queens ever to hold reign.

Release the crown of thorns, no more beating up on you. It’s time to let it all go and discover what is true. You are not alone. Fret and stress can turn your heart to stone. Raise your eyes and be grateful that you now SEE. It’s the shift in the interim that can finally set you free.

FEEL your way. It’s a whole new day. Take it easy on yourself, it’s gonna be OK. It’s called the dark night of the soul as you break free of false illusions, that 5 senses deliver as delusions, those self constructed limits can finally break their hold. You can now move forward as you shift your mind from Old to Gold.

Carpe Diem- Seize the day!

It’s yours for the taking. It was never any other way. Lighten up, love, play. One thought at a time is how you steer to stay. Everything you want is up. So no more looking down. The ground will always be there, it’s the skies that add the sparkle And reminds us of our unknown unlimited ness here and now.

Nothing to prove, no need to be tough. Most precious, you are always enough. Remember you are light, you are love, you are life… You are unbelievable stuff!
