- Underwater
  
  Posted at 12:17 am by Lisa K, on May 3, 2021
  Calm and quite under the sea
  
  where it’s so dark and cold around me
  
  I hold my breath and look to the surface
  
  there is a soft light shining down with purpose.
  
  The storm has receded and it’s time to regroup
  
  all ready to deal with what I must recoup
  
  swimming up it seems so far away
  
  my arms feel like they are papier-mâché.
  
  It must be close because the water is warm
  
  the surface is sparkling like a perfect art form
  
  the light, it draws me up and it feels so right
  
  not like the depths below that are as cold as night.
  
  I wave goodbye to the silence of the sea
  
  because under the water is no place for me
  
  my heart wants to cry and dance and sing
  
  it wants to be a part of everything.

- Lately
  
  Posted at 12:37 pm by Lisa K, on February 8, 2021
  Lately the isolation and smallness my world has been feeling as a result of our current situation in this pandemic has been constantly on my mind.
  I think about the businesses suffering, the last time I went out to a store. The ways which people are coping with how their lives have been impacted, with feelings of powerlessness driving us each to find meaning. The sense of loss physically and mentally. It is painful. It hurts.
  Then on our walks outside, I look around and wonder what it all means. Honestly, I dislike winter, the cold and darkness that comes with the season. But right now, it makes me feel alive. Walking outdoors reminds me of some important anchors of life.
  The earth is resilient. A quality we all need to tap into before things get too much.
  Each day, looking out at the beautiful way the sun chooses to come up, I feel that familiar admiration for the enduring nature and steadiness of our earth.
  Regardless of the turmoil that may be happening, the sun rises and sets with magnificence, the seasons change and life rises and falls. Like a heartbeat, a rhythm for us to grasp onto, bringing the swirling impermanence of now back into some form of perspective. It grounds my thoughts for a short while and brings much needed peace to my mind.
  While it isn’t the answer to all the problems of the world, it brings hope, strength and perspective back to ground me and help me make space to plan and strategize how to move forward within.
  It’s a time to become inventive. A place to work out new ways to navigate and build on that fundamental quality that we as humans are innately capable- resilience.
  
  I do have more to say about this, maybe soon. For now, go for a walk today, get outside for just a little bit. It could be good for you.

- The Voice
  
  Posted at 8:13 pm by Lisa K, on December 13, 2020
  that little voice inside of you
  
  that no one else can here
  
  it whispers to you all day long
  
  it’s loving and sincere
  
  that voice it knows
  
  what’s right for you
  
  when you should say no
  
  when it’s time to let things go
  
  or how to follow through
  
  no one else can tell you
  
  or inspire that feeling inside
  
  that inner voice within your heart
  
  trust it to always be your guide

- sometimes I wonder…
  
  Posted at 12:38 am by Lisa K, on December 10, 2020
  sometimes I wonder…
  why must the heart feel such anguish?
  why is there suffering and pain?
  what is it that this life for?
  what are we here to attain?
  .
  what would empathy be without sadness?
  how would we feel compassion without knowing hurt?
  .
  sometimes I wonder…
  why can my heart feel so full of joy?
  why does love drive so deep there are no words?
  why do we experience such emotions?
  what are we to learn from the unspoken?
  .
  what is hope if we don’t know love?
  how can there be kindness without knowing sympathy?
  .
  sometimes I wonder…

- Vishuddha💫
  
  Posted at 4:56 pm by Lisa K, on August 13, 2020
  her throat felt swollen
  
  tight with a lump
  
  things that she felt
  
  just wouldn’t come out
  
  she tucked it away and ignored it
  
  but the feelings continued to stew
  
  if she left it for too long
  
  worse things would start to brew
  
  a vice grip on her emotions
  
  she tried to forget them and go on
  
  further away she pushed herself
  
  until she was withdrawn
  
  it spread into her psyche
  
  her worth was marred in doubt
  
  she told herself stories
  
  there seemed to be no way out
  
  when it got too much
  
  she’d fix enough to get her through
  
  but soon that wasn’t good enough
  
  there was more work she had to do
  
  slowly she worked and soon
  
  it was clear what had to be done
  
  she had to find her courage
  
  not continue to try and run
  
  she searched for her courage
  
  her thoughts began to change
  
  she dug deep down to find it
  
  things no longer felt so strange
  
  that familiar feeling of knowing
  
  expressing herself without fear
  
  once again found its rightful place
  
  and all the worry could disappear

- The Meaning of Love♥️
  
  Posted at 8:50 pm by Lisa K, on August 2, 2020
  What does it mean to be ‘in love’?
  
  Is it when two people give love to each other without expectation? Or does it mean to give it with the assumption of love in return?
  It sounds difficult to give something so intensely without reciprocation. But when we give of ourselves this way, it can lead to disappointment.
  If love is to be meant to be given without expectation,
  it seems that despite its strength, love exists with fragility. One that requires continual nurturing to maintain balance and strength.
  .
  When I think about giving love
  I want to be…
  giving of my heart, to listen,
  to be thoughtful, supportive, kind, to appreciate, admire, respect and most importantly to be able to see underneath it all, the beauty of the person within.
  When we give this gift to each other,
  it creates the most beautiful bond where
  unconditional love will flourish.
  It will go on and continue to
  gain strength because it is given independently,
  and is continually nurtured by the two
  people who wish for it to last.
  Love is freely met by Love♥️
  
  What do you think about that?

- Hope is a light✨
  
  Posted at 11:25 pm by Lisa K, on May 1, 2020
  Hope is a light that shines from within
  
  It keeps me going when strife creeps in
  
  When I feel uneasy or anxiety comes up
  
  It’s what I cling to when feelings run amuck
  
  The frayed edges of doubt make me insecure
  
  my mind is spinning and I feel unsure
  
  I breathe in deeply and focus inside
  
  soon hope will find me and be my guide
  
  An ocean of currents brings unknowns
  
  the sea in my mind is in a cyclone
  
  anchoring down I plead for some peace
  
  just then my light ignites and a great hope is released

- The Umbrella
  
  Posted at 10:58 pm by Lisa K, on December 27, 2019
  I looked at the window
  
  It was blurred by the rain
  
  It was unrelenting and loud
  
  As it whipped up on the pane
  
  I stood there and stared
  
  The moment was long
  
  Like a slow motion movie
  
  I felt something was wrong
  
  You were standing alone
  
  Under your umbrella out there
  
  It was strange to see you
  
  The wind was blowing your hair
  
  I ran out to stand with you
  
  So you wouldn’t be alone
  
  Storms come and they go
  
  What they bring is unknown
  
  We’ll weather that storm
  
  Strong together us two
  
  No matter what happens
  
  I will be there for you.

- Jaded Faith✨
  
  Posted at 4:22 pm by Lisa K, on December 1, 2019
  Looking desperately for something
  
  Imagine what could it be?
  
  Just a place to feel loved
  
  Where there is not any fee
  
  .
  
  Where appearances are nothing
  
  But the look in your eye
  
  That alluring beauty within
  
  Far too bright to deny
  
  .
  
  Things that look perfect
  
  Are not what they seem
  
  If you aren’t careful
  
  Harsh judgments will stream
  
  .
  
  Everyone has shadows
  
  A darkness they keep
  
  And those stares of disapproval
  
  Gouge down far too deep
  
  .
  
  Faith in true goodness
  
  It’s been lost for some time
  
  Everyone is looking
  
  So they can’t be taken while blind
  
  .
  
  But when it’s real it’s ignored
  
  Like it can’t possibly persist
  
  Nothing seems to be trusted
  
  How can we all exist?
  
  .
  
  Give faith to that feeling
  
  You know it inside
  
  Your gut isn’t lying
  
  Don’t enable fear to decide
  
  .
  
  It’s real, feel it,
  
  it wants you to see
  
  That if you will receive it
  
  Forever true it will be
