can you hear me now?

too good to be true.

too scared to believe.

no winning.

no losing.

silent scream.

sad smile.

gratitude in disappointments.

now, let go...

now, peace.

compassion, love.
the same thing.

attention, love.
the same thing.

care, love.
the same thing.

peace.

non-attachment

grateful for everything that showed up in my life today
even just for today.

if tomorrow i see them not, i will be alright.
i will rejoice and forever be grateful for the today i have.

i can do this.

sometimes, some good soul come along, and you feel like you've known them forever; like you're already great friends before you met.
the conversations feel like plain catching up...no judgment, just the simple intention of knowing each other's situation, offering comfort, support, understanding and often times comic relief.

no need to impress, not even words...
just the felt presence of somebody who truly cares.

just like the movies...

hope springs eternal.

loving kindness...

may this be the theme of my day,

even just for today.

namaste.

...crazy how you catch yourself ridiculously uninhibited,
spewing unguarded thoughts, unfiltered emotions
-- just a tad bit too late.


i guess souls can get weary and tired too.


my apologies...

"do you have the time to listen to me whine,
about everything and nothing, all at once.
i am one of those melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bones, no doubt about it."
green day, basketcase

sometimes it takes a greater kind of love
to practice prudence when faced with sumptuous,
irresistible choices.

grateful for the invite.

A friend is someone who you can go to walmart with at 12midnight, in a beautiful cold november night, with an enchanting half moon hanging from the clear skies...to buy a much needed toilet seat.

Grateful for my friends, I love them all.

life can only be lived one glorious breath at a time.

so...breathe, cristina.

life's been great.

i couldn't ask for more.

blessings keep pouring in

beautiful, amazing people keep showing up

each with their gift,

each with their lessons.

i couldn't ask for more.

(brain cell)

How do cells know how to divide, replicate and specialize?
How do cells know which ones get to be the heart?
the pinky toe?
the brain?

Cells don't (seem to) think, they just do.

Why am I thinking about Cells?

What Cells make me think?

Why do I think?

Are Feelings Quantifiable?

what is the size of your mind?

is it as big as your brain?
your body?
the room that you're in?
the building?

the universe, perhaps?

where are it's limits? boundaries?
where does it begin? where does it end?
