Somewhere Between Your Heart and the Earth

I love this life so much. Most days I consider my life as some type of classical love song with gospel verses deeply rooted in highly mineralized red clay soil. I love being temporarily suspended in this mysterious space—alive, loving, vulnerable, evolving. I adore and celebrate it all, even the parts I don’t understand or even those parts that challenge me to bend and move or surrender and embrace. I honor what I have created, as I understand all of it is a reflection of me: where I was or where I am in this moment. But just for the record, if anything ever happens to me, if I suddenly leave this realm of consciousness, please don’t feel sadness. If you do feel sadness, allow it to pass as soon as you can, and seed into a place of joy, wonder, and gratitude. Where ever I go, I promise I’ll continue to flower for you. I only ask of you, where ever you are, to roll over or lie down, put on Cassandra Wilson’s “Sing Standards,” and make passionate love in whatever way feels magnetizing to you and have a heart chakra orgasm. Or consider furiously dancing on the earth and allowing your heart of many chambers to expand into the fullness of the experience. Or perhaps, talk to a wildflower, sit underneath a tree, or make red-clay mudpies. You have a choice, always. I promise I’ll meet you there, somewhere between your heart and the Earth. This will be our safe space. -Anja Mhusurat Olowokande-Ame’ye
“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? ….And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.”- Khalil Gibran
“Learning to love yourself….is the greatest love of all.” Now go love somebody else. Fiercely!
