Thoughts from Toronto

Greeting from Michigan! It's a good story how I ended up here, just like everything is when you're "riding the wave of freedom" (as a long-haired vagabond once told me.) But before I get into that, I found something I wrote in Toronto a couple months ago. I was in Toronto for a month, a beautiful month that deserves many blog posts. I wrote this in the warmth of a coffee shop one day in February...

Just walking down yong street in Toronto to see someone I love. Many people walk on this street, and as I walk, I look at everyone that passes me, I begin to realize that I can understand each one in just a few moments, by understand, I also mean there is nothing that would get in the way of how deeply I love them. I look at the world around me, we all share this place and this moment, and it is so beautiful, just to be. As the energy in me dances I notice that it is reflecting back to me in those whose eyes catch mine, more and more I see smiles, alive eyes, and happiness. Like a fountain I bubble, just at that moment I think to myself, "I'm just..." And before I could finish the thought my eyes read the name of the shop I was passing, "walking on the clouds." I laughed, and said back to the universe, "I couldn't have said it better myself."

I don't understand why we compartmentalize our love for the people we already know who are waiting for us somewhere. Then, on the way to that place we shut down the eyes of our soul. We all know what warmth is behind the walls of places we know. But outside those walls, it's usually a different story. Why are there walls? Love is all around us and what a beautiful thing it is to pass it to everyone who crosses your path.

I think there is a world of energy deeper than what we call reality based on our senses. I think this is the truth, I think this is love, and I think this is where we are headed.

I don't seek money, I don't seek security, I don't seek attention, I seek becoming aware of and aligning with the energy that is already one, and is beyond what we have been taught reality is, true connection, boundrylessness, love.

Every moment of connection is a portal to another world. Every person sees the world differently, feels different things. I desire to see the world through the eyes around me. I think when two people see through the same eyes, they become one and "eyes" disappear. When I see through someone else's eyes that becomes part of my world, when all eyes become apart of your world, there is no longer a me.
