i like middle names—the secret name.
it's one of the very first things that i want to know about a person.

@shepherdmoon53 thanks.:)

[carrie ciula @carrieciula]

however, wherever, whenever,
with whomever you celebrate,
i hope love and warmth find you.

[carrie ciula @carrieciula]

...the breeze, the warmth, the smell of dirt and plants, the sights and sounds of insects and other creatures, the immersion in slow, steady rhythms and cycles...
they all carry me back to the truth of who i am.

everything else drops away
and the only thing i know
is that all of the parts of my being
are being gathered.
no longer two or more.
no longer many.
just one.
one and whole.

whenever i witness myself or others being guided by fluent tides of passion, i’m reminded that magic often reveals itself through anything that catches our attention...excitement is a road sign that clearly reads, “this way. this way!”
