My Morning Ritual for renewal

I wake at 04:30, lying still for 10 minute gently emerging from sleep, affirming my morning with quiet intention.  

I rise, light the incense, and step into the shower, where water aligns my body, mind, and soul.  

Gratitude flows as I repeat thanks for life itself, for the gift of another dawn.  

Only then do I step outside to feed the birds, amplifying my prayer and centering my spirit for 10-15 minutes.

 I stretch my body and work out to strengthen my physique, clearing space for what lies ahead

I am profoundly thankful to have sustained this ritual for years.

Between Us

 Soft words

 Deep vows

 A knot tied in the dark

 The map pulled us thin 

But I still feel your weight 

In the empty space.

Realign Within: A Breath at the Crossroads

 There come times in life when we simply move on,

continuing to do what we must.

We live to ensure responsibilities are met,
matters addressed.
Yet we forget to take a breath—
that breath that makes us stop
and realise we need time for ourselves.

The self that does all that is required,
that functions in multidimensional ways,
that has the spine to keep going.

There come times in life when we simply move on,
continuing to do what we must—
that moment when your heart takes a beat,
that beat reminding you that you are human.

The human who must engage within,
as the pulse affirms you're alive.
The human who forgot to take time
to fill the-self.
The human who finds themselves at a crossroads.

That crossroads signals all directions,
Yet you must realign within yourself.
Put yourself first—
first in a way that keeps you human,
That lets you remain you.

For in that everlasting love,
Your lived reality of connection thrives.

Your Gaze

 Though shadows pull me back from sight,

I shy from your gaze, unspoken, tender. Yet within my guarded heart ignites Our love—eternal flame, fierce splendour. I cradle it close, this aching fire, Through endless night, my soul's true vow. With quiet grace, I rise ever higher, Preserving our bond... onward now.

The Mind, the Heart, and Reality

The mind, the heart, and reality each carry their own process—

a sequence streaming through life, yet all encompassed by one soul.

A soul dear and committed to life,

Yet life provides what one shapes.

 

The mind, the heart, and reality each carry their own process—

a process that bonds one soul within another.

The sharings that shape emotion and connection—

the connection that makes love real and gentle.

The gentleness that instils safety and amplifies vulnerability—

The vulnerability that makes one's heart linger in faith and hope.

 

Hope that grows one's projection: life will be better,

free from uncomfortable energies and realities that do not fulfil the soul.

 

The mind, the heart, and reality each carry their own process—

a process that the heart defeats reality.

Reality swings one way while the heart desires the other—

Oh, yet the heart desires both.

 

Why does reality expect one to choose, if life could allow both to love?

Why does reality judge one's preference and acknowledgement

of what the heart and mind choose to connect with and desire?

 

The mind, the heart, and reality each carry their own process.

 

Reality has made it so difficult to want and need

The fulfilment of not having to choose.

My heart knows its worth and the love it carries.

My mind is sober in its actions and affirmations.

And my reality is not fixed—as only I know my truth.

My 7-Day Sacred Fast

6am to 7pm daily—no food, just divine fire fueling my soul.

4 fierce sets of prayer, anchoring me each day.

My raw journey of soul-deep introspection, owning every scar and victory, embracing full responsibility, and overflowing gratitude for this wild, blessed life. 

Laser-focused. Affirming my unshakeable truths.Thank You, Lord, for the iron strength that held me through this brutal grind—it was no walk in the park, but You made me unbreakable.

Profound thanks to my ancestors—Baumann, Egunda, Asser, Markus bloodlines—your whispers powered my steps.

I am grateful. I receive it all. I embrace every piece. I own it completely.
