A blog has been present
Since the poems began
The words started playing on a page
And then appeared in a blog
It's been like a process
No doubt about that
Follow the Heart, Sigue el Coraz贸n
Was the name of the first blog
Named because of the first poem
In English & Spanish the Words appeared
I'll find the poem
And post it here at the end
Fun!
Other names appeared too
Living the Creative Force You Are
An experiment again
Playing and Seeing
And now
It's come to an end
To let a beginning
Flow in freedom
To let the Alchemy
Soar in Rainbow Flowers
With one mission
One intention:
May the Words Here
Celebrate the Presence
We Are
Taking you on an Inner Journey
And so
The Word Made Alquimia
Comes to life
As I say Goodbye to
Follow the Heart, Sigue el Coraz贸n
Honour & Love
Happy & Content
Grateful!!
Thank you!
Love

Here is the poem Following the Heart in English and Spanish,
published on January 16th 2009.
There are many other poems from the original blog
that I may share again some day.
We'll see. Much Love.
Following
the Heart
Sometimes
have to say NO
The tummy
feels sick
Such is the
power of having to say NO
What does
this mean?
NO: This
will not please "the other"
NO: I will
not be loved
NO: I am an
unhelpful, non-loving person
In a
phrase: A Bad Girl
The Good
Girl Syndrome
Oh, YES!
Very, very powerful!
"Be a
good girl..."
Lots of
rewards: "You're such a good girl!"
Pats on the
head & smiles & hugs
What a
message! YES, YES, I want to be good!
YES: This
pleases "the other"
YES: I will
be loved
YES: I am a
helpful, loving person
In a
phrase: A Good Girl
BUT this is
deceptive, you find out!
This
doesn't always work out
"The
other" knows you're a good girl
You get
manipulated. And you realise!
You
realise: "I'm stupid!"
Next
lesson: "I'm not going to be good!"
Being good
equals being a fool
I'm going
to say NO
NO: I don't
care if you're pleased or not
NO: Who
needs love?!
NO: I want
to be unhelpful & non-loving to PROTECT myself!
In a
phrase: A Bad Girl
Phew! What
a life!
Lots of
lessons
But am I
happy with this realisation?
To protect
myself from "the other", be unhelpful
"NOOOOO!
Boo! Hoo!" The Love cries!!!
My heart is
broken
Everything
is grey!
Life can't
be this fear!
HELP!!!
And one day
you hear "Follow your heart"
And you
hear "Be yourself"
Many other
sacred words and pointers
"Follow
your heart!"
Someone
tells you "There are 'high-quality NOS"
High-quality
NO?
YES!!!
New lessons
appear
You begin
to follow your heart
"The
other" is seen to be part of your heart
Not someone
who wants something from you
You see the
Truth!
And then:
The Truth can be spoken
It can be,
"YES", "NO", "I DON'T KNOW"
All from
the Heart!
YES, you
have to be brave
OH YES!
And the
sickly feeling in the tummy
YES, it
might appear now and then
YES, it's
been a deep-seated habit!
(Perhaps
it's not really 'sickly' after all!)
Tell the
Truth! Follow the Heart!
Sometimes
it's a NO, but it's a loving NO!
And a
loving NO is a YES!
A YES TO
THE HEART!!
Siguiendo el Coraz贸n
A veces hay
que decir que NO
La barriga
siente angustia
Tal es el
poder de tener que decir que NO
¿Qu茅
significa esto?
NO: Esto no
complacer谩 al “otro”
NO: No ser茅
amado
NO: No soy
una persona amable ni cari帽osa
En una
frase: Una Ni帽a Mala
El S铆ndrome
de la Ni帽a Buena
¡Oh, S脥!
¡Muy, muy poderoso!
"S茅
una ni帽a buena..."
Muchas
recompensas: "¡Eres una ni帽a tan buena!"
Caricias en
la cabeza & sonrisas & abrazos
¡Qu茅
mensaje! S脥, S脥, ¡Quiero ser buena!
S脥: Esto
complace al “otro”
S脥: Ser茅
amada
S脥: Soy
una persona amable y cari帽osa
En una
frase: Una Ni帽a Buena
PERO esto
es enga帽oso, ¡es lo que averiguas!
Esto no
siempre funciona
"El
otro" sabe que eres una ni帽a buena
Te
manipulan. ¡Y te das cuenta!
Te das
cuenta: "¡Soy tonta!"
Siguiente
lecci贸n: "¡No voy a ser buena!"
Ser buena
es igual a ser tonta
Voy a decir
que NO
NO: Me da
igual que est茅s complacido o no
NO: ¡¿Qui茅n
necesita el amor?!
NO: No
quiero ser ni amable ni cari帽osa para ¡PROTEGERME!
En una
frase: Una Ni帽a Mala
¡Uf! ¡Qu茅
vida!
Muchas
lecciones
¿Pero soy
feliz con esta comprensi贸n?
Protegerme
del “otro”, no ser amable
"¡NOOOOO!
¡Buaaa!"
¡¡¡El Amor grita!!!
Mi coraz贸n
est谩 roto
¡Todo est谩
gris!
¡La Vida
no puede ser este temor!
¡¡¡SOCORRO!!!
Y un d铆a
oyes "Sigue tu coraz贸n"
Y oyes "S茅
t煤 misma"
Otras
muchas palabras y se帽aladores sagrados
"¡Sigue
tu coraz贸n!"
Alguien te
dice "Hay NOES de ‘alta calidad’”
¿Un NO de
alta calidad?
¡¡¡S脥!!!
Aparecen
nuevas lecciones
Empiezas a
seguir tu coraz贸n
Al "otro"
se le ve como parte de tu coraz贸n
No como
alguien que quiere algo de ti
¡Ves la
Verdad!
Y entonces:
Se puede hablar la Verdad
Puede ser,
"S脥", "NO", "NO LO S脡"
¡Todos
desde el Coraz贸n!
S脥, tienes
que ser valiente
¡OH S脥!
Y la
sensaci贸n angustiosa en la barriga
S脥, puede
aparecer de vez en cuando
S脥, ¡ha
sido un h谩bito profundamente arraigado!
(¡Quiz谩s
realmente no es ‘angustioso’ despu茅s de todo!)
¡Di la
Verdad! ¡Sigue el Coraz贸n!
A veces es
un NO, pero es un NO desde el amor!
Y un NO
desde el amor es un ¡S脥!
¡¡UN S脥
AL CORAZ脫N!!
