Mask Thoughts

Resilient.

Justice, truth and love are resilient and so are we. Pre-covid I bopped in and out of the city wearing dark red lipstick. Now I wear a red mask. I love NYC and the spontaneous 24/7 creative energy. 

I look forward to grabbing a slice at 2AM, eating it with strangers. The bakeries, the bars. People on subways and street corners, lovers standing close, musicians sharing inspiration, people with plans – and the excitement that will return.

Transcend the mask. 

A mask doesn’t cover a voice. Speak plainly about justice, stand-up for truth, express love. Look for balance and connections. Even with the mask, intuitive choices unlock potential to over-ride limits. The future is ours to create.

Sensing inner connections is the language of possibility. Sensing with heart highlights focus and clarity.  Bonds we need are screened in the head and highlighted at the heart. You are brighter than you know.  The flame burns inside. 

Behind masks, we are hard and soft, old, young, coping, curious, dreaming and hungry for happiness. It all matters. The inner light is on. Don’t ignore it. Freedom is precious. Hearts trapped by masks of time or loneliness or denial need to come out.  

Faces tell stories – the moist joy of smiles, a dry line of sarcasm, open grins with gaping teeth. Exhaustion, excitement, anticipation, anxiety, elation and peace are written on a face. I never thought about lips so much. Emotions, seeded with lips, root in the heart and can grow unspeakable desires and dreams. Every smile is cellular, unique and magnetic. 

 

Indulge in sensual thinking. Let the gentle kiss of curiosity open your mind. There is magic. If eyes are the window to the heart, is the mouth a sign-post of soul?  The way a mouth curves with words. The way lips part with surprise. Lips are exciting. Faces are maps.  

Don’t let the mask throw you off-balance. 

Masks are an absurd inconvenience in an absurd time, making a profound statement. Behind the mask is self-respect. We are brave. There is a lot of work to do.

Bravery keeps us steady. For balance and bravery our thoughts bounce with values like justice, truth and love. Intuition nudges us with courage, patience, dignity and curiosity that are indisputable. This is the beginning of glorious transformation. 

Never let a day pass without learning something. Create new rituals that are meaningful and uplifting. The path is open to build a more humane world where dignity and courage are valued.

 

Dignity and heart bring renewal and forgiveness. Dignity, self-respect, and faith in tomorrow are intuitive tools that transcend separation, isolation and loneliness. Sensuality is presence that fortifies dreams. 

When heat of a moment is balanced with  perspective of the heart, tangible harmonies form. Sense access to your heart. Start by going easy on yourself. We are all naked behind the mask.

 

Our insanity.

Even if this is insanity - it’s our insanity. We can handle it. That birds of sorrow and despair fly around your head, you cannot prevent. But that they build a nest in your hair, this you can prevent. Chinese proverb

When the sun shines, bathe in it. The future offers itself to our imaginations. Be curious. Trust values like justice, truth and love that thread through time. Hold them with your heart. 

 

Every part of our being is moving towards balance. Love holds us tight even when Life tilts. When we recognize love and forget all the answers, the mask fades away.

The present is all consuming. Smile behind the mask. Humor refreshes the soul, and as distractions slip away, our choices are reset with values and purpose. Perspective returns. Be grateful.  #janebernard

Have fun!

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. 

There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth. Rumi 

Everything is music. Make the choice to forgive sour notes and find harmony. Your heart will open up like a flower. Have fun with the magic of being alive! Dance more, because by moving you can see and feel more. Life is everything you need - to Learn, Have, Do and Be! 

Everything is music. Everyone has the best seat. John Cage

Love is a level field. It's something money can't buy and power can't own. We are each made of love. It is the inner strength that bubbles through our hearts and sleeps nestled in the pillows of our dreams. 

When we love there is a river of empathy we swim. The currents of love are unspoken connections that rise like moonlight in our blood. There is rhythm, flow, blending and amazement. That's when opportunities for passion and truth emerge.

Forgiveness is the treasure of Love that keeps pace with heart and timing. Everything has a rhythm. Sensing the music is how balance happens. That's what makes life a sport. The only rule, is to Love.

Love between us is a bridge of trust that holds without confining and lets moments pass. Loving is multidimensional sensual reality. It opens our eyes, mind, heart and soul to simply be present. Make it a habit to notice Love and you will keep discovering more. 

The essence of life is time we share. Inhale moments with your eyes. Flirt with your ears - trust yourself to listen closer. Smile more and you will open your heart to drumbeats of wonder.

Nothing is free, except your spirit. That's part of the game. Being alive is being a player. Have fun! The excitement of living is as deep as we dare to be.

And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth, "You owe me."

Look what happens with love like that.  It lights up the sky.  Hafiz

The Unexpected

"It always seems impossible until it's done."~Nelson Mandela

Open your heart and time will hold you like a lover.

The unexpected is the intuitive advantage. 

Life is laced with outrageous choices and freedoms. We reinvent ourself every day because no 2 days are the same. If you're not happy, think less and sense more. If you tend to analyze yourself into a corner, it's time to exit the box. There is no dogma, religion or rulebook for intuition. 

Feel the rhythms of today. Sensing energy, no matter what we're doing, revs the rhythm of soul. Sensing is the power of truth that brings peace to our heart and mind.  Using what we sense to think, is common sense. 

• Depend on  honesty and stay loyal to your heart. Find truth and soul by living with courage. 
• Life is not always what we expect. It works out. When our eyes, ears, heart and mind are open, life is sweet. . 
• Forgive yourself, but don't forget the truth. Stand up for what is right.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.~ Rumi

The unexpected spins into longing or delight.

Every day is a dizzy spin on the divine potter's wheel. We are formed with laughter, sunlight and night skies. We move with the wind's breath and have no choice but to feel our heart. Everything changes daily.  

You are Life itself. 

Connect with the sublime joy of Living. Intuition is part of our survival instinct. Trust your gut.  Notice values you sense. Courage, dignity, patience and tenacity are not light at the end of tunnel, they are the light inside you, teasing open your potential. Be a hero.

Connections are  kisses and melodies because we are alive. Everyone knows desire. We all hunger for understanding. In the air we breathe, sensual connections, that need no words, stream – and we get the message and respond intuitively.

Wisdom is understanding who you are and how things fit together. It's sensing intuitive connections with the unexpected. A dip in wisdom is a wondrous call to the lightness of being.


Greatness is as startling as courage and as simple as curiosity. Notice what you sense. Transcend the unexpected and connect with purpose by trusting your heart. Choose to be great. 

Do the right thing. 

Claim connections with purpose. Tune-in freedom with every breath you take. You control your choices. Be wise, be intuitive, respond to what you sense. You can feel what's right.

It's an understanding about how things come together that keeps us wise. Connect with purpose. To be balanced and radiant, reach out into the day to understand the unexpected with your senses.

We don't control happiness; we are part of it. Trust self-respect. Avoid what feels wrong and pick up what glitters. Our 6th sense transcends life's glitches. 

 I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Star Power

Starlight of the Human Mind

Every atom in your body contains dust of an exploded star. 

It's time to feel your power. 

According to scientists, 93% of the mass of our body is stardust.

That's why every kind of passion feels like starlight in our veins. 

Starlight, moonlight and sunlight are lights of courage and forgiveness. These naturally prompt us to feel music, make love and live bigger. Notice what you sense. You have cellular star power. Look at the sky to connect with the intoxication of cosmic Love. Let natural star glow free your mind, heart and soul. Laugh more. 

Inner starlight automatically glows when you feel happiness. That's why you light up with excitement when you have new ideas. Every life is a mission of purpose and destiny. Every day we walk paths where dragons and stars wander. To stay on track, act with your heart. Use tenacity, courage and curiosity to be true to yourself. Trust your unique energy, motion and orbit. 

Think with your senses and feel with your mind to power the greatest ride of your Life. Thinking sensually is the intuitive way to find connections that bring love and understanding to your being. 

Today, there is a Solar Eclipse, the Spring Equinox and a Super-Moon. We are surrounded by light, change and courage. These open our eyes and reset our heart's heart. Star power invigorates our ability to be on track for a better future. The Eclipse, Spring-Equinox and Super-Moon are a heavenly trinity serving insights of divine dignity, peaceful joy and intuitive understanding. 

• The Solar Eclipse brings darkness, and that we trust the sun will return, is a sign of faith.

• The Spring Equinox points us unswervingly in the direction of renewed balance and cosmic Love. 

• The Super-Moon, so close to our planet with its lunar pull of gravity, is rocking the oceans and inciting winds of intuitive awareness. Weather systems in our atmosphere and our lives demand attention and patience.

Trust your star-glow the way you trust that every morning the sun will rise. What some call patience, others call faith or love. Whatever you call it, trust yourself to be in sync with change, and you will be exactly where you belong.

“Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. ...Because the cosmos is also within us. We’re made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” ~ Carl Sagan
