there is
a place
where your dreams and memories
merge together
and form a perfect world.
where hopes and visions
come true.
that is heaven.
and each heaven is unique.
it is
the world
of

i follow the rainbows
guided by a voice inside
/// visions, omens, decrees
led to a new life at the edge of the sea.

“I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream.” 

i envisioned this life so many times.
it felt like some far-off future, always in the back of my mind,
Here I am, living it in real time. 😭🙏🌈🌺🌊🐚🔥

the rainbows, the flowers, the salt, sand, sun and sea are my medicine
my spirit was raised by these sights, sounds, smells.
annual pilgrimage to these islands since age 7.
it is my soul land.
place of power. (Castaneda)
heart-fated. soul-mated.

have you ever felt the merging point between
who you were,
who you are,
and who you will be?
no longer separate.
All one. All here. All now.

—-a singularity of the self.

my word for the year (before knowing we were moving to hawaii) was: ARRIVAL.
i choose it intuitively. i feel the shape, size, texture of the new year and speak the name i’m given.  
Arrival.
as time goes on, the meaning reveals itself.

tears of coming home.
waves of belonging.
the earth rumbles beneath my feet
volcano erupting
shaking off everything that isn’t soul
tidal waves of exponential growth
radical rearrangement of consciousness
initiations into profound new ways of being.
of becoming.
of Becoming who I’m meant to be

aligning with the frequencies
of paradise
because paradise isn’t a place
it’s a state of being.

this brings enormous Change, metamorphosis.
i see visions of a lightning bolt zigzag clicking into alignment – straight as an arrow.
i’m told to align myself.
Align to this new place. This new way. This new dimension. (it’s so, so big)

the Rainbow path: 🌈
comes to me in visions.
i pass myself
through the eye of the needle.
i alchemize my heart---
turn its tethers into feathers.

i churn myself in the undertow
give myself up to the power of the sea
i let life have its way with me.
sometimes it feels like drowning
sometimes it feels free
either way,
It delivers me to the life I always dreamed

first morning in our new home in hawaii 🌈☀️🌊🌺🌴🐚🌙🥥🐬
the sky says, “welcome kohlhagens!” ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
