My Inner Edges
This is my journey. Life long. I offer multiple practices of wholeness that inform my awareness. Here you will find poetry I love, favorite people, places, inspirations and my photographs. This is where my inner edge meets your inner edge and where my inner edge meets learning, synchronicity, expansion.
I’m a seeker…this is my personal covenant:
1. My destiny and commitment to myself is to step into my signature presence which expresses diamond clarity and practiced integration of body, mind, spirit and intuition for the benefit of all.
2. I will leverage my strengths, which are deep abiding peace, laser awareness, open-hearted acceptance, compassion, imagination and unwavering commitment.
3. I will deal with my shortcomings of tentativeness and waiting by being proactive, visible and asking for what I want as I offer who I am.
4. In order to create space for renewal, I let go of being overly responsible for the daily-ness of my life and the lives of others and focus on creative expression and synergistic collaboration with interested partners.
5. In personal triumph, I affirm my legacy by expressing my spacious awareness, intuitive knowing and deep compassion while surrendering to the genius and generosity of the universe. I invite others to do the same.
I’ll be sharing my thoughts, feelings and resources with you…
My passion is to elicit the vibrance and creativity that we all possess so that we can leave a legacy of relational and planetary sustainability for our children and grandchildren.

Dear Sandy:
What a beautiful testimony to YOU and YOUR presence in my life and the world. You are an example of reaching out to all with all of your possibilities…that special Something within you is meant to touch many. Your artistic expressions are exquisite. You are an expression of the Infinite…as you share so freely that which you learn moment to moment, day to day, life to life. I am blessed by your abundance…as is the world. I am nearing that place where I burst forth into the world to share my own expression…and so much that I have learned from YOU. I bow to you, for as you expand, so do I, and so do ALL…as All are ONE. Jai Ma!!

I shall be overjoyed to walk this blog path with you–dear “partner.”
Boundless love,

as i stumbled across your blog, it stopped me in my tracks. im not sure if it was because i have 2 young children, a mother i barely speak with, a deceased father, or the mere fact that your writing has drawn me into a world of which i’m not familiar with. That world is of introspection, where i examine where i am and put a value or a meaning on everything that is important or what i think is important. i hate that i cant. period. life is life and for whatever reason, some people can and some can’t, but the experience it to its fullest even though you can’t do, is the challeng. thanks for the insight in to your life and lives.

Hello Sandy,
We will never fully know the effect that our own lives have on countless others but I wanted to let you know that I have been sharing many of the poems and ideas that you have posted here with my yoga students. Your thoughts have made me become more aware of life and living and I can only hope that by sharing them with my students, their lives have been touched too.
Thanks for giving of yourself.

I have been reading your blog – lovely writing and you have superb taste in poets. I have been looking for a Jane Hirshfield poem that was published shortly after 9/11. I cannot remember the title and, though I have many of her books, none with this poem. The essence of the poem was that any of those who died would live deeply, given the chance.

Sandy, I’ve recently lost my father and found your blog on doing a search for “Pema Chodron”, whose writings I find imminently helpful right now. Your insights and writings have touched me and I look forward to exploring your blog further. Thanks for sharing your inner edge.

Dear Sandy, similarly to others, I found your blog by searching for someone else – in this case looking for a David Whyte poem. What a lovely blog you have! I have been on the edge of setting one up myself with photos, my poems and those of other poets and posting the music I compose.
I didn´t know blogs could be this gentle and unself-obessed. I´d use yours as a possible model, if you don´t mind.
I love your inner edges and the great clarity they announce.
I have been walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain – 1000 year old meditative walk over around 1000 km. I arrived yesterday and am inspired by you today, in Santiago. Thanks for your serendipitous visit into my day.

I came across your blog this morning while looking for poems of hope by Mary Oliver. My blog partner’s brother is in ICU, and I had wanted to do a post for him, her, their family.
I was struck by the beauty of your blog.

Have been reading about the diamond approach and this reminds me of that. I’m listening to The Eyes of the World by the Grateful Dead and I want to do the same things as you want to do. Thanks for posting your intentions on the internet and may you have great adventures and joy.

Friends,
I found a reference on My Inner Edge to the book, The Fabric of Our Future, Women Visionaries Illuminate the Path to Tomorrow. A MUST read. Meeting here is a wonderful place to travel on this path of unfoldment. Thank you so much for the creativity you share and thus inspire in others.
Be Well.

I was looking for “A vision” by Wendell Berry and happened upon your site. I feel like I have come home. We are definitely kindred spirits in this often crazy-making world.
Thanks for your creativity and insight. You nourish my journey. I will check in regularly.

Can you give me your source for the Rilke poem “Wherever you are, go out into the evening, leaving your room. . . .”
I just stumbled on your blog and love it.

I discovered your blog one day while looking for a Mary Oliver poem. Your writing and exquisite photographs have brought inspiration to me and my mother over the last several months. Thank you for the grace you have brought to our lives. I am caring for my mother as she transitions from this life to the next. I am reminded of being in the present moment as I observe my mother living with Alzheimer’s disease. The present moment is her lens and I have the gift of looking through it with her. I share your blog with my mother often. She loves listening to me read to her and appreciates your photography fully.
Thank you, thank you. Namaste
