Awakening Dreams - Memories

3 days ago

In honor of Mental Health Month, we discuss memories. Why do we forget them? What causes us to forget? How do we comfort a loved one who has dementia? The last couple of months have been challenging in that my mom isn't well, but grateful that she is quickly recovering. Last year, we needed to move her into a nursing facility because of her dementia. It was heartbreaking. Seeing this vibrant outspoken woman's life change prompted me to find a comparison between depression and dementia. I've noticed not only my mom but some others I have known who have suffered from depression are also going through some form of dementia. Can this be true? I looked for a spiritual correlation between the two and didn't find one that dealt with spiritualism alone and did not have an organized religion association. What I was looking for was are we made to lose cognitive skills in order to forget our depression? Is it a form of letting go of the past? Lao Tzu quoted "If you are depressed, you're living in the past. If you have anxiety, you're living in the future. If you have peace, you're living in the present". A study of the association between depression and dementia by HealthDay News reported on WebMD. "Depression is a risk factor for dementia, researchers report, and people with more symptoms of depression tend to suffer a more rapid decline in thinking and memory skills. While the study found an association between the two, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship." A Healthline article on vascular dementia "Vascular dementia is caused by a narrowing or blockage in the blood vessels that provide blood to your brain. This reduced blood flow deprives your brain of much-needed oxygen, which can damage your brain very quickly. Numerous conditions can cause this reduced blood flow to your brain, including: high blood pressure diabetes aneurysm or blood clot heart attack stroke Of those, stroke is the most common cause of vascular dementia. Vascular problems, such as stroke, high cholesterol, and hypertension, aren't related to Alzheimer's disease, as they are with vascular dementia. There is no known cause of Alzheimer's, though your risk of developing it increases with age." I guess I'm trying to make sense of memory loss. I'm at the stage in my life where many of my friends and family are dealing with a loved one with dementia. It saddens me to see such beautiful people with beautiful lives lose their history. The poem for this week is Memories—dedicated to my mom; from my upcoming book Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. This poem is also in my book Inspire Me Series Book 1 & 2 with excerpts from my upcoming book. Memories Today I go through my mom's memoriesI go through her picturesI go through her life's storiesI find her in the pastThe memories she has forgottenThe ones from long agoThat linger in the glimpse of her life Today I go through my mom's memoriesThe ones she has tucked awayThe ones her strokes cheated from herThe painful memories erasedWhat can I do to make your life easier?What can I say to erase your traumas?Do I ignore—when you forget?Do I keep your sadness in my heart? Today I go through my mom's memoriesThe disappointments she kept close to her heartThe wanting to be loved yet feeling abandonedThe simple dreams she was deterred fromThe disappointments fadeThe abandonment fadesThe sadness lingers Today I go through my mom's memoriesAnd merge my memories with hersFeeling the sadness, the disappointmentsWishing the sadness to fade I love you, mom   Inspire Me Series: Book 1 & 2 AARP article on the Difference Between Dementia & Alzheimers Symphony of Soul - Dementia a Spiritual Perspective WebMD - Scientists Shed Light on the Link between Depression & Dementia   Almost Bliss by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5032-almost-bliss License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Awakening Dreams - Diana Rosen

Monday May 09, 2022

This week we have Diana Rosen. She reads several poems Bus Stop Story and Nectarines from her book High Stakes & Expectations. We discuss her journey from a journalist, and non-fiction writer to her current poetry book. Listen in to this great story. DIANA ROSEN is an essayist, poet, and flash writer with credits in online and print journals here in the U.S., Australia, U.K., Canada, and India, including Existere, Ariel Chart, Rattle, and As It Ought to Be Magazine. She is also the author of ten nonfiction books and co-author of three others. She currently contributes content on food and beverage to various websites, and just released her first full-length poetry, "High Stakes & Expectations" from The Tiny Publisher. Diana lives in Los Angeles where her backyard is the 4000+ acre Griffith Park, The largest urban green space in the country. To read more of her work, visit www.authory.com/dianarosen. To purchase her book visit www.thetinypublisher.com/shop. Bus Stop Story The first thing I notice is the fine line of beard outlining his strong chin up to the side of his shiny bald pate. He walks restlessly, rubbing a forefinger along his left temple. Next to me another man poses the usual bus stop questions: Has the Number 50 come? You been waiting long? You work around here? The sound! The sound! Searing right through me it starts like a hum then goes higher, louder, from ah ah ah ah to AYE AYE AYE AYE, the man with the fine line beard flails his arms like a bird ready to soar, whirls and whirls then falls into the street like a boulder tumbling down the side of a mountain. The questioner and I rush to him. Still flailing, his right hand clenches my left wrist like a crushing vise. We turn them over on their sides now, the questioner says calmly, his cigarette dangling from his matter-of-fact mouth, no more putting sticks in their mouths to hold down the tongue. As we roll the man onto his side, his hand drops heavily from mine, his huge shaking body becomes quiet. I’ve called the paramedics someone else says, they’ll be here soon, and with that, the chartreuse truck rolls up and medics step out, into their official roles. The Number 50 arrives and I climb aboard. The questioner remains with the epileptic. I can’t shake the sound or the feel of his grip. A few weeks later, the man with the fine line beard is back at my stop. I rub my left wrist. Our eyes do not meet.   NECTARINES IT’S A HECKUVA FRUIT! Juicy warm, broiled with goat cheese and honey, a must to bring my dad just to hear him laugh, recite again from his favorite Carl-Reiner-Mel Brooks recording, with the 2000-year-old man, velvet caped and gravelly voiced, who reveals he once dated Joan of Arc, married hundreds of times, had 42,000 children and not one came to visit!   I don’t care. But they could send a note, write, “Howya, Pop!   True, Dad didn’t date Joan of Arc, but he did date Pearl, his memories kept in the thick album Of Kodak black and whites with curvy edges slotted Into triangle black corner holders pasted on dull Cream pages, captioned, “Me and Pearl!” or, “Pearl And Me” or, my favorite, “Guess Who?”   That Mom had no compunction about this totem Of his life before us said a lot about their marriage ‘til death did part them. My stepmother helped Dad buy a new suit and tie to meet Pearl and her husband for lunch following her surprise call. You know what happened. Civil conversation. The ride home longer than to the restaurant, the scrapbook returned to the shelf. Dad didn’t even reach a century much less two millennia yet to the end, smiled to see another fuzz-less peach, sweet nectar of summer, its smooth skin not unlike Dad’s with its signature blush of red.   I still miss our calls.   What’s the secret to your long life? Reiner asks. Nectarines! I love that fruit. It’s a heckuva fruit!   Get your copy of Sonia Iris Lozada's new book: Inspire Me Series Book 1 and 2

Awakening Dreams - Overwhelmed Yet Excited

Awakening Dreams - Overwhelmed Yet Excited

Monday May 02, 2022

Overwhelmed yet Excited Have you ever wished for a certain situation to happen, be it a career, family event, or a relationship, only to be overwhelmed when it does? There’s excitement there to see how a dream is materializing and then the overwhelmed button seems to turn on just when you feel your life is going your way. Is it because we’re not prepared? Can it be that we anticipated a different scenario? What we perceive is just that—a perception. This happened to me lately. As an actor, you want more opportunities to audition. More auditions equal more possibilities of booking a job. Got a new agent, and I assumed the experience I have had in the past, would continue. It didn’t. I’ve been going out on many auditions. It’s so exciting to audition and book one or two here and there. Great! I love it! The situation of feeling overwhelmed happened when I didn’t alter my regular routine to accommodate the change. I was trying to do it all. There are several situations in life that needed to be altered. How do I schedule my auditions, regular job, book launch, writing more stories, and still be able to interview/write/edit my podcasts? I love doing my podcast, so let’s move that to the weekends. Writing—I can do it early in the morning or do I move it to the evening? Will I be too tired to do it in the evening is my question? Creativity comes from quieting the mind. So how do I decide? I’m thinking of meditating before I write. I’m concerned that I’ll be too tired and just fall asleep. It’s happened and I don’t doubt it’ll happen again. It’s okay. One thing I’ve learned in life is don’t fight your body because, in the end, the body will win. The pandemic is tapering off and my employer wants me in the office. I believe the answer I’m looking for is balance because life is good. So, what is being overwhelmed, excited, and balanced? Overwhelm According to the GoodTherapy website, the definition of overwhelmed is emotional overwhelm is a state of being beset by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can affect your ability to think and act rationally. It could also prevent you from performing daily tasks. Excitement Whereas excitement is an emotional state marked by enthusiasm, eagerness or anticipation, and general arousal (APA Dictionary)/ Balance Is a harmonious relationship or equilibrium of opposing forces or contrasting elements. Can we do it all? I believe you can make the most of these situations. First, ask yourself what is really important to you? What are you willing to let go of? Can you write out a pros and cons list for each situation? Quiet the mind. Do some meditation, and go for a walk. Do something that brings you joy, right here, right now. Life changes and so can you. Let go of what no longer serves your life. Follow your dreams. We are resilient. Much gratitude. A reading of the poem "Vulnerable" from Inspire Me: Raw. Until next time when I’ll have more questions. Many blessings.     Music Mesmerize by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1500005 Artist: http://incompetech.com/

THE GLYPHS IN THE CANYONS I’ve forgotten those times between                                        wakefulness and dozing and sleep. I know something happened,  but I can’t recall what it was. It’s like trying to recall where  I was just before I was born.   My friend tells me that this is the                                            reason I should never fear death.  She says, “You don’t know where you  were before you were born, so why  fret about where you’ll be after  you die?” This is wisdom I can  acknowledge, but from which I glean                                     no comfort and it is comfort  I want more than nearly any thing. I want the great eyes of God to turn my tears to opals and the  great tongue of God to tell me that    life and death are the same--that I                                         will keep loving and making love, and  walking and humming, and wanting and holding, and will never lose  my appetite for joy or for potato chips and onion dip and ice cream.   Between wakefulness and dozing                                          and sleeping, what is there to know? Who do I serve awake/asleep? Who do I honor when I doze? And why is wakefulness the stain on all this embalmed paradise? Her previous episode on Poetic Resurrection can be listened to here. (We are part of the Amazon Associates program and proceeds go back into the podcast) Glyphs is available on Amazon Her other books are also available on Amazon and other book retailers.

Awakening Dreams - Inspire Me Perception

Awakening Dreams - Inspire Me Perception

Monday Apr 18, 2022

In continuing the celebration of poetry month. Poetic Resurrection will have two poet interviews. We again will welcome Martina Reisz Newberry and a newcomer to our podcast, Diana Rosen. In this episode, I will discuss and read a few poems from Inspire Me: Perception. Inspire Me: Perception was recently re-edited and we will release a compilation book of the first two Inspire Me books this month with a preview of five poems from my upcoming book Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. Enjoy! The poems in this episode include “Silhouette”—a poem about a traumatic experience “Food”—a poem about my love of food and how a loving family makes fun of you and currently the most popular poem “Tomorrow” about how we view life and rethinking our perceptions. Various lines from “Tomorrow” have been quoted by several websites.   Silhouette A dark shadow appears—soul shakes, the body suspends. A story of an altered spirit who’ll manifest soon in the deepest of night. Shadow essence of two-week visit encompasses my thoughts and sleep. If present, she’ll be safe. Who do you speak of, spirit? A man’s silhouette in the early morning as the streetlights gleam upon glistening muscle tone. The sun peeks as my roommate dreams, unconscious of his gaze. In the darkness, a gun rises in his hand, aims at roommate’s head. Silence takes over as the smoke aura scars her fate. Dream propels my slumber, and I go to her room. If I’m present, she’ll be safe repeats. Sunlight dances on my face as the night’s story whispers away. She awakens, “Had that dream again, didn’t you?” “Yes.” Three full moons calendar the sky. Gotham called for her home—She’s safe. Chitown childhood friends summer evening visit—Sunset Strip. Summer heat, sleep half nude as evening completes at midnight. Vocal and joyful friends jest of a man at the window where the drapes bellow. Amusement drains the night as the muscles gleaming silhouette appears. She runs into my bedroom, gun points at third eye—forced out of comfort into the lifeless living room. Essence extends my body as I guard the front door. “Think you’re going somewhere?” He shouts. Gun points for me to sit by piano. The silent melody piano bench where I abide. “On the floor,” he casts me as he bares my skin from sheet. Little sister weeps and window slams, fearing discovery of his carnal acts. Guilt survival mission defuses the present. Escaping—leap two steps—first landing. Leap again, gun at head. Blinding movie screen of my life flashes, steals my sight. Land on corner of step and propelled onto the ground. Not dying, not tonight! Street or parking lot?  A straight shot I will not be as I hide beside cars until I can jump a concrete fence that divides the building. Footsteps dissipate. Blood curdling screams echo in the distance. I climb many staircases and a man stands with two dogs. “Please call the police,” I beg. “I think my friend’s dead.” His girlfriend’s pink robe drapes a childhood fear. We hide. Police state, “Stay inside.”  Helicopter’s beaming lights—Treble sirens and watchful dogs ease chaotic street. An hour-and-a-half, a knock. Police state, “He escaped—assaulted another woman and stole her car.”  Friends approach in a cloud of disbelief, sobbing. They heard my fall, calling—No answer—Saw my death in his hands. Police, “He’ll return.” Neighbor held us safe, and we slept on her floor. My scarred friends left the next day. Never went back. He never paid. Warning from silhouette, but I didn’t understand. Premonition, and it’s real impact. Checking doors and windows for a year, but I know I saved my friends because—I was there.   Food ReminiscingFood stories that my family tellsAbout behaviorDon’t remember, age three or four Learned to walk, learned to climbKitchen chair, telephone booksGod forbid family wouldBuy a step ladder to make my life easier An old refrigerator (not old back then)Lever—jump up and pull downSister wonders why fridge is ajarOpens door—Surprise, it’s me! Sitting on a shelf eating an appleShe grabs me, fights to get fruitTug of war ensuesShe wants a chewed apple? Stomping away (I had such an attitude)Fruit in hand—I wonSister retells story as family laughsI am offended by their laughter Rope around stove, fridgePadlock on pantry? Chocks for candy!Where’s the fruit?Watch fire in stove—I love fireplaces Upset, storm off to yellow vinyl 50’s sofaJump up and slide back downJump up again and againOh well, I’ll throw myself on floor Crying because I’m a miffed childCheck to see if they’re watchingMom comes over and hugs meSit on the big vinyl sofa—Finally!   Tomorrow If I were to die tomorrowWould I have organized my homeWould I have left my paperwork in orderWould I have made it easier for my familyIf I were to die tomorrowWould I have followed and completed my dreamsWould I have loved the way I wanted to loveWould I have visited the world like I wanted toIf I were to die tomorrow Would I have told those that I loved that I love them Would I have seen the beauty in my own life Can I say that I lived my life to its fullest If I were to die tomorrowWould I have lived today Would I have loved differently Would I have felt my life was complete If I would die tomorrow A sadness would be thereTo know I wasted so much timeIf I were to die tomorrowI would make the unknown I’d face the unknown I was so afraid ofAs I choose my life today with strength and joy   Music Relaxing Piano Music by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4273-relaxing-piano-music License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Awakening Dreams - Inspire Me: Raw

Monday Apr 11, 2022

In celebration of poetry month. Poetic Resurrection will interview poets and links to previous poet interviews. In this episode, I will be discussing and reading a few poems from Inspire Me: Raw. Inspire Me: Raw was recently re-edited and a compilation book of the first two Inspire Me books will be released this month with a preview of five poems from my upcoming book Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. Enjoy! Citizen poem was written several months before Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. When this happened, I was surprised that many didn’t know Puerto Ricans are American Citizens. This poem explains how many Puerto Ricans feel. Citizen Curly red hair Freckled skin Speaking Spanish Not fitting in   People’s biases Perceptions Ignorance —Citizen   Where are you from? How did you get here? Was it a struggle? No—Citizen   No boats No tunnels No hiding Airplanes   I belong here Born here Educated —Citizen   Forget was written about a woman who lived in the tenement where I grew up in Chicago. As a child I would catch her crying in the hallway after her husband physically abused her. Forget Sometimes I can’t remember: often, actually The times I run out and say nothing to you The times I am angry and pretending to be  okay The times I don’t come home at night   Sometimes I can’t remember: often, actually When your anger lashes out at me When you drink too often and hurt me When you disappear into an aberrant abyss of time   Sometimes I do remember: often, actually Your cruel words that hurtYour desire to touch that repulses Your anger at who you’ve become   I remember and choose to forget Do you love? As those you love are hurt Do you know the emergency room—a second home? Do you understand—Inner scars show more than the ones I wear?   Sometimes I can’t remember: often, actually The raising of happy children here The life we thought was possible The comfort of a safe, loving home   Sometimes I can’t remember: often, actually How reality needs exposure How I’ve always remembered How lights slowly dim on you   Go Go Boots is about being a ten-year-old child and wanting to be thin so she could wear the sixties fashions. They didn’t fit. Go-Go Boots At 10 Made a mistake Told my teacher that I Want to lose weight   First diet included Liver, once a week—Yuk! Different recipes, so nasty That’s not what I was seeking   Stood in line for free lunch Menu: peanut butter cookies My favorite munchies I wanted one—Damn!   “Hide one for me, please” When teacher’s not looking Don’t want to get teased for Failing program on first day   My mom states, “You’re only ten! No reason for a diet” Wanting to be model thin Groovy clothes—Buy them Go-Go boots the stylish trend   Chubby clothes too short Regular pants too long Big kid bell bottoms reach calves Average size bells at ankles   Others smoke bongs Skunk weed smell Permeates halls Hide don’t tell—jail fate in ‘68   What to do with weight Insecurities begin Entire life, same shit—wasted time And now I’m fine     Music by: Gotama “Forgiveness” Visit https://gotama-music.bandcamp.com

Awakening Dreams - Season 4 Intro

Awakening Dreams - Season 4 Intro

Monday Apr 04, 2022

In this week’s episode and intro to season four, we’re going to discuss Awakening Dreams. The next book entitled, Inspire Me: In Time of Need, we changed the subtitled to Awakening Dreams. In Time of Need was a working title and since the pandemic has lessened, Awakening Dreams is a much better description of what many have experience.    There is a newly re-edited compilation book coming out this month. Includes the first two books in the Inspire Me series and then five poems from my upcoming book—Inspire Me: Awakening Dreams. The topic for this season is awakening dreams. What dreams and aspirations have you had which led you to a new way of thinking and living? Mine started with reading the book “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”. After that, I became a self-help junkie and couldn’t read enough books on the subject. I also learned that reading them even though they make you think about your beliefs and actions, the concepts need to be applied. Since then, I only read the books that pertaining to my development at this time. What I have learned and this is so cliché is that you need to live in the present. While worrying about the future and the past, we miss the present. Lao Tzu stated: “If you live in the past, you’re depressed. If you live in the future, you have anxiety. If you live in the present, you have peace.” In all my soul searching, and that is what it is unless you apply the knowledge you’ve acquired. We need to reflect and allow ourselves to be vulnerable. When I stopped being defensive, which came from insecurity, I became accepting of what my beliefs and behaviors were and how many weren’t even mine. Allow yourself to feel, being grateful even when situations are challenging. And, knowing you have value. The poem for this week is Vulnerable from Inspire Me: Raw. Vulnerable   Call upon angels for clarity Are they listening? Meditate, feeling the joy That enchants the heart   Meditate, letting go Bliss surrounds me Chill flows through my spine Inspiration finds me   Energy flows through my fingers Onto a notebook page Close eyes and let life be Unafraid to be exposed   Allowing myself to be Love and consideration How can this be hostile? Vulnerable exposition   Cold sharpness, head to toe Release, remove my mask Golden light surrounds Fulfills my existence   Many blessings Music: With These Wings by essesq Jonathan Livingston Seagull: https://amzn.to/3u5oihk   Further reading on awakening: https://chopra.com/articles/10-signs-of-spiritual-enlightenment-awakening

Women’s History Month – Healing Poets Poetic Resurrection has featured various female poets. the talks are divided by the essence of the topic. There are two types of poets on this podcast. This week we will discuss healing poets. The difference between the two since poetry is healing in itself is these talks have the sense of healing others as in self-help/mindfulness. I, myself fit under this category and you can catch any of the many poems on the podcast.

Maryam Ghouth discusses the three-part poetry film Journey of Becoming. A reading of the poem Your Autonomy, (part I) of ‘The Journey of Becoming’, which is a series of philosophical poetry films about self-realization.

We discuss healing and talking circles and how they facilitate the “self” in becoming “whole” and the Aztec (Sun) calendar and how it guides you to the essence of your character. https://poeticresurrection.podbean.com/e/soul-of-healing-with-trini-rodriquez/ Dr. Egypt Iredia performs a reading of her poem My Child-Like Eyes and the concept and development of the poem.
