WHEN YOU ASK

“It's such a good feeling to know you're alive.” Fred Rogers

When you ask, "Who are you?”, I answer: I Am That I Am. My name may be Malana, yes… but I Am That I Am… and all that I Am, the truth of my being, unfolds from this: I Am. The journey of my life is a gradual unfolding, petal by petal, of the blossoming of my radiant I Am. It's what’s driven my lifelong seeking: who am I? Who am I, really? And since the I AM has no limits, since it has no boundaries, there can be no finite moment of arrival, no concrete destination in answering the question. How delightful… to be revealed! Moment by moment, day by day, year after year. What I do know, and what I trust, is my eternalness, my infinitude, my boundary-less-ness! From this inherently arises what I like to call my “shamanic instinct”, my ability to communicate with the whole of the natural world here on planet earth, including non-verbally with the humans, and to access other, “off-planet” dimensions of consciousness, giving me a greater capacity to appreciate what’s here as I return from that always mind-bendingly-liberating, heart-opening, soul-resplendent Vastness~ back into li’l-ol’-resplendent me~ walking the Beauty path through this life of wonder, a foot in both worlds, the best of both.
