I am Izabo Hawk.
I am somewhat of loner with unorthodox ideas. Comfortable in my own skin, I do socialize and enjoy the company of others, with the awareness that I am my own person and confident in sharing my ideas and listen to those who are willing to share theirs.
At times, I find the energies of others distracting, and being empathic I prefer to small gatherings, so I tend to avoid crowds. I do not follow the crowd, so to speak just for the sake of belonging. Instead, I find my own personal way to choose a unique mode of expression. One could say I�m eclectic spiritually, artistically and how I chose to live my life. Conforming to rigid rules and set boundaries society has placed for us all is not a hardship me, but I can always find a way to step outside the lines. Life is an adventure after all.
When I meet someone new, or while engaged in conversation with familiars, maintaining eye contact is important to me. It requires strength, self-confidence and sometimes courage to do so. The eyes are the windows to your soul, that being said, sometimes the eyes reveal more than the uttered word. Also everyone requires space, personal space. So avoiding physical contact is highly respected until initiated by an other, yet I am sensitive enough to blend with another person's very essence, and sense their need for a gentle touch on the shoulder or hand. Honoring another�s personal space, listening to each other�s words and respecting each other as a whole is the connection I look forward to.
I am fascinated with circles and the continuance of all life. Religion intrigues me, but I am rarely dogmatic. Rigid ideas irritate me, for I believe that each person must find his or her own way. I realize that all paths lead towards the same end if followed with intuition, selflessness, and a respect for all living things. On my journey of self-discovery I am eclectic, gathering ideas from various sources- Paganism, Native American Traditions, Earth based spirituality, amongst many others. Walking my own path in spiritual enlightenment is one of many in my attempts at self-improvement and manifesting my own destiny. In my search for truth and a sense of well being I�ve slowly allowed my true self to flow out into the universe. I truly believe that what you send out will return to you. So as I walk my path I send out goodness and compassion, as Mother Earth and all her inhabitants deserve nothing less. Negativity abounds and as it is with all life and the law of the universe: there cannot be light without dark, day without night, goodness without evil. Compassion truly is the key to harmony and balance.
Expressing oneself can be a difficult task. Especially now as I wonder about sharing thoughts and to avoid being repetitious with what I have shared already in my thoughts and poetry. On a more personal intimate level, as the creative individual that I am, often I pull back into myself just to focus my energies in one clear direction, as I find the energies of others distracting at times. These are the times when I am thinking on a deeper level and need to free myself from these distractions, and during those times one would find me writing or expelling pent up emotions in exercise or seeking solstice in nature. Some people tend to think that I am unreachable or even painfully moody. I do not stay on an even keel- the quiet patient observer to the intense and passionate participant. I have an aura about me that pulls others towards me and frightens some others away. No one can accuse me of being lukewarm.
Although I have proclaimed myself as a loner, I am human and I have the need for companionship. As it so rarely happens to many, I have met my soul mate, but being he was spoken for, we have formed a bond stronger than I have ever known. But I am firm believer that this new age search for one�s soul mate is not the ultimate solution to the perfect relationship. Friendship should not be discounted so easily as it so often is, as friends are so very important in life. Building on that basis, complimenting each other�s lives, makes for a strong bond, moving on to higher levels forming a relationship that could last a lifetime. I�m grateful and honored for everyone I�ve crossed paths with, sharing interests, thoughts and revealing parts of our lives with each other. As with any relationship, communication, compassion and courage are the key. It�s not the quantity of friends; it�s the quality that�s important. Eventually, somewhere in time, we�ll all find someone to compliment our lives, someone to love.
I honor nature and can sense a special magic in all living things and with my beliefs and vivid imagination anything is possible to me. I adore fantasy, mystical creatures and magical worlds, as much as Mother Earth. I have a natural affinity for animals and I am innately courageous. I find beauty in nature�s entire splendor and I love to explore gardens and forests, mountains and lakes, learning all that I can with quiet regard and remaining respectful to all life. I feel a connection with all animals and my favorite is the horse. If I had the choice I would live surrounded by nature, with my one true love, riding daily through forests and trails, enjoying the partnership of human and animal and all that there is. And enjoying the serenity that Mother Earth has to offer, and offer what I could and to share what I�ve learned so other�s may learn to enjoy the same.
Over the past four years I�ve hidden within a self-imposed fortress, building a barrier secluding myself even at the expense of actualizing my hopes and dreams. This humble little corner on the Internet has been my first step to cracking through that barrier. I have been told by many that I do generate a lot of charisma, and people do tend to open up to me, as I am good listener. Life is all about taking risks and I�ve learned to return all that has been offered to me. Being that I posses a complex personality, layers upon layers of emotions and wants and needs and desires I feel this is the perfect time to begin a new quest. This is a quest not only to continue to learn and explore all that this world has to offer, but to improve my creativity, and perhaps find a companion to compliment my life. No one could possibly know their destiny, but I feel mine is leaning towards helping others, utilizing my imagination and creativity, remembering as always to remain compassionate and caring. If I immerse myself in the flow, my quest will be a success.
Blessed Be!
