It is Here

 

The invitation
To remember
Your Original face,
Your eternal nature,
Is right here
In your present circumstance.

Just say Yes.

Guardian at the Gate

 

What if Fear is your Ally?

And Love's midwife?

The messenger from the worlds "beyond"?

The One who says, "Come here...right here, this is your edge.

Here is the limit you have put on your own existence.

Stand here with me. Feel this shakiness, this tension, this twisting in your gut. Allow yourself to be in this tension for awhile.

Open to the Mystery that is right here.

And I will show you the door to Freedom."

She Rises

 

Sometimes she swallows me whole,
This goddess who rises up
Within me
When the moon is full
And I disappear
into Her 
Mystery.
