In out of the way places of the heart
where your thoughts never think to wander
This beginning has been quietly forming.
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the EMPTINESS growing inside you
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
STILL UNABLE to LEAVE what you had OUTGROWN.
It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the GRAY PROMISES that sameness whispered
Heard the WAVES of TURMOIL rise and relent,
Wondered HOW you would ALWAYS LIVE LIKE THIS!
Then the delight when your courage kindled
And out you stepped onto NEW GROUND
Your eyes young again with energy and dream
A path of plenitude opening before you.
THOUGH YOUR DESITINATION IS NOT YET CLEAR..
YOU CAN TRUST THE PROMISE OF THIS OPENING
Unfurl yourself into the grace of BEGINNING
That is at one with your life's desire.
Awaken your spirit with adventure
Hold nothing back, learn to find the ease in risk.
SOON you will be home in a new rhythm
For your SOUL senses the world that awaits you.
