Darkness
suppressed
unreachable
for Light
Fear
suppressed
unreachable
for Love
Pain
suppressed
unreachable
for Life
You
suppressed
unreachable
for You
In the still, dew-filled morning we climbed
Bushes, teasing butterflies,
Hidden pathways, elusive waterfalls
Gorges, falling rocks
Higher we go, higher and higher
To the edge.
When we arrive
Sun on our faces
Moss under our feet
A wonderous sight.
We know we must return
Knowing it was worth the climb
We know we never left …
The searching had no end so far
Always ongoing and intense
And with it came the old old pain
which every find revealed
When finding came in that dark night
And searching found her home
Compassion poured from finding’s eyes
With tenderness and tears
Clear Love was firmly standing there
No more disguised as form;
The wanting left you in the end
And you found who you are
How does it feel inside of you when you lie to someone you love very much?
Sometimes we believe things that don’t feel good inside of us.
We believe that the situation should be different than it is.
We believe that we should have done things differently in our life.
We believe that we want to be with somebody else than the one we are with right now.
We believe that our children should love us.
We believe that we have to do something to get love.
We believe that we should get love from somebody else.
We believe that we are not worthy to receive love.
Does this feel inside of you as if you are lying to someone you love?
When you believe these statements you are lying to someone you love so dearly: YOU.
When you ever want to meet me
Come with your naked soul
Let innocence be your wardrobe
Walk with me in your pain
And tell me all your stories
Ask anything you want
I’ve carried you now this far
And never ever left you
Your birth took place in me
And so your death will too
And at the end of all the stories
You are and you are me
Sometimes it happens that Grace touches you. And suddenly you feel something pouring out of you. You call it joy, love, happiness, being in love. When the time is right, this flow can not be stopped anymore. Maybe it is a little less sometimes, but it keeps flowing.
When the time is not right, when your thought structure is too dense, the flow will stop. So it seems. Deep inside of you the stream will go on, steadily, ongoing.
You feel that as not being at ease, confusion, not knowing anything for sure anymore, wanting to return back to old patterns and habits, isolation and pain.
This flow, this stream inside of you is like lava in a volcano. Streams of lava that want to come out, cannot be stopped by you, no matter how hard you try. The more dense the wall of defense, the higher the pressure on the wall….
And, when the time and the circumstances are right, it happens. A look, a word, a gesture lets the volcano explode and the flow bursts out into the open.
Scared to death, so innocent and with immense freedom, you look at yourself in utmost wonder. You stand, walk your first steps and you begin your journey. With arms wide open and Grace as your heart, you embrace all the people.
I will give you everything
And when you take it all
Then there is nothing left
Of what you thought you were
You’re standing empty handed
Perhaps for the first time
Innocent and so open
In cristal, dappled light
And when your gentle footsteps
With Blessing as your friend
Will guide you to the fullness
Of what reveals itself
Then you will dance with rain
In this abundant place
And find at the horizon
The source of Gratitude
