I feel you in the pit of my stomach
I see you in my dreams
Exploring every inch of my soul
Your touch reverberates inside me
Your energy lingers
Causing more yearning
This connection is strong and inexplicable
I want to feel your hands on me
Come through the door and shake me awake
This dream is divine
The truth shatters the illusion
My yearning for you is just a reflection
I see myself in your pain
Open me
Unwrap me from my slumber
Take me
Ravish me
Then set me free.
“What if we choose love… every. single. time?
What would the world look like then?” ~Jana Joy
What if we love as much as we’re capable of loving, even if it falls short of other’s expectations or needs?
What if our insecurities and fears are the cause of our harmful behaviour and has nothing to do with others?
What if we act out just because we are hurting?
What if forgiveness for all the hurt we cause each other is a blessing that will open our hearts to loving ourselves and others more deeply?
What if we are so desperate to prove our worth by “doing” in order to hide from our feelings of worthlessness that we just can’t see another way?
What if being asked to open our hearts and rise is simply out of our capacity right now?
What if what we truly need is something we can find within ourselves and we don’t need to look to others for it?
What if our suffering is so immense, we just need to hide for a bit to feel safe?
What if we simply lack the skills to navigate through our own painful emotions so cannot hold space for others in pain?
What if we stopped judging ourselves and others for how we show up in our pain and just had compassion instead?
What if we acknowledge we are all doing the very best we can when faced with difficult circumstances?
What if we stopped begrudging ourselves and others what little relief we can find in whatever ways we can find it, even if we don’t agree on each other’s methods?
What if the actions of others, their beliefs, opinions and harsh words have nothing to do with us and are merely reflections of their own heart that may broken, closed or healing from trauma?
What if the same is exactly true for us?
What if our fear of starting over is what causes us to behave in hurtful ways?
What if our true value is no longer defined by others?
What if we just gave thanks for the gifts in our lives that are here because of all the pain we’ve faced and overcome?
What if setting ourselves free is our greatest act of self love and inspires others to do the same?
What if we stopped looking backward and started focussing on all the blessings here, right now, and what is on its way to us?
What if we stopped clinging to old habits, to things, to ideas, to people that only weigh us down and prevent our ascension?
What if we placed all of our attention on the incredible life that awaits us when we let go of the storylines that threaten to destroy us?
What if we remember our divine “why” and followed our hearts instead of our minds?
What if we choose love… every. single. time?
What would the world look like then?
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” – Rumi
My mind slips into remembrance of your touch
Your gaze…
Intense
Creating a fierce hunger in me
My heart skips a beat
Electricity flows through my veins
Awakening the sleeping passion within me
Tender embrace
Reverence
Gently holding each other
As we move into vulnerability
There is fear beckoning me
I resist the urge to pull away
Back to the safety of my armour
You stand in your truth with such courage
It calls me back
Opens my heart
No need to define this connection
So raw in its intensity
Just allowing the flow of energy to weave its way back to the ocean
To source
No need to build a dam
To block
To hoard
To interrupt what is destined.
This pull is strong
But I remain fluid
I cannot be held by grasping
I can only be bathed in and then released.
I seep into your heart and leave a piece of me
To remind you
I am here
Pure light
Resonating frequencies
Ease and grace my offering
I see you
I feel you so deep within
I hold you in my dreams
May this journey
Bring us closer to truth
Broken hearts
Healing
Trust
Guiding each other home
Let me hold space for your pain
Transforming my own
I am coming back to life
A spark of divinity
Awakening to love
To connection
To purpose
I am fed
But still hungry
I await our next moment
With baited breath
The Invitation~~
It doesn’t interest me
what you do for a living.
I want to know
what you ache for
and if you dare to dream
of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me
how old you are.
I want to know
if you will risk
looking like a fool
for love
for your dream
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me
what planets are
squaring your moon…
I want to know
if you have touched
the centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals
or have become shrivelled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know
if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know
if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you
to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us
to be careful
to be realistic
to remember the limitations
of being human.
It doesn’t interest me
if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear
the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know
if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live
or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me
who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me
where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know
what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know
if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like
the company you keep
in the empty moments.
