Fear.
We accumulate it
Store it
Hoard it-
In the end
Life will change us
By its crashing waves.

This December night
Where winter waits in the winds
Our scars define
Our power to survive
Our wounds give us form
Shape us with fierce compassion
Weaving heaven and earth in our bones.
Be still and know
You are that which you desire to be.
Welcome the Light’s Return.
The natural life span of an emotion-
90 seconds.
Our thoughts give it eternity
Allowing it to drive the hamster’s wheel.
The space between impulse and action…
A quarter of one second-
The place or space to choose.
Interrupt the cycle of compulsion.
Each moment a paradox
Every door an invitation
The mountains sustain us
The summit only a momentary passing.
Accept this moment
As if you have chosen it.
Be come the witness
Observe your balance
See what pulls you off
What moves you in.
Stay with your intention
When you bump up against
A construction of your making.
Return to your intention.
For we are not inspired towards change
Unless we witness it in stillness.
Aware of the flow of waves
In the great blue sea.
Restore us to memory
As the new ones begin to stir
We continue to kindle the hearth
To preserve the flame
For we are forged from stardust
The light of the heavens-
We are filled by ancient cultures
Who lifted their eyes beyond.
Transform your relationship with fear
It is only a compass-
Alerting us to the border of change.
Dance with those areas that frighten you.
Hear the music in the wind beyond
Move into the Light.
How does one block fear?
How does one stop the wind…
Drop your hand into the stream
As the water passes by.
Enter your day
As if discovering a new world.
Seeking the mysterious story
That becomes yours.
Like a root mining for water
Move towards what sustains you,
Discovering in that moment peace
All of us carry a story
Yet yearn to be free of the burden.
We are responsible for our feelings
Using them as an excuse
To keep from the joy we “don’t deserve.”
No one can injury your truth.
Forgive those that make us aware of our pain.
What holds you back
Becomes a doorway to enlightenment.
