In this wholeness where I am known

In this wholeness where I am known

Let me be still enough

To feel the beating of a heart

So full of love

That knows now

It is strong enough to stand alone

An inner voice Just said

You have been chosen for a far larger journey

Than just one human life can contain

You are both a continuation of ancestors

And a soul that is free

Now that you have glimpsed the huge journey

That led to here

In this simple quiet moment of stillness

All life is laid before you

Far and wide and wild and huge and deep

Utterly mysterious

A ocean carpet of stars laying unfurled at your feet

The true journey does not lie in outward goings

But in deep inward turnings

In restless imaginings

Vast revolutions that you make

Climbing both up and down

The soul’s staircase

A serpent’s cadeucus

Birthing wisdom out of pain

As you twist and turn

Facing then turning way from memories

Longings

And deeper intimations

Of other journeys taken

And feelings felt

By your ancestors

That led to here

You my dear are the witness

A birther of a knowing

Few could encompass

With a shallower awareness

So hold fast to the truths

You sense deep in your heart

In these quiet and exquisitely precious moments

In which wisdom is revealed

With the shedding of fears

Misunderstandings

And tears
