It is open....walk on through

Always in motion is the future.
YODA, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
 
We all eventually reach that moment
when
today meets tomorrow
the past holds us back
but the future beckons us onward.
 
We stand at the entrance to a whole new world
the gate is open
possibility beckons
and
yet
we stand there
gazing with eyes shaded by the lenses of the past
processing analytical intellectual thoughts
academic mind games
all
the while
our heart beats
and
yearns to overcome the fear
that holds us back
it beats with the thrill of possibility
hopeful that tomorrow
will
be the day
when my feet move forward
into all that is possible.
 
I stand in silence
and
 muster up the courage to move forward
through the gate of time into tomorrow
where
dreams
can
and
will come true
and
we
can
be birthed into the actualization of all that
we
can
be.
 
Come on!!!!
The Universe Beckons
the Gate to tomorrow is Open
and
it is
up to us
to enter
a whole new world.
I'm walking through....
don't just stand there....
 
come on---let's see what tomorrow holds.
 
On this Monday Evening
when
my feed burner continues to be down...
and I don't know how to fix it.
i stand at the gate of possibility
and
say
goodnight.
See you tomorrow.
 
Hugs and Blessings

A Bit of Love Dew....

Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'Cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

I'm shedding
Shedding every color
Trying to find a pigment of truth
Beneath my skin

'Cause different
Doesn't feel so different
And going out is better
Than always staying in
Feel the wind
"Come Clean (let The Rain Fall Down)"



Confusion rushes over me.
My Spirit is parched,
longing, searching, hoping
and
needing a
bit of
something 
perhaps a small electric charge to rejuvenate me,
or
a cool drop of water to sooth my heart wounds.

I walk along,
passing the streams of my past,
none of it looks clean anymore,
nothing seems to appeal to my hearts longing
and yet
I find
that I keep looking for you...even
when there a moments of my day,
when
all I want to do is run away and pretend I never knew you.
I scream those silent screams in my head
and I wonder if you can really hear me...
They say...you know who they are...
that YOU hear everything,
know everything.
Is that true?

I search for you all over again,
even after I tell you good-bye
I seek you
like a
child who has lost her favorite doll,
I look at the sky,
I touch the ground and dig all around in the middle of that
dusty earth
from which we were derived,
atoms of time already passed,
former cells of hope and life and love,
now just clay
waiting for reformation.

My soul feels as parched as the earth,
and
yet I walk,
walk,
and search
longing for you
just as that deer of the Psalmist longed for water.

I stop for just a moment
and calm the chatter in my head,
I center myself and go deep inside....
and
in the silence
I feel the wind blow against my steamy skin,
refreshment of sort,
and
as suddenly as I begin to believe that you are no longer there,
from out of nowhere
deep inside,
a
tiny midst begins to fall all around,
it hits my head
and
 slowly runs down
an
anointing of sort,
 but for what I ask?
I can almost smell the clean crisp smell of new life forming somewhere deep in the crevices of my heart...

These love drops they run over me,
cool me,
and
suddenly
I realize
there you are...once again
right here..
right inside,
all around
even in the air I breath.

Refreshment,
tiny bits of God's Love Dew
wash over
my parched Spirit
baptize my
wounded heart,
cleanse me of the hurt
and
I
stand
revived,
spirit renewed
and
together we walk forward
into
the Mystery of Life.


May The Spirit of the Universe
Refresh the Parched places of your Soul on
this steamy Monday
and
for just a moment,
a tiny fragment of time because that's really all we can take in....
let it run over you
and
give
your burning heart
drink.

Hugs
and
blessings


written the day after Pentecost 2011
hope the Spirit will help me soar to new heights
