In previous shared story recordings,
Loneliness,
Uncertainty,
And longing,
I talked about what meditation isn't about.
It isn't about denying or eliminating our feelings.
In this shared story,
I offer a gentle reminder of what meditation is about.
Meditation is about being where you are,
Holding space for what is,
And meditation is about being willing.
This is the shared story of becoming,
But really,
It is the shared story of being willing to become.
This is only the beginning of the story,
And it begins with a question.
Are you willing to let go of all that you are so that you may become all that you are meant to be?
There is no halfway,
No maybe,
There is no trying,
There is only a leap.
This is the leap to go beyond all leaps of faith.
No guarantees,
No promises that there is something better on the other side,
No assurances that it will be easy,
Or even that it will be exactly what you want and hope for.
There is only your truth and purpose and what is meant.
Breathe.
What are you willing to give up for what might be?
Are you willing?
Are you willing?
Will you take the risk?
Will you allow yourself to be vulnerable,
Not to others,
But to yourself,
To be the best of you?
And all that really means is,
Do you trust in your own potential?
This is the grand quest,
The ultimate adventure,
Not about success or money or fame,
But for your soul,
For the dream within the dream that is life.
Being human will be the hardest thing you ever do.
Will you leave everything you have to offer,
Lying spent on the field of life?
Will you go for it,
All of it,
No matter what it is?
This is the call,
This is the rallying cry,
This is the moment.
And I am with you,
I am with you.
I stand next to you on this edge,
This edge of the abyss of potential and possibility,
And I am ready.
Are you ready?
Let us leap,
Leap so that we may become.
Let go and leap.
Tumble with me among the stars and know that we are safe.
Trust.
Can you sense what awaits you?
Just a whisper,
A trickle of energy along your spine,
A shimmer of light at the edge of your vision,
A tingling at the base of your skull.
Magic.
Longing,
Ecstasy,
Allure and purpose.
Listening led me here.
Listening led me here.
Faith led me here.
To love.
Love.
I surrender everything I am to what is my truth and purpose.
Won't you join me?
Join me.
Come tumble among diamonds of hope in the dark of possibility.
Oh,
The tantalizing freedom of being untethered and utterly unsure.
Mine,
Yours.
Claim it.
Own it.
And let it be easy,
This becoming.
Yes,
Let's let it be easy to become.
Are you willing to let go of all that you are so that you may become all that you are meant to be?
Become.
For truly,
We,
You,
Are already magnificent.
For truly,
You are already magnificent.
