Where would you have me go?
What would you have me do?
What would you have me say?
And to whom?
Where would you have me go?
What would you have me do?
What would you have me say?
And to whom?
And what if it were not all up to the thinking mind?
What if I told you,
You had permission to lay down what was heavy and to surrender completely to this divine and loving universe?
Stories become loud and walls present themselves that keep us from listening and seeing the essence that lies within.
The light of your internal guidance and knowing.
I invite you,
Even if it's just for this moment,
To close your eyes and to listen.
Perhaps place one or both hands on top of your heart.
I invite you to take the sense of sight and sound deep within.
Surrender dear one.
Surrender and know that you are safe within the cavity of your chest and the rise and fall of your diaphragm.
I invite you to reflect upon this journey that has been and continues to be your exquisite life.
Every twist and every turn that led you to this now moment.
Was it all planned out?
Was it all expected?
I invite you to remember that these ineffable destinations don't always come from putting it down in a calendar or looking at a map.
It is when we take the gaze inside we are able to see that internal compass always waiting there to guide.
Beautiful soul,
I invite you to reflect upon all of the accomplishments and all of the times in between.
All that you have done as you continue to author this most beautiful story that is your life.
With every letter,
With every word,
With every paragraph and every page,
It is perfectly imperfect just as it needs to be.
There is beauty in the imperfection.
I invite you to reflect upon the moments of allowing yourself to just be.
Putting the doing aside and remember how you were then able to be guided by the whispers of the soul.
I invite you to remember your song.
The outward expression of your own soul.
This language in which you express yourself comes in many forms.
That of spoken tongue,
That of softening gaze,
That of harmonious melodies bursting forth from your very heart,
That which goes beyond words.
Do you know how very precious your existence is,
Dear one?
Every step that you have taken and everywhere you have gone has touched every being you have come into contact with.
Every mindful action and every purposeful pause has altered the existence of each of those souls you have touched.
Every moment you have allowed yourself to listen has guided you to where you are right now.
Hands over your heart,
Landing in breath,
In skin and in bone.
What if it were not all up to the thinking mind?
What if I told you you had permission to lay down what was heavy and to surrender completely to this divine and loving universe?
Surrender,
Dear one,
And know that the universe has a plan for you.
Keep listening,
Beautiful soul.
Keep listening and you will find your way.
Noise has taken over once again and I am called to listen.
Father Sky,
Where would you have me go?
My wings are strong and ready to fly.
Through your wind whisper,
I will take heed.
Mother Mountain,
What would you have me do?
Though my feet may be calloused and my hands tired,
I am here to serve.
I am here to give.
I am also now ready to receive.
Brother and Sister Wolf,
What would you have me say and to whom?
I speak the language of the trees,
Of the river,
And of the rocks.
Please guide me so these songs may roll off of my tongue and into the infinite hearts of the universe.
I am listening.
I am listening.
