Do you feel me thinking of you
I knew
A long time ago
But I won’t tell you yet
For fear of shattering your fragile cocoon
You, my dear, are about to break into flight!
But no one can tell the caterpillar
Held tight — trapped even — in his silken nest
His body liquefying, parts moving
(Unbeknownst to him
Building something completely new)
That soon he will burst forth
Into his own vibrant dance
Communing with the wind
Into the life he was meant to live
I will be there when you emerge
And I will tell you
Then
growth
It Scares Me, Too
Authenticity
Will the blood drain out of you
Will you run dry, freeze
Turn blue?
No
Why does It scare you so?
Reality a million different things
So take One Genuine Moment
Let the mask you wear fall off your face and smash into jagged pieces
Leave them there on the floor shouting after you as you walk away
Today you can be Great
Watch your tightened fist release
Drop the Preconceived
Stop your wiggling, restless fingers from their insanity —
Perpetuating ideas of control you once bought into
Cementing your self-fulfilling prophecy
No more
See your Expectations vanish back into the world of illusion
Step fully into the richness of This Moment
The one you feared
Why does it scare you so?
The ebb and flow
You know by now life is this and it is that
Both
Give me Authenticity
Give that to me and nothing else
I will drink in your pain, your joy
You ugliness or laughter
But let it be the truth of what is in you
Authentic together — we will know Divine Presence
Which has to do only with
The very breath you ride at this moment
Now
