[The Void]
turning the tide
2007-04-18
Thunder rain, darkend streets...I turn to see the last of the sun rays.
I ask once more, but know I shouldn't...why must I say to good bye to these things?
Good bye to so much of my comfortable places, to old habits I used to get me through. To friendships while uncomfortable...provided enough clutter I didn't have to face the truth.
I turn around to see the clouds, where darkness is gaining strength. My path is so unknown to me, only felt...like a blind man I reach out. Knowing right now my eyes will fail me.
To look with them I will see what is false, or only shallow images of what I desire. To use them I can fool myself, and discard a path that seems to unapproachable...but to walk with no expectations...that is an art in itself.
I find myself short on the wisdom to know this route...but in admitting it I find the key to unlock that virtue. I hear it on the breeze, on the banks of the river near , just let go. Let go. Release and just be.
To take a fresh breath seems more precious than gold right now. I can't believe how long its been. To be me, in this place, in this body, in this moment...just to be...seems a goal so unreal. But its here, its really here! Just stretch out your hands, trust the path. You don't always need something to grasp while letting go.
I have done this once in my life, and I am asked again. Reach out, let go...breathe...just believe. I understand the emotional turmoil that has spewed on me in the last few weeks. I see the purging and the challenge to see if I can remain in my path, feet on the ground and face upheld toward the sky. Can you do it? I know you can...but this for me....seems like a new beginning. Just don't coward out...and back down.
Don't stand back when you should step forward, don't bail when you should hold strong. Don't turn away when you should look forward...don't be caught up in the what ifs or the validations. Take back the right to BE. The shining light that is for all kind, yet given nasty names when embraced. So they think your arrogant, or blind....well...sometimes the freedom to think is quite alright. Just don't forget to think for yourself~ and uphold what you sought so hard for.
