To answer our own heart's calling may be the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the world.
That which truly fulfills us becomes a gift to all as we then participate in the world from a place of fullness rather than lack.
I have been in motion - answering a deeper call of my own heart, that continues to unfold, which is to share myself more completely, vulnerably, freely and rejoicingly. This new weekly newsletter will now be about sharing those things which I hold most dear, most powerful, most fulfilling. This will of course include my heart’s music, and also poetry, writings, future gatherings and other ways to come together, Experience and Celebrate the Love that We Are.
I drafted a whole blog post, but it got a bit complicated and mental. Words do that sometimes, don’t they? They can easily take us out of the heart and into the head. I find that expressing my heart and the love that’s present is often a very direct and experiential process.
As you read the poem below, I invite you let yourself have a deeper experience of your own True, Expansive nature. If you’d rather just listen to me reading it with your eyes closed, you can also do that here...
You Are the Shining Star
A Poem for Experencing the Love that You Are
Beloved, let us not forget the love that we are,
For it’s the essence of our being, the shining star.
Amidst the chaos of this world, distractions abound,
And we forget to look inward, where true love is found.
Our ego takes the wheel and leads us astray,
We search outside for what is inside, day after day.
But deep inside us, a spirit resides,
A love that is unconditional, always abides.
A peace, a stillness, a joy and a fullness,
An all-encompassing presence, free of judgment and dullness.
Oh, how we long to experience this love,
To know we are precious, adored and more than enough.
To live from this place of knowing, to see beauty in all,
To awaken humanity, and answer love's call.
Let us love the parts of us that are in need of healing,
For it’s through this love that begins the revealing.
The hurtful, corrupt, the violent and hateful,
They too need this love, it's not too late, it's not fatal.
If we all got the love we need inside-out,
We would see no greed, abuse, violence, or doubt.
Beloved, let us not forget the love that we are,
For it’s the essence of our being, the shining star.
