A late night Monday Offering...Healing...

The path of healing
can feel lonely 
desolate


We often walk blindly
hoping
hoping 
hoping
but not being able to ask
for what it is we are hoping for
And often we find ourselves
back to a place where we have been before
and we say...
why am I back here?
why am I looking at this again?
haven't I faced this already?
we don't see that each time we return
we have more to offer
and each time we go back in
the wound is that much cleaner

I want to tell you...
Healing is a delicate process
that never ends
These are the things
we aren't taught by those
who would not have us think for ourselves

It is on going

which ever way you look at it

the journey of healing
never ends....
and this is a good thing
It is a steady
A faithful companion
that will not leave our side

I want to tell you
that healing has no time line
no statue of limitations
no schedule
o

Healing does not care how much you weight
Healing does not care about the clothes you wear
or the car you drive
Healing does not care about the colour of your skin
or how much you have in your back account
or if you have a bank account at all
Healing only cares about you finding your way
back Home

What Healing does ask of you
is that you show up
that you play a part
that you do the work
that you say what you mean
and mean what you say

It asks that you listen
but not the surface kind of listening
It wants the deep listening
that comes when one is stalking their shadows
that is present when one has surrendered
that develops when the words are wispered
"I trust you"
"I am ready"

Healing wants you to be brave
too find the warrioress within
and hold strong your staff
and lift high your light
rooting into your knowing
reaching up to the Truth
hearing Spirit in the breeze
finding Mary by the waters
seeing the face of God
in all that is around you.

because
Healing
knows
you
can

Healing to you my lovelies...
whatever it is that ails your wounded hearts
Healing to you

Love and Light

    1. as always
      I LOVE your honesty my friend!

      yes it is a challenge
      but nothing good came from not living....no?

      showing up takes a level of bravery and courage,
      but I know we are equipped to do so
      it is our birth-right
