Exfoliation



Sometimes it feels like what I know
is just beyond my finger tips
The things I had
so firmly in my grasp
Securely they were tucked away 
into my pouch of knowledge
And some I cradled
in the palm of my hand
My heart swelled
with Divine Truth
A Truth I did not need to defend
or explain

And then it's gone
Vanishing before my very eyes
Leaving nothing but 
the sparkle of fairy dust behind
As if to remind me of what I once
had...but lost



Like a helium balloon whose string
has just slipped from my grasp
I run after it 
unable to reach the strings end
And I sadly watch it
as it move further and further away from me
until it eventually disappears from my view
I know it was there
I know it was real
But in this moment
there is nothing to prove it's existence
except for what is in my memories


These are the days when I slow right down
almost to a stop
I gather in what I know to be true
Even if I can't feel it in my soul,
I gather it in
I let the mud and mire fill my boots
I sink up to my knees
my hips
my waist
Movement is hard
but still possible
I don't know when or how I will be release
but I know I will

Even as it slips up around my throat
and eventually covers my head
I adjust
Divinely I shift to suit the environment around me
and I continue to move forward
ever so slowly, it would seem


For I am in  constant transformation
Metamorphosis is always taking place
And some season bring bigger changes
As is the season I find myself in now. 
It is the season to
Dig Deep
Slay Demons
Move Mountains
Cross Chasms
Stand Naked
Only to find out
The Deep has already been dug
The Demon, the Mountain and the Chasm
were all of my own design
and
to realize
I am always naked.
Nothing has left my grasp
My grasp was the very thing
that turned what I had
into fairy dust
giving the illusion
of It being gone



Do with out Doing

Live within the Fierce Stillness of your Soul

Let your Fire Burn freely

Be fully and completely your Wild Self

 theses are the messages
whispered to me as I exfoliate within the mud
words being etched onto my soul
stitched into my heart
while other words...
other mantras
are being removed.  

This month of April
I give to myself
as I am in
yet another
season of re-birth.

This month will be for me
to give to myself
what I need most
to nurture my heart
to hold my dreams
to tend to the wounds
and build on my strength.



This is the time
I wrap myself in my Divine love
and watch myself bloom

Love and Light
