Untie your silky robe.
The night awaits you,
Bare-skinned,
Glowing as you are.
It is not dark,
No,
Not this time.
Tonight the sky is full of stars.
You do not need your thoughts or words now,
So leave them reclining in the corner.
Slide into the comfort of your own embrace in other arms,
Arms that allow life to become pregnant with you again.
Breathe easy as hands caress your scars,
Your light,
As fingertips celebrate your battles,
Your victories,
As lips drink in your humanness and simultaneously surrender to what in you is holy,
Intimately divine.
How often are you loved the way you know you deeply long to be loved?
How often do you love the way you know you burn to love another?
How often do you experience love as the one persistent force unifying your polarities,
Making of yourself an implosive ever now?
Rest under the silver gaze of the moon,
Beneath the spindly trees.
Feel blessed by the spontaneity of each living moment.
Walk where you have never been before,
Beyond the bounds of the heroic,
Past every day and night of your spirit.
Find out what awaits across the threshold of the known after saying,
I am here,
To yourself,
To life,
To everything that wants and needs you.
Look inside now,
Deep inside the waters of your heart,
Near to the core of your being,
And stay there for a moment.
Take a breath and tell me,
Tell me from the honest aching depths of who you are,
What would happen?
What would happen if you allowed yourself,
For once,
To receive the love you yearn for?
And what would happen?
Who would you become if you gave away,
For once,
The love you know you need to give?
And what,
What if then,
In between the loving,
The giving,
And the receiving,
You became truly free to experience and live as the one self,
Inhabiting this universe,
Limitless,
Boundless,
Effulgent,
Alive?
Untie your silky robe,
The night awaits you,
Bare-skinned,
Glowing as you are.
It is not dark,
No,

You do not need your thoughts or words now,
So leave them,
Reclining in the corner.

Arms that allow life to become pregnant with you again.
Breathe easy as hands caress your scars,
Your light,
As fingertips celebrate your battles,
Your victories,
As lips drink in your humanness and simultaneously surrender to what in you is wholly,
Intimately divine.

You became truly free to experience and live as the one self inhabiting the universe,
Limitless,
Boundless,
Effulgent,
Alive?
