Opening the door of my Life
At the turning of my 40th year on this Earth
I proceeded through a fundamental shift in
My way of walking this planet.
I slowly and gradually released from my heart all
That I once was and all that I knew
Fear inhabited my heart
Till my lips quivered and
My knees trembled
Though my brave heart soldiered on.
I walked the mighty desert starving of thirst
I climbed the mountaintop to behold the view
I laid down in the muddy valley
Unable to rise.
All the while knowing I was opening the door to my
Life.
To my soul.
Reconciling that I must manifest what I knew in my heart to be truth
That I must walk the daily walk of abiding by my knowings
Each and everyday
If I were to reach my destination of peace on Earth
That harmony and grace would not be known in me
Until I was right with my world
Onward I did travel
My weapons were grounded in my
Triumphant spirit
And my Glory in my wild and oozing Heart.
My heart flows like a mighty rushing river
And my soul sings out through my mouth
Like a blue jay whistling Truth.
My body flies like an Eagle
Grace has entered my Life.
