Don't you feel it -- how we are creating
a whole new way forward together, blending
colors the world has never seen
in a way that is dynamic and
passionately authentic?
We are taming the old egoic ways run rampant
without tempering the wild beauty of our souls.
We are making a masterpiece of love
that takes the full contribution
of the both of us.
I know you may be new to this and it feels
unfamiliar, exciting and terrifying all at once
and as if you are losing all control.
I understand it all so well
and I have lived it, too.
You are moving, as you always do, at the speed
of light, and I have had so many years, so long
of waiting to see and know that I can trust
this love that runs between us,
a river overflowing.
There is no room for doubt, for my eyes
have been opened through the heart and there is
no more not seeing what is plain to see.
Now I feel the realization and the shuddering,
shaking of your foundation
I know the breaking down and the emerging
and all the ways things fall apart,
the disruption and loss. Know this:
as you open your palms, all that is true
will remain and all else fall away.
All that is of God cannot be removed
and need not be grasped or clutched, fought for
or insisted upon. There is no law or obligation,
no prescribed way ordained by manmade rules
that can put asunder what is true .
I trust you to know what you know
and I will love you in the choosing.
Whatever you choose and whenever you come
to know all you know, I will send you gentleness
and lovingkindness.
It may feel like sacrifice, as if you
are being stripped of all you are, but all
that is true will remain with you. Hold your heart
and know you can tap our timeless truth anytime
and rest in the love that awaits.
You are stronger than you know
as is this flow of love between us.
