When everything is stripped away

Distractions, people, jobs, relationships, health, illusions

So that all that is left is space.

To rest

To feel the yearning

To listen

To really hear

To go to the depths of the heart

and return home

To listen to the guidance of what is required next on the journey of remembering.

To embody love and access inner strength

This process isn't easy

It cannot be rushed

It hurts like hell

It is uncomfortable and scary at first

It takes trust and courage

And then with time

It becomes

Joy

A humbling

A gift

A new awareness that isn't taken for granted

Peace.
