I am not a drop...
I am from the source... The love of truth is me I can stay here in this exuberant forest! Remind me heart Press me... tug me... pull me back over and over again. The light of the world lies in the ability to Love... Yet to have a channel to receive, we must open it up... Crack it open to allow the flood of Love from the Universe to enter My unique Heart. What am I?
What is this breath? What are these movements thru my mind? These ideals... fears... beliefs? Am I... all of this? Am I the confusion and the chaos? Or is that me... the peace between it all...? That moment of space.... yes.... that feels more familiar. -chantel "Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours. You will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating only vegetables. When you really look for me, you will see me instantly- you will find me in the tiniest house of time. Kabir says: student tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath." -Kabir Love wants to reach out and manhandle us,
Break all our teacup talk of God. If you ahd the courage and Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights, He would just drag you around the room By your hair, Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world That bring you no joy. Love sometiems gets tired of speaking sweetly And wants to rip to shreds All your erroneous notions of truth That make you fight within yourself, dear one, And with others, Causing the world to weep On too many fine days. God wants to manhandle us, Lock us inside of a tiny room with Himself And practice His dropkick. The Beloved sometimes wants To do us a great favor: Hold us upside down And shake all the nonsense out. But when we hear He is in such a "playful drunken mood" Most everyone I know Quickly packs their bags and hightails it Out of town. Sometimes life picks us up in a whirlwind, our feet hover over the earth.... with trust knowing we can float and hover until the Universe finds us a place to ground, to connect and to take a deep breath, sit and reconnect to our self.
I have been floating for a while now.... and it's been the greatest gift of trust ever! My sister held me with such love that my body began to heal, I reconnected to my family in this vulnerable space, and my heart gathered so much love for the people around me in my life that I felt I could finally plant my feet down, fill my sweet belly up with a loving breath and settle. Moving into a new space, with wonderful people, receiving love and support from everyone around... teaching yoga to a beautiful welcoming community. Blessings!!! One of the greatest gifts I have received from my yoga practice is how to trust it all. If I can be calm, present and open when things become unsure, when things seem difficult, then my reactions come from a soft place of understanding, love and compassion for myself and those I come into contact with in my life :) I am forever grateful to every guru, teacher and student who has shared, taught and reflected to my heart! YOGA.... we are blessed!!! I came across these words that shot me straight in the heart. It was the exact truth my heart was speaking, but I wasn't listening :) Until I read this, it was easy to try to avoid the soft voice of my heart. What is it that I desire in the depths of my heart... and what keeps me from going there? FEAR :) it's always fear, we fear what we yearn for in our deepest heart! Thank you Jessie May from Sunny Side Up Radio! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jessie-may/2015/03/17/what-we-fear-is-what-we-desire
We are most afraid of that which we yearn for with great desire. Fear keeps our energy stuck. Yet when we realize that we can metabolize this energy, by feeling it, letting it breathe, honoring and releasing it with love, we recognize that the same powerful energy we've bound up inside is raring to ignite our heart's power. Our desire. To call forth all that we are most afraid of. To burn thru so that we may radiate bright. What we fear is what we desire. Repurpose the energy and ignite your heart fire! |
