...longing...

There is an aching and a longing deep inside...

sometimes it is a soft whisper i hear faintly carried on the wind

other times it is the deep bone aching moan or howl that echoes from deep within....

it comes from that forgotten place we all have inside

the place we fear to tread, for it would mean standing up to all our greatness and power

it would mean a letting go and a surrendering of the stories and dramas we create to keep ourselves small

it would mean stepping into the spaces where we hold our deepest and most secret pains and losses

the faces we do not dare show the world for fear of the pain and truth that hides within them

there is a calling and a longing heard by many

its a stirring and an awakening of a truth that we have long been suppressing

the time has come to head this call, to journey to those forgotten places

where we can free ourselves from the past

where we acknowledge and love our darkness

and the broken splintering pieces within

so we may again become whole

finding our true essence

letting our inner lights shine

this is my journey into that place...
