Coming upon the Light

In the dark of night
I walked through the desert
And came upon the light.

The Elders welcomed me
Opening their circle,
Each of them calling my name,
Chanting: come inside.
It is time to use your gifts.

I entered the crucible
Giving myself to the fire
Opening my heart,
I received what had been waiting.
I formed the image wanting to be born,
I breathed life into it.
I held it again my heart
And spirit entered
Chanting the sacred writings.
Tears washed me clean
And blessed my offering
To the world.

Now
Somewhere
Someone is kneeling
At my shrine
Praying
Ancient words of wisdom

Listen
Listen to what stirs inside you
Right now
Be still
Surrender and let yourself
Be healed in the song of Love
I sing for you.
