Re-Awakening

~

Life is a constant series of awakenings,

Beginning again,

Having a fresh go at it.

~

~

Every dawn brings with it a fresh opportunity

for happiness,

Every season another cycle of growth.

~

~

The old and finished falls away,

Duff, always feeding the soil of creativity. 

~

~

The new bursts into becoming,

Being, finding its own way.

~

~

The roots may grow old,

But the leaf and blossom

Continually re-new themselves.

~

~

Cloaked in pristine promise,

After slumber, comes a new awakening.

“The universe is always delivering to us

what we need

for a spiritual awakening.”

“The world is exploding in emerald, sage,

and lusty chartreuse – neon green with so much yellow in it.

It is an explosive green that,

if one could watch it moment by moment throughout the day,

would grow in every dimension.”

“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression,

it must come completely undone.

The shell cracks, its insides come out

and everything changes.

To someone who doesn’t understand growth,

it would look like complete destruction.”

Meaning is only found

when you go beyond meaning.

Life only makes sense

when you perceive it as mystery

and it makes no sense

to the conceptualizing mind.”

“Waking up from a deep sleep,

I always seem to be discovering life

for the first time.”

“A single event

can awaken within us

a stranger totally unknown to us.

To live is to be slowly born.”

not to tell you how to dream better.”
