So Beautiful

So sweetly 

So quietly compassionate

You teach the willingness to be vulnerable

You acknowledge the stunning interconnectedness

Between our humanness and our divine dimensions

You leave the time and space for the authentic to emerge

You emerge from within the smaller story

And shatter it into ripples that go out

Into all of us;

The wounded healer continues to open up

Remembering, returning and reclaiming

Inside the mother's womb was the first wound

Out of the blindness came the see er

For the first time she was the mother

The light pouring through her

Everything she/we judged she/we become

And was suffering and angry

Then enjoyed compassion

And with the joy of forgiving innocent blindness

Tears filled my eyes and

What has been rejected was seen anew

A tremendous wave of forgiveness

Opened up inside of me

And makes me wonder what layers

Are waiting

Deep calls to deep

And all the Divine's waves and breakers

Have swept over you

I trust, as you call for,

Over the "cavernous drop" I know so well

Knowing that my reaching out is not perilous

Trust that you belong to an endless loving awareness
