Letter To My Soul: I Want To Feel Everything
Prayer and praise
are the foundation of this self I am building.
Purity and awareness.
I remember again
how to cultivate love for myself.
I am all I have-
bones of star dust,
blood of ink,
skin of Birch bark,
and eyes of the sun burning fire in the sky.
I understand the power of my breath now.
This body, I chose,
to merge my spirit and soul.
Consciousness.
What does this mean to me?
Consciousness is presence,
and awareness of the divine,
is connection with self.
Consciousness is acceptance of truth.
I am, and that is.
I sit taller now
in acknowledgement
to my body temple,
and the Great Spirit that is guiding me.
Creator knows the sound of my voice,
has heard me sing
when the rest of the world was silent.
Gratitude.
Because nothing is by mistake.
Stillness of body
and silence of mind.
The wind blows through me now.
My heart is open,
I want to feel everything.
I wouldn't write a word different
if I intended that no one would ever see this.
Truth.
It's a place that holds no weight.
Truth set me free.
Pain.
I have learned to not fear.
I want to feel everything.
I want to feel it deep,
into the unknown.
It's always a two way street.
Pain, and infinite love.
Expanding,
becoming every inch of space and time.
Love that sets the soul ablaze-
I want to feel everything.
I will love from these places.
You.
Myself.
Everything.
Love is my protection,
my armor, mi amor.
Highest self comes from these places
of purest love
and most hollow pain.
Pain that takes the mind to evil places.
Love that transmutes black holes into galaxies.
Here I learned how absolutely infinite space is,
feels.
Oneness.
Becoming everything.
I am a star in the cosmos,
and a drop in the oceans of the universe.
I am the fire that burns in the core of Earth.
I have so much left to learn.
I don't know much at all,
but I know I want to feel everything.
