Peel away! Part 2

Peel away the layers
of who I think I am
to see what is real
at the core.

No longer a daughter
there goes one layer.
No longer a child, a teen.
So many layers I have shed
over the years
without knowing
without minding.

When I am no longer
a mother, a sister, a wife,
a friend
who will I be?

Find out now!
Before these layers peel away.
Find out now
what is real
at the core.

What are you saying to yourself?

Be ever vigilant
to what power you are giving your thoughts!
Do you really want to hand over power
to a wild, ranging,
butterfly-mind?
Be careful of self-talk.
What are you saying to yourself?
What words are you putting
into the ether?

Dissolve

Dissolve
dissolve all external parts
characteristics, beliefs, opinions
collected over the years
consciously and unconsciously.

Dissolve
all attributes that claim to be me.
I will not disappear
I will be more free
less burdened
lighter, cleaner, more authentic.
I will not disappear
only those external parts
claiming to be me.

Dissolve
all of this
until what remains is
pure, fresh, open, curious
delighting, loving.

Dissolve
into the light of
pure knowing, pure being.

Dissolve
until all collected accoutrements
are washed away
until all that is left is a
clean, pure heart
a personification of love
limitless love, pure being.

Freefall

And this is how it is
how it actually is.
Welcome to the world of
wakefulness
step out of delusion
and into the light.

Welcome to freefall.
This is what you have been
turning your back on
doing your best to avoid.
Creating a busy life
when all the time
Life was tapping you on the shoulder, saying
‘here I am!’
Welcome to the world of not knowing
beyond mind.
What appears to be
an unfathomable chasm
is reality as it is.

Beyond the mundane
beyond the everyday
beyond knowing.
Welcome to freefall.

This path

There isn’t a particular way
to walk this path.

It only emerges
with each footstep
touching the ground.

Even those who have gone before
can only indicate the way
not walk it for you.

You can only meet the path
by walking it.

What are these tears washing away?

What are these tears washing away?
Cleansing the heart
for something new and fresh
creating new channels
for love to flow.

What are these tears washing away?
Until the answer
shows itself
keep on crying
keep on cleansing

There is much
dead wood and garbage
to wash away.
