This home of Love

I gave away my authority

to the mind and the senses.

Instead of keeping them in check

as obedient servants

I let them run wild

returning to me 

with false information and lies.

I now take back my authority.

I rein in the wild horses of 

mind and senses 

I stable them close to my heart.

Instead of their incessant whittering

I heed the constant, quiet pulse 

of my own heart

emanating from awareness and knowing.

The world is not ‘out there’

to be sorted out and fixed

It is within me

complete, perfect and whole.

I know Love alone

is constant, durable, unending, forgiving.

I place my confidence in Love alone.

It will not fail.

No matter how believable,

the mind and senses cannot provide constancy, completion

they dwell in a world of impermanence

ever moving and changing.

For a long time

I have wandered in the world

seeking to attain

to know, to become

seeking to get what I lack

all the while moving further away

from my true home.

Now I come home knowing

there is no lack

there is nothing to attain

there is nothing to know.

The home I wandered from

is where the answers lie

simple and straightforward.

This home of Love

is where I belong

where I choose to dwell

where I am completely myself

pure, perfect, free.

There is no lack

there is nothing to attain.

Let go of doubt and self-criticism

bring them close

let them sit by the fireside

to be complete in themselves.

Fear is stirred up

in the world of mind.

Let mind go,

come home to Love,

to awareness.

Fear cannot exist here

where confidence, acceptance,

generosity abound.

This home of Love  

is where I belong

where I choose to dwell

where I am completely myself

pure, perfect, free.
