Cultivate

Cultivate your trust

Make firm your inner belief

And know the path will rise

That your mind will find relief

 

Cultivate your sight

To see what’s not in view

Let intuition guide

Revealing what is true

 

Cultivate your heart

And love all that you are

This journey starts with you

Create your own boudoir

 

Cultivate your faith

And honour your divine

The spirit of the self

Should be your only shrine

 

Cultivate your voice

Make heard the words inside

And lift the veils high

The truth you sought to hide

In the space between spaces

In the space between spaces

My love fills the void

And my silent learnings

Make me whole

As I stand

Back to back with

My differences fusing

And healing

My forgotten pain

 

In the space between spaces

I remember

My soulful pact

He whispers…

Brushing my cheek

Gently moving my hair

He whispers…

 

Words that we shared

Of all that could be

He whispers…

 

Stroking my back

Down the length of my spine

He whispers…

 

Drawing me close

Into the depths of his heart

He whispers…

 

Reminding me of a time

When the earth did stand still

He whispers…

 

Memories of deep love

Of our pact made as souls

He whispers…

Everyone else is taken

The hand you’re dealt on being born

The transience of this spread

Just circumstance; it’s nothing more

The Universal thread

 

Which path? Only you can discern

With your compass of freewill

Believe you’re perfect as you are

Taking stock, by standing still

 

Do you feel the odds are stacked

In other people’s favour?

A battle between your heart and mind

Will always make you waiver

 

Oscar Wilde said it once

His words are not mistaken

You can only ever be yourself

As everyone else is taken

Our Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

Our presence automatically liberates others.
