OUR JOURNEY

There is a journey awaiting you
It comes in truth and promise
When you reach the point 

of not knowing who you are or where to go
This most precious but often painful passage 

is the journey of yourself
You will travel to places never before visited,
Where you meet unspoken fears and unearth buried truths
You will climb high and perilous mountains...
those that rise up from inside yourself

You will explore forgotten waters held deep in the sea of your soul
You will be stranded in the wilderness 

and find a way through pathless land
You will be lost before you are found...

You will be empty before you are full
You will cry the deep sobs of the earth
and tears of rain will cleanse the house around your heart
In time...because life, like birth and death, knows its own time
Your fears and struggles and unknowing will be transformed
You will become a mountain place where eagles soar
You will become a reflecting pool
which sees and knows the mysteries of your life

Your heart will be light like a butterfly
as you follow the currents of its true desires
The flight of the honeybee will be yours
as you seek the nectar of what brings sweetens to your daily life
Most of all you will become who you truly are
Your life will hold truth and promise and meaning
And the heart of the heavens will hold your heart.
