Ascent

Back to the Void

I have seen the path you cut down through the trees

I watch from the vantage point I’ve ascended to

You look up at me from below

I point to give the safest path to follow

Find the trust and love in your heart that guide your steps

Forget and leave the tools that do not serve you

Trust your hands to make the tools that will bring you higher

Let go of the patterns that will not serve you

Open yourself to the love of the universe

Remember the journey made here happened by your guidance

Washed up in the desert

The monsoon beats down upon you

Skies will clear and there will be sun for days

Remember the water, remember the rain, remember the strikes of lightning.

Prepare for dry days ahead.

Keep the rain in your pockets in case you need them again

Find the blessings in all things

You cannot prepare for everything

Accept everything for what it is

Then you will ascend

Written with love to my dear friend … I hope I see you again.
