The Heart Speaks no. 2~Welcoming... Alice... One Embrace... Rain from the Heart... Other Side

Words arising in a month of silence and solitude, two years ago... I still am listening... "why not"...

why not
rather than
fearful ~
even if arises again, later ~
of what might happen

why not
be enthused
about what good
is about to happen

this shift from
constriction of spaciousness
to opening even further

why walk
looking to the ground
when the Sky waits your smiling gaze

takes only
this one moment
one moment

then

see
what happens

storms
sent by Grace
rain pearls
eyes cannot see
only heart can believe

and

sometimes
a storm
ominous and loud
is not real

anyway

only
the rain
the pearls

and

a pearl
in the glittering Pure Life
is worth more than
a myriad in the hand

and

rain from the heart
refreshing, glistening at your every turn
is worth more than
all the droplets onto the ground

so

hope without clinging to hope
pray with grateful love
see with the Beloved's eyes
relax

for

a planted seed
tended well
becomes, by Grace, a dream come true

and
remember
to pray and hope
for what you have never dreamed for

for

the loveliest gifts, unseen and unthought,
lie waiting to be summoned by trust
from the Heart of all hearts

Pray to beyond what you most deeply wish for, for beyond lies possibilities and blessings you have not and cannot begin rightly to esteem, for them you cannot even 'see.' Pray from and into that unknown, for there in potential is fulfillment that remains always prior to longing itself.
