June 2009

A spark, an inkling, an urge, a knowing.
What is it saying?
What does it want from me?
I am busy, far too busy to listen.
I must run, scowl, bicker and be unhappy,
because I know the pattern.
It persists; for God’s sake leave me alone.
For God’s sake, it will keep at me.
For something inside screams to be let loose.
Light demands that I look now,
look another way, see another road.
Laugh out loud, change.
Her name is Grace,
Divine, gentle, calling me to join in the dance.
I do not know the steps,
I have always been off-beat, unbalanced.
Listen, feel the pulse and change the rhythm.
This is a new dance of freedom.
This is the journey home revealed.
I have woken up to another reality.
The hurt goes, the pain passes and I realise,
I am not suffering anymore.
Love has entered, not by me pursuing it,
but as a natural state when all is cleared away.
An overwhelming presence invades me,
A gentleness so inviting calls me home.
A humility of such grandeur invites me to dance,
To bring me into the Light,
Into the Oneness of belonging.
Awakening to Grace is Awesome.
