Take Time to Be Alone

Your heart needs space to soar.
Your mind needs places
Without walls to wander
And time by itself
. . . To see its own reflection.

Give them this Gift.
And they will bring back to you
The freedom they find,
Filled to the brim with bright new possibilities.

Be patient with yourself.
It takes practice to perfect doing nothing,
Not that this Work isn't native to your soul.
Only that so much of us is so busy trying to be something
We have become distracted and have forgotten being whole.

So, take time to be alone.
Feel everything, but be no one.
Dip yourself in this Nothingness.
Throw yourself in and then,
Listen to the sound of no bottom.

And do not fear such aloneness.
What you call falling is flying
. . . Once you let go of being afraid.

Key Lesson: Once living within the limits of what is known is also realized as being the limitation of your spiritual possibilities, then there is no recourse other than to depart the safety of all that you have been in favor of discovering all that you are yet to be.
