It is almost always out in nature that I get sudden intuitive feelings about what to write. A couple of days ago, whilst gazing at the river after an incredible Tantra massage, I felt so open and receptive and the following lines were literally urging me to write them!
Arrival
What will it take for you to finally get into your numb little skull that –
You’re already THERE?
Yes right there – the exact spot in which you are currently standing
is THE place
for which you were intended.
But I’m not yet rich?
Or famous?
Or skinny?
Or successful?
I hear you say.
I haven’t bought a house
got married
had children
owned a cockatiel
bought a camper van
or eloped to Outer Mongolia…
I am not as clever/funny/artistic/inspiring/confident as….(insert a friend’s name here)
For Goodness sake!
Maybe you will be one day. And maybe you won’t ever be.
And your hypotheses and comparisons are all beside the point quite frankly.
For the point is that RIGHT NOW
is your destiny
The precise instant in which you gaze your forgivably cynical eyes upon this text
is YOUR MOMENT!
Do you feel the Spring breeze skipping across your sacred cheeks?
Do you hear the birds wolf-whistling at your beautifully imperfect human soul?
Can you feel the invigorating whoosh of your Heart’s Falls as you surge beyond the most ruthless of rocks?
The charging forth of your undeniable, vulnerable magnificence?
You are loved, do you know that?
Loved, needed, held, desired and cherished much more than you may ever even realise.
Unless, of course, you choose to pause for a millisecond and catch your glory
in the cool mirroring of the
river’s revelation
one miraculously sunny afternoon
and let yourself
be
clearly
seen
Yes! There you are.

I could reasonate with the whole…”but I am not this, or that, or I don’t have this or that or there yet” and the whole message of the now being what is important.
