Today feels like a day I could spread my wings and fly away to a far off land that flows with warm Caribbean waters and smells of rich earth.There is so much here that I am grateful for, and yet a still small song of the adventure lures me. Living in the beauty of this moment is a practice I am yet learning. Every day I must lay down my self, look to the divine purpose, and open my hands to receive.
Being grateful in whatever circumstances is not a virtue our culture extols. We are told to strive harder for the pleasure of our wants, to look for the next bend in the road of our own plans. Life will speed up into a blur if I don't slow down to breathe in the amazing beauty of each experience I find myself in. All seem to be choices I make, but the hidden mystery is the guiding hand in each step, gently wooing me to a deeper understanding of myself and my True Love.
For when you fly away, you take your heart with you. You find the ecstasy of your new surroundings are only the perception of what your heart sees. I want to open the eyes of my heart to really see what is within which will then transpose into the song of the outer.
I will fly in my heart
To a place that belongs
Only to me and mine
A refuge from the past
Safety from harm
New joy and life sublime
What wonder I'll see
What truth will behold
For there I will know
The love of my life
His beauty of old
True Heart to show
