\n<\/ins><\/p>\n
Do yourself a favor:<\/p>\n
Wake up<\/p>\n
Someday,<\/p>\n
And lie by the window<\/p>\n
From about 4 AM<\/p>\n
Thru full sunrise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Notice, watch, experience<\/p>\n
How light comes.<\/p>\n
How it washes over you so almost<\/p>\n
Imperceptibly<\/p>\n
Slowly,<\/p>\n
And washes away the darkness<\/p>\n
Absorbing it into itself, or simply<\/p>\n
Taking its place.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Go ahead.\u00a0 Be there here.<\/p>\n
Do yourself<\/p>\n
A favor<\/p>\n
And watch the light<\/p>\n
Become you<\/p>\n
And you<\/p>\n
Becoming the light.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you do<\/p>\n
You begin<\/p>\n
Taking form, shape,<\/p>\n
And shadows are revealed,<\/p>\n
And edges, and open spaces,<\/p>\n
And your favorite things,<\/p>\n
And an indescribable delicacy<\/p>\n
And sweetness comes,<\/p>\n
Sits with you, lies with you, crawls<\/p>\n
Right up next to you, and purrs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Little by little<\/p>\n
It touches everything,<\/p>\n
Blesses everything,<\/p>\n
And your eyes will adjust to seeing,<\/p>\n
And you will be so grateful for the windows<\/p>\n
In your life\u2014<\/p>\n
The clear ones<\/p>\n
Letting in the light.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It will not force itself in<\/p>\n
And yet it cannot be stopped.<\/p>\n
It just needs<\/p>\n
(and really, doesn\u2019t even need\u2014it wants)<\/p>\n
To be<\/p>\n
Received,<\/p>\n
Or, at very least,<\/p>\n
Surrendered to<\/p>\n
Eventually,<\/p>\n
And it likes to be received<\/p>\n
In praise, or, at very least,<\/p>\n
In wonder.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not because it needs praise<\/p>\n
But because it knows<\/p>\n
You need to be praising,<\/p>\n
For that is<\/p>\n
What it\u2019s doing here now<\/p>\n
With you.<\/p>\n
It<\/p>\n
Is praising<\/p>\n
You.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And<\/p>\n
If you are not careful, and<\/p>\n
Carefree,<\/p>\n
Once the light<\/p>\n
Establishes itself fully,<\/p>\n
And the dawn, the morning<\/p>\n
Comes fully,<\/p>\n
You might be tempted<\/p>\n
To cover your head<\/p>\n
With the pillow<\/p>\n
And regret doing this silly exercise,<\/p>\n
Because now<\/p>\n
You have to go to work soon,<\/p>\n
And now<\/p>\n
You will need extra coffee.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just remember—<\/p>\n
Through (out) the day–<\/p>\n
You were just revealed<\/p>\n
In light,<\/p>\n
Bathed in light,<\/p>\n
Kissed, blessed, washed,<\/p>\n
Manifested, assembled, formed,<\/p>\n
And loved<\/p>\n
In with by light.<\/p>\n
You were shown<\/p>\n
Who and what you are<\/p>\n
And how things will happen<\/p>\n
On the last day,<\/p>\n
And what it means<\/p>\n
To be baptized<\/p>\n
In spirit and truth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And if you close your eyes while this is happening,<\/p>\n
And just for a second drift back to sleep,<\/p>\n
And then catch yourself awake again,<\/p>\n
And open up your eyes again,<\/p>\n
You will see<\/p>\n
(Again and again)<\/p>\n
That those few precious few seconds<\/p>\n
Of your own self-induced darkness<\/p>\n
Disappear<\/p>\n
And you notice then even more now then<\/p>\n
That more light is with you,<\/p>\n
And smiling<\/p>\n
New horizons<\/p>\n
\u00a0Into you,<\/p>\n
Into your room,<\/p>\n
Into your mind,<\/p>\n
And of course, it is OK, and necessary<\/p>\n
To blink, and to rub<\/p>\n
Your eyes, and to sleep<\/p>\n
Just remember to do yourself a favor<\/p>\n
Someday<\/p>\n
Someday soon now<\/p>\n
Why not today now?<\/p>\n
Wake up<\/p>\n
And lie there<\/p>\n
As light comes to get to know you,<\/p>\n
And<\/p>\n
After being with<\/p>\n
The light\u2014<\/p>\n
Rise, if you can,<\/p>\n
Stretch, if you can,<\/p>\n
Reach, if you can—-be, if you can<\/p>\n
A trembling flower steady trembling flower fresh<\/p>\n
In the morning glory joy dancing trembling,<\/p>\n
And then, if you can, smile back<\/p>\n
At the light trembling in dance to see<\/p>\n
You.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then pause.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inhale the light<\/p>\n
Right<\/p>\n
Into you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No, it will not burn\u2014<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t that kind of light\u2014<\/p>\n
This is light you can breathe<\/p>\n
And is as soft as the air itself,<\/p>\n
And that has a name\u2014it is called<\/p>\n
Here I Am Here We Are Here and Now We Are There Here,<\/p>\n
And it will whisper through you, singing ever<\/p>\n
So softly until it becomes you<\/p>\n
Becoming<\/p>\n
The sea<\/p>\n
Becoming yourself<\/p>\n
Out loud<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Saying:<\/p>\n
Explore—step off into your life—<\/p>\n
Make waves, dismiss limits<\/p>\n
Of shore and time–<\/p>\n
You are being received,<\/p>\n
Ushered in,<\/p>\n
Guided by,<\/p>\n
Encouraged by,<\/p>\n
Enjoyed by<\/p>\n
Light—<\/p>\n
Light that is now<\/p>\n
Here fully<\/p>\n
With you, naked, exposed,<\/p>\n
Beyond being vulnerable—<\/p>\n
It is ready, willing, and<\/p>\n
Able<\/p>\n
To give itself<\/p>\n
To you<\/p>\n
And to take you<\/p>\n
If you want you,<\/p>\n
And to lift you<\/p>\n
Lift your feet,<\/p>\n
Kiss open your eyes fully<\/p>\n
To see<\/p>\n
And to kiss your mouth<\/p>\n
To speak only clarity,<\/p>\n
And to sing your heart mind awake,<\/p>\n
And so then you will speak words and conversations<\/p>\n
Of light,<\/p>\n
And your songs<\/p>\n
Will be light and of giving thanks light,<\/p>\n
And you will become so onewith-in being<\/p>\n
The light\u2014<\/p>\n
You yourself the I Am—<\/p>\n
That everywhere you go<\/p>\n
You will become a living morning,<\/p>\n
A walking sea,<\/p>\n
A dancing, singing sun,<\/p>\n
A bringer of possibilities,<\/p>\n
That you will not cannot need to own—just bestow<\/p>\n
At the feet of the world only<\/p>\n
To then keep going,<\/p>\n
Touching<\/p>\n
Everything,<\/p>\n
Spilling gifts<\/p>\n
Everywhere,<\/p>\n
Being a gift yourself<\/p>\n
Everywhere spilling,<\/p>\n
Kissing everything around you<\/p>\n
Awake<\/p>\n
And into<\/p>\n
Now here and<\/p>\n
I Am here we are here<\/p>\n
In and of and why here,<\/p>\n
And yes, and see, and know, and you and<\/p>\n
I and all of us<\/p>\n
Moveable<\/p>\n
Roots<\/p>\n
Growing<\/p>\n
Up and down<\/p>\n
In love soil<\/p>\n
Sky soil<\/p>\n
Earth of heaven and heaven of earth soil,<\/p>\n
And we will take one another\u2019s hands like<\/p>\n
Promenading trees,<\/p>\n
And lift one another from the table,<\/p>\n
Closing laptops,<\/p>\n
Putting away phones,<\/p>\n
And we will dance<\/p>\n
And we will spin<\/p>\n
Into more dancing,<\/p>\n
More shores,<\/p>\n
More earth<\/p>\n
More heaven earth<\/p>\n
More earth heaven<\/p>\n
More sea<\/p>\n
More dancing in the sea dancing<\/p>\n
Roots singing too with branches swaying,<\/p>\n
And we will wave,<\/p>\n
And we will dance<\/p>\n
Some more,<\/p>\n
Leaping into one another\u2019s arms like lovers, like<\/p>\n
Sea shore sky lovers–<\/p>\n
So grateful<\/p>\n
To see one another again,<\/p>\n
And we will never maybe ever<\/p>\n
Touch again on this earth<\/p>\n
And yet once<\/p>\n
We part<\/p>\n
More light forms<\/p>\n
Between us and we laugh and we weep<\/p>\n
And we sing and we know and we sing and we dance some more—<\/p>\n
We see we laugh we grow we know some more,<\/p>\n
And cannot help<\/p>\n
But rejoice some more<\/p>\n
And go around<\/p>\n
Embracing everything<\/p>\n
And everyone some more<\/p>\n
With the presence of here and now<\/p>\n
And more<\/p>\n
I Am we are here now there here now there\u2014<\/p>\n
Here—<\/p>\n
See?<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t it wonderful?<\/p>\n
You know it is,<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s OK to say so<\/p>\n
While you sit back down,<\/p>\n
Sipping your coffee, getting back to work,<\/p>\n
Checking emails, texting emoji\u2019s, putting on<\/p>\n
Sunglasses and going off into your world\u2014<\/p>\n
It\u2019s alright\u2014<\/p>\n
There is light<\/p>\n
In your briefcase, your pockets, your cup<\/p>\n
Of coffee, your thrumming touched and blessed holy infant<\/p>\n
Head and heart and toes and it is so glad<\/p>\n
You came and took a moment<\/p>\n
As it was given<\/p>\n
And shared it with your day, your plan,<\/p>\n
And any weariness you may have<\/p>\n
In your arms and legs or heart\u2014<\/p>\n
You were you are willing<\/p>\n
To carry exchange light\u2014<\/p>\n
The light you are here now I Am with you light.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The light, we are here now<\/p>\n
The light I Am we are<\/p>\n
And so<\/p>\n
And so<\/p>\n
We sew<\/p>\n
Light<\/p>\n
With invisible visible threads<\/p>\n
And golden needles<\/p>\n
Soft as baby-hair,<\/p>\n
Never<\/p>\n
Ever<\/p>\n
For a second<\/p>\n
Trapping\u2014<\/p>\n
Only<\/p>\n
Freeing<\/p>\n
Opening<\/p>\n
Wanting<\/p>\n
\u00a0Letting<\/p>\n
You<\/p>\n
Step out<\/p>\n
And into<\/p>\n
Yourself,<\/p>\n
Your day, your world,<\/p>\n
And back<\/p>\n
Into the self<\/p>\n
Of another<\/p>\n
Where you see<\/p>\n
Light becoming light<\/p>\n
And being light yourself<\/p>\n
You smile,<\/p>\n
Sip your coffee,<\/p>\n
Sip each other, sip the light,<\/p>\n
And be now here I Am<\/p>\n
\u00a0We are now there here now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And then skip a little, lift off the ground a little<\/p>\n
In ever so slightly<\/p>\n
Little lifts and skips<\/p>\n
And leap a little, skip<\/p>\n
A beat<\/p>\n
And make<\/p>\n
New dancing a little more<\/p>\n
With every oceanic step and little river<\/p>\n
Step and little drop of water step<\/p>\n
And sweat upon your breast step, and dew upon the dew step,<\/p>\n
And feel light<\/p>\n
Lifting your feet<\/p>\n
Without effort<\/p>\n
Without force\u2014<\/p>\n
Just lifting\u2014<\/p>\n
And you<\/p>\n
Will be born<\/p>\n
Into your own life\u2014<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Therewith everyone else<\/p>\n
Being born into theirs<\/p>\n
As morning<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You become sun<\/p>\n
You become who<\/p>\n
You become what<\/p>\n
You become ever-<\/p>\n
Here<\/p>\n
There<\/p>\n
We<\/p>\n
Are<\/p>\n
Were<\/p>\n
Here<\/p>\n
Now and<\/p>\n
I Am you are I Am you are we are<\/p>\n
Here we are there here we are<\/p>\n
Here<\/p>\n
Now<\/p>\n
Here<\/p>\n
Then<\/p>\n
Here<\/p>\n
We are<\/p>\n
Us<\/p>\n
Individually<\/p>\n
Indivisibly<\/p>\n
Us<\/p>\n
Singing<\/p>\n
Being sea being sky being light<\/p>\n
Skipping<\/p>\n
A way<\/p>\n
And a new revelation<\/p>\n
Begins with and<\/p>\n
Is with<\/p>\n
Is of with<\/p>\n
Is of now with<\/p>\n
In of in gratitude with<\/p>\n
Us<\/p>\n
For the way\u2019s revelation of the way<\/p>\n
The road<\/p>\n
\u00a0The path<\/p>\n
The horizon<\/p>\n
That is simply<\/p>\n
More light<\/p>\n
That can\u2019t wait, but tries to wait, yet cannot wait,<\/p>\n
To be with you here now forever we are<\/p>\n
I Am there here and now<\/p>\n
We are together always<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Forever<\/p>\n
Blessed and cresting<\/p>\n
Ebbing pausing moving touching everything<\/p>\n
And being touched by shore<\/p>\n
By sky by sea<\/p>\n
By shell by stone by swirls<\/p>\n
By castles by whole bodies<\/p>\n
Being born again<\/p>\n
Here now I Am we are herewith<\/p>\n
Each other blooming again here now<\/p>\n
There now<\/p>\n
Ever now<\/p>\n
In each other<\/p>\n
Together ever<\/p>\n
Now and<\/p>\n
With the dawn.<\/p>\n
