Home is found in the heart,
an emotive, vibrational space
we have painfully strayed
and continue to wander away.
Returning to the heart,
a procession of bouts
of round-about wanderings,
tours in the foreign legion,
the desert of asceticism.
Cleansing, purifying,
a letting go of accumulated remorse, pain and guilt.
A rebirth in the transformational mud, muck and silt,
the water supply, a sacred river of shared tears,
these raw materials and raw energies of life - reclaimed.
The healing found in bonding intimately with birth family,
then with Self, then within the intimacy of a journey partner.
Intimacy with another,
an ongoing mastery of giving and receiving blessings.
Recognizing that others inflicting a vibration of malice
are deeply entrenched in their inherited and projected pain.
The appreciation of the transpersonal Self.
Engagement with life,
no more hiding out.
Facing up to insecurities,
surrendering to whatever life brings forward,
remaining vulnerable to all that hurts
and calls out a deeper aliveness,
a more profound connectedness to remaining intimate
with what is.
