INCESSANT PULL
breathe
into the process however It Is
the incessant internal pull like unavoidable gravity
let the surrender take you
give yourself over
let it seduce you into changing with tongues of flame
let the melting into What Is
be an offering
changes are coming changes are here
yielding into the vast
desert of
waiting and knowing
has already readied you
for a blessed
birth
- By Tosha Silver
If the last 3 years have taught me anything, they’ve taught me the truth of this poem.
So many changes and losses. So many opportunities to either resist “What Is” and become frustrated, fearful or frozen (I did all of those things at one time or another!)…..or surrender into the changes in order to be reborn again and again.
I used to think ‘surrender’ was the same as ‘giving up,’ but my beloved mentor and spiritual guide Sister Maurus Allen used to say “Surrendering is remembering that you are a fragment of God. Just like a drop of water is a fragment of the ocean. When you surrender, you allow the great energy of God to flow through you as you.”
I hope Sister Maurus and Tosha’s words give you hope and strength during these changing times.
Love,
Deb
