I Light The Light

I Light The Light

I light the light

Like a candle lighting another candle

It is my privilege to be sensitive

To be tuned into

The subtle frequencies

Emitted by the planets

The knowledge of the akashic

By listening

By listening

And somewhere far there

Far off in my inner space

I feel the vast journey before me

As I open to embrace

The ocean of love

As I teach and remind the other

Versions of my self

To let go

To not take personal

So they can remind me

When I am shaken

And lift me up

And we

Hold space for one another

Silent and sure

Connected to the infinite

Like a web around this universe

So pure we are

So strong

So subtle the threads that run right through us

That love us

That are us

I listen to that

I practice being present in your presence

Really being awake for you

So I can give you

The light that you are

Reflected

I am a candle

A mirror

And it is my honor

Each class I teach

Each session I give

Every conversation where I listen

Fully present

Is a blessing to dialogue with the infinite

To surrender to the bliss that suffering can bring us into

Closer to our teachers, our guides, our guru

The inner knowing

That somehow amidst this chaotic masquerade

Every moment is sweet perfection

Even the stuck energy in my gut

Even my aggressive ego

Even my attachments to love and approval

Because beyond those things

The 10000 things

The myriad of melodramas and all my insecurities,
