Journey of Awareness
Restless beyond words, the woman stood on the edge of the woods. A chaos of thoughts unformed within her, gave place to unwanted dreams when she tried to sleep. She knew she was running away from her own need of facing the fears within her. Still she ran, offering excuses she cloaked in reasons that seemed so real. Chills ran up her spine as the hair on the back of her neck stood up, sensing the presence following her. THINK, she demanded of her muddled brain. Think. She tried to close the cloak she wore about her, but her clothes melted away like sap running down a tree.
Her naked body as if in response to her frustration began the forming of feathers. Yet as the feathers formed, and she had hope of flying free, the feathers fell away laying in a circle at her feet. She ran until she came to the lake hidden deep in the woods. As the moon light reflected off her sweat covered skin as she leaped into the lake. Fish scales on her command began forming, and for a fraction of a second she was free. But then the scales slid away as if the had never been. She crawled out of the water on her hands, and knees, and the hair of a dog grew so fast around her, to cover her. She growled with awareness in the journey she would face as a dog. Then the dogs hair flew away in the wind.
Just then she heard a crackling laughter that seemed to come from all around her. She smelled the smoke from his pipe long before she saw him. He sat on a fallen log near by with his bare feet swinging back, and forth. He wore a dog haired hat, a feathered coat, and fish scaled pants. Her cloak she once had, draped over the log beside him. He spoke to her as his brown eyes, sparkled with flecks of green like leaves on a tree, glistened with tears from his laughter.
“SO, Ya is Naked, naked, naked,” he said. And laughed until he fell off the log.
“When you fear, you give your inner power away, and will loose all that covers you. For you can not hide behind what you are from the inside out. As you walk in awareness you can walk without fear. Awareness is about walking in total naked vulnerability, knowing nothing last forever, and still the journey ends as sure as the path once began. Know these things, seek to be loves expression to the darkness all around you. The dreams begat the dreamer, as sure as the dreamer begat the dreams, for all things are one as much as all things are separate from the creator of the creations. As you imagine so will your strength, or weakness become you. Know what is illusion. Reach for wholeness, because facts, and truth change as surely as reality’s do. You are not here to walk in another’s foot steps, but to walk in your own integrity, and purpose to becoming. When the walls you build around you to keep you safe are torn down, you find safe was relative to the reason you feared in the first place, and all you did was draw to yourself that which you waddled in.” He said.
The woman stood naked in her vulnerability, and felt her fears fall away. When you walk in self empowerment you began to live the response to your own responsibility to how you choose to live your awareness. In this place you are only this moment that calls out for the path you wish to take from this place. This is about how you see your self, how you love your self, and how you choose to be.
When you Become your own inner journey of wholeness you walk with a joy, and peace that clothes you with a strength you can not explain. The sun will shine from within you as though you were your own little earth awakening to the balances of a deeper place of magic, and wonder that surrounds you like a fragrance on the winds of time. What we respect, honors us. What we believe matters to the whole. These thought were clear inside her as if her whole body had now become her mind.
With this the wind blew, her breath changed, she took in all that was, and paused in stillness. Here in the center of her being she was all things. She became the sky, the clouds, the waters of the heavens, other planets, and the Earth. She became her own living garden. Then she breathed out, and became the wind once again. We were never meant to hold on so tight that we destroyed what we had, or lost what was our own abundance within us. We were here to experience, so we might not forget who we are.
With this peace she dropped to her hands, and knees, and became the dog. She ran with the wind. She saw the world from a place she had not imagined as the innocents within her returned. She knew this place like an old friend. Then at the edge of the lake she let the dogs hair fall away. She slid into the lake, and let the scales of a rainbow fish cover her. She swam with joy, and wonder as though this new womb was her sacred place of new beginnings where life begat life. Still she was called the edge of the woods where she had once stood. She rose from the lake, and the scales of the fish slid away, as other rainbow fish gathered to bid her well on her way.
She took a deep breath, and the feathers grew as she called out to a waiting hawk in a near by tree. The wind lifted her, and she flew. Home within the skies. The only thing to fear is fear it self. To become the flight where all things join you in one embrace you become the awareness of your transformations, and choices. What you do to others, you do to your self. What you do to your self, you will do to others.
To manifest all that is, your belief, and emotions must come together in a state of one love where the truth is you are only what you are willing to give your self to, and willing to become. There was no time here in the skies. She was no longer running away. She found that to face herself she must face all of who she was.
As we discern the magic within us we become open to the changes around, and in us. The meaning of love is to be whole within your own naked vulnerability so that your response, and reactions are as the breath you breathe. To face the journey of oneness within the merging of the greater wholeness. To be so open that the pause between the breath within you feeds the sun, and moon with a reflection of the awakening that calls out to life, and living with remembrance to the greater whole where humbleness becomes the place of gratitude that caress’s us all with intimate power of the divine within us.
Her feet once again touched the softness of the forest floor. She let the feathers fall away. Her face shining with a grace, and beauty of the journey she was on. She smelled the smoke from his pipe, and heard him sing, “Lovely woman from the earth, sea, and sky, Be whole my love, be whole, for you are grace, and beauty born in one this day. Loving you was loving me, and loving me was loving you for all of time, for all of time.”
She paused, and sang out her reply, “Oh. Man of the earth, and woods, your folly is a delight from which all things see from a different light. You are night, and day, separate, and one. Be whole within the journey you so choose, for you are greater winds yet to come that speak of healing born this day. Loving me was loving you, and loving you was loving me for all of time, for all of time.”
A far different woman walked home that day. She had found a part of who she was that she had judged unfit, unworthy to be loved, and made that place a place of love inside. The next steps were like choices made. Where we go with who we are, is how we will face the us inside, when in naked truth we stand before the mirror like woods of reflections from which we seek to see our self with love, not fear for the wholeness of the I Am we are. In this place the journey of awareness, and healing was learning love.
As we become the breath we breathe, we move on, never stagnate. As we become love, we leave behind that awareness of which we were born from. Not running away from, but running toward our oneness inside where wholeness creates wholeness, as we come home again.
