Sitting at my center looking out
With my sword of consciousness
Expanding deeply into my heart
Growing into the earth in communion and bliss

Allowing

Allowing

Grace enters in many magical forms -
Rainbow bridges, the plants and animals that love to talk
The dancing morning star transmitting mystery and light

Crows circling over head as I sing my song of the desert
The dream world coming alive in and around me

Dropping deeply into the mystery
I feel the fire in my soul like the Burning Buddha
consuming all that is not me.

The phoenix arises out of me again and again
I now see and allow the refinement
Empowering myself with commitment to the task of my life

I feel the power and the gift of my name
Finally seeing the vistas of my life with new meaning
and understanding
Gathering the powers, qualities, gifts and faculties to my
breast for my journey forward.
