phoenix rising

she woke up with questions
for the past few weeks the mode of operating was full systems go
she kept moving forward and was in flow
trusting that things were unfolding as they needed to
there were many parts that needed attention...or not
maybe the trust and detachment needed to kick in again
she felt like she lost touch with her inner pilot light
in the process of change it's difficult to remain on the path of courage, faith and trust
somehow the ego creeps in and has to try and make sense of it all
put it all in a nice perfect package and tie it all in a pretty bow
in an effort to explain the seeming craziness of it all
she realized she wasn't like most of her peers
they craved security and comfort
predictability had become their anchor to a rooted life
why was she such a wanderer?
a seeker of the unknown
she longed for an adventure of not knowing
letting herself be divinely led to the darker corners of the world
the road less travelled
routine had become her unwanted friend
mystery was its replacement
this had become the driving force in her life
she sought out the challenges and welcomed them with open arms
would she regret her choices of letting go of the familiar?
she felt like it would all be good 
the things and people in her life would stay if they were meant to be with her
looking back on her life she had experienced many phoenixes 
and she always grew from those fires
a rebirth always followed giving new life to the overgrown garden

Liberation

listening to myself
is sometimes a very confusing exercise
my busy brain is like a ticker tape
that runs a whole inner dialogue
of shoulds and shouldn'ts
judgements
fears
self loathing
insecurities

for the most part
i am a positive person
but there is a lower level
of shadow that never leaves me
i don't think it ever will

what i have come to understand is 
this is just a part of being human
if i accept these dark feelings 
letting them come almost like
a dinner guest for a limited amount of time
they pass easily 
but if i fight them and deny their existence
they haunt me on an almost obsessive basis

the key to finding inner peace and my true voice
the one that lifts me and encourages me 
to take action towards my dreams 
is to allow the judgements and fears to be as they are
they diminish and hold less weight in my life 

it's like opening a dark closet 
and letting all the skeletons out to come and play
no hiding out
no secrets
no shame

this is true liberation of the soul

Venus

constantly looking for new ways                                                                                                             of viewing the seeming chaos of our world
sometimes the smallest things seem too heavy to hold
we get weighed down by decisions, choices 
unable to take those first few steps 
needed to iniatiate the necessary changes
which are needed in order to grow

trust and faith are the assistants 
we must rely upon on this part of our journey
stillness is also and important component 
because we need to be quiet enough to hear the messages from within 
these intuitive feelings are our guides which lead the way

the Goddesses journey is ruled by Venus
she dances an intricate rythm of love and beauty
never forceful, always receptive 
allowing for all possibilities to reveal themselves
and when the timing feels right 
she takes the leap ready for her journey to unfold
