The welling up inside
From deep within the darkest places
Which crave for light and beauty and peace
Gathering all this life has to offer
Into moments which propel her forward

That day when winter comes again,
Its chill palpable in words spoken,
Actions once carried out
Only behind closed doors
Frosty breath on necks
Of those already so cold and forgotten
And only those with souls of fire
And flame can burn away
These walls and thaw this winter’s chill,
On tongues and hearts and hands,
Burning from a place deep inside,
Fiery waves of justice
And righteous, holy love

Deeper
I go deeper,
Into the depths
Where my daily thoughts
Dare not go
Lest they become fraught,
Lost at sea among a deluge of awareness,
Submerged in truths bigger than this small mind,
More profound than this one life,
Drowning in wisdom so deep
I fear I may never again
See the light of day
Yet I am pulled from the depths,
Revived by the breath of life
With promises to share my truth,
To live as my true self
And bring others to the deep,
Help them submerge in their own awareness,
Discovering their own deep truth

Like fools
We wrestle with our demons,
Lost in our demise,
Enjoying our distress,
Which allows us to connect
Through that which divides,
Without thought to that which creates
Yet our love is too deep
For this shallow living,
Our souls too great
To be defined by our discomfort,
Instead we seek to name
That which makes us strong –
Our ability to persist,
To make light
Out of night

The Angels remind us that under our feelings of being tired, overwhelmed, and unworthy, there is a deep, clear pool of nourishment and strength, which we can return to anytime we need it. Visualize the cool, dark water, the way it cradles and releases all the feelings and beliefs that no longer serve. Float in the safety and protection of the well inside.

The Angels remind us to let our minds got to the places that frighten us most, those places deep inside that we pretend don’t exist. There, we find a well of wisdom and knowledge, just waiting to be shared.
