For when you feel something stirring but you don’t know how to catch it

And a P.S. about the full moon clearing

Close your eyes.
Because there is a step to be taken and it cannot not be taken with your eyes open.
Not while illusions dance and tell you that there is a way.
When in truth, there is not.
Not yet.
There is only what opens as you let yourself sink.
Into the mud and mystery that lives before you.
There is no way.
No hope.
No guarantee.
Except of course.
That you know.
In the way that the wood knows the flame.
That there is no other choice.
But to let yourself go.
As everything.
Everything.
Everything.
Lives in a world forming still by the desires aching to roll off your tongue.

So slip in.
Under.
Discover that you can breathe in the abyss.
Scream and lose your way.
Because you will.
So might as well get it over early.
Pull yourself deep.
Deeper still.
Let the legends of impossible break you.
Open.
Because that is why you are here.
To crack at the spine.
And free yourself from what bound you.
To notions too small.
For the magic of who you are.
Shed the skins.
Shed the tears.
Shed the ideas that somehow you are separate from the everything that you chase.
Fall.
Fall.
Fall.
Through it all.
Knowing that there is nothing to fear.
As you are the descent.
And the ocean.
And the journey.

Fall until your feet touch the soft earth once again.
Let them sink as you have.
Let them become as you have.
The roots to a life that is burgeoning.
Unlock the soft hollow.
That lives at the very center of who you thought yourself to be.
Unfurl.
Hold nothing back.
Until you remember.
That what was out there.
Once amorphous in nature.
Is now only waiting to be claimed.
Find your voice.
Find your howl.
Speak it into being.
What it is you want is what it wants to be.

P.S.

Last Thursday, I held the Full Moon Clearing. 
It was airy. 
Gentle. 
But complete. 
Old ways were blown away. 
Layers dropped with ease. 
Newness peaked out from the underneath. 
May the openings created be used well.
