Day 12
Merging with the flow of life, I can feel my body travel along the current. Each twist in the river allows me to surrender. Each turn in the stream gently reminds me to release what weighs upon my heart. Here in the river of life, I am able to feel my physical body fall away, dissolving in its sacred waters. With every second, I feel my soul unfurl. Caressed by the rocks as I drift beneath the surface, they speak of the sharp edges they once had. Smoothed by the passage of time, they too understand the power and importance of water and flow.
I allow my energy to expand. Woven in the fabric of my being, memory fragments are now being exposed. Judgment, criticism, shame, and guilt bubble to my surface. I allow the tears to flow. I let the salt clean my wounds. One by one, the wounds open. My innermost threads are also revealed. One by one, they are hooked on the twigs and sticks and reeds along the river. There they will sink to the bottom below to unravel, rot, and decay. This process offers energy to the cycle of healing. I willingly continue on with the sacred flow.
Granting myself the space to continue within the river, I open my eyes and turn to what is above me. It is not time for me to breach the crystalline surface. Nor is it time for me to evaluate where I am at this moment. I know I must continue to surrender to the Mysteries. I know I must trust in this liminal space that contains no time. I also know that the more I learn, the less I know. Although that can be terrifying, I am discovering that it is also one of the most beautiful gifts this path can offer. And I am grateful.
How are you experiencing the liminal energies that are swirling around you during this time? Are you willing to trust the flow of life and the healing process?
Be well upon your path as you make your way towards the light from the surface.
