It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes!'

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

And you will always travel inwardly, 

among your deep grooves and places, 

 returning with full hands, 

ready to release light into 

the external aching world.

Let the ghosts rise and teach us

how to dance in the dark.

Let them teach us of darkness

and how to defeat it.

Let them teach us of patience

and how to let go.

Let us learn of endurance.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,

for there you have been and there you will long to return.

I'm learning of my own rhythms.
My own cycles.
My own layers.
I'm learning of things that
were once mysterious and quiet.
Questions that kept their promise remaining questions,
and arriving as answers when it was finally time.
I'm learning
when to peel back,
when to hold in,
when to stand strong
and when to unfold.
I'm learning
when to open more,
when to be still,
when to slow,
and when to close.
I'm learning about journeying.

When you see fairies dancing,

whether in your head

or with your eyes, join them.

otherwise, in time,

you may see them no more.

Soften.

Soften into the world around you.

Remember how wildness always holds you close -
strong, consistent, slow, and steady.

Rocks you in scents and sights and rhythms.

Is always there to ground us.

Is always soothing and knowing, simple,

and ready.
