HEART CHASM

Observing a re-opening of this heart of mine

But first

Came many messy breaks

Each break extending the shattering fractals of the one before-

So much history revealed in these cracks.

Deprived of privacy, courage summoned, time to meet the neighbors;

Neglect, anger, jealousy,

all living in my heart.

They themselves aware of their illusion,

whispering to me their core trauma with the hope of healing.

Fear.  Unworthiness.  Doubt.

I’m lifted as the visceral manifestations of these crumble in the expansion.

The deepest, forgotten corners of shadow illuminated with the Clarity of Love.

A surrendering to the present, an offering of truth.

A return to the unconditional;

the pinnacle of Freedom.

I’m changed

More pure yet more bold

More vulnerable yet more fierce

More wise yet more wild.

In my deepening of unity, my reach in duality grows.

Ready to break, and break, and break, and break.
