It is like this today

Above all the chaos
     That swirls around down there
          On your planet

             Is enlightenment

They are light years apart,
     In some ways

          And in other ways
               One and the same

Can you find enlightenment on your planet?

   Of course you can
      It happens all the time

          And yet,

People strive to be somewhere else
     Up there somewhere in the clouds

“There must be a place we reach to,”
     They say,
          “In order to know we have arrived
               At the ‘place’ of enlightenment.”

Posh

     Pish posh and poppycock

         What nonsense is that?

Walk in it

     Walk into the chaos
          That’s where the enlightenment comes
     In the willingness to step
          Right into the chaos of your life

Right up to your eyeballs
     Right into the thick of it
          The muck of it

The dirt

     The grit

         The darkest cloud

Step into your own free will
     And learn what it means to be present

All this airy-fairy reaching out to the heavens
     Is a complete distraction
          From what you’ve really come to Earth
               To learn

…. Okay, not entirely

     But seriously…

If you spend more time
   With your head in the clouds
      Than with your feet on the ground
         You’re going to feel disconnected

Reach up – sure

   Reach up with your heart!

     Reach up for a connection with love
      And ask for the strength
         To endure the troubling times

Then step right back into the core of your life

     And let that be your truth

I’m not scolding
   I’m encouraging you

You may not feel you have the strength sometimes
   And yet you do

But even if you didn’t believe that

   There is enough love in the universe
      To cover any lacking

It’s a matter of

Letting Love in…
