We ARE
Ever-GROWING
As long as
BREATH
Pulses
Through
Our Bodies
OUR
Spirit
Ushers
US
Into
MORE
Of
Who we ARE
NOTHING
Stays
The Same
TRY
As we
MIGHT
We can’t keep
LIFE
At Bay
HOLDING Back
Denying
The Growth
Walking around
In
A LIFE
That doesn’t
FIT
Anymore
Is
MADNESS
Inner turmoil
Battling
An IDEA
Against
The Truth
ACCEPTING
We
GROW
And
GROW
Even when
We ARE
GROWN
Of
A Certain Age
Living a Life
That appears
To be
The pinnacle
OUT-Growing
Happens
As
We ARE
Ever-GROWING
From
The INSIDE Out
From the OUTSIDE In
Events
Circumstances
ROCK
Us
Dismantle
A Life
And
We GROW UP
Up
Up
Up
Like
A SUNFLOWER
That Must
Face
The SUN
That Must
LOOK
To the Sun
Even when
The Winds
The Storms
KNOCK
Down
The Stem
The Blossom
Lying
On the Ground
Seeming
UNSUPPORTED
Ever-Held
By
This LOVE
This INVISIBLE
Force
The SUNFLOWER
Does
What it Must
To GROW
OUTgrowing
Is
Painful
YET
It’s PROMISE
The HOPE
The MORE
To Come
The BEAUTY
That Awaits
Makes IT
Hurt SO GOOD
We do what
We MUST
We Kick
We Scream
We Curse
And
We SURRENDER
Allowing
LIFE
To
FLOOD
Through
US
Take
US
On a JOY Ride
Into
The NEW
Discovering
Wandering
LETTING GO
And
REACHING
For
The More
All the GOOD
That comes
That is sure
To come
The SURPRISES
Of
LIFE
Unwrapped
Uncovered
In
PERFECT
Time
The PLAN
So Divine
UNFOLDING
US
Who we ARE
Today
Now
OUTGROWING
Expanding
Stretching
ECSTATICALLY
Dancing
We SEE
The Amazing Grace
At work
In IT
ALL
Ever-PRESENT
Ever-LOVING
Escorting
US
Into
What’s Next?
For
Our HIGHEST Good
And
GREATEST Joy.
When
I look back on the whole of my life, I see clearly the necessity of outgrowing; and how it all led me here to this moment, to this day, to this life I love fiercely that continues to surprise me in the new depths I am privileged to experience that fill me with awe and gratitude.
Nothing stays the same. We cannot
stay the same. It is painful to box our
Self in attempting to fit into a life where we used to dance free but now, it is
confining. As we grow up and out, we
must leave the safety of the known and enter the unknown which is both
exhilarating and terrifying. Our very
nature requires change as we are ever-growing as long as breath pulses through
our bodies; but oh my, my! We resist change with all our might, kicking and
screaming; cursing the gods before surrendering to the flow of life, trusting everything is for our highest
good and greatest joy. Outgrowing, the
process of letting go and reaching for more makes sense on a purely logical
level; but when we are growing up and out, we must call on the amazing graces
of the universe always at work, this force of love ever-holding us even when we
appear unsupported. This net, the web of
life is tethered to us, pulsing kryptonite through us so we can leap tall
buildings in a single bound, jump across canyons, climb the mountains, cross
the bridges, go down the roads with no end in sight and do what we must in
order to give birth to our Self again and again and again until our last
breath.
The
invitation this day is remember: YOU are a SUNFLOWER who will find your
way to the sun even when you feel knocked down and unsupported in the outgrowing
of life into new life. Accept that OUTgrowing is a part of life. And call on this love within you, sipping
from this well ever-springing, receiving this divine power that parts the seas
and moves the mountains and is the miracle maker. One step, one breath, one moment at a time,
walk your path knowing even in the midst of unknowing that it is all good;
certain even in the midst of uncertainty that you are being led into the more
whose time has come to play, to sing, to express as only you can for the joy of
it. Let the energy of hope
ever-spiraling through you: mind, body,
heart and soul carry you into the Beauty that awaits as you free the passion, this
love you are that grows and grows because it must.
