I light the light
Like a candle lighting another candle

It is my privilege to be sensitive
To be tuned into
The subtle frequencies
Emitted by the planets
The knowledge of the akashic
By listening
By listening

And somewhere far there
Far off in my inner space
I feel the vast journey before me
As I open to embrace
The ocean of love
As I teach and remind the other
Versions of my self
To let go
To not take personal
So they can remind me
When I am shaken
And lift me up

And we
Hold space for one another
Silent and sure
Connected to the infinite
Like a web around this universe

So pure we are
So strong
So subtle the threads that run right through us
That love us
That are us

I listen to that
I practice being present in your presence
Really being awake for you
So I can give you
The light that you are
Reflected

I am a candle
A mirror
And it is my honor
Each class I teach
Each session I give
Every conversation where I listen
Fully present
Is a blessing to dialogue with the infinite
To surrender to the bliss that suffering can bring us into
Closer to our teachers, our guides, our guru
The inner knowing
That somehow amidst this chaotic masquerade
Every moment is sweet perfection

Even the stuck energy in my gut
Even my aggressive ego
Even my attachments to love and approval

Because beyond those things
The 10000 things
The myriad of melodramas and all my insecurities,

I AM Tuning to Wisdom
And listening
To the ringing
To the hum
The vibration
And the energy
It guides me

But so does the silence
