What If This Is What Awakening Feels Like

What if we go through this journey,
So excruciatingly slow
Because as we’re feeling
And as we’re healing
As we’re learning to let go,
We anchor it through the physical self
So that it becomes real
This feeling and healing.
Real, and not something that happens somewhere else
Outside of us
In the sky
No beings coming to rescue us
from elsewhere, away and high.
Instead it is coming up through the soles of our feet
From the earth Herself
Showing us how feel and how to heal
Showing us a new way to be.
Showing us what it means to move from
Evolution through Suffering
To Evolution through Joy and Creativity.
(Don’t abandon the Great Round, the uncried cry
Or you’ll be stuck forever in the illusion
Elsewhere and high).
