the light



i had a dream once that i was walking in a valley with my Guru
it was a beautiful valley where the sad spend time in healing


my heart told me this was so and i was not alone there
the ~beauty~ of this place was indescribable
i could find no words to express ~the peace~



and the 'light' there was like nothing earthly that i could compare to
as ~beautiful~ as this earthly world is



the ~peace~ that filled my heart in my dream
stayed with me in my waking hours
and filled my body ~for days~



last night as i was drifting into sleep
the ~light~ of the valley returned
a ~beautiful~ bright ~light~
the brightest ~light~
that did not hurt my eyes
but instead spoke softly to me
and sweetly to me...
about ~surrender~



as i drifted closer to the ~light~


i felt a softness envelope me
to my core



and i remembered my walk with the Guru





~remember?~

the light whispered
and my heart said

~yes~

remember me?
the words caressed

~yes~

whispered my spirit




"Are you afraid?"
softly questioned the ~light~

and my soul sang in recognition

~no~

That light is always there. Will always be there. Visit... but stay with us a little longer.

Zom said...

I should have capitalized "Light", otherwise it just seems bloody obvious, lol.
"Of course there is always light, you twit", lol. (twit meaning me).

Zom said...

I think I use lol too much. Anyone know anything else?
I am messing up your comment section. Oh well, you can always delete me, tee hee. (is that a good variation?)

VIcki-

The combination of your words, the colors you use in writing them and these incredible pictures, you conveyed the feeling of the dream so well I was THERE!

I agree with Carlikp that is wasn't a dream, it's what's there all the time, as DeeDee said, but I wonder if the message of surrender perhaps is enough, surrender here and now, in the struggles and fears of the moment, to Trust that the universe is indeed holding you, and that everything is unfolding in right and perfect order, regardless of what it "looks" like. Is that what perhaps you are to surrender to? When I have done that in my own life, it's been the only time I've truly experienced those much used words "inner peace".

I found that then no matter what outside circumstances are going on, I am in flow, and am fine.

"llafs" ddZ is what my sista says (laughing like a fat spider) well actually i think she was 'tipsy' the night she made it up... well perhaps i was too because we both thought it was SO funny that we fell on the floor... llfs... (laughing like fat spiderzzzzz together!) (ps) These days we don't actually need alcohol to be so silly lol! opps... llafs!

Sydney said...

OK, I want to steal llafs, but I think no one will know what it means...

but maybe laffs -- !
