I’m being changed from the inside out
Like a bush being burning down to the ground
Suddenly you see fresh green sprouts starting to grow
That’s impossible you think-there was nothing left-everything was eaten by the fire
But a miracle occurred
The bush was given a second chance at this life
Spirit said “it’s time to heal the past and start to grow again”
The Body gave its strong signals, the Mind and Emotions did their work too..
“But how” cried the Bush “it’s so dark and scary.”
And I’m afraid
The answers came as whispers in the wind
And butterfly wings on its leaves
And warmth of the sun into the ground
A new life was emerging
This bush was stronger than the last
This bush had faced its fears from the past
This bush knew deep in its heart that it mattered, mattered deeply to those around it
This bush knew that the answers to all of life’s questions are found within the heartmind
This bush knew that facing the critical voices in its head was the only way to inner peace
This bush knew that each voice was afraid or scared about something
This bush knew its job was to be present
To listen to whatever wanted to be known and held with care
This bush knew that each voice held a gift within its message
This bush now has the wisdom to be still and quiet
This bush understands that stillness and quiet are the greatest treasures ever
Treasurers that are timeless and true
Treasurers that this Bush cannot pass onto others
But that this bush can act as a witness and presence for others
Trusting that others also need to be burned down to the ground and find their own way to change
To change from the inside out
