I Would Like …
On the last Sunday of Eastertide, I shared with you my dream that has been a catalyst for my own resurrection of sort. Since then, there has been a noticeable and undeniable shift within me. It feels as though something I have been waiting for all my life is finally beginning to happen. So I wrote this “I Would Like…”
What would I like?
I would like to live a life of freedom and love, wisdom and aliveness,
like the sunflower, turning toward God who deeply nourishes my becoming.
I would like to be at the edge of my knowing and becoming,
present with joy and wonder, to the beauty of life’s emergence.
I would like to live without fear for myself or my loved ones,
extending to all beings, and without causing fear to any living being.
I would like to be very, very tender, and when it’s called for,
I would like to be fiercely powerful in the service of love, life, and the good.
I would like to engage with others with compassion
and with permission to allow what wants to emerge in me and in them.
I would like to engage in my work with a sense of purpose, gratitude, and possibility.
I would like to be a hub for love and life,
letting flows flow through, without needing to hold or grasp on to anything.
I would like to welcome and play with what arises in the moment,
in any situation.
I would like to live free as birds, to love, to be,
as an invitation to infinite things and possibilities.
What would you like?
John
