The Essentials

Only the essentials will remain

when you take off the many layers that obscure and diminish your essence.

There is no time to hide, no time to play small.

What lies beneath your protective exterior?

Who are you, really? When no one is watching, or waiting, or expecting.

Who remains when there is nothing else left?

Can you stand the heat of transformation?

Can you be still in darkness long enough

to let it strip you of doubt, fear, and falsehoods.

There is a rumbling coming from the depths

Of the planet, from the womb of Mother earth.

Will you give her your attention?

The season of death and rebirth is here.

Transformation is imminent.

Dark caves create bare bones.

Bear witness to your resurrection.

The next chapter of your life awaits.

How will you show up?

Truth, power, and presence are

Required now.

These are the essentials.
