All ya’ have to do . . . 

Is lift a finger and touch the life that

Exists below you, behind you and within

You to embrace  what you were born to

Live. That pool is deep, and the life swimming

In those waters carries the knowledge you

Require. Even if you touch it ever so lightly,

with a tiny finger, the darkness moves toward

The light, and the implements of destruction

You feared become upended and harmless. 

Yes, it’s a long haul, back and forth, up and

Down, taking those underworld passages, 

but well worth the journeys.

  Think Twice! 

“Get over it; ”I couldn’t care less,” “whatever!”  Behind or below  every sentence we speak, there lives a shadow.

That lurks as surely as those childhood snubs that are so familiar. Even that book we are writing finds us doubting and critiquing the very gems of insight and creativity that bring us alive. The library you carry within, the research you’ve held for decades, can seemingly, in a dream or a flash, appear like an ancient crash, where face down we confront the demons of the past that seem to attack us head on, and all too quickly, remind us of our failures and missteps that arise like unwelcome Zombies.

In that seminal moment though, we do have an ally, within, that can pause, and reflect, choose and explore, and yes, even dare to seek help from comrades.  

Yes, that pause! There we find that secret passageway where we  remember who we were called to be in this life, so that we can  continue to find our way home.
