What do you want?

More than anything,
deep in the heart of your being,
what do you want?

If you surveyed your time
on this earth
from a deathbed,
what would really matter to you?

What are the memories
that would engender
the peace
of nothing essential
left undone,
a life well lived?

Never forget
what is most important to you.

Allow yourself for a moment
to imagine a you
who has held steadfast
to the clarity of your vision,
who has overcome all obstacles
on the path,
who has vanquished all doubts,
composted all darkness
to feed the radiant jewel
of a life giving tree,
your unique offering
to the world.

Invoke this liberated,
potent,
awake
version of yourself.

Right here.
Right now.

Any time you feel the fog
of fragmenting voices,
the hypnotic sleep
of superficial agendas,
any time you lose faith
in yourself
and your commitment
or capacity,
invoke the one
who has already made it through
to the very end.

Let your every cell resonate
with the frequency of victory,
and know
that this is no arrogance.

For if you truly listen
to the deepest aspiration
of your heart,
then what you discover
is that your core desire
is a note that serves
an evolving harmony.

Your love seeks above all
to give itself fully
to the world,
with nothing held back.

When you recognize that you,
and only you,
are responsible
for your choices,
for mastering your experience,
for the life you weave,
for delivering your gift,
then no-one
can hinder you.

We are at all times surrounded,
permeated,
by a great intelligence.

Creation moves
unstoppably
toward healing,
the ultimate revealing of
our magnificence
in the beauty way.

Countless allies
come to the aid
of all who align themselves
with this light.

So offer your willingness
to every step,
however faltering,
with all the sincerity,
strength,
and courage
you can muster.

Though you might be daunted
by all
that would tear you down,
though your willingness
might seem insufficient
for the task ahead,
give everything you are.

Your small willingness
will be met by
an infinite supply,
and you will rise up,
and we will all rise beside you.
