Honoring the Space of Loss

It is amazing how much space there is in the absence of love. Deep vacuous space in which a magnanimous soul inhabited. Recognizing this immense openness I become aware of the enormity of the spirit that existed here and am strangely filled with an incredible admiration and gratitude for being present in its grace.

I am also deeply aware of the energy and light that filled this space and all that was given to me. I have been graced with an incredible gift unlike I have ever known before.

As I absorb and simultaneously absolve my grief, I do not desire to diminish or close off the space that remains due to loss of physical presence. What I realize is I must embrace the absence of body and let it remain open and filled with spirit and the essence of the very love of that spirit. Thus, the space is honored by the immense peace that continues to resonate from it.

Love and the loss of physical presence does not mean that love is lost at all. All it does mean is that we need to celebrate and honor it in just a different way so as to let it continue to grow within us. You see the space of love is not meant to be filled or diminished. As a matter of fact, just the opposite is what the gift of loss is.

What I have come to understand is that what happens next is to find the courage and the strength to expand the heart even more to create even more opportunity to let love in again. Just as the universe continues to expand so too shall our hearts. So too shall we mirror and reflect this growth and so too shall we encourage and welcome even more love than we ever felt or knew possible.

I have been graced with such big love that I shall feel graced once again if I only risk to push open my heart and allow for the bigness of a heart as wide as the expansive universe itself.

If I have the courage to do this then then I have the conviction to welcome all the love there is. And if I welcome all the love there is, I have truly honored the love of the space that is left and that I embrace and live within at this moment. I am reminded once again and it is confirmed; there is no loss and there is no loss of love.

With gratitude for the forever graciousness of every being I have ever shared a moment,

Scott

The Silent Thought of Romance

Wrapped in the other

My fingers rest

I must set once again the music of romantics

I find silence better than my thoughts

I know best my beauty

Pinch my heart for memory

My head quiet, resting between stones

I feel so

A time together

I tell

I say

I am

We are

We once

Us, as if we do not forget

At The Window

In my chair at the window, I opened my eyes

Darkness was fading as light came from the east

I wondered, early in the morning

What is it that is waiting out there for me?

Silence of night raised many questions

Light might reveal answers in the time to come

Patiently, we let life unfold bringing what it will

Where is this place we call home?

When a tumultuous existence moves past our present

One breathes more easily throughout the day

Relief fills the space of our hearts

When is it time to let everything else go?

Thoughts on today for MLK

This is a day about remembering not to forget that there is still much work to be done in the field of equality. Martin Luther King, Jr. planted many a wonderful seeds in this land and it is up to us to work that land, love that land and to care for that land as if seeing into the fall for a bountiful harvest. During his time was the spring of this movement and now we find ourselves in the hottest days of summer.

 

Although the air is warm while the sun shines bright, we must remember to care for our crop. It needs ever more watering right now as the drought of forgetting has fallen upon us. And in forgetting, what I really mean to say is the complacency of thinking we have come far enough. This is not enough. It is not enough until equality is for all.

 

There is still much work to be done.  With as much work as there is, there is just as much forgiveness and love to be shared. Let us water our spirit with a dream again. Let us give shade for blocking out the burning of fear and hate. Let us carefully tend with kindness while whispering once again about hope.

 

There could be plenty at harvest for us all. There could be so much abundance that we could not possibly imagine the fruits to come of our combined labor. We might not be able to imagine it all, fathom it all, or dream it all; but he did. And because of that, we must remember to take to the field.

 

Taken Back

Waters of memory run down my cheeks as lyrics pierce the past

Seeing you once again through the fog of time

Feeling the touch of you once again on my skin

Tasting you once again on my lips

Quickly transported through time, I am once again yours

Within the moments of a measure we are, once again

As quickly as a song, forever parted

Returning “Home”: Day 5

Recently I have become aware of the many shifts in my life as well as the highlighted notion of returning that has graced my thoughts as of late. One of the ideas of returning that seems to be floating to the surface is the return to “home”, coming “home” as you will, or having a “second home”.  These words have been written, exchanged or shared with me lately and more noticeably and intensively over the past week.

 

I have observed that my life is cycling back in many ways perhaps allowing me the opportunity to get a few more things right. Now when I say this I don’t mean things were bad per say before, it’s just that they might not have been all they could have would I have been who I am today.

 

I believe there is many lessons offered by the universe, some of these learned quickly while others needing more time for absorption. As with all of us, lessons learned by others at specific times are not learned in the same time by every individual. We all come to our own assimilations of the ways of light at the time for which we are ready to receive.

 

At this moment, all I can say is that it is honor to be invited back, being loved enough to return or even forgiven so as to be reborn. I love that I have a second home many places in the world. I am grateful that I am invited back again and again and made feel comfortable and included in rituals and events that are not always offered to everyone.

 

I am also grateful that I am asked to return home to places in which I have been away from so as to share once again in the love that was left, lost or withheld. Regardless of the reason, it is important for me, for all of us, to return to our “home” renewed, humble and reborn. For in these moments, these times of atonement, this is where grace lives. Grace in movement, grace in spirit and most importantly, grace in love.
