Do not be afraid to weep.There is suffering in this world
and those who now move to cross the veil
may need your tears to keep their boats afloat
as they drift across the nine waves.

What good can come from
stemming the tide?
No man has ever succeeded in holding back the ocean,
and in his surrender
She has only ever offered mercy.

“I will always be gentle with you, my beloved.
Even when my waves swell
and carry you away from this place,
I will not forsake you.”

Who is to say when it is our time?

We have only this moment
to love and offer the fullest
expression of ourselves.
If my ship sails tomorrow, let me waste not today
an ounce of energy in
holding back.

This is no time
for a stiff upper lip,
nor should we hear weeping
as anything
other than the One True Song
it is.

From source we come,
to source we go,
but in between
in this moment
we have forgotten
and we weep
at our own forgetting
to love
with every fiber of our being.

So let us weep for them that go before us
Let us sing for them
that our tears and voices
become the morning song and falling rain
as they arrive
at last
on the shores of the One True Home.
