To be alive again

Moonstone, Silver, Aquamarine, Labradorite and Quartz

There is a seam in reality
where time forgets its edges
and light hesitates
before becoming form
dust drifts through the brightness
like memory deciding whether to remain
it levitates in slow obedience
to an unseen softness
as if reminiscence itself has turned translucent
something ancient has loosened its grip
with the quiet surrender
of a spell that has completed its telling
yet forgotten to carry the silence away
you notice it first in the small things
the way your breath
no longer argues with itself
the way you are no longer held
in the geometry of breaking
instead there is a drifting between thresholds
a luminous unknowing
where endings dissolve
before they can declare themselves complete
even sorrow begins to forget its posture
nothing is restored in the way closure promises restoration
it is stranger than that
it is the pause after transformation
when the shape has changed
but has not yet learned how to be seen
beyond the edge of perception
old patterns unravel themselves
like tides that no longer remember
why they were called to return
and in this in-between
woven from starlit stillness
something within you is being rewritten
without ink without witness
without a name
only the faint shimmer of becoming
learning at last
how to exist
without resistance

The unexpected coming

So here we are now
at the edge of a thought still forming
where the air itself seems to listen
for what you will become
a subtle restlessness moves through your days
bending words, shifting meaning
turning certainty into doorways
opening paths where none were before
you carry a voice that remembers
what it has not yet said
where knowing and believing are the same breath
now everything begins to open
in the space between you and others
nothing fixed, everything alive
what once pulled you apart
becomes the key in your hands
so do not resist the change
lean into the shifting
you are the crossing itself
the bridge woven of question and echo
between past and possibility
between stillness and change
between the voice you have known
and the one now breaking through
so let the ground shift
let the unexpected speak
there is no edge to this becoming
only widening circles of now
only the endless moment
learning your shape
only expansion
only unfolding inside the invisible
only this limitless moment
where you realize
you were never meant to arrive
only to become
only to be love

The ending that sets you free

I have drifted among constellations
met all the wild ones
left illusions at every door
I felt broken lost and totally shattered
even my bones learned to breathe
the dust off
I surrendered into oblivion
and while pain swallowed me whole
something still reached for me
a gentle pull from nowhere
a faint thread winding itself around me
a spark
a pulse
the quiet insistence to keep moving
to speak the soft prophecy
that love
will gather us home again

You are not here

Star Rose Quartz, Rose Quartz, Pink Girasol and Sea Urchins

You are not a small story
written in the margins of ordinary time
you are a crossing
where fire meets ocean
where sky breaks open
and something ancient remembers its name
before you had words for yourself
you were already in motion
carrying echoes of distant storms
maps etched in starlight
a knowing that does not belong
to any single lifetime
you have walked through worlds
that tried to name you
contain you
shape you into something easier to hold
but you are not meant to be held that way
you are a horizon that refuses edges
there is a vastness in you
that has known both exile and return
a traveler who has worn the weight of mountains
and still chosen to move
you learned endurance
as if it were an ancient rite
as remembrance
to stand
to carry
to remain
when the ground shifted
and the sky offered no answers
and yet
there is a flame in you
that was never forged by hardship
never owned by it
it is older than fear
it rises like a phoenix that does not wait for ashes
it burns simply because it is alive
you are not here
to live a life already written
you are here
to break open the script
and speak something truer into the world
within you move forces
that do not travel in straight lines
they spiral like galaxies
collide like storms
ignite like constellations being born
you will feel them as tension
as longing
as the unbearable pull
between what has been
and what refuses to remain
do not mistake this for breaking
it is the forging of something vast
you stand at the axis
between worlds
between the self that learned to survive
and the self that was always meant
to expand beyond all borders
and yes
there will be moments
when you feel divided
torn between closeness and freedom
between staying and becoming
but even this is sacred
you are not meant to choose one and lose the other
you are meant to become wide enough
to hold both
your path is a myth unfolding
a sky that keeps opening
a sea that keeps deepening
a fire that refuses extinction
there will be times
when you stand alone at the edge
of everything you thought you were
and the silence will feel immense
but listen closely
it is only the breath
before creation
you are not lost there
you are becoming
there is something in you
that cannot be diminished
not by time
not by doubt
not by what you have carried
it moves through you still
limitless and untamed
and it is not asking you
to be smaller
safer
or more certain
it is calling you
to rise
not once
but again and again
each time vaster than before
each time closer to what has always lived within you
you are not here
to fit into the world
you are here
to love it open
