Haunted

In this peculiar & precious life

of infinite possibilities

There is a strangeness

An estrangement

A strange longing for the

Unseen,

Unmanifested,

Unliving

parts of ourselves—

The possibilities of

What might have been

What may have been in another life

What may be

What might still become

Haunted not by another soul

Yet another version of ourselves

Another more aligned

Another more alighted

Another more authentic

Walking into our dreams

Waking into our sleep

Rumbling into our silence

Stumbling into our stillness

Haunted here~

in the flesh of today

A strangeness

An estrangement within ourselves,

A stranger who haunts

As she wants to be seen

As she wants to be known

As she wants to become

the fullness of our being

May we welcome the stranger;

The haunting

May we try on her costumes;

The possibilities

May we dance with her peculiarity

Until the strange longing

dissolves into belonging

Belonging to the fullness of our being

May we in our belonging

invite and bless more beings

into the hallowed dance—

Sacred diversity of Aliveness

Blessed be.
