YOU RISE BURNING

When you have given up more than you think you are able; everything sometimes, you will rise from those ashes burning. Perhaps you will be so tender you will not have formed a new identity. Perhaps it will come to you in pieces, like raindrops, hitting and cooling your skin with tiny bits of the universe locked inside each molecule.

You might feel blank or undone or you might be encrypted with joys and mysteries that await your discovery. However you rise from the Fires that consume your past and your history, you will be new—and the more you try to pretend that away, the more you will suffer—the more the internal Fires will rage and refuse to cool.

What is Fire but a conflagration, transfiguration, and transmutation for change? Ashes to Ashes. Dust to Dust. How does the stardust come into to you and how does it return? By Fire.

So, when your Fires rise 
and you are burning, 

look inside yourself.  

And when you rise burning, be glad.  

Let that Light shine and keep shining 

until the old has burned away 

and made room for everything new.

Blessed Be This Day
