VERONICA LEE

Life, my ever-present companion.
Breathing into my body.
Holding my soul with muscles, skin
and too much thinking.
I thought myself away from you.
No, I could not leave you, not so far,
but my awareness that you are my 
constant companion has faded.
Possibly from that first breath.

In my sorrow, you are there.
In every joy and celebration.

Were you twice as present when 
I was harmonizing with a new life
inside me?
There was certainly a wondrous
appreciation.
But as I delivered Life anew 
my focus held my babes - 
their lives, their breath-taking.

And breath-taking it has been.
Until those last breaths I witnessed
with Eric. With my mom.

But you were their companions,
weren't you?

And in my grief you have never
left me, though in my darkest hours
I sometimes felt the pain too great to 
appreciate or want you. 

In so many ways I've taken you
for granted - assumed you
owed me more. Or that I must
do something right, useful,
productive in your honor.

I've also assumed the role... 
that I somehow own you.
But do I?
Could I own any companion?

You've walked with me while 
I was believing in loneliness, 
likely wrapping your arms
around my forgetting.

I am dumbstruck at my blindness - 
how could I not recognize your
faithful bond?

As I searched the ethers for
Higher, Greater, Most Loving,
Source to find connection,
meaning, answers or strength,
I though not to recognize you.

Life. My devoted companion, 
accompanying my every second 
I am here.
I now see I will never be alone
​in this, Life.

The planet is dense and beautiful.
Usually in a state of paradox,
but you know this 
as paradox IS.

The people have forgotten... 
which is, of course, the point.
But... to remember. 
To see.

You will be able to see. And feel.
Witness. Notice.

Delve into the human experience.
Feel every aspect of it, but
remember the strength
of your soul.

You will be lonely. Indeed.
It is in this that you will
find yourself, rediscover
that which you are.

Play. Lean into your gifts.
Yes, they are gifts of magic.
Use them, show others,
honor, but not in seriousness.
There is simply too much 
seriousness on planet Earth
already. So you must 
remember to laugh.

Vibration informs you.
Know what you know.
Enjoy doubt and then 
roll it over.
It is simply doubt.

Stay connected to your
heart. Though the planet
sparkles with beauty
and kindness abounds, 
so too are the edges.
Sharp, unexpected, 
ready to puncture your
heart, but only if
you let it.

Crawl if you must, but 
stay true to your earthly
life, to your ancient soul.

All answers reside there,
but there is no need for questions.
They will haunt you endlessly
if you let them. 
A distraction from your knowing.

And then there's the Mystery.
You mustn't forget the Mystery.
It is the life force unfolding itself
with wonder and creation.
Honor the Mystery as 
its own emanation.

Crystals and incense and ritual
can be part of your life journey,
but never mandatory.
Nothing is mandatory.
Even your Earth trip. 
It's merely an option, 
Ancient Soul.

All is well. It will always be well,
but planet Earth is a place 
to forget that. It's practically
the ticket to enter.

Here, now... it is your choice.
Are you ready to enter?
Ready to incarnate once again?

Open your heart to the experience...
enter and forget.
Agree to unworthiness - it is your
challenge - and as you will see,
it is a collective one.

Humanity is shedding their 
collective belief in unworthiness
and you can hold the light of
Truth as you all re-awaken
to your inherent Perfection.
