\"\"<\/a>I<\/strong>t mattered not if others understood<\/em>
\n The deepening of his experience grew<\/em>
\n To the point he knew<\/em>
\n The ache was not meant to go away<\/em>
\n It was a part of his essence<\/em><\/p>\n

It was the ache of the mature open heart<\/em>
\n Living with the hurts of the instant<\/em>
\n Working beyond the threshold of gravity<\/em>
\n Allowing the natural expression of love to flow through him<\/em>
\n Fully at play<\/em>
\n Free from any confinement<\/em><\/p>\n

S<\/strong>tretching across time and space<\/em>
\nSo Far Away <\/em>
\nHis beloved felt all of it<\/em>
\n Sitting on the shore of the lake<\/em>
\n On which they had spent so much time together<\/em><\/p>\n

She spoke into his dearest heart<\/em>
\n The part he had gifted her<\/em>
\nEven though she said “No” to his offer to join him<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I am living<\/em>
\n Here is very tough<\/em>
\n for my soul… nothing nice to share and too much<\/em>
\n negativity… so,<\/em>
\n I don\u2019t think about it. I don\u2019t think about it. I don\u2019t think about it…<\/em>
\n but I have to accept<\/em>
\n this part of me too.<\/em>
\n This part of me that doesn\u2019t think it deserves a life of its own<\/em>
\n That doesn\u2019t deserve anything<\/em>
\n So, here I am\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Like the kiss of an Angel<\/em>
\nThe flutter of gallant beautiful wings bursting into air<\/em>
\n The King Fisher emerging triumphantly<\/em>
\n Rippling free from the Lake\u2019s surface stillness<\/em>
\n Shaking off the water from its latest dive<\/em>
\n Breaking into a new day<\/em><\/p>\n

Feeling the rush of air of her beloved warming her<\/em>
\n She watched the King Fisher soar away into the blues<\/em><\/p>\n

She knew<\/em>
\n She had chosen without care for her own heart<\/em>
\n No more<\/em>
\n She was choosing again<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYour love is lifting me up, it is flowing into my wings…<\/em>
\n caressing a little my feathers ..<\/em>
\n I can feel the wind…and I start to fly<\/em><\/p>\n

Every material density with a specific weight over the air cannot reach me…<\/em>
\n It is so beautiful this experience to be a flying bird looking at the<\/em>
\n Density of the world from my belly<\/em>
\n ..Such a fresh air l can breathe from here… l am keeping compact my<\/em>
\n Feathers.. \u00a0the hair is playing<\/em>
\n With the wind.\u00a0 so light experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Freedom<\/em>
\n Offered<\/em><\/p>\n

Tonight<\/em>
\n Would be her last<\/em>
\n In this place that was not her home<\/em><\/p>\n

Love was beckoning<\/em>
\n Calling her through the fire of her being<\/em><\/p>\n

The shell of her existence cracking<\/em>
\n With a fierceness of resolve<\/em>
\n Expanding now without reserve<\/em><\/p>\n

She asked<\/em>
\n As she started her journey<\/em>
\nTo her beloved<\/em>
\n Strengthen my wings<\/em>
\n Bring me light<\/em>
\n For my flight<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A revolution takes place in the heart. It begins by saying enough. Enough of the behavior that keeps me stuck on the shore. There are so many ways that we hold ourselves back from the truest expression of love and joy flowing into and through our lives. Ask yourself to what end and release your soul to flourish and thrive. It is the most you can do for those you love and the planet as a whole.<\/p>\n

Lots of Love,<\/p>\n

Melanie<\/p>\n
