Silly boy – Audio

Standard

I read this again today.  I was talking to a Soul who needed this message.  It was something I needed to hear again my Self.  So many times we attach ourselves to people or perhaps allow people to attach themselves to us out of convenience or lack of self knowledge.  Hoping that somehow they might fill the empty places or satisfy unformed and vague longings in us. We use and are used because we seek in the other what can only be discovered in the heart.  Even in relationships the journey is our’s.  It is our responsibility not the other.  They too are responsible for the unfolding of their path, not us.

Silly boy, never ever be just something else, somebody else has on their list

Why would you pause along that way

There are no sunsets on lists, or sighs, or laughter, or sweet deep kisses, even true friendship is too large to fit there

Never wait your turn as though you are a beggar at the door

If your appearance is not the sunrise there then perhaps you have again knocked at the wrong place

Welcome mats do change with the season and their promise is sometimes contingent on whim or convenience

Just because welcome was spoken does not guarantee that it will be granted

Leave your gift on that doorstep.  You will not be diminished for the gifting, but leave it and go

The Beauty is calling, She beckons and silences the spirit. She calls from a place beyond the surface of things

Deep calls to deep, move out of the shallows, follow the sun’s rising through the early morning’s mist

Would they change you or rearrange you, bid you wait, or take your turn

That is not your path, those are not your companions

Your way is upon the trackless waters, there you may find companions far away from the shallows

There will be great joy in the meeting for they too seek that which calls to you

They understand the deep and those groanings for which there are no  words

Leave your gifts at the door, if they would journey they will come, if there is doubt though, beauty will not live there, only lists

You will know your companions for they will beam in your brightness and when you are adrift their clapping will again fill your sails

All else is false promise and the use of you to fill holes in a shallow list, silly boy

  1. I never know where I am in your blog, I meant to be in December, but by pressing on your name I was sent to you here. This is where I’m supposed to be. This is for you. Your name is the password. Still working on it.

    Lovely. I am repainting the little plywood canoe that my children and father and I built at the Wooden Boat Fest here years ago….. hope to be on the water soon with dreamers like you…..

  3. The mist swirls, and the boat gently rocks, as I read. And read again.

    “There are no sunsets on lists, or sighs, or laughter, or sweet deep kisses, even true friendship is too large to fit there…” Sensual, and beautiful! And I want to say sultry. It just floated up to mind.

    And here: “Deep calls to deep, move out of the shallows, follow the sun’s rising through the early morning’s mist.” That touches deeply, leaving me to sigh.

    Then: “Your way is upon the trackless waters, there you may find companions far away from the shallows.” You are a wayfarer, and the ripples of your wading reaches out, gathering in your companions. We have waited for you, rejoice in your presence.

    And I smile when I read: “You will know your companions for they will beam in your brightness and when you are adrift their clapping will again fill your sails”

    Your brightness, your very essence, is truly inspirational!

  4. I can see that new picture. I wonder if it had something to do with it being a screen capture? i might experiment with it on mine to see if it does the same thing.

  5. I was grabbed by the line the Lady Calen mentioned also: “If your appearance is not the sunrise there then perhaps you have again knocked at the wrong place.” So true!

  6. It might be my computer, but the image links on this and previous posts are broken. Just a heads up, in case you didn’t realise it. I hope you’re well. That was a lot to digest.

  7. That is so “real.” I can’t think of another word for it. How often DO we go to someone’s door expecting that warm welcome only to realize we misunderstood… Yet the attitude of taking it in stride and leaving a gift anyway is so humbling.

    I especially liked “If your appearance is not the sunrise there then perhaps you have again knocked at the wrong place.” We should all be the sunrise to those we love and who love us. Yes, that is right.

    You did such a great job of describing all of those who follow along on your blog, kindred spirits all. You did something really special and unique with that picture. And the narration on this one was so spontaneous. Loved that, too!!! <3
