One day you will look
and find the place
you never looked before
that has been there all along.
Then you will remember
though you won’t be fully certain
what it is you remember.
You just feel it and know it
without words.
Then you will walk into the forest
the one you have walked in
many times only this time
you see the secret doors.
Doors you imagined existed
but had no idea where to look.
Somehow you just knew
there were secret doors
that needed opening by you.
You will know that you have
prepared all of your life
to knock on the secret doors
now made visible to you.
You however, will not be prepared
at all for the surprising access.
This sacred rite is a gift of grace
that you will have to live into.
You may choose not to look all at once.
You will find messages you wrote
to yourself that you don’t remember writing.
You will find maps that you drew
to places you have never been
but have always missed.
You will step out of who you
have carefully crafted yourself to be
and into who you already are
and it will be natural
It will be natural,
once you get used to flying
without wings or need for certainty.
You will want to tell everyone
about the secret doors we can’t see
because we aren’t looking with the eyes of the heart
the ones we didn’t know were there.
Take your time, there is no hurry here.
Little darlin' take your time.
