Sweet Darkness

Hello!  It's Januray 20, and the past week was fast and furious, filled with a lot of changes, emotions, and gratefully, surrender.  This morning, I lay in bed til 11:00, just reflecting on life, the light in the room, how things all come together, and how much is happening in so many peoples' lives right now.  Mostly what I love is how much is coming almost instantly to manifestion from thought and desire at this time.  It makes me watch my thoughts more often, more vigilantly.  At a lecture Monday evening, the message came to, in the morning, spend 5 minutes thinking of all the things that I love.  Nothing else.  Just feel, see, hear,the things that make me happy, and they will happen.  They are already happening, just need me to open the door to them. What a fun exercise that has been!!  Some of what I was doing in bed this morning, too.

A friend sent me for Christmas several pages of poetry by all different authors, and they are all so beautiful, inspiring, lovely!   I share this one with you from David Whyte; it seemed to affirm my staying in bed today, being in sleep and slumber, rest and repose, dark and stillness.  AMen!!! 
'
When your eyes are tried the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark where the night
has eyes to recognize its own.
There you can be sure you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and
the sweet confinement of your aloneness to
learn - anything or anyone that does not
                                                          bring you alive is too small for you.
