When we Open the Door of our Heart
We open Ourselves up to a larger World
Beyond the small Self
When we Close all Doors
- For the Outside World seems to be too Overwhelming -
We find Ourselves Alone
Stewing in our own Thoughts
Dwelling in our own Misery
It's impossible to Look Out through our Heart's Eye
For All Windows are Covered
For all Doors are Locked
So when we do wish to Look Out
We climb up to the Attic
To look out from our Mind's Eye
The trouble with the Mind's Eye
- When coming from a Closed Heart -
Is that it's Clouded Over
We are wearing Milky Glasses
So thick we can't Perceive the World Clearly
When the Heart is Closed
Our Mind becomes like a Glass of Polluted Water
And you just keep Stirring the Same water
Over and Over
Water mixed with the same Old Debris
That's been Collecting over Life Times
Opening the Heart Scares a Lot of People
Fear it may be too Overwhelming
The Flood of Emotions that may Arrive on our Doorstep
Painful Memories that may come knocking on the Door of our Heart
Fear of the Flood
In Ancient Egypt the Flood was Welcomed
Hapi, God of the Nile was revered for the Fertility it Brought
Depicted with Breasts
Honouring the Nourishing Nature of the Flood
For the flood waters cleansed the Banks of the Nile
And brought much needed Irrigation
Once the Flood Retreated
Healthy and Fertile Soil Remained
Ready for planting new Seeds
When the Flood Gates Open
Initially it may feel Intense
For the Waters Rise Steadily
Creating pressure on the Banks
These initial Waters bring with Them
All the Pollution and Debris
Collected over Time
Initially this may be All we See and Experience
Yet if we keep the Flood Gates Open
The continuous Stream of Clear Waters
Will cleanse and clear the Debris
If instead we Choose
To either keep the Flood Gates Closed
Or quickly Shut them back down again after Peaking Out
Then we Continue to Dwell
In our own Misery
In our own Debris
In our own Pollution
Right now we are at a Time and Space
Where we are Collectively Steeping
In Polluted Waters
Collectively we Closed the Dams
Closed our Eyes
To what was Happening
Yet collectively we feel the Pressure of the Polluted Waters
And right now it Is rising to a Point
Where we only have Two Choices:
1. Either we Consciously Open the Floodgate
2. We keep the Floodgate Closed and Wait for the Dam to Break open Forcefully
For the Waters are Rising
The Pressure is Building
Beyond the Capacity of the Dam
We all Feel It
Whether we want to or Not
Opening the Floodgate by Choice is not for the Faint of Heart
Often I feel like slamming the Door Shut
When it feels too Overwhelming
At times it can feel just Hopeless
It can feel like tredding through Heavy Thick Mud
Filled with Grief, sadness, fear and Anger
Sometimes I'm under the illusion I'm swimming in a Private Pool
Filled with the Waters of my own personal Emotions
Other times I'm aware of the Collective Sadness, Grief, Fear and Anger
Aware I'm actually swimming in a Public Pool of Collective Emotions
I come back to my dance with Menieres
Menieres is a Teacher
Menieres is teaching me how to Swim
Menieres has shown me when my Circumstances
Make me physically feel so Ill that I wish to Quit
It helps me to dwell in my Heart
To dwell in Trust
And to Surrender
Rather than continue to dwell in my Worried Mind
When I do so, it doesn't change the World
I'm still riding the wild waves of Vertigo
But at least I'm not adding to Create
Wild Waves in the Whirlpool with my Mind
Instead I'm creating a Peaceful Pool in the Middle of it All
Where I can dwell in the Peaceful Light of my Mind
While going through the Motions
I'm a Slow Learner
It took me at least 7 years out of 11
Before I became conscious I had a Choice
That I could create a Peaceful Pool
It did also help when I started to become Aware
That there was something larger at Play
That I was not only swimming in a Public Pool
But instead I am swimming in a Cosmic Pool
This morning as I stepped out the back Door
To head out for Meditation at the Art Studio
My eye caught the Twinkling Light of a Star
I checked my App
- For the Nightsky is a big Mystery to Me -
And I found out the Twinkling Star
Is Draco's Left Eye
Draco ~ Dragon ~ Constellation
She has been Calling me for a while Now
Draco is always with Us
Circling around the Polestar
While other Constellations may Come and Go
- Dipping Above and Below the Horizon -
Draco is pretty much Always There
Sitting in the Art Studio
I look up through the Skylight
And spot a Twinkling Star
Again I check my App (oh so handy....)
And indeed it is Draco's Left Eye
It makes me feel less Alone
Even though we are Light years apart
She's bringing her Sweet Light
Into my Being through my Eyes
My Mind's Eye would like to Know
So many Things about this Star
Yet when I dwell in my Heart's Eye
I feel a deep Love
A deel Longing
And a deep Embrace
I become Aware Draco has many Stories to Tell
Stories beyond what is Known to Us
Stories beyond what we can See with our Physical Eyes
These Stories fill me with Hope and Light
These Stories arrive like a Precious Gift
Waiting to be Unpacked by the Warm Fire of the Hearth
I gratefully Accept
And Receive this Gift
Through the Open Door of my Heart
Many blessings of Peace, Love and Light,
Kiki
