"I give up..."

“I must be willing
to give up what I am
in order to become
what I will be.”
― Albert Einstein

really?

I thought this was a process

I thought I was building
towards
something...

line
upon
line

precept
upon

success
upon

demonstration
upon

was I so wrong?

really,
give it all up...

for what?

for Me.

give up all you have done,
accomplished,
demonstrated,
achieved,
become,
gotten,
accumulated...

for the vastness of my
Love,

for the breadth of my Spirit carrying you
beyond the boundaries of
what you can imagine,
lifting you above the glass ceiling,
"ayont hate's thrall,"
over the rubble of a shattered past,
a broken heart
and

into a place
where
there is no
process,
only
revelation,
radiance,
My Love at the
center and circumference,
the core and
carriage,
the concept and form
of My
purpose for
you...

right now.

The gentle night...
a deep, sweet silence to wrap the
beauty of a well-loved day
in the star-strewn velvet
darkness of a midnight
hour...
does not resist the dawning of
a day...
does not
need to drag
the day before into
a new
morning and
its
promise...

So,
open your hand
let it go,
loose it from
the
death grip of
"mine"
and
be ready to receive
all...

and I mean all...

that is
Mine.

then
who will you
be?

you will be
Mine.

And that is
enough of a career,
an identity,
a name...

for You...

my perfect,
glorious,
lovely,
wonderful,
extraordinary,
simple,
joyous,
profoudly
amazing

child...

"Who are you?"
they ask.

"I am His,
only His."
you answer.

It is enough.


"Knock, and He'll open the door.
Vanish, and He'll make you shine like the sun.
Fall, and He'll raise you to the heavens.
Become nothing,
and He'll turn you into everything.”
― Rumi
