Waking Undercover

Whisper, Are you awake? 

There you are, hiding beneath the safety of the blankets that cover your life.

Yet you know – there’s something stirring in the depths of your being. Things feel out of sorts or misaligned, there’s a sense of change on the winds of time and a longing for things to be different.

The sirens sound outside your window, a dog barks and the birds sing – and it all seems louder, clearer, connected - within you and yet without. 

And you know – you have so much to be grateful for, and yet you weep. And you don’t know why. You weep for yourself, you weep for others, you weep for the world. And your heart is breaking.

Your heart is breaking open. 

And you’re undercover – you feel so alone. They’ll think I’m crazy you say. What will my boss, my partner, my children, my friends, my family think? I’ll let it pass and pull the blankets back over my life. I’ll return to my slumber. 

And time passes – the nudges become stronger, the longing becomes non-negotiable, the heart calls become so loud – and the blankets begin to fall away …….

You are waking, waking, waking – You are not alone - Welcome Home.
