Leaving and Arriving

Leaving and Arriving

This is the space in between. 
A space where leaving what is known
Means walking into Mystery, into the unknown.
Letting this life that is soul centred 
unfold in a beautiful way. 

This unfolding brings 
celebration, 
excitement, 
energy. 

It also brings 
emptiness, 
A calling to stand alone. 
It is lonely here 
filled 
with the grief 
that comes with letting go.  

But is it letting go?
No, the leaving 
isn’t letting go,
or getting rid of something.

It is about letting pieces drop 
So they nourish 
The becoming, 
The calling to a soul filled life. 
So it is not 
letting go 
but growing from.
