Rachel Snyder: Love is Looking For You, September 28, 2014, https://rachelsnyder.wordpress.com
Rachel writes gorgeous poetry about consciousness for her blog Be Whole Now.
On her blog, she wrote this as a prelude to posting it:
“I first wrote and posted this piece in Spring 2010 — and just pulled it out of the archives in response to ‘Where is the Love?’, this very personal and potent post by Andrea Scully at Golden Age of Gaia. (1) The audio version is brand-spanking-new.”
You can listen to her audio version here, if you’d like. Thanks to Rachel for her permission to share this with you.
Love is looking for you
She’s peering behind the blinds you drew against her radiant glare
Bumping up against blossoms shuttered from her smile
Rustling among the remnants of disappointment and regret
Everyone in the garden is beloved.
Love is waiting for you
A golden chalice engraved with your name rests upon the table
While you sleep, she offers you a drop of nectar ambrosial
Her patience has no bounds
She will not leave until you let her in.
Love is calling you
She is so very close
Her whisperings all but lost amid the clanging din
Have you shut out her voice, closed your ears to the music?
She never tires of speaking your name.
Love is looking for you
Wants you to look back square in her face
Unblinkingly reveal the recesses of your heart
Gaze upon the simple beauty therein
Accept with grace the invitation as issued.
(and all this time,
you thought you were looking for her)
