We are in the season of Graduation,
diplomas from school,
transitioning from a year of lock down,
the Summer Solstice arriving in days,
perhaps a gifting up of old patterns
an out with the old and in with the new.
What is the creative artist of you asking
for permission to do for a revised edition of you,
the unique, extraordinary expressive you?
What are the mindful questions to ask of yourself,
like a bell ringing that will chime in a blessing,
a sense of appreciation of the road traveled,
and of new gateways opening offering that
greater awareness of a true to Self being?
The magic and mystery of you is waiting for
that greater unfolding that will instill, and install,
the newest edition of deep joy and wonder,
all for the asking, the saying “yes” to.
Now is the time to fly!
The horizon of celebration awaits your arrival.
The only question that remains is
who will you fly with?
Who will be your wing man, helper, encourager,
insight provider, fellow traveler?
This is not a solo journey.
It is a journey of relationships as well as flight.

(Exactly two years ago I wrote a poem that prompted today's above poem)
Being You
The effort of a lifetime is to be you.
It takes practice, intelligence, and being present.
It takes willingness to inquire, to open to unknowing.
It takes love and appreciation of your existing wholeness.
It takes this moment over and over and over again.
It is sharing, caring, and contributing.
It is laughing, singing and dancing in the flow of you.
It takes reshuffling the deck and starting over.
It takes courage and sometimes help.
It takes a desire for the generative, all the challenges,
novelties, connections and creativity that make up the journey.
The payoff, the destination? The reason for it all? The goal?
It is simply you being you. It is showing up.
It is you being responsible for, and committed to,
the area of your territory of the map of being.
It is life expressing Itself
uniquely as you.
The journey is the destination.
Shine your light.
This moment is filled with love,
beauty, goodness, and truth.
It beckons you into the forward path
that is just ahead.

expressing, appreciating, creating, and helping.
In this moment what wants to be loved, served, remembered?
Each is a step toward vivifying the wholeness that is existing within
and all around this sacred pearl of a home in the universe.
The gift is that of Light, Life, and Love .
It is the energy of Awake Being moving in Presence.
It is seeing and being seen.
It is working with, and playing in, the divine currents.
Pause now for two minutes and listen. Really listen.
There is a voice of intuitive guidance asking to be heard.
It is inviting you to fully embody this life dance.

The Daily Way
"You wish to know happiness? Enjoy connection. You wish to know bliss? Set aside the smaller self. Focus not so much on “I” and seek out “we,” “us,” simply being a part of something greater. Connect, connect, connect … with apparently separate humans, animals, nature … it matters not. Connect as one in awareness and you will come to experience your true nature, which is unity. Unity consciousness. Maintain this state no matter what the outer circumstances, and you will understand what inner happiness is.
You are so very loved." - Suzanne Giesemann. - 6-13-21
