Creation

Creation

This morning, while pondering over today's new moon and what it means for me, I opened a poetry book that I recently received upon recommendation from another poet in the mail.

Pretty soon into the book, I came across this quote:

"Found within that which you long to steep, is the very thing you must eventually create." - Stirrup of the Sun & Moon, Frank LaRue Owen

Next was not just a moment of introspection, but a multidimensional moment of awe, curiosity, motivation and inspiration. I thought to myself, I must get this message out at once. It all seemed so clear to me in an instant.

The way I took it was, when we are going through life in search of something, in need of something, trying to fill that empty space inside of us...one eventually realizes through a poem like this or through their own way...that that thing we are searching for is never coming.

We need to create it ourselves. Our pain is our purpose.

For me, I have always been searching for a certain warmth. Acceptance. I have been looking for this in everyone and everything since I could remember. It has caused me to do irrational things, shameful things. Things that just didn't feel aligned with my true soul. Especially as a young one.

Nowadays even though the effects are more subtle, I find this insatiable need sometimes sneakily luring me off my true path. I even know when it's happening, but it's almost like I'm on autopilot. Like there is two of me. And then the third me is watching from above, in a very loving way, chuckling.

That warmth, that acceptance, and specifically a container that helps me be free to be me regardless of opinion, praise or criticism is what I need to create for myself. Where to start? I have some ideas.

I hope the quote above inspires you like it did me to first of all think of what is it I am searching for? And secondly, to take action to create that for yourself. No longer do I want to be a victim to the autopilot patterns of my traumatic past. I want to dance the dance with the void, etch closer to a balance of control and surrender. All while in my nice little warm, accepting bubble.

In there you say our pain is our purpose. Made me realize I am overflowing with purpose. I'm quite willing to sell or trade with anyone willing. Giggles aside. Great that your reflect and wonder at all this stuff we deem reality. Let me know when you want to co author a book on metapoetry.

The past is over, and the future is on course, there is only the infinite passion of life itself right here in the now.

For it helps to avoid this trap by looking to the past as a rudder and never an anchor :)
