Untangling the Knot

I’ve set myself the work of deepening into Love. And, of course, when you set yourself a work in the positive direction, you find it’s opposite.

There is a knot. A big one like of white yarn and cords all tangled together and hard to separate.

If the knot were unravelled the thread would lead straight into my Heart.

I’m exploring unravelling.

At the crux of this thing, this knot, I’m finding fear and grief and fear of grief. And it is strong enough to make me want to stop untangling and pull up short to where Love feels a little safer.

Love from a distance.

But that’s not enough for me anymore.

Love from a distance won’t see me through and won’t cover my people when they need it most. Love from a distance won’t help us transform this world.

We all need something more. We all gotta go straight to the Source, straight to the Heart.

So if that means holding my ground and letting fear burn through me until it burns away - then hand me the matches and watch me set this tangle ablaze.

Love will rise from those ashes.
