From deep within, you unfold petal by petal, awakening the sleeping poetry that has slept all along inside of you. Isn’t this the fragrance that has been waiting all along to be released? Isn’t this the essence that takes you to the whispers of enchantment, when the night seems to weep for you? Come, take a walk inside of you, to see what has been sleeping there, from the beginning of time. Will you come, as time never stands still? Yet when it comes to wandering within, time has always stared at you, wondering whether you will walk away from this inner search or will you pause and look inside? From such a look, comes the search, the roaming eyes within—they travel to the deeps unknown, to places unexplored, so somewhere somehow, they can find an astonishing light of your own being. Will you see the unseen blooms that lie hidden behind the rocks of life? Will you see the untold smiles waiting behind every crushing agony?
Is it not the fount from where ecstasy seems to rise? Is it not the well spring of life, so what once seemed to kill you, at last makes you feel alive? Yes, it is. Have you ever wondered why? As such is the melody of life, the melody that we chase to catch, yet it flies away, but if we hold it loose, it seems to stay in the breath of eternity. Such is the understanding that makes us blow all things in the passing breeze, keeping that is worth keeping, and passing that is worth passing, in the blowing winds. Life breathes in many things, some of which are worth drifting in the wind and some are worth living by the side. It is revealed in the rising light of yourself what to take and what to leave all along this pathway of life. There will always be some questions in your life that will remain unanswered, but those are the ones that will make you think. Why? Look within your soul, see what is not answered. Such is the search for the mysteries of life that beg you to go within your passionate deeps, so you travel from what can be seen to what remains unseen. Let the wind caress against your soul, as in such a caressing will you rest in serenity, in the inviting tranquility will you roam within the unanswered mysteries of life. And there will come a time, when you will be able to make peace with your past, present and give the unknown future in the hands of divine. The unsettled you becomes settled, as you accept the piece of this truth—the truth that comes to knock on your doorway, so you can enter inside an elysian bliss. This act of surrendering when practiced with love, with faith, then becomes an act of beauty. Such a beauty is what life calls from you.
And as you delve deeper and deeper within this beauteous transformation of your very being, you open petal by petal. Such is the releasing of your unreleased fragrance. Have you ever smelled the scent of your own soul? Isn’t it mesmerizing? Does it never take you to the enchantment that lay all along there, hidden deep within your intimate depths? Has your soul ever whispered to you, in its lifelong intimacy with you? Yes, it has. The question is –Have you fallen in for its whispers? Does your heart ever walk into this enchanting invitation? Or do you just push it aside, fearing something so beautiful is going to emerge, that it will almost scare you.
Walk into the enchanting delights of falling in love with yourself, time and time again. As with the rolling of time, you are evolving in a light of consciousness. Time is rolling, and so are you. You are never ever the same. The you that you were yesterday, is different from the you that you are today. Is it not true? Have you never felt the winds of change? Did they ever caress your soul the same way they did yesterday? Life delights to feel your bare soul, with your rare emotions rising through the struggles of life. Would you want to deny such a beauty to yourself, most importantly to life? No, of course not. How can you deny such a beauty to yourself? Is this not the beauty that you wanted to behold for your whole life? To be able to feel in the richest sense of the word, to be able to touch your own soul in a deepest intimacy with your soul—this is called life revealing in its full blooms. This is one life, inviting you to go into its passionate depths. Live it from the dancing ecstasy of your heart. Ride upon the whispering winds, as they have something to say.
Dance in your desires, as this is the dance that will reveal your heart in the light of eternity. From such a dance, a thousand other blooms will be born, every bloom carrying your soul in way, that the world has never seen before. The you that will emerge from this ecstatic dance, will be a soul in the light of awareness, who will whirl in the melodies streaming alive in the heart of this cosmos. Thousand words will write themselves on your heart, filling the book of your life. Thousand pages will bind to create the book of your soul. Every page will carry your heart, the way it was born when seeded with light. Just that, somewhere amidst the struggled, the light got dimmed by the clouds that came in the heavenly blues. Don’t you think, its time, you walk into that light, again? Such is the book that will carry your saga from this lifetime to another for the world to read and carry it on from one age to another. Voiceless, it writes itself out and such is the way, you open petal by petal, unleashing your fragrance. Your fragrance becomes your very voice that once looked like lost. You are the bud, shyly waiting for the rising light so the world can behold your blooming beauty. Be wild and free.
