Preparing to Fly
As we stand on the precipice of the dawning of a new age
something is stirring within us.
We feel it within our hearts...our blood...
and in every cell of our bodies
....it is time to fly.
All of our fear and doubt and old patterning
seems to be rising to the surface now,
to be released and cleared,
lightening the load that we carry ...
hollowing our bones ...preparing us for flight.
As the spirit of the Mother Eagle gently yet firmly
pushes us to the edge of the nest of the old world,
there are times when the urge to return to sleep is strong.
We wrap ourselves in the comfort of what we have come to know,
yet something inside calls us back to the edge of the abyss...
that place of infinite possibilities ...of new beginings ...
of freedom ...of being reborn.
Within our minds our logic may be telling us that if we leap,
we may fall and if we fall we may die,
for only with the death of the old ways,
can the birth of the new arrive.
Still, we continue to prepare our wings and set our course,
as all of the universe is watching.
With each feather that we groom something new
is being revealed and something old is being released,
for change and the unknown
have become the order of these times.
Subtle messages within moments that seem like magic,
remind us of why we are here in this moment in time,
as glimses of Heaven on Earth are being revealed.
As we move closer and closer to taking that leap of faith
we come to realize that we must surrender to the fall,
before our wings can carry us home.
What brave light warriors we must be to set out on this journey
of conquering the path of fear and the battles within,
and to go forth to create a new world
of peace, love and joy.
As we walk this path together, helping each other along the way,
remember that we are all magnificent gifted beings of light and love,
and that together ...we will fly.
With blessings on Eagle Wings,
