Becoming

Music can reach into the depths of our souls. Why one piece of music touches us while another doesn't, is as mysterious as our own divinity. Combine the poetry of a song with its fulfilling notes, and we can be transported. It speaks to us.

I cannot share the melody, but I can share the lyrics from this song by Jewel. It so eloquently expresses how our heart speaks to us, and moves us forward into the realization of our greater selves.

May you leap into your own heart!


BECOMING

Listen, heart
Listen close-listen
2 the melancholy
Melody of your own voice
I am weary
Of my own dreaming
I am tired of waiting
So this time, I'm leaping

CHORUS-
I reach-beyond myself 2 see
What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time,
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing my becoming

Lash myself 2 the
Mantle of my desire-I will
Turn from its temptations
But the wanting takes me higher
I am hurting
Oh, I am not yet born
I am the mother and the father
Of what is not yet known
Darkness surrounds me
I scratch, I struggle, I breathe

I reach-beyond myself 2 see
What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time,
In this place beyond my sight
My heart knows what is not yet seen
I'm witnessing my becoming
