THESE TRIGGERS
These triggers
That may have
Guided your hand
Over many years
Are doorways
To a deeper union
With yourself
With others
And with the divine
But, like all doorways,
You can only reach the new room
By going through
Awareness itself is not enough
Something energetic must happen
Like the shedding of an old skin
And that is where the challenge is
For that which must be surrendered
Has been held close and precious
And a self has been built around it
All that must go
This is what is meant by going naked.
