I was told many years ago that there was a chest-hidden
beneath many layers and tucked far far away inside of me. At the time I did not
really believe it.
A corner of my mind not willing or ready
Tucked away
I needed a key I did not know I had or was supposed to be
searching for.
I had always assumed the hidden chest would be scary. I
had never imagined it would be good and welcoming.
Two weeks of stress-months of stressful events actually that
led to the unlocking. On the plane….half asleep..half awake…on the way to Switzerland…the
sun rising magnificent out my airplane window
I
was swimming in a beautiful ocean
Way
way way down
I
was a mermaid
On a
mission to unlock the chest
Swimming
down and down and down
Allowing
myself to feel..to know..to understand
Let
it in
Reaching
it-turning the key
Opening
it
Not
scary at all
All
sorts of hearts came floating out from it
Hearts
into me

Felt
Released
Hearts
to me and floating back upwards
Light
and dreamy
Feeling
free
Pressure
lower
Breathing
more easily
An audible
sigh to remind me of relaxation
Energy
goes where attentions goes
Forgiveness
Release
Understanding
Floating
back up to the surface not even out of breath
With
hearts in hand. Millions of them
Floating
up and taking in the air of the real world
Knowing
with certainly it was all ok
I
can learn it. I can give it. I must.
Keeping
my treasure chest for me. Mine only. My secret. My mermaid. My key. No need to share what was found. Don't ask as I will not tell.
The
simplicity and aloneness of the search
What
has been locked inside of me is now unlocked
My gift. To me.
