What to remember at bedtime
What if I told you rest was the real work?
That when you sleep, you take flight
like a night bird navigating by moonlight
through all that ever was and ever will be.
Know that to live into your infinite potential is to know flight.
Every night you give yourself over to this journey.
You are in the realm of the soul now.
Only she has the map.
Trust her to plot the course through that world
towards what calls you in this one,
to retrieve everything lost and longed for,
to make the invisible visible in your dreams.
Before sleep, remember -
all that is required is your readiness -
I am here night flyer, tell me what you know?
and a promise that on waking you will remember,
to weave what was given into this world
so that when it calls you here
it captures your attention just long enough for you to wonder if,
like distant thunder,
a change is coming.
