It is not about becoming more of anything.
More spiritual, more enlightened, more worthy.
It is about becoming less.
Less entangled, less defended,
less identified with what is not truly you.
To be a vessel for the Divine is not to hold on tightly,
but to be emptied out.
To surrender the grasping,
the performing,
the trying to be something.
So that Grace may pour through unobstructed,
unfiltered, unresisted.
We do not need to create the Light within,
we are here to make ourselves clear enough,
true enough to allow it to shine fully through.
This is not a harsh purification,
not a stripping born of shame.
It is a loving softening.
A loosening of all that clings out of fear.
A remembering of the innocence that was never lost, only covered.
To be a good vessel is to be deeply human
and wide open to the Mystery.
It is to be humble enough to kneel
and bold enough to shine.
To be quiet enough to listen,
and spacious enough to let the sacred take up residence
not as a guest, but at the heart of home as the Beloved.
Make yourself available.
Sit in stillness.
Walk with reverence.
Speak only when your words can rise from the Heart.
Not to impress,
not to teach,
but to serve what is true and holy.
This is the sacred art of receptivity.
This is how the Divine finds hands to heal,
eyes to bless,
voices to uplift.
Through you.
Through me.
Through the willingness to be used in love.
And so we bow.
Not because we are small,
but because what moves through us is so vast.
So entirely vast.
