We bring ourselves to the Feast


We can only ever bring to the world
what we were given...
be it fear, or love, or pain.

But until we soften our gaze and see through the eyes of honor;
open our heart and feel through devotion,
awaken our mind through consciousness and
learn to dwell in the wisdom pool of the soul,
it will only ever be someone else's offering.

There is no getting it "right",
there is only what you choose to bring.

We sit at the table of the Gods,
and we are the feast.

I am open to any and all serious and related commentary, or poetic leavings on this site. I do not accept advertisement of any kind, phishing or web-links unrelated to subject matter from specific postings, no matter what language or country it comes from.

So, in other words, go sell it somewhere else.

Blessings,

I have understood this but never articulated it as eloquently as the poem you shared.
I'd like to add that 'transcendence' of one's pain, suffering, and many levels of limitations are like peeling the skin off and offering it up as food for the ravening wolves.
The pure heartlight is the manna you get to share to those still suffering... and give THEM permission to do the same by standing in that space so they know what it looks like.
