The Invitation

When you least expect it
you may find yourself back there again—
old thoughts, old hurts, alive once more.
What you thought was healed
seems open and sore again.

Remember, you have done this work,
you have settled that past,
healing and wholing has happened, 
and you can choose—
go there again, or

Step back from that edge,
feel your bodily no, 
press palms with something new.
Come, meet your power—

what do you want instead?
