Instructions for Disappearing

It’s easy to be invisible.

All you have to do

is go with the flow,

make yourself small,

*

do a little people pleasing dance.

*

It’ll only cost you your soul.

*

You’ll feel the price of it,

living inauthentically,

being all things to all people,

stuffing down your own Truth.

*

A meek member of the throng,

stifling your own essence,

desperately following the crowd

in hopes of being Seen.

*

But Disappearing – that’s different.

Another thing entirely, because

you’re moving away from the flock

and walking your own path.

*

Disappearing means you embrace

the reality that you

are

Everything.

*

A Being of Light, made of

stardust and empty space,

the entire Universe within you,

an eternal soul living a human experience.

*

And when you live this reality,

you no longer chase – you

attract,

you trust the gifts you’ve been given,

*

trust the lessons you’re learning,

trust the healing that brought

you here

in the first place.

*

The quantum field within

and outside of you teaching you

to burn the seeds of karma

and turn memory into wisdom.

*

And as you glide into that future Self

in the Now, you

just

disappear

*

from the mundane world,

taking your rightful place

in the richness

of All That Is.

*

Breathe in,

breathe out, and

just

disappear

*

into the life

you have

only

imagined.
