“Remember first that everything you think, say, and do is a reflection of what you’ve decided about yourself; a statement of Who You Are; an act of creation in your deciding who you want to be. Never do anything in relationship out of a sense of obligation. Do whatever you do out of a sense of the glorious opportunity your relationship affords you to decide, and to be, Who You Really Are.”
Neale Donald Walsch

To find, one must seek; to love, one must become the beloved.

You can decide what you choose to be consciously or unconsciously, but you cannot sidestep the deciding. It is either happening automatically, as a response, or intentionally, as a creation, but it is happening—continuously.
Neale Donald Walsch

Startles me awake! Night Whispers in Echoes; Owl Haunts Awakens the Dreamer from Night’s Trance.
Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo, Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo.
Sing Me a Lullaby, Owl; Dream Me a Dream, Remind Me a Memory, Of Childhood Long Past.
Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo, Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo.
I hear Owl’s Call, Then the Other’s Response; I breathe and wait in unison, Breath Syncs into Owls’ Refrain,
Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo, Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo.
Faint, Your Cooing Stills; Then Whisks Me to Far-Away Hills; Mysteries and Rhymes, Like Rock-A-Bye Chimes,
Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo, Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo.
Fading, Lagging, Distant the Cooing. Wishing Wings Were Mine to Sprout; Take Me, Lead Me, Lift Me Up and Out; Usher Me into Night’s Quiet Keeping. Float Me on Winds and Wings; Sail Me on Winds and Waves; Sing Me in Harmony, Owl; Guide Me to the Place of Still.
Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo, Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo.
Owl’s Song, Off then On. Night Echoes, Owl’s Haunt; Owl’s Swoop, Owl’s Sweep; Owl’s Mystery Dreams Itself, Myself, back to Sleep. Sweet Sleep, I’m Coming; Rock Me, Lull Me, Cradle Me Softly. Can You Here Me, I’m Falling! Owl’s Chanting its Song of the Night; Good Night, Dear Girl, Dream Light.
Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo, Cuck-coo-whoo-whoo.
