Callings come with a thump
They rattle your dreams
Startle you to attention
Callings don’t creep up all quiet and nice
They don’t ask if you are ready
or wait for an invitation to arrive
They aren’t concerned so much
with the dramas or the traumas
that you use as your reason…why not
What is the reason why anyway?
The reason you hesitate or
Will not say yes to the call?
Callings come with a bump
They stir up your mediocrity and
Summon your courageous parts
Callings come through you
Lightning sparks in your
darkened bone-house of being
Suddenly you are turned on
and tuned in and shaking
in your cowgirl boots
Callings can scare you and certainly
will dare you and they do require
your attention and devotion
Callings don’t go away, dear one
Callings come from inside
The nature of callings is to arise
Arise! Arise! Arise!
There is a risk if you say no
It might go dormant for a month or 2
Or 10 years, Don’t miss this, baby!
Callings request a level of presence
In the one being called
They are temper-mental creatures!
So if you are brave enough
and you make an offering on
the altar of Big Change
Or you can also call the
Muse for tea and see if she
Is in the mood to help
I will warn you though
Once it starts to arise
it will begin with a thump
You will feel that throat lump!
Your heart will pump it up!
And you are off into the stars baby!
I will see you there! I work in the
cosmic callings department
Here at the mothership of life
Perhaps you have seen me?
A mystical muse-infused character
Here to activate sacred assignments
I have been waiting for you
I knew you were coming onto the path
How then, shall we begin?
Arise! Arise! Arise!
