Of Kings and Queens


“I know I have but the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king.” – Elizabeth I Tudor

Human beings are mortal. We temporarily inhabit these bodies, transitory guests on this earth, and we are far from perfect. But how can we be perfect? We are constantly in flux. Every day we change. Every day our cells die and renew. Expansion is inevitable. Our bodies provide it every second, whether we consciously know it or not.

We are inconsistent in all senses. We are flawed. It is by nature that we have these blemishes and imperfections just as it is by nature that we strive to fix them. The shortcomings of what each of us is living right here and now are the impetus to our desires.  They are our stepping blocks to the kingdom of our godliness.

Our imperfect bodies and busy minds diminish, but our essence shines evermore.  In body we are weak, but in spirit we are strong. In heart and soul we are kings and queens. In love, we are the fearless guardians of divine light. You and I were born from the rays of god’s majesty.

Soul of all souls, life of all life – you are that. Seen and unseen , words or no words  – YOU, my kings and queens, are all of that.

So ignore those that make you fearful and sad. Let go of all that brings you pain. Give up to grace. You are not the day’s minutia. You are not the story you have told yourself a thousand times. Become nothing and turn into everything. Be like melting snow – wash yourself of yourself. Appear as you are. Be as you appear. Be in love.  Welcome all that comes into your life. Listen carefully and hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.

The road that leads to the kingdom of your heart is endless. Go without mind and body. Go fearlessly, with pockets light and the weight of gold inside your chest, your crown of jewels ablaze. Claim the thrown to your imperial soul forevermore.
