Morning Invocation

Today, I open past my defenses.

Today, I open past my defenses.

I feel the edges in my opening, the places where I usually stop opening, stop loving, and stop expressing.

I feel those guardrails, those walls that hold me at a certain level of openness.

Today, I make an effort to open just a little bit beyond those defenses, beyond that habit, and beyond that place.

Like an athlete stretching, I don't spend every day just stretching to the same place as yesterday.

In my heart, and in my openness, in my emotions, and in my spirit, I stretch a little further each day. Like a yogi practicing a new pose, I practice the pose of opening.

I let my heart and soul expand just a little bit more every day, and I open past my defenses today.
