A love letter to starseeds

Beloved beings, gentle journeyers, sensitive souls,

Who feel at home in the heavens, but not yet on earth;

Rest assured, your celestial origins –

No matter the cosmic path you took to get here –

Do not exclude you from humanity,

Or from belonging on earth.

Your star-heritage does not eclipse your earthly one

For you are welcome and loved wherever you go

And to whatever family, and culture, and planet you are born.

For now, you are human

(and maybe for a long time since, or hence)

You have been born into a rooted system

A structure of inter-connections, of love and experience

You are part of the tapestry of humanity

Even if the threads you contribute have a sparkle to them :-)

A gentle suggestion:

Don’t look to the past, where you once lived

Or to the future, where you will live again

But enjoy the present, and sink in

You’ll be here for some years or decades,

And it’s for a purpose – your personal enrichment,

And the evolution of the species that we are all (for now) part of.

Enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, the Earthly delights

Let yourself be touched by deep feelings

Even those of horror, fear and anger,

The responses to tragedy, suffering and cruelty.

They are part of why you are here, to open up your soul

To new inner chambers, new refractions of light

In the prism of your human heart.

Your embrace of humanity helps us all,

And we cannot be whole without you.

We love you, you are welcome, and you belong.
