Once More, I Return to the Beloved

There comes a moment,

Not marked by thunder or triumph,

When the soul simply turns… not because it is lost, but because it remembers the way.

I do not return in defeat.

I return in reverence.

Not to reclaim control, but to offer everything I’ve become,

At the feet of the One who never asked for perfection — only presence.

This time, I do not ask for signs.

I do not ask for outcomes.

I ask only to be aligned with the soft flame that has always guided me,

Even when I forgot it was there.

Today, I do not rise to fight.

I rise to kneel.

I rise to serve.

I rise to love.

Once more, not because I must ,

But because I choose to return to the Beloved.

Vow Renewal

I offer my life as a flame of devotion.

Not to an image,

Not to a name,

But to the living presence of the Divine within all beings.

I offer my work, that it may no longer come from striving,

But from love, clear, whole, and free.

I offer my silence,

That it may no longer be isolation, but communion.

I offer my wounds,

That they may become gateways of compassion.

I offer my voice,

Not to be heard, but to sing truth into this world.

I offer my body,

That it may carry tenderness where there is none.

I offer my existence,

Not for recognition, but as an instrument of Your remembrance.

I no longer ask what comes next.

I surrender to Bhakti as my teacher.

I surrender to Love as my compass.

I surrender to You, who were never separate from me.

May each breath be a prayer.

May each step be a song.

May each offering nourish the Divine in all.

This is my path.

This is my home.

This is my return.

So be it!
