Moment of ok

​There was a moment lying
With you in the glory of skin
Where I was transported to a sense of OKness
You were both beautifully and vulnerably you
In that moment
And also
Like all of the Divine
OKness was also Embodied by Us
In the interaction of just being there


There was nothing more I needed in that moment
But perhaps To offer you the gratitude
That my voice Would not speak
Because I was afraid that if I opened my mouth and said so
that You would Run away
that You would Not believe
That in that moment
It was perfect ....


I'm sorry I could not say so ....
Thank you
For that one precious moment
Of letting me know that it's OK ....


It's OK

And I want you to know that too ....

Melt

Deep Winter Ice undoubtedly feels itself to be
solid and cohesive  Holding through even the Sunny
days of Winter  Noting without concern
the water flowing beneath ....

Deep Winter Ice .... Looks  like it will hold us
when we step onto it  And for a moment This is true
And then there becomes a time When our steps
must become cautious and we hang back

The Ice itself notices The thinness That it is feeling
The way that water moving beneath them feels
swifter and  Less languid more urgent .... And that Sun
While welcomed by the birds that are singing now

And the trees that are somehow crackling  Is making
The ice also crack Crack apart crack open
The thin places breaking Washing away .... ....
I wonder how that is To be the Ice

I wonder if the Ice Understands that it is simply part
of the River And in a moment held by circumstance
And then released .... .... I watch the shifting of the Ice
on the River And feel its flow clunky still .... Will that Ice make

a journey to a more open space or will it simply Become
River before it gets there And even as I imagine that expanse
of Water in my mind's eye I realize That Ice or Water
The River Has opened itself To this new horizon .... ....

Daisy on the hill

​Looking at that Daisy, that tiny Daisy really no bigger than my thumb, white with just a hint of a flush or a blush .... nestled on the hillside, a very modest hillside, but there amongst its family, a whole community really of other tiny little Daisies .... in that expanse of green grass, rising up the gentle slope, overlooking the water, the expanse of ocean.


I wonder if the Daisy can see that far. But what the Daisy seems to be looking at is beyond that, is the blue of the Sky, face turned toward the warmth, the Sunshine, open, receiving.

I imagine that Daisy basking in the Sun .... leaves held open, drinking in the Sun and the life-giving Water from the soil. And that's all. Just being Daisy .... There on the Hill, the most gentle of hills, hardly worth rolling down, but lovely to perch on the bottom of, and look up to enjoy the Daisies without crushing them ....

Delight

​I've been reading Ross Gay's Book of Delights .... And have also heard him talk about a moment that spurred him to spend one year noting Delights that he encountered every day and writing a little essay, in longhand, about those moments.  One of his takeaways from this year of noticing Delights was that when you attune yourself, you will find that there is Delight, maybe not everywhere but in everyday there is something that can Delight us.


Even some of the more challenging things in our days can carry moments that Delight us, drawing us back .... To remembering that even in hardship Delights continue to happen in the world.  Sometimes it's a matter of noticing and sometimes is the matter of changing perspective, of looking at something from a slightly different angle.  Sometimes .... it's simply having our eyes open when the Delight flashes by .... ....


I have been savouring The Book of Delights .... And learning to savour the moments of delight that I encounter in my own days ....

Earth and breath

​Before there was this Creation there was nothing. Well not exactly nothing, there was a Great Wind, the essence of Source. And out of that Wind ....  God called into existence Light and Water and Land. God took dirt, dust from the Earth, added Water and started to form like a clay, shaping a being that could walk on the Earth. And using that breath, that Great Wind, God, Source, blew life Into the adam, the human created out of Earth and Water ....


When we connect to the Earth, when we ground to the Earth we ground to the stuff of ourselves. When we drink the Water when we connect to the Water, we are connecting to the stuff of ourselves. And each breath, each breath is a breath of the Divine, is a breath of Source .... A breath of ourselves ....


So each time we connect, each time we breathe, we are reconnecting to the Source of our selves .... Replenishing, renewing .... .... Inhaling that Breath of Life, Grounding to our very Mother ....The stuff of whom we are made comes from the Earth .... The Waters that flow, flow through us .... .... When we heal the Earth we heal ourselves. When we heal Water we heal ourselves. And when we heal ourselves we heal the Earth and we heal the Water .... ....


Source breathed us into being. And so we breathe. And we breathe .... until we stop breathing and return to Source .... ....


Inhaling I breathe in God. Exhaling God breathes in me .... ....
