Human Being

The following is an expression of my present understanding of the landscape of human experience on earth.

b o d y

our EARTH, our mother, gently calling us to remember . . . homeshe moves with the heartbeat of the world, flowing, flowingwe call on our connection with this planet to knowhow to act, how to grow, how to transformare we in our taste at this very moment?are our feet grounded like roots?in the here, in the nowvery simplybeing.

h e a r t

the FIRE that ignites our being and aims its sight on our deepest desiresa pulsating passion, at times anger, lust for and toward creationcan we love in a way that knows not how to think?the power of giving…to ourselves, him, her, itpumping staccato rhythm bursts openuniverses beyond our wildestdreams.

m i n d

the WATER…the vast ocean of our magnificent and wise unconsciousa feminine knowing that underlies our decisions and actionscan we hear our own voice and those of others?can we receive the wisdom of the natural mystic?feel the waves building into a dance of chaosunbridled wildness that births lucidityand lights the path tofreedom.

s o u l

breath of life, the AIR which allows us to become embodied here on earththat beautiful divine part of us detectable in the glimmer of our eyesunique for each person, though flowing from the same sourcethe lyrical expression of individual creativitythe feminine receiver which can smellthe truth and knows whenit is time tolet go.

s p i r i t

the ETHER that permeates space and reaches through the boundaries of timethe unnameable but not unknowable energy of universal consciousnesshow can we come into union with that which is not truly separate?by looking inward in stillness, by healing, by surrenderthrough feeling the touch of otherswhile accepting polaritythis is how we learnwho we reallyare.
