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 . . . home
she moves with the heartbeat of the world, flowing, flowing
we call on our connection with this planet to know
how to act, how to grow, how to transform
are we in our taste at this very moment?
are our feet grounded like roots?
in the here, in the now
very simply
being.
h e a r t
the FIRE that ignites our being and aims its sight on our deepest desires
a pulsating passion, at times anger, lust for and toward creation
can we love in a way that knows not how to think?
the power of giving…to ourselves, him, her, it
pumping staccato rhythm bursts open
universes beyond our wildest
dreams.
m i n d
the WATER…the vast ocean of our magnificent and wise unconscious
a feminine knowing that underlies our decisions and actions
can 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 chaos
unbridled wildness that births lucidity
and lights the path to
freedom.
s o u l
breath of life, the AIR which allows us to become embodied here on earth
that beautiful divine part of us detectable in the glimmer of our eyes
unique for each person, though flowing from the same source
the lyrical expression of individual creativity
the feminine receiver which can smell
the truth and knows when
it is time to
let go.
s p i r i t
the ETHER that permeates space and reaches through the boundaries of time
the unnameable but not unknowable energy of universal consciousness
how can we come into union with that which is not truly separate?
by looking inward in stillness, by healing, by surrender
through feeling the touch of others
while accepting polarity
this is how we learn
who we really
are.
