Being Somebody, Being Nobody
sky-like mind
ocean-breeze breath below
a mountain of peace
in just sitting
sensing the space of self
In meditation, it's possible to let the limiting sense of self settle, and allow the larger space of self to emerge.
Embodying the Elements
sacrum, sacred base
of the trunk, the spine
gluteal muscles aflame
will this tree fall or stand?
windy thoughts cry for help
trying to fix the flames
cognition only fuels the fire
where is the Earth's support?
envision burnt bark, dead tissue
bursting with new life
compassionate rain falling
on a tiny green sprout
wind and fire
let the water come to you
the forest won't burn down
if there is fluid understanding
Pain can be a pathway to suffering, or a poetic prescription for healing.
