Bones

Let’s start at the beginning
where my bones know your bones,
where they can feel them laugh,
mirth ripples echoing
down their shafts,
delight inherent

Let’s start at the beginning
where they confide trustingly
the solid truth about themselves,
the longing and the confidence,
the places they hold open
for the rest of us to play –
how glad they are that we’ve availed ourselves
of their hospitality,
that we have come home here
to be together.

Take possession of your body

Posted on by

At the voice of Truth, your body
thrills in awareness, all its currents
apparent, transparent  – its unobstructed flow
coursing with power. You feel the solidness
of it – not as clay, but as imperative,
the joy of presence, unmovedness
of honesty, the certainty of what it is,
what it must be

Ask your body  – it will tell you
what you may have been trying
to assert. Give it credit,
and give it slack. And finally,
give it comfort, for it deserves to know
you will take care of it,
you have its back.

Recognition

May you feel peace in your toes.
May you feel strength in your feet.
May you feel confidence
in your stride, and joy
in every breath

This moment belongs to you.
This is you as celebration.
This is you as recognition
that every one of your steps
is met with support as deep
as the earth, and what you reach for
rushes to meet you

The fact of your substance
can’t be hidden any longer.
You’ll feel it rising up
more and more each day,
creating the bridge
that closes the gap
and lets all of heaven bloom forth.

House of Justice

The rooms of this house  –
I consecrate them  –
Let them be fully filled
with harmony. Let the rhythm
of Soul so saturate the spaces
that everything within reverberates

This is a house of justice,
so all who enter here
are seen for what they truly are.
There is no frequency here
for false representation  –
it finds no chord and so is left in silence

And even if your truest tone
has so far never sounded,
it will ring out here,
so true are the harmonics  –
if you didn’t know  before,
you will know now,
and so will all the dwellers
in the house.

Demeanor

Let me slip in
with calm confidence,
let me slip into the cage
with no fear of the snarling  beast

I will bring nothing with me –
nothing of pride, nothing of judgment,
I will go with trust
that nothing that I am
can be attacked
and that my fearlessness
can bring the needed evidence,
my love
can bring the needed peace.

Along the shafts

These days I see the light everywhere  –
in the glow of wood grain,
in between the ribs
of all these living vessels of hope
(however much they cover it)

I see it along the shafts of rain,
and in compassion
that rises between the stories
of untold pain. I see it
in how much
everything alive desires to live,
and how the sky
hugs us all around
and holds us in.

Shaken

I love your happy pictures,
your confident success
and the feeling of security
because you have arrived

What is this braided shadow
that I feel? – that everything I see here
will be shaken
one way or another,
but it will be OK

It will be shaken till you know
your worth is not dependent
on this or any other points
you have achieved

They will be shaken
but with infinite compassion
so you feel
the vastness of the blessing of your days,
that your joy is not dependent
on things that can be lost,
and your goodness what can never fade away.

A place of angels

Let us meet each other
in a place of angels,
where there is no baggage
of what we said yesterday,
or what we have said and done
these past thirty-nine years

Let us be caught up in the light
of present splendor,
of coming into
all we are meant to be

Let us blend lights
with all the angels here,
especially the one
we learned so much love from

Let’s apply that learning
to each other and to everyone
who intersects our vision,
who brings their quintessential radiance
into the day.
