It occurred to me after writing last week's blog, that I have written a poem for almost all of the meditation images in my book, Opening the Heart: Meditations on How to Be. I'm posting that ones that I have written for images that I posted last week - I suppose in an effort to round out last week's post about movement. Also because I realized I haven't posted much poetry lately.
Call to Action
Live in Your Blood and Bones
Feet connecting
to the ground,
bones stacking
up on top of
bones. Creating
a lattice work
for blood, muscle
to exist.
Blood courses
through bones, muscles,
organs, and skin.
Blood brings life
and sustenance, making
it possible to stand,
to connect
Be present.
Be mindful.
Live.
The Song of Life
Pythagoras supposedly
theorized on the harmony of
the spheres: the mathematical
equations by which planets
move creating a symphony.
What if Pythagoras had it
right?
What if all the electrons,
protons, and all other bits of atoms
orbiting the nucleus create
harmony, frequency, music?
Is it possible then, to find
our harmony, that harmony
made up of all the harmonies
of our too numerous to think about
atoms?

Call to Action
Breathing is not
enough
the angels said.
Action is the
counterpart to breath.
One must be in the world,
making the dreams, hopes, wishes
solid, real.
Question: how do you breathe and act
in the same moment?

Be Playful
Be playful
the angels said.
Have fun, moments
of joy. Laugh. Dance.
Let the energy swirl
and carry you merrily
onward.

May we all find the movement that helps us change, transform, and well, move onward.
