Trusting the Uncertainty

1 Reply

Early evening standing near the shore and watching the water rolling in .  It feels like an act of witnessing , simply witnessing  , on this very fine night .  Occasional  bits of life  from the Sea or man left on the sand .  Will it be natural or will it be a harm ?

Early evening standing near the shore , feeling the strength of the Sea , and inviting myself to step back from the outer bits of life that call to  us to be small . There is freedom in a roar and peace as it recedes .

Not knowing what will be discovered as the depths of the living spirit rise to the surface but giving the uncertainty to trust is freedom as well . It is wise  to move towards the unknowing since that is where the boundaries are released and heartfelt exploration takes place . 

Ancient Memories

Trees , the kind that seem to free , are welcoming and wispy .

Some seem to have limbs dancing lightly against the sky .

Take pause to listen and they may  speak so that you can hear .

Their wildness in the winds harnesses ancient memories  .

Exposing the might  ,  exposing the fright .

They live so that others may live .

They  give so that you will receive  .

Trees , the kind that always to used to be free  , thank you .

Left alone  in the quietness  of the heart  and turned away from distractions ,

It is strong and sweet  .

Fearless towards laughter that is loud and the tears that  wait to flow ,

It is both  wise and naive .

Left alone in the quietness of the heart and  away from doubt ,

It is subtle though  not at all meek .

Close your eyes with love as the day has been done and watch your heart wander .

When I see a face with the weight of sorrow it is a moment of  seeking to love .

If welcomed  into your eyes there  may be softening , a gentle glow when you know you are visible .

When I  see a smile easing itself out from the  depths then the connection becomes alive .

If a breath to show life is shared hen why not the sorrows and the fears ?

When I walk to feel the sweet Earth beneath my feet and pause to know you are feeling her too , then we are connected .

If  a  chance meeting with a song from a bird so close on the branch that the smile overtakes me  so that I think of you .

When given the chance to see how compassion has brought new light for us all  to see

then I am free.

The Coziness of Our Beloved Earth

When she is able …

she will hold you gently amongst ancient trees , inviting you to hear their songs .

When she is permitted …

she will caress you with waters running free ….to clear away your debris .

When she is given notice …

she will reveal  miracles , sometimes in a place as small as a speck of light .

When she is respected …

her giving flows and flows .

Thank you beloved  Earth .

In my dreams  ,  in deepest mediation I fly free .

I enter this life carrying the open heart from all of the lifetimes gone by .

And when the walls from the lower place of the  ego place are in the way I , sometimes , rise

and I , sometimes , fall.

Try and try again I try to see in a singular  breath all  of the grace

alive in the sacred space of life .

Alone and never alone .
