All that I know clings
massages with certainty
seduces with ecstasy
flows with hunger...
The world, our daily lives, may seem real and predictable;
such is the focus on our routine to meet our needs.
Has there ever been a day without one small, unexpected item, thought, idea or person that came into your life? Right smack in the center of your oh-so-well planned-out routine?
The mantra...
There is a compass inside each
weathered, black with the sand of time.
Buried in a drawer, in the packet of our soul.
The beauty of it, in its case
the rhythm of the world absorbed when touched.
Today we pray;
You are safe,
Breathe
Move, call, breathe big deep long breaths of strength.
Embracing the laughter of stolen kisses,
finding the joy of yourself in the laughter of another.
Close shoulders, backs of hands, smooth lips,
the edge of an ear.
Soul speaks, emits to the ether, the pulse, bang, bump of intertwining of souls.
Innocence of insecurity, playful temptation of emotion.
Saying
all those you can see, those you can not.
The world if full of ether,
joy of a soul who's time has come.
They stand beside you...
The land that you have cultivated.
The people, home and accomplishments you have tended,
the situations you have chosen; the circumstances from which you derive your riches.
Under your rule, has your kingdom prospered?
Is it better now than when you began your reign?
Would you, yourself want to be a citizen of this land?
In the wee, dark hours of the morning
when all is still and one’s thoughts ring out from unknown places
is the decision to face the day with love.
watch as the world unfolds before you.
Navigate with confidence your presence,
be a blessing to those in the area of your physical presence,
many not even knowing you are there.
Full of confusion, terror and goodness.
As pain is forced upon us, we rise.
If there is a prayer to be said today-
let it be of the heart, where all life, and therefore, eternity springs.
Prayer said through the heart,
embraced by the mind
spreads gossamer wings...
For this one safe instance,
drop our defenses,
our emotional suit of armor,
which has been crafted so skillfully to repel the ravages.
Perish the old as the saave sinks deep down into our hearts,
covered with scars,
slowed by haze...
Kinder words can not be spoken that
Hold tightly to the love of your heart, allow your soul to breathe.
Look to others; of their interest, kindness, their love.
Remain prudent of the situation, aware that the world has those who move to take advantage, lurk in the shadows to produce the ill-intentioned and unexpected.
Breathe, be happy.
Your light shines out clear and fast.
Section of a prayer by St. Anthony of Padua
"...Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone
To have a deep soul relationship with another
To be loved thoroughly and exclusively...."
