Bodypsalm for openings and closings
Bodypsalm for openings and closings
Every closure is an opening
not just because an ending is a beginning
but because the heart has more expanse
than you know
and it beats with openings and closings
in the physical and spiritual realm
as soon as there is a closure
you can be captivated by (re’s)
rethinking, reprocessing, regressing, reloving
as humans we recircle
time and time again
and here
we replenish
loving and leaving
is never a straight line
it is a destination with curves
and does not include a traveler’s map
its nature is rough terrain
one does not need to journey far for a pilgrimage
when you embark on the road of letting go
it has its own stoplights
places you are held back
to relish in the pause
just when you think you
had it all sorted out in your life
you may be rerouted
into a geography of grief
and questions which ache to be resolved..
but this is the land of no quick answers
it is a topography of questions and quest
it is too easy to think
if we just do a little more processing
the door will be completely
open to the mystery of the heart’s lost love
whether that is disappointment, divorce or death
but all doors go to a wider love – a wider country
that has been waiting patiently as a lover
we are being called to the land of the Be/loved
where we will learn to BE
and be loved
Here
there are no closures
only openings
yet our ticket
is most often
one of those closures
that recreate
THE OPEN.
