Bodypsalm for the Subtle

Posted in LINKS on May 24th, 2010 by Celeste

There is a vast universe
awaiting in the subtle
qualities of texture and hints
of an afternoon breeze
and the marks on your hand
the unfolding of an hour of silence
scents of wild roses in spring
morning shadows dancing on the wall
mist and fog become a welcome adagio
to the space between mountains
crossing your path with a slice of tenderness

Dare to take notice to the infinite
wrapped in the inconsequential
the tiny moments that emerge
let emptying be a spiritual practice
the listening of rain
an act of ecstatic hearing
a rush of fresh air in the lungs
a tango of breath

Meet the dried branch
with a new hospitality
every object has its wonder
in the essence of imperfection
Celebrate the natural order
the essence of things
and lie down in the meadow
of your own worries
and let the stillness of night
speak to your heart.

Know there is another way
working beneath the grand schemes of your life
uncontainable as the mist at sea
guiding you in a new season
where what is perceived as small
has capacity to move mountains

Bodypsalm for Interruptions

Posted in LINKS on May 11th, 2010 by Celeste

You’ve been stopped in your tracks
the track record isn’t happening
the dreams and path you are on
have come to a halt
now is a place of being marinated
into a time of grace
a chapter of listening to your deepest dreams

the pace you have been keeping
has been an endeavor
in sustaining yourself as a superhero
the happenstance is an interruption
whether it is sickness, accident, loss or change
Here is something else asking for attention
it has the flavor of
the slow turning of a season
the unfolding of a spring lilac
the time of the great unfurling.

There are many ways to perceive
your present situation
it can be a place of mold
or a sacred space to stop
and attend to a way of being
where your limitations breathe
you into slowing down
and dive into deep seeing  – deep listening
to what has been asking for your presence.

Nothing is as it seems
your eye is in the formation of bearing light
this is what the world needs
and your bodysoul is aching for
Turn and twirl into the
ancient knowing of your own heart.

Here is the invitation for infinite mercy
and enduring com/passion
for not meeting your own goals
in your own specific timing.

There is a timing of the universe
bearing the depths of who you are and will be
releasing into blue comfort
a sea of silence
the door to what you do not know.
Shift the paradigm of knowledge
may your unknowing be your great gift
and entry to what can never
be taken from you
the sweet taste of the divine
loving you from the inside out
and returning you to what animates
your very essence.
