“Harmonic Clash”  by Dobee Snowber

Mothering is part of us  
being mothers, daughters or sons 
dwelling in the questions and
 in the land of thanks
where mother’s have given us
a garden to grow in.

There can be rocks or blooms
in the landscape of mothering
sprouting from the mystery of life
loving, loosing, loving.

A flesh of intimacy
an intimacy of flesh
Closeness with muscles 
 whether we are physically mothers,
have mothers, or are spiritual mothers
we are invited into

 The great sea of mothering ourselves
breathing compassion to each part of us
love ourselves with a mamma’s love
letting vulnerability have its way

Give yourself what you crave
fire or gentleness, passion or rest
rejuvenation or respiration

Tread softly in your journey
and know this:
the Divine Feminine
is beneath your feet
and loving you
with the whispers of stars.

Bodypsalm for Bodybeginnings

Posted in BODYPSALMS on May 5th, 2011 by Celeste

Each day the petals
unfold their face to the sky
an act of surrender
open hearted to breathe
for a new day

Await each breath as if it was pristine
your lungs living in the glory of
inhabiting air for the first time
everything is old today
everything is new today

all your issues remain
family, finances, relationships, work details, and
endless domestic disasters
but there is a spring
rising within your torso
you know it by its pulse
the energy where you cry yes
to this tiny alive moment

let the morning birds sing inside your chest
and cultivate body beginnings
new ways for fingers to touch earth
glances for being a lover in the world
finding ease through baby steps

the big deals – the big problems
will be with you
but there is something else arising
a ripe heart – a softened soul
an eternal arm embraces your weariness
and calls you back once again
to body beginnings.
