unpolished thoughts 1/25/2019
Calm and powerful,
Confident and kind, asking
Questions skillfully.
Watching, listening,
Internally lengthening,
Breathing globally.
Connecting hands and
Minds, we enter into a
Gentle dialogue.
Our capacities
Are awakening, and so
Are the old stories.
New stories and old,
In a gentle dialogue.
Possibilities.
Power from a place
Deep inside, many of us
Didn’t know before.
The discovery
Of your own strength will change you.
You’ll walk diff’rently.
In between places
That once seemed to be the same
Lies a hidden truth.
Harvesting the seeds
Of a hidden field of dreams,
We mark the way back.
Foreign lands become
Known. Foreign faces become
Friends, or more than friends.
A world emerges,
A vision at least. Grounded,
Connected, human.
The act of learning
Is inconvenient and
Also beautiful.
The stories do not
Rewrite themselves without the
Help of patient ears.
The warmth of friendly
Hands that listen permeates
The conversation.
The spreading of new
Sensations illuminates the
Next questions to ask.
The asking of the
Questions challenges the old
Stories, and the new ones.
Insides and outsides
Connected through words and touch,
Breath and thoughtful ground.
In a large room our
Moving parts, seek the wholeness
Of community.
