the most sacred space
of any life
is to be treasured
and honoured
for what it is
the most sacred space
of life
power
when being soft and open
no longer means
feeling helpless and ridiculous
peace might settle
through a different kind of power
harmony
making peace
with ourselves
can be
a first step
towards harmony
taking in
a midsummer morning’s tenderness
celebrating light
at its fullest
taking in the world
as it is
blessing life in all its aspects
air
tenderness and care
can be a challenge in itself
though so marvellous to see
unfolding in the air
back
wind blowing away the heat
rain refreshing the air
bringing back to a certain kind of balance
a certain kind of sensitivity
defensiveness
it can be necessary
to lie down
in order to let go
of a whole life of
defensiveness
compress
heavy heat
and heavy fatigue
compressing the mind
into new awareness
dialysis
filtering anxiety
through layers of light
separating the superficial
from the essence
might be
a question of survival
arrogance
when insecurity finds its expression
in arrogance
getting into the essence of
what is actually being said
can sometimes take a war
