Come with me into the expansive gift of poetry to experience a disruption of habitual ways of thinking and perceiving. The magic of poetry happens when it is spoken, heard and felt as vibrations in your body.

Keep me fully glad with nothing. Only take my hand in your hand. In the gloom of the deepening night take up my heart and play with it as you list. Bind me close to you with nothing. I will spread myself out at your feet and lie still. Under this clouded sky I will meet silence with silence. I will become one with the night clasping the earth in my breast. Make my life glad with nothing. The rains sweep the sky from end to end. Jasmines in the wet untamable wind revel in their own perfume. The cloud-hidden stars thrill in secret. Let me fill to the full my heart with nothing but my own depth of joy. - Rabindranath Tagore This poem is in honor of Ezra, my second son, who leaves home this week to make his own way in the world, to follow his heart...
Much more than even so, SO much more than even... this kid, his heart, my heart... Go my wild sweet...held, beheld... emerge with widened wings... Two years ago my first son, Silas, left home.

There is a place in my heart When I sink down and in Where I am surprised to discover I am already whole My mind is suspicious Yet it is undeniably true There is a place in my heart When I sink down and in Where I discover my problems Are not actually problems But places of wild tenderness Where I find myself again When I sink down and in When I slow down inside When I trust enough To melt I find I am only ever meeting Myself And this meeting Is the truth It is the secret desire Inside all desires: All I ever really wanted Was me - Maya Luna
