Slow down....inside I am right here I am not where you are going I am the place you leave to find me I am Holy Fire Do you trust me? I am the One who makes your heart beat and every heart beat I am the Portal to the indescribable flame within you I am every longing you have ever felt and every passion you have ever suppressed I am Aliveness Open Allow Be danced Do you trust me? If you want to know bliss to feel passion burn You must become available to be astonished and amazed by the simplest things Notice the way when you wiggle your toes a tendril of joy quietly sprouts inside your chest Notice how you can run your fingertips on the edges of your skin and rivers of desire become instantly fulfilled You can take one single breath and watch your body explode in gratitude for living Then you can exhale and melt into the Great Fire of life's fertile emptiness You are the Portal It costs nothing....except everything you have ever dreamed you are Your dissatisfaction is a dream Your disappointment is a dream I am right here I have always been right here It really is this innocent Savor me Enter me Ignite - a compilation of poetry excerpts by Maya Luna This poem is in honor of my first-born son, Silas who leaves home this week to make his own way in the world, to heed Life's calling...
So much gladness! This kid, his heart, my heart... A living arrow the Archer sends forth...
When i had finally had enough of my own endless, uncreative complaints, I made my promise to do better. I turned around. I journeyed backward for millions of miles and millions of years into the end of miles and years to retrieve these words for you: You must be the one to do or undo whatever it takes to remember and activate your own furiously prolific heart, and your innate allegiance to every creature living and dying here with you. Our whole world is aching to be intimate with you again! Kiss me, sweet one, when you make it home. - Brooke McNamara |
