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.

If you can't change yourself, after all the efforts, change the light by which you read your story. Exchange overhead for something softer - a lamp, a candle, a vine of shining holiday lights - and feel yourself become hugged by the fabric of shadows. You see the darkness here has wisdom too. You see these objects around become related by the pregnant emptiness that holds them, and you. Let this light reveal the rapture of being just this. Then, further still, try moonlight, or no light, until, at last, this open, sourceless incandescence which you are no matter who you think you are will follow you from the inside wherever you may go, however you may change, or not. - Brooke McNamara
Millennium Blessing There is a grace approaching that we shun as much as death, it is the completion of our birth. It does not come in time, but in timelessness when the mind sinks into the heart and we remember. It is an insistent grace that draws us to the edge and beckons us surrender safe territory and enter our enormity. We know we must pass beyond knowing and fear the shedding. But we are pulled upward none-the-less through forgotten ghosts and unexpected angels, luminous. And there is nothing left to say but we are That. And that is what we sing about. - Stephen Levine |
