Meditation
I allow my mind to focus on my breath
Inhaling, noticing
Exhaling, noticing
The flow of air expanding and contracting
Allowing my mind to follow the waves
Relaxing into my body
Expanding
Contracting
Relaxing
Releasing tension into the earth
Sinking
My spirit light
Expanding
Forever sinking
Forever expanding
Through time and space
Growing into
Oneness
These Legs
I haven't always loved these legs
These legs have stood frozen in embarrassment
They have trembled with fear
They've jiggled too much had wonky shaped knees
My legs have stomped upon friendships in moments of anger
They've take me places I didn't want to be
Walked me in circles of confusion again and again
These legs walked me down the aisle blindly disconnected
I haven't always loved these legs
These legs crashed to their knees in grief for me
I found compassion for these legs
Forgiveness for these legs while understanding
It was me who should require their forgiveness
These sweet beautiful legs were always doing the best they could for me
Kindness to these legs, nourishment
Love for these legs
These legs began to strengthen
Between these legs birthed a daughter
I loved them even more fiercely
These legs grew so strong with that love
Through nurturing they learned to walk softly and swiftly
To stand strong with confidence
These legs learned to walk NO run away from things not meant for me
They've jumped for joy at the connection we've found
These legs happily skip us in the direction of our dreams
I use these strong legs to hold up my daughter
May she always love her legs
The Sun
The sun doesn't ask permission to rise.
It doesn't care if anyone appreciates its magnificence.
Unapologetically bright and hot.
The sun sets as a reminder that endings can be beautiful.
It always rises again, unwavering in its consistency.
Accepting and unafraid of its journey.
Gracefully and elegantly taking up space.
Enabling everything it touches to
Grow all ways
Always grow

The Grip of Grief
The grip of grief
So strong
I beg it to leave me be
To release its pressure just a little
You serve no purpose here
I scream into the nothing
But still it comes
Tightening
Until every cell in my being
Succumbs
Heavy and tight with sorrow
Waves of rage wash over me
How could you leave me here
I scream into the nothing
But I understand too well
Because his pain was my pain
The past
When not released
Has a power so strong
The mind must be stronger
The effort intense
Like climbing a mountain
A never ending peak
Release
Let go
Its not yours to carry
Grief tightens its grip
There is nothing to do
But feel it
Become it
Allow its squeeze to steal your breath
Sink into it
Surrender into grief
Knowing it will release
In its own time
Like a being all its own
You don't get to choose
You know it will be back
One day
And it will ease its grip again
One day
Its strong fingers
Never releasing you fully
Cradled in grief
Until death
Relieves you of the obligation
Of intense effort
Mountain climbing
Until those you leave behind
Feel
The grip of grief
Infinite Essence
Mothers womb
Cradled in comfort
Held gently
Rocked softly
Beautiful world of pinks and reds
I grow
Energy expanding
Body becoming stiff and sore
Not knowing what lay beyond
Too uncomfortable to stay
Passing through into the unknown
​
The Earth
Connected community
Held gently
Rocked softly
Beautiful world of greens and blues
I grow
Energy expanding
Body becoming stiff and sore
Not knowing what lay beyond
Too uncomfortable to stay
Passing through into the unknown
​
The infinite
Connected consciousness
Held gently
Rocked softly
Beautiful world of infinite color
I grow
Energy expanding
​
Sa Ta Na Ma
Birth, life, death, rebirth
Essence is infinite
​
Change
Entering inferno
Knowing
Aware
Accepting
Winds of change
Fanning flames
Transforming
Transcending
Tapas
Burning away
All that isn't
Consuming heat
Creating space
Trusting
Self
