Getting Ready to Leap

Getting Ready to Leap

Recognizing now to have reached
the edge of the precipice
Gazing beyond to the void
into the great abyss

Steadying, balancing
knowing it’s the place to be
Understanding the journey
has now allowed us to be free

Pausing but fleetingly
Allowing others to arrive
Numbers don’t matter
Who’s ready to take the dive?

Sparkling excitement and
calmness, being content
Eager to take the leap
Stage one is complete

A swan dive
A leap of faith
Jump time
Metamorphosis

Into the unknown
Baggage cast away, thrown
Into infinity
Owning our divinity

The future imaginable
A paradoxical parable
Bringing our essence
to Creation’s archsplendence

Ready, so ready
Not knowing the trigger point
Prepared and complete now
Taking an exit bow

In gratitude for the journey
and all it allowed
Enriched by experience, wisdom
the great love it endowed

Readied for the change!

When Illness Prevails

When illness prevails
One must lower one’s sails
Maybe throw out a sea anchor
or tie up at a berth

And as one is forced into a rest state
and lets go of the calendar date
there may be some discomfort
yet peace in the process

When illness happens rarely
to contrast sometimes unfairly
to a state of action and thriving
it may fuel the reviving

What causes our illness
our fevers or chilledness
may remain a mystery
or may go down in history

We may recognize the source of
an imbalance then the course of
a spin out of control –
how away we did roll

The peace and the quiet
allows all to settle
we try it
and balance is restored
and the lesson not ignored

One returns then perhaps cautiously
to an existence of generosity
now reminded the value of
precious time, rest and love

The Mirror – The Interface

The mirror is the interface
between what is and what was
However we see it
there is no because

To simply observe are we here?
Are we there?
And then is it possible
to be between as the mirror?

The quiet reflection
The place in between
Where nothing exists
and cannot be seen

And yet we can wonder
the possibilities there
That thin shiny place
reflecting back to a seer

To observe in between
the what is and what was
is a magical place
and where one can pause

and perhaps expand
from the nothingness there
and reflect back to both
its okay to be bared

To be bare and observed
as we are or have been
gives us an awareness
of being seen as a team

Now three places to be
and central to all
is the middle observer
the still point, the hall
